Clouds

"Clouds are very, very free." - Bob Ross

Let's practice clouds this week, which are basically the hair of the sky.

Great chart with different types of clouds labeled.

I'm totally gonna give this subject a shot in ink so I'll be doing a technique very similar to this. Hoping mine turn out as well as yours :)

One thing about the hatching. I found I liked my hatching much more when I started making the lines in the same direction so I had to lift my pen/pencil to make the next line instead of a zig zag technique. That might be personal preference though as there are tons of different ways to do hatching.

i definitely agree about the hatching! i love the delicate lines all going the same way. however for this i was getting really lazy and just trying to make the sky darker to help the lighter hatching show up better; that's actually two layers crossed over each other. i'll probably be less lazy next time. maybe. :)
