someone teach me how to draw clouds correctly.

[Yosher]

i suck immensely at drawing clouds
someone teach me the basics of drawing a basic cloud that doesn't look like the cloud you'd see in a little children's book. and by that sort of cloud i mean this:

That cloud looks like it has a REALLY evil face on.

Just look at pictures of real clouds, DONT USE BLUR! Draw loosely, if you know what that means, if not, it means just draw without giving a forget about where the brush goes. If you look at clouds really good artists draw, they rarely blur the stuff together, they slightly blend with the brush density settings a little low. When blending, I like using the darker color and the lighter color to make it look how i like. If im not making any sense, sorry.

just slap a bunch of colors around, clouds dont always look round in real life, make the bottoms a little flat.
try to not use white, use a blue-white color, and change the hue a little when doing shade, like a light blue cloud, shade it with a blue with a hint of purple

tl;dr just experiment
