Once you have painted all of your clouds, hide your original text layer by clicking the eyeball icon next to your text layer in the Layers palette.Ĭreate a new layer on top of everything else, and using a regular, soft round brush, paint over the top of your cloud text using white. That way if you paint an area that you don't like, you can fix it later without having to delete a huge chunk of your text. I highly recommend that with every few brush strokes you make, you create a new layer. You can flip, resize, and rotate your brushes in the Brush palette to add variation as you paint. Repeat this process using more of your cloud brushes. Select one of your cloud brushes and use the keys to decrease or increase the size of the brush until it will fit nicely along some of the horizontal strokes of the text.Ĭreate a new layer and paint a few copies of your brush on top of your text. Load your cloud brushes into Photoshop, select the brush tool (b), and set your paint color to white. Unlock the background layer and fill it with black.Ĭreate your title text using the font Defused in white, then set the Opacity to 25%.

This tutorial relies heavily on our Clouds Brush Pack 1, which contains 12 super high resolution cloud brushes.

This tutorial will show you how to use some very basic skills, along with high quality Photoshop brushes, to achieve an ethereal cloud text effect. Sometimes, however, taking the time to do something by hand can yield more interesting results. Many times it makes tedious tasks go by faster without having much effect on the final outcome of our designs. Every new release of Photoshop includes some kind of tool that automates something we are used to doing manually.
