Do you find drawing environments overwhelming? I did too, for a really long time. I started out drawing characters, and making the switch to painting environments was really hard at first! In my latest patreon tutorial, I break down the process into the most basic and essential steps, so that you don’t get lost in the details and know exactly what to focus on. Find it here for just $5: patreon.com/loish

PNG Opacity Tutorial! (Click on the images)
This art trick works really well on tumblr because transparent areas default to white until selected (except for dark mode, rip). Unfortunately this trick doesn’t work on Twitter >:/ Something I learned while making this was that .png’s hate hard edges! Putting a soft blur around text and hard lines will help prevent it from showing those little artifact borders and spoiling your surprise!
