From the looks of this one, it seems as if it can be done using the smudge tool in photoshop if done correctly (and dodge/burn?), but in case if i'm wrong what do you think can be done to achieve this look? (these are dark clouds by the way, it's rain and is from naruto shippuuden episode 139)




And for this one, i'm looking at the cement. What technique is used here? It also seems like smudge tool can achieve this but i'm not sure. It also just seems like a gradient feature... I can't really figure it out.




Thanks!

At first I thought it's both mad tablet soft shading skills with brushes, but now that you've mentioned the smudge and dodge effects..hmm I don't know :/.

are you talking about the cloud reflection from the wet cement on pic 2? I thinks it's the smudge n dodge tec.
