Color Your Cartoon Cloud Drawing

Cartoon Cloud step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 11

Your cartoon cloud outline is now complete.

We often think of clouds as fluffy and white, so you may decide to leave your cloud uncolored. Or, you can add some light shading as seen in our illustration.

Notice how triangular shapes are shaded on the right side of the upper lobes of the cloud. Near the bottom of the cloud, you can draw a line parallel to the edge, then shade between it and the edge.

For a white cloud, use a light blue or gray for your shading. Or, you can use dark colors for a stormcloud or warm colors for sunset clouds as discussed above.
