Create clouds

This tutorial will teach you how to create clouds in Photoshop. This effect is very simple and creates realistic looking clouds. This tutorial uses the Photoshop’s built in cloud filter.

Create clouds

Step 1

Create a new Photoshop document. You can choose whatever canvas size you wish.


Step 2

You need to choose a white foreground colour and a blue background colour. I used #3f7cf8 for my blue colour, but you can use whatever blue colour you wish. Try to use a blue colour that looks similar to the sky as this makes the cloud effect more realistic.



Step 3

Now select Filter > Render > Clouds.



You should have some nice clouds. If you don’t like the look of your clouds you can repeat the process above. And you will get a slightly different look of cloud.
