Studies I shouldn’t post but here i am.....

This translation is more centered on Hanji, but there is still some Levihan in it as well! The last few pages gave me the feels!!!! (~˘▾˘)~ 

I now ship Hanji and Glasses-san. (─‿‿─)

Sketch VS Colored

I have so many colored version of this sketch, yet ain’t satisfied with any ...

Wip

I couldn’t decide whether to add highlights or not. so here are 3 versions of Joji to bless your evening ▼ω▼

this lemur didn’t seem pleased that i was taking photos of him

Birthday Gift ( from me to me)

i hate this life....

To clarify the concept a bit whenever I pass through unpleasent series of events and shit, i get attached to a specific species of animals. I watch videos of them , i follow documentaries about how Man's actions are affecting their kind, and i daydream about them a lot and a lot and consequently get emotionally attached to them :)

at 7~10 years old i was heavily attracted to the brown 🐻 watched many documentaries about dem cuties on every available animals channels. And Now -since 2019- I am more attracted to Orcas, Intelligent animals with massive mind blowing lifestyles 🖤🤍.Moreover, 👀Myths say that they lead the lost ones to their homes.🧎🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

You know but the real reason behind this drawing is that i saw an old friend picture on facebook winning a writing award and her book will gett printed... I freezed cause i was a good native writer once . I used to get full marks on writing assigments and tests been callled "Gibran Khalil Gibran" among my friends,i was able to put alll my thoughts on papers without hestiation or fear. And now i am worthless looser that can scribbles and barely make decent works . I wanted to do something that i only will understand featuring the differences about my life when i was 10 years old and when i turned 20 today

I really want to write big paragraphs, but basically all what i wanna say is just how disaapointed i am from this life and from anyone who expects the best of me cause i have"pOtEntIal". I can't recall what life lessons i learnt from the passed years especially in this stressful year because of the thawra, the fires around my university, corona virus, quarintine, economic and electricity crisises and a lot of khara events... in short i lost my faith

hey yall ive been doing a lot more painting and proper rendering recently and i wanna give yall this very important tip about coloring skin that i found

the reason skin looks light or dark is Contrast !

and Contrast is made by Highlights and Shadows !!

to put it simply:

lighter skin has sharp, dark shadows and soft highlights

darker skin has sharp, bright highlights and soft shadows

it doesnt really matter what color your light source and shadow is, this is typically gonna stay the same

(( so dont trust an artist if they consistently make people w dark skin look pale and say that "the lighting is making it that way" instead of taking the criticism and learning from it ))

Mini SAI guide - "Blending (color blending)", "Dilution (opacity mix)", and "Persistence" settings.

I’ve had a general idea what these things did but wasn’t completely sure what their specific functions were. I decided to sit down and figure it out, and I have thrown together a short reference guide for anyone who is confused about them. I know there are multiple translations of SAI floating around, so if some of these terms don’t sound familiar, just know that I’m talking about the three settings that appear under the texture in the brush tool settings (note that this won’t apply to any tool types except for brushes and watercolor brushes).

I don’t claim to be an expert so if you find I’ve made a mistake, let me know so I can update it, thanks! :3

BLENDING (Color Blending)

This controls how readily the brush will inherit any colors you are painting over with it. For example, a 0% blending setting will pick up no existing colors, treating it as if you were painting on a transparent layer. A 100% blending setting will ONLY pick up existing colors (provided there are any). So at 100%, the color you’re using won’t even show up, unless you move to a transparent area. Blending is not affected by transparent pixels, so if you’re drawing on a blank layer it will have no effect.

So you can see from this example that the color I’m using gets harder to paint as the blending increases and more of the existing green is absorbed, until at 100% it is just completely turning green.

DILUTION (Opacity Mix)

This controls how readily the brush will draw on a blank (transparent) part of the layer. A 0% Dilution will result in the brush painting very easily onto a blank surface, while a brush with 100% dilution will literally not paint on blank parts of the layer at all. Dilution is ONLY affected by transparent pixels. So it won’t do anything if the whole layer is already filled in (even with white). Dilution can be thought of as the inverse of the Blending setting in some ways.

So in this example, you can see that as dilution approaches 100%, the color I’m painting with basically becomes invisible. In fact, if you were to switch to binary color mode and look at this layer, there would literally be nothing there anymore!

Keep this in mind - if you ever can’t paint for some reason, check your dilution setting, it might have gotten accidentally bumped to 100!

PERSISTENCE

This one goes hand-in-hand with blending. Basically, it controls how easily a brush shifts color as you are blending from one color to another. Rather, how long it “persists” if you will. Like blending, Persistence is only really relevant when painting over existing color so it’s mostly unaffected by transparent pixels. Basically, the higher the persistence, the longer it will take for the color to shift as you make a stroke, and subsequently, from which color to which other color it is shifting is dependent on the blending setting.

So for this example I’ve done the same test with three different levels of blending. I turned off all pressure sensitivity (actually I just used my mouse) to emphasize the effects in a controlled environment:

If blending is at 0%, persistence fails to have any real effect. With pressure on, there is only the difference of having to push harder, but the results will be the same as far as I can tell.

At a happy medium of 50%, persistence increase causes the orange that the brush is picking up to last longer as it goes into the green, until it never shifts to blue at all.

At 100% blending, there was never any blue in the first place, because as we already know, full blending causes you to only pick up existing color. So the persistence setting changes only how fast the orange changes to green.

Persistence is dependent upon the blending settings, so having them somewhere in the middle will probably produce the most optimal results.

CONCLUSION

Ultimately how you use these is up to you, and is largely dependent on what kind of brush you’re making and what it will be used for. And most of these settings are meant to be used together in unison, so play around with them a lot!

If you are confused, or not sure what settings you want or what settings you should be using, a safe bet is to put them all at about 50% - that will produce fairly average results that are easy to work with, and it’s easy to remember in case you want to experiment but don’t want to forget your settings in case you decide to switch back. 

Hope that helps!
