Hello everyone,

I have been trying to imitate image no.1 down bellow. So far I have created image no.2 also down bellow but I am still not satisfied with the results. I have cloud brushes installed but I feel like this requires more tools to be used. I do not know what other tools or in what order to use them. So far I have been using brush and smudge and adjusting opacity, hardness, size and toughness. I also want to have this ''misty/foggy'' background behind clouds.

How can I achieve best results like in the first image? What steps do I need to follow?

Thanks for the answers.

Not many takers on this one.
Not a bad image that you want to reproduce. Is it privately owned?
It's only an image of water vapor in the atmosphere of our planet after all.

Here are images of storm clouds 'labelled for reuse with modification'.

Thank you for your time to answer me.
After trial and error I finally was able to made one that is almost perfect. I downloaded some fog and mist brushes and it did the trick. I am crating this image for my texture pack for minecraft. This one is going to be used as a sky. See bellow.

My images are free to use. I do not bother with some ''private owning'' of some image. But the image no.1 in the post above is someone else but its not the whole image. I took screen part of it as an example.
