I was wondering what's your process for creating plants? Specifically where you have to create leaves/flowers/branches out of a stem.

i really enjoy making flowers. basically, when i find one that looks fun to model, i’ll get a few photo references of real flowers, like this one from Home Depot’s website 

so i can get a basic idea of their colors and shapes. 

after that, i pretty much just make each component separately, one piece at a time. the stem, pistil, and stamen are essentially just long cylinders that widen and narrow at the ends, the leaves and petals start out as circles that i shape and alter over time, and then after coloring and detail work is done i move each separate model into place so that they start to resemble a complete flower

it’s kind of like putting a puzzle together, except you also make each of the pieces.

actually please don’t call him daddy : (

a few ppl asked a while ago how to do the glitchy texture effect n i never rlly gave a good answer so heres a small tutorial:

1. add a wave modifier first, make the height really small (like 0.1-0.2), turn the speed to 1 and the width to less than 0.4 

2. add a subsurf second (sometimes u dont need this one though, its mostly to stop the face/eyes collapsing on low poly models)

3. add a decimate modifier last

can you do a tutorial on how you color your artwork? it's so pretty!! 😍🤩

this is not the best and only way to color but personally i think it’s easy and quite effective for beginner artists who are practicing setting the mood for an artwork or laying out ground work for more detailed illustrations

I’m using Clip Studio Paint for this drawing.

Step 1: The base color

Use magic wand and bucket tool to lay out the base color, you can use different layers for each colors to be more precise, and it’s easier to change the colors later on. I use mainly warm tones for my base color because i prefer the look of it. Step 2: Coloring the lineart

Use a clipping layer above the lineart layer to do this step (there are other ways of course, you can search for them online) Color the lines that isn’t intersected with the background, the inner lines. Especially the skin part to reduce stiffness of the lineart, also help adding shadows.

I usually draw the darkest shadow areas with my lineart so i can color them at the same time.

Step 3: Adding shadow

Group the lineart + base color into 1 big group. Add a clipping layer above that group. Switch the layer mode to “Multiply”. Add the shadow area using a desaturated/grayish hue of your choice to set the mood for the drawing.

Example:

If the mood you want is more broody, use more cool tones (blue, purple,..)

 If the mood is more festive or happy, use more warm tones

A drawing should consists both cool AND warm tones, other wise it would look dull. The second example has too much warm tones because the base color is already warm. 

Step 4: Add filter layers/adjustment layers

This is where the magic happens. Enhance your art work by adding more Multiply and Overlay layers, set the mood as you like it to look, balancing the tones, play around. I wanted this particular drawing to have an overall cold feeling to it, so I added a blue multiply layer

Adding light with a beige overlay layer, using the airbrush with low opacity. This also help creating contrast between the shadow and light areas

But wait,,, it looks,,,,,, it looks too sad!! they are comforting each other after a terrible situation! Adam is not dead! I need another warm multiply layer!

There, it’s now finished.  Quick tip: If your colors are looking off/doesn’t go well with each other, group everything and add a beige multiply layer on top! It would look better instantly! Learning color theory, color harmony also helps A LOT!! find tutorials and study from the masters! Good luck with your art, Anon!

how do you make ur art look like its glowing?? it's gorgeous!!

I’ll give you a weird secret.  After you put the glowing object on a dark background, surround the white parts with a halo of highly saturated color.  Observe:

It doesn’t have to be that blatant- smaller outlines of color, blended properly with the background, can make an equally effective glow-y look :)

i literally love how your color and shade if it’s ok do you have any tips on digital coloring? you don’t have to answer this if you don’t feel like it :) thanks!!

hello friend!! i have a tutorial i made on twitter a while ago which is more or less how i make my colours more interesting. i still use the technique and in general it’s just a lot of colour adjustment nothing too special LOL here!!
