Starting on a 500x500 canvas, we set up the tablet to have a reasonable pressure sensitivity and to only spread across one monitor to give more control. The brush dynamics were then set by changing a default soft brush and hard brush by activating Shape Dynamics, which allows the pen pressure to control the size of the brush, and transfer (AKA Other Dynamics) which controls the opacity of the brush.
This allowed us to start creating the cloud by mixing together the brushes. After laying down the dots across the canvas, I began smudging them together to create a softer edge as a cloud would have.
The completed brush is below:
Our next task was to save that brush and, only using that brush, create a skyscape of clouds by layering shades one on top of another.
Below are two examples of using the cloud brushes.
