#experimenting with brushes and techniques

[stormystarlight]

stuuuuupid teenagers i hate *tomato tomato tomato tomato

hey anyone remember my previous attempts at experimenting with painting techniques that i all thought looked "too clean"? well heh. watch this:

genuinely though i think i finally got the look down that i was goin for! i wasnt planning on painting these, they started as just sketches for the purpose of nailing down how i wanted to draw these two (since it's been 4 years since i last did and a lot has changed). but idk i felt like fuckin around. and im glad i did! i learned some valuable things this time including:

Scribbling is Good, Actually,

use the navigator panel to focus on the big picture

leave the sketch in the final drawing just paint over the parts you dont like

dont bother using the paintbrush for fine details just use your lineart brush i know it's a painting it's okay it looks good like that it's fine i promise

i did the underpainting under the characters only like i mentioned i wanted to try last time and i was right it kicks ass

anyway yeah im feeling good about this one. i didnt hate the process either it was relatively quick and enjoyable! #swag. i might use this style/process for art fight stuff too this year i think that would be epicsauce. okay have a good day

Ang ganda yung art mo GGHHHOORLLLL!

I was looking at the line work you do and was wondering: do you ink it physically and then scan it, or is it fully digital? It's really good and gives a solid grit to it and adds texture to your works. How do you do that?

shdhfh maraming salamatttt 💞💕

99% of what I post here is all digital because I don’t really have access to a scanner very often! my inking style looks the way it does because I draw traditionally in my sketchbooks a LOT and the way I ink digitally is Exactly The Same as I do traditionally (which is why you see a lot of double lines in my inking, stray lines, or scribbling when I fill in solid blacks without the fill tool, I also always turn off any stabilization features a brush might have bc I don’t like the way it feels) and I often go looking for brushes that are gritty or crunchy so that it looks similar to the pens I use on paper!

You can see a bunch of the stray lines and general scribbling I did here, which is exactly what my irl sketchbooks look like, and the circled brushes (I edited these after I downloaded them all to have 0 stabilization) are the ones I used for it!

Physical differences between Margot and P

Hi I'm back - a bit late, a sorta-flu has been kicking my ass since last week, the New Year happened, then I got back to work and my sorta-flu decided to get worse - ANYWAY, get yourself some tea and check out one of the new tracks from Margot's playlist while reading that post.

While I'm slowly starting to write my fic, I've decided to show some differences between Margot and other characters. If there's a thing I LOVE in this game, it's how varied the characters look, the devs didn't shy away from giving them specific traits that makes them very unique in a "would see them in the street" sort of way.

I've been picturing specific traits for Margot in that aspect, and found a fitting model for her as well last week - Olivia Hussey. Her parents also have models, I'll show them later. Let's just say Margot is a proper mix of the traits both of her parents present.

Anyway, here is the quick rundown of the facial differences between Margot and P.

If you can't read my handwriting, here are the explanations:

Jaw: Margot's jaw is v-shaped with a pointy chin, P's jaw is squarish with a wider chin;

Eyes: Margot's eyes are almond-shaped with a rounded inner corner, P's eyes are droopy and semi-hooded;

Lips: Margot's lips are downturned and her lower lip is notably fuller, P's lips have a more balanced fullness between the upper and lower lip.

Both of them have a dark lash line with long eyelashes though lol However P's hair is dark brown while Margot's hair is black, and P's eyebrows are more angled than Margot's. Margot's cheekbones are a bit more pronounced than P's, he has a bit more roundness at the cheeks. P has striking blue eyes while Margot's are dark brown. Margot has an even porcelain-like skin with a beauty mark under the left eye and particularly red lips, while P has freckles and two notable beauty marks above his upper lip and on his lower lip.

Overall, while both of them seem to physically be about the same age, there's some sharpness in Margot's face that contrasts with her rather delicate and youthful features, while P's face retains some dainty roundness (and some neotonous features like his freckles and rounded forehead) that contrasts with the otherwise typically boyish traits such as a square jaw and hooded eyes.

TERROR!

[hey-scully-itsme]

i'm watching videos on cat training to prep for my kitten and just absolutely mindboggled at the prevalence of the myth that you can't train cats. it's such a foundational assumption and yet cats are so obviously trainable.
