Woke up at 2am and couldn’t fall back asleep so I made a tutorial on the Photoshop techniques I use most frequently. Starting with the sketch:

adjustment layers: specifically the hue/saturation slider in this case, allows you to color correct quickly

lasso tool: for sharp edges!

alpha lock: useful for painting within a pre-defined area (especially useful when painting characters)

x (hotkey) : toggle between foreground + background colors- let’s you easily blend between 2 colors

ctrl/cmd click : quickly change current active layer. Especially useful if you’re burdened with too many layers (or just very disorganized)

clipping mask: similar to alpha lock, but can add details without changing/ painting directly on the previous layer. I often use them to test out + apply gradients.

layer styles: I didn’t use any in this image, but the possibilities for layer styles endless, from simply adding a quick outline (useful for die cut demarcations when making stickers!) to creating more seemingly complex appearances. Here’s a gif of Nick Carver using layer styles (a combo of drop shadows + inner shadows) to quickly make the illusion of snow but with simple strokes.

ending on this:

Rewatching Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and there is a lot to dislike about Norrell, but damn if I don't feel for him going to his first fancy London party, trying to introvert with a book in peace when he is absolutely accosted by the absolute smarmiest extrovert on the premisis, so he nopes the fuck out immediately.

Hello! Are you still alive 😭😭

Hello! Yes is the short answer!

Long answer is a lot more complicated, but I am doing better lately, which is nice. I appreciate the message and check-in, it is nice to know someone was thinking of me ♥️

hi I am obsessed with the fic Head In The Clouds on AO3 by @cairdaswailes  because it is so good it firmly made me start shipping BoKuroo, and I fully intend to be a menace about it.

Mayor Lewis be like the only bus leading to and from our town is broken, the local farm is abandoned, the community center in ruins, the last museum curator ran away with everything we had, I can't provide housing for all my citizens, there's garbage everywhere, but if my relationship with Marnie becomes public my political career might suffer :/
