Clouds are an essential element in landscape drawings.

After you’ve sketched out a scene with a valley, mountains, and trees, adding clouds can take your artwork to the next level.

While clouds are typically white, I chose to color the cloud drawing light blue to create contrast against the white background.

However, if you’re working on a landscape with a blue sky, it’s best to leave the clouds white.

There are different ways that you can draw clouds depending on the look that you are trying to achieve.

Well, here are two easy ways to get started!

First, draw a straight line for the bottom of the cloud

Step 2: Depict the top of the cloud

Draw a part of the cloud consists of a large number of curved lines of various sizes.
