Absol, Sylveon, and Marowak ko-fi doodle for Airi! ☁️💤
#artists on tumblr#pokemon#absol#sylveon#marowak#gotchibam arts#ko-fi doodle#sorry for making you wait so long! ;_;#tbh i've had to redo this many times bc I started using a diff brush for the lines#wasn't really digging the monoline style at first so I had to experiment w/ coloring instead#eventually settled w/ adding highlights to the lines to make it pop & I think this works better for me#i'm hoping you'll like it too!!#tysm for being patient w/ me ;w;

something something max's main color being red with blue highlights something something grace's main color being blue with red highlights something something motivations something something alive and dead something something


#would i like to do an analysis on the lighting? yes.#but for some reason my brain is only capable of analyzing bf and some bits of tgwdlm#dont expect much from me#but something i CAN say is that#the colors can represent their motivations and connections to the lords in black#such as dying in the waylon hall and getting to use the black book#and by motivations i mean#with grace; she decided to use the powers of the black book to get rid of 'dirty dudes'#which is something she most likely believes as a correct action#but the red highlights indicate the bits on evilness in her#it shows how her intentions don't change her actions#and for max; red is for vengeance#yet the blue highlights are used in here#mostly for 'who will pray for me' bit#and#this is something related. i believe that max was reflecting himself when saying those lines#it was not only for richie to repeat but also about himself#anyway back to the lighting#the blue represents that there is something deeper than just vengeance#'who will pray for me when im gone'#thats about himself. he knows that no one in the schoo really cared that much about his death besides the game#they only cared about the game. not max himself#so the lights during both npmd and ddmd represent#their connections to the lords. their motivations and intent. and how their actions are made#starkid#hatchetfield#nerdy prudes must die#npmd#max jagerman#grace chasity

#detroit become human#connor rk800#rk900#hank anderson#hank then says oh boy come on lets go to lunch and they all go to lunch#i like the idea that sure rk900 can talk but the idea of telling connor he might be malfunctioning#is a very personal thing and he respects NOT broadcasting that news so he just does the mind link#and then is like well that worked out better so no one else can hear me be wrong even though i still think im right#idk man just seeing him in one scene where connor is told oh youll be deactivated#is like wow ive seen so much fanart of this fella and i really like him but he is basically a fandom oc and i dont want to be wrong#also i noticed some artists color his hair darker than connors but some draw him the same hair color#so i kinda mixed it with using the same base but then making the shading and highlights less warm#its probably not even that noticeable to anyone but SHRUGS

Very simple Charlie and Vaggie I did to try out coloring them with highlighters! ❤️🔥🎀
#hazbin hotel#charlie morningstar#charlie hazbin hotel#charlotte morningstar#vaggie#vaggie motha#vaggie hazbin hotel#chaggie#fanart#hazbin hotel fanart#highlighter#my art#Also I think it’s obvious but just incase: The reason Vaggie is purple is because I’m using highlighters as color sooo… no gray.#But it’s fun and stylish I like it

#i am actually crying over the coloring in this bc i have been having so much trial and error with this specific color scheme#where it's almost chromatic and a lot of cyan pulls from the highlight making things look iridescent#oc: theo#ts4#simblr#show us your sims#sims community

A really distinctive feature of your art style is the white outlines you put around things. It gives it a very shiny and polished look, and makes shapes distinct from each other. How did you develop this technique? Would it be weird to you if I started using it in my own art style, as someone who's always trying to make everything look bright and shiny?
hey !! yeah so this actually started as an accident, I used to do lighting by placing a hard light layer w/ pink over lit areas and accidentally changed it to an add layer once. i liked how it looked so i started using that to highlight things and eventually saw that it rlly works for defining shapes, esp w/ hair and clothes
i usually like to think of it as a way to outline where light and shadows meet to create contrast w/ a base tone. i also like using different brushes and colors to make certain parts of a drawing more interesting (for me, the most boring part of my style is the hair and clothes. adding lighting there helps uplift it)
absolutely feel free to take inspiration, i think building an artstyle should be taking the parts you like from other artists so i would be honored :) here are some tips and what i generally follow while doing this. good luck !!



#ask koko#thanks for asking !!#when in doubt though i will usually use very light pink as these highlights. its not a normal layer but an “add” layer in procreate#like color dodge or screen but stronger (probably 1-2 of these in another app would also work)#highlights#art advice#maybe ??? i dont feel qualified to give advice
