#⚖ - tutorial

[broken-dollhouse]

i really like the flags on the sp inspo you've shared so i was wonderin if you'd be willing to do a tutorial on how to make them or if you had a base template that you'd be comfortable sharing? [ loooove ur sp inspo btw , its so pretty ]

We are considering releasing a base for simple flags tho we haven't gotten there yet , but I did make a quicker tutorial for how we make ours ^^ Hopefully it makes sense , we don't have a good sense of making tutorials Flag featured ; Monstrosity by @winecovered [sorry if you didn't want a ping ^^]

Heres how it looks if you wanted to see!

As a note before we begin , I use paint tool sai on pc but this will work for other programs I am 99% sure! Hopefully this is understandable! We aren't good with tutorials and can reclarify anything needed Images are all below the cut just due to how many there are

We usually use a 99 x 57 canvas [this time it was 98 x 56 so it wasn't a weird offset] but any rectangle works , or square if you want that. We use a high dpi / ppi just because thats what we use when we draw and just don't change it

Simple rectangle to start , this one is 3 pixels from the edge [2 pixels technically with the 3rd being where the lines start]

Can't forget the shine! We add this on a layer under the frame for simplicity in changing settings [note; I did change the blending mode and opacity later lol!] , we use a thicker line and a thinner one but honestly its all preference

Sparkles come after , we do these by simply randomly dotting some pixels about in white then we use a very light grey for the ones we want to make into larger shines

Optional frame decor , if you want it to not have weird spacing definately use an even numbered canvas , I just went simple as a showcase

Sometimes we add a small shadow to the inner most line of the border if we worry the flag blends too harshly

Final layer set up with the settings we used for this specific one ^^ If you wanted to add layer bases for the stripes , I always suggest using pre existing bases such as this one from crowdsourcedgender
