I’m Not Really Good At Explaining Or Teaching Things… So… Here You Go. This Is More Like An Example

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!

WHY IS DRAWING HANDS SO FUCKING HARD

Hi! regarding your latest post, may I know which brushes and program did you use for it? Thanxx

I used Clip Studio Paint, the Rough brush is a standard brush in the program. Rough 2 is a variation of Rough (settings above), and Rough 3 is the same as Rough 2 + an extra marble texture. Hope that was helpful :)

Static Texture Tutorial (Blender 2.7)

So it’s been a hot minute since i’ve posted any tutorials on here, and one of my gifs featuring a static texture recently got a nice amount of attention on twitter, so i thought i’d post a tutorial on how to make an effect like this 

in blender (blender 2.7 to be exact, i haven’t updated yet because i’m an old senior citizen set in their ways). This one’s super simple, it literally takes about 5 seconds, so let’s get started.

How do you draw noses?

I’m not sure what specific part you’re wondering about, so here’s a run-through of my process from sketching to painting!

1) The first thing I do is simplify the nose into a few basic shapes to get a prism-like block, like so:

2) I can now easily draw the prism shape in three-dimensional space depending on the angle and rotation of the head.

3) Using the guidelines/planes I can draw a proper nose in any angle! There aren’t many tricks or shortcuts for this step, unfortunately (other than practicing lots). I recommend using references, they’re always helpful :)

4) Really important to note: all noses vary greatly, especially from different ethnicities! A high-bridge “aristocratic” sort of nose or a ski-slope button nose might be accurate for some people, but definitely not everyone. Compare differences in size, width, a hooked or button nose tip, high or low nose bridge, and so on:

5) Then I paint! I have a skin tone tutorial here, if it helps. Take note of the lighting, skin tone, etc. Here are some things I keep in mind:

For pale skin tones, the nose sometimes has a redder colouration than the rest of the face because of increased blood flow.

The nose also usually has highlights (due to oil). These are located on the tip of the nose, the nostril groove, and where the base of the nose meets the flat area of skin around it!

Hope this helps! In the end, all stylistic choices are completely up to you. Art’s subjective, so feel free to draw any noses you want :)

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
