Do your clouds look flat? Here's how to paint dramatic, atmospheric skies in digital art
Briefly

Painting clouds in digital art can be challenging, especially when considering their role as a primary light source in landscape or concept art. Effective cloud painting involves setting the mood, where the color and light from clouds can dominate an image, like depicting a sunset with dramatic hues. Artists should focus on using the right shapes to maintain realism; for instance, cumulus clouds should not be associated with rain. Mastering these concepts enhances the overall storytelling in the artwork.
When creating a mood with your clouds, think about what hues they'll generate and how this will affect your scene.
If you paint cumulus clouds and then make them rain, your image will immediately feel odd.
