So as an exercise I'm modeling a concept I've made for a Japanese style t-shirt design:
Obviously cartoon style, let's see if I can do that

This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Are you going to utilise the toon shaders?

Are just scaling smoothness (1,2,3) or did you convert?

For your clouds it maybe might be an option if you would "sculpt" it out of maybe a bigger cube or sphere instead of combining a loot of spheres together.
Anyway a great idea indeed and that could come out really cool. Keep on!

I did not convert with mesh smooth no I just pressed 3 on my keyboard.
@ThexDuke: Thanks man, appreciate the encouragement. At first I tried to use nurbs for the clouds but I had too much of hard time merging shapes together so I decided playa round with subD but couldn't achieve what I wanted so decided to go with poly spheres and the popcorn style clouds I wanted to achieve went pretty well I think. How would you go with a cube? extrude faces in different places and when you smooth it becomes round?
