Hi Steemians, 

Am attending the drawing challenge #8 by @Helene. This round's theme is cloud. As we all know cloud doesn't have specific shapes, it varies all the time. It's really hard to draw. In order to take part in this contest, I tried to learn how to draw cloud with pencil first. Hopefully this is not too shabby.

> 我来参加 @Helene 举办的第8期绘画比赛。这轮的主题是云。众所周知，云漂浮不定，没有固定的形状。非常难画。为了参加这次的比赛，我特地学了一些，希望还能拿得出手。

Shade the sky with pencil. Decrease pencil pressure when I go down the paper. 

>  用铅笔把天空的地方影黑。在往下的地方减轻下笔的力度。

Add some dark details to the bottom, increase contrast and finish up details 

> 在底部的地方把云的颜色调深些，加上对比色，最后完成一些细节就完成了。
