Cloud Drawing Step 7 Shade or Colour in Your Cloud

All you have to do now is colour or shade in your cloud. Obviously clouds are generally white, and rain clouds are grey. However you can try a light blue or even yellow in places to show the sun shining through. 

It’s always good practice to think of where the light source is coming from so that you can have lighter and darker patches on your cloud. Obviously if the light is coming from the left the right side of your cloud will be shadier.
