^ that’s assuming you’re not drawing from a low perspective, as if the camera was on the floor or something like that!

SORRY MY HANDWRITING SUCKS and i’m not really good at explaining things bc i don’t really follow a guide and stuff so yeah BUT I HOPE IT WAS HELPFUL TO YOU!!

Custom brush tutorial kinda??

Heres how you can make pixel brushes in Clip Studio Paint

first make a little pixel pattern and made sure that the background layer is transparent.

then you want to select edit -> register material -> image. this i remember from trying it before

next name it and choose a place for it to go among the others. doesnt matter where really. also check the texture box.

next to make the brush choose whatever brush that youd like to give it that has the properties you want and copy it. i just chose the standard oil brush. go to the copied brushes settings and click texture

click where it says none and find the brush that you made. after you click it change the setting to this

for me the texture works for subtract, multiply and compare. dont really know the differences between them all or form the others but for what i wanted those three seemed to work.

i did this for a bunch of different pixel patterns and brushes and got some cool effects! check it out!

i appreciate all the help and suggestions yall gave me!

maybe once i figure them out some more i could offer stylized commissions with them :V

So, you’re planning on drawing characters with certain undertones but you sure don’t want to make some racist yellowface/redface mess. This subject has been touched on a few times, but I figured I’d give my tips to digital artists out there.

Here’s another really quick tutorial from me:

Start with your base colour on a Normal layer.

Open a new layer ontop of it.

On that new layer, use a very pale yellow, orange, pink (or if you want a cool blueish undertone use a slightly purplish light pink) to cover your base skintone with.

Set that new layer to Multiply, and you’re done.

Note: Multiply layers make the colours of the layer underneath it darker, if you’re drawing someone super pale, mess around with an even lighter colour or change the opacity on the layer. Don’t change the layer to Screen or Luminosity, it’ll completely wash out your image. 

The undertones in dark skin are a little richer in colour (in fact most yellow undertones in brown skin are more of a golden undertone), so you can make that Multiply colour that’s a darker pastel yellow or red or what have you.

You can also use this trick to show a blush on any skintone as well!

(Though, with blushing, you can’t really blush with dark skin, but if that’s what you want to go for anyways, this trick looks way more natural than random pink circles or lines on top)

And if you want more references on undertones on real people, beauty blogs man. They’re the way to go:

Hey got any tips of drawing in the cr style?

Well first off, study the sprite sheets of the characters. They can all be found on the Cookie Run wiki.To draw in a style it helps to study the style too and figure out the elements of how the characters are put together. For Cookie Run it goes hand in hand with my style because a lot of it is very Geometric. Even with cookies who are oddly shaped. 

I talked about this with my Discord once about how basic shapes can really go into making the character design solid and this seems to largely be the basis of how CR renders it’s characters.

Even characters build like Purple Yam and Milk Cookie use this more basic geometry when building the foundation of the character. It all comes down to a more simplistic style based on shapes. 

That being said, When I build characters I use basic shapes to do it. That’s why a lot of my earlier drawings of the CR OCs look so different compared to now, because back then I was learning it. The easiest way to do it is to try drawing a CR character, build them as you see them, and then adapt that into how you draw. 

And obviously cookies aren’t all the same shape! Shapes really can go into how people will interpret your character and their personality! So don’t be afraid to think outside of the box and look at different shapes for different characters! 

That’s about as many tips as I have for now, but that’s the fundamentals over how I go about it.

Quick art tip - child proportions

Ok this is a real quick one but let me show you how to get more-or-less accurate sizes for child characters. Kids are tricky to draw, they are - from toddler up to about teens people change radically almost every year so pinpointing character’s size during those years is pure hell.

What you need to do to make everything super easy for yourself is to check their Head Proportion. What makes kids look like - well, kids, is that their heads are proportionally large in comparison to their body.

Average adult is about 7,5 heads tall in comparison to their own body, however with children under 10 that number is just under 6 heads with about 1 head shorter the younger you go down to 3 heads as an infant.

Easiest way to figure the so-so head-height of a certain age is to find images of said age group and do a quick count on them

at which after you can replicate it in your own works - don’t mind if it’s not 1:1 with reference, finding images that are actually of the age you need is tricky and kids in general vary a lot so someone might be a lot taller than others. You have a bout  0,5 -1 heads of wiggle room before it starts to look way older.

Proportions are super important in art and i lovingly recommend everyone to figure out basics of them - it’s the easiest way to get notifically better with art. I could go on about proportions but let’s wrap this up. Need to note however that head proportion is not same as character height - a character can be 15 feet tall but still have head-height of 6, HH is simply a way to scale out the body.
