How to draw realistic clouds?

Use a hard pencil to sketch the shape of a cloud very lightly,drawing a few intersecting ovals in various sizes.

Draw a ragged outline of the cloud going around the shape suggested by the ovals.

Tilt your pencil to draw with a side of it. Drag it all around the cloud,covering the background with gray.

Use your blending tool (cotton swab,blending stump,finger wrapped in a tissue) to blend the strokes.

Shade the shadow area,tilting the pencil.

Blend the shadow,trying to stay within the outlines of the cloud.

Add small shadows in the light area
