In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to blend colors seamlessly to achieve a magical, ethereal cloud effect. 

Materials Needed:

  • Alcohol markers (blue, purple, pink, light pink)

  • White acrylic pen

  • White Gelly Roll pen

Step 1: Add a Light Base Color

Fill the cloud with light pink. Use gentle strokes or circular motions to avoid harsh lines.

Step 2: Add Depth with Shadows

Apply a deeper shade with pink to the bottom and edges of the cloud. Blend it gently to create depth while keeping the cloud airy and soft.

Step 3: Add a different hue to create more depth

You can use purple or blue.

Step 4: Highlight for a Glowing Effect

Use a white acrylic pen or a white Gelly Roll pen to add highlights along the top and edges of the cloud. This enhances the dreamy, glowing effect.

And that’s it!
