REESE’S TAKE 5 COOKIES

What's that keypad thing next to your tablet? It looks cool!

It’s actually a USB numpad that I reprogrammed to use as a Photoshop  hotkey/shortcut pad! There’s an entire tutorial here on how to do it. 

But I ended up doing this because with the way my work area is set up, it’s much easier to have all my shortcuts close to my left hand while I’m drawing with my right hand, instead of having to reach over to use the keyboard.

I bought the numpad at my local computer store on clearance for $6 (regular price was $10) and the sticker paper for $4 at Wal-Mart (it’s actually 8.5″ x 11″ shipping labels). The tutorial I provided above already has everything you need to make one of these keypads yourself, including the sticker files, so it only cost me $10 to make mine. Compare that to the brand name programmable hotkey pads (like X-Keys) that cost $100+!! 

It’s very useful and I highly recommend doing it if you find yourself frustrated with your work station (like having to reach over your tablet for your keyboard).

One thing I suggest tho that the tutorial left out, is that when you print the stickers out, make sure you put strips of scotch tape over the printed image before you cut them out, that way the ink won’t rub off from your fingers touching them on the keys all the time.

Did you seriously just censor Trump? Wow okay...

Here is your daily reminder that the tr*mp administration consists of literal spawns of Satan. Elephants are probably gonna go extinct because of this.

a quick grass tutorial

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad

1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.

I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.

2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.

3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.

4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.

5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.

6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.

7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.

and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.
