young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can
how do you achieve the soft look in your art, especially your lineart? it's so beautiful!
Hi there!! Thank you for the kind words! 🫶🫶🫶💕💕
I think my line art looks “soft” because I don’t actually do a line art layer.
For most of my work, I just start off with a sketch using a pencil brush. Then I add a linear burn layer on which I add my flat colours. After that I just paint on top of what I want to render. I “outline” things as I render if they need an outline, and just colour the rest of the shapes in. I’m not sure how to explain it but I’ve attached a time-lapse of some of my rendering so you can see—I don’t know how useful it will be, and also the quality is really bad, but I hope it helps a bit!!
I use a round/oval brush (with only brush opacity being pressure sensitive) for everything past the sketch layer.
Also, tbh most of the time I don’t really mind things not being perfect, so I render by slapping just enough lines of colour on my page to distinguish what things are or to fix proportions. (See: The Azula drawing attached, there’s not much of a difference between the linear burn layer drawing and the “rendered” drawing)
First of all foaming at the mouth abt ur zukka fanart, second, are sokkas scars just cool or do you have lore for them? I'd love to hear it if you do
I'm begging you
Thank you so much 🥹🥹🥹🫶🫶💕 I’m gonna be completely honest, for now it’s just because they look cool but there shall be lore (I have like half formed ideas in my head)
