#For those who are wondering I use Ibis Paint and Clip Studio to draw

[vioyume]

Got Breaking Benjamin on the brain, and I also wanted to draw a pretty bird!

Speedpaint and no text version undercut:

hii, sorry to bother but i absolutely adore your art and i was wondering what program and brushes you use to make the "cg art" i guess? like, the ones that look like cgs from the game!! its so gorgeous!!

Oii sweetie! Don't apologize, you're welcome and ask is always open for talks, headcanons or questions! I hope you are patient and enjoy reading, because I want to be much more detailed! 💕💕

Initially, I'm going to go for the main thing that's the program! I draw on my phone because I do not have tablet or computer, and this information is very important because MANY things are limited and different from the smartphone compared to computers and tablets!

Program/App I use:

This is the app I use! (Need to update actually)

ibis PaintX is a great tool for digital arts and illustrations! ALL my arts and drawings I do in this app because, among the other drawing apps, in my opinion this is the best and what I'm used to the most!

However, it is not my favorite!! Some brushes do not act in a very "soft" way or something I do does not leave my drawings very professional, so I think in quality it leaves to crave a little! If you can pay, choose Clip Studio Paint instead! It is really professional and along with Photoshop, are the best for any digital art. Clip Studio Paint was made more for art, manga, poses, more anime-oriented!

There are many paid functions and as I am still a student (and i don't get all my parents' money) I can't afford it! But if you can, invest!!!!

The style painting I follow:

It is important to take into account the style of painting that I follow and i am inspired to paint my cg comissions, because they have a big difference between them that influence rather in the choice of brushes. If I'm not mistaken, was there an exchange of illustrators after HDB? Satoi who originally designed it and from More Blood the cgs adopted another style of painting, look at the example below:

Hauted Dark Bridal // Chaos Lineage

See how this greatly influences the brushes, as they are and have different textures! Notice the difference in atmosphere too, isn't it different?!

I use the HDB painting style because it looks more deeper, with more contrast and this beautiful glow around the edges 🥴💜 But it's just my preference okay? I've been saying since you've been looking for my influence!

The line always gave this more watery look, so here comes the watercolor brushes!

Diabolik lovers, although changing the style, always handled the water brushes always with great dexterity in their designs. What I really appreciate so 💜 I'll leave here a picture with the brushes I use, all being water or watercolor! Some more softs and Airs, others harder and with striking edges:

( The appl was in PT-BR and I did not find how to change to ENG, so I hope you find them! 💭😅)

The App also has texture options for papers and watercolor papers but I DON'T use them.

How do I paint?

I'll leave here a mini tutorial very basic of how I do to paint and mix all that paint! For this, I made a drawing somewhat simple and disproportionate kkk but what counts is a new perspective for you to understand!

For the lineart I use the Drawing Pen! The pen pattern for most common lineart, a more uniform and solid stroke for your drawings.

When I finish the lineart, I move on to the painting step! And before using all those water brushes, I first paint the design with the Hard Pen to give a base color and create a better harmony afterwards, because the watercolor and water brushes themselves are kind of transparent and need a base to harmonize much better with art!

See that the base color gave a good start to the water brushes. The skin is already ready with the water brushes and with a water more Air I gave that smoky aspect on the neck, to give a more vivid /real skin contrast and take the pallor. To paint the shadow of the neck I also used the Hard Pen, because the watercolor of ibis PaintX has very hard edges, so I turned on the Alpha Lock on the layer and painted with the brush inside; to give that watercolor look but not get that rigid edge.

When I finished the skin I went to the details of the hair. It looks less like my cgs because there aren't as many details on the strands and hair, but the brushes are always the same. Sometimes I use the Hard Pen for contrast and shadows, sometimes I use watercolor, sometimes I use water brush, anyway; always switching to one that I think makes it better.

These were the brushes I used to paint and finish the illustration:

I point out here at the end that I'm not satisfied with my art, and that I still think there's more quality missing and in the brushes of ibis PaintX. It's not one of my favorites but I feel like it's one of the only ones I've been able to adapt to and like more, maybe I'll do another tutorial in the future.

Even if you asked me about the brushes and my handling of each of them, you have the total free pass to paint as and in the order you want ❤️❤️ even if they are the same brushes the art may end up not getting equal, because each of us have our own unique styles and wills! Paint as you see best! ❤️❤️💜💜💜

Thank you for the ask, I wish I had posted more photos but I reached the limit, so I hope I helped with these images I put sweetie!!
