So I'm still kind of new to digital art myself and not very good, can I ask a few questions? How were you able to achieve a realistic cloud? I thought that was a photo at first lol. Also are you using stock brushes or downloaded ones? How were you able to achieve the textures in the trees, grass and such. Reflection and water are hard so I am curious as to how you did that as well.

Uploaded a speed paint video though it's probably too fast to glean anything from it.

Thank you I will check it out. You can slow videos down on the youtube settings on the pull up mouse over so no worries. I can adjust if needed.

Np. First, all my brushes are stock (the app I use doesn't allow for custom). The cloud was done with a watercolor bleed, alternating from a large brush for wispy edges to a small brush for the more defined edges. Shading and highlighting is done using the same brush with the opacity at 10%, 20% or 50%. Multiple rounds of shading and highlighting was done while mixing up brush size and opacity. I use smudge for where the wind picks up some of the wisps at the top of the cloud. The textures in the trees and grass were with the crayon brush (it only looks like crayon if keep the brush size 5 pixels or less). Using brush sizes of 50, 25 and 10 pixels at 50% opacity, I shade and highlight as I did with
the cloud. Reflections of the trees are done by vertical strokes with a flat brush and using erase along the edges. The birds I simply copied, flipped and slightly darkened.

That is really cool. Thank you, I guess I need to learn to alternate brushes more and try playing around more with opacity instead of sticking at the same couple of brushes. I will experiment a bit more.

Dude this is excellent. I love the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the whole piece. The shading on the cloud looks phenomenal, I almost mistook it for a photo at first. Great piece! Cheers
