hi, this is my intro post

im Moss, he/they/ae, 🔞, and i draw things!!

drawin requests are always open, just don't hold me to when they'll be published, bc i don't work very fast (i also cant guarantee i'll make them)

im in a lot of fandoms (dsmp, aftg, COD, DC, Marvel, etc), so the art u'll see will be varied

i use krita :)

my main account is @aetherealmoss (i follow n rb from there!!), im also on ao3 under the same name, and my dsmp account is @anarchylover (or i follow n rb from here if its dsmp related!!) :)

im not on twitter, or tiktok, or any other social media, so if u see my art any other place that isn't tumblr: that is not me

[ari-venus]

We drawin tonight (I am so tired.)

Anyways experimentation with a different art style because I found a cool chalk brush in Krita :D

This piece will also be posted on @hyperactivehyena-art ! Which is my (mostly unused) art blog!

[nightleaf001]

I posted this on my Facebook (only for irl friends and family) but I wanna post it here too, I got really into talking about  how I did the art process on my Neptune piece. This is only how I did one drawing, but I wanna share it because I think it’s so cool.

1. MS PAINT START

Pretty self explanitory. I get super perfectionist on other program so MS Paint is a good place to start because I lose my perfectionism there for some reason. I do my sketching, first lineart and first coloring there. Lumine’s lines are colored as you can see, and the coloring is sadly a but inconsistient with one spot being more red. Her eye lineart is also colored. 

2. MOVE TO KRITA

I basically trace over and recolor the ms paint drawin in krita, refining it and putting the coloring and lineart on different layers, I also put the eye’s coloring and lineart on it’s own pair of layers.

I also make adjustments to the expression, anatomy and design where I see fit. I was gonna add the darker color in the flower still but I actually just forgot about it. Her line color for her fur is now consistientm and her eye lineart, while still colored, is much darker, which in my opinion looks much better. I used Krita for the rest of this piece.

3. MAKING THE BACKGROUND PART 1

Pretty self explanitory, I begin my background. I expanded the canvas size and all of Lumine’s pieces in a group layer and moved it. Just basic blobs, but I ended up detailing the sky a bit. There is a loud brush on Krita, but I like how the watercolor brus looked more, I used a handful of layers to make it. 

3. MAKING THE BACKGROUND PART 2

Same thing kinda but more additions. I used a waves brush tool for most of the water, using a handful of layers to get the look I wanted but I thought the water looked too flat so I started adding more waves.  I also detailed the sky a bit more, and added grass.  I want to make an entire post about how I did the grass but I didn’t take screenshots. So stay tuned for that, next time I have a piece where grass is involved.  3. MAKING THE BACKGROUND PART 3

Not super important but I had this screenshot of more waves.  4. MY FAILED SHADING ATTEMPT

I struggled with the shading at first and my first idea was not good but I wanted to share it. I used a blue-grey color and used multiply for it, which is what I still do for my good shading.  It’s important to see that sometimes you have an attempt at something that doesn’t go well and you have to start over, this does not mean you’re a bad artist. You’re just human.  I also just cropped it so Lumine’s little bubble self underneath is no longer visible. I probably should have just moved her but that’s alright, we all make mistakes, and even finished pieces have errors. But thankfully this was a minor one and more down to my personal opinion. 

4. MY SECOND SHADING ATTEMPT

A lot simplier than my first try, this one was instantly better as a starting point. I just slapped the whole character with the blue-grey I used from before and then on a different layer grabbed a lighter shade of blue-grey and put the luminosity fliter over it. I put both layers over my lineart. She’s now starting to look like she belongs in this piece.  5. MORE SHADING AND RAIN

I added more shading which I think looks good, exact same method from before with the same shade of blue and the multiply tool, just less shaded.  I also added rain. There’s a dots tool on Krita so I used that to put in the rain and added motion blurr to varying degrees.  I didn’t take screenshots sadly but I added a layer underneath the water for the first rain, making the dots super tiny, and i made the motion blur on the very little. The second layer is over the water, slightly bigger with more motion blur, I made sure all drops were still going in the same direction.  And the last layer is in front of the water, bigger dots with more motion blur. I did this to hopefully give the illusion of depth.  6. MORE RAIN

I added rain in front of Lumine. And made her fur look wet by adding squiggily white lines, using the same shade I used for the rain, and adjusting the opacity. 

I probably could’ve added a few little dots in the wter to look lish splashes from the rain at this stage, but I forgot to.  7. SHADING, RAIN, AND EYES, OH MY

So I adjusted the opacity of my rain squiggilies (maybe a bit too much if you want my honest opinion) and put in highlighted rain bits.  I added more shading, first just a big gradient over it for a big shadow at low opacity, and then some more refined soft shadows. I also added some purple-red shaddows in some areas to add depth. The eyes are a bit complicated because I barely remeber what I did there, all O reember was using the blur tool and the luminosity filter a lot and using a good  handful of layers for the eyes and the tears. 8. OVERLAY AND BLUR HACKING

If you take away anything from this, use overlay and blur tools. I used a blue overlay for the whole piece. In fact, I used multiple overlay layers, one for lighting and two for everything else, it ended up being more blue than I intitially intended, but I like how it looks so not a problem.  I worried the background and it’s amount of details would overpower the focus od the peice, so I blurred everything in the background by a low amount. I think it worked but I’m still not entirely sure.

When you draw the cmc do you copy and paste their cutie marks or redraw them each time? They’re all super detailed I bet it’d take awhile, esp if it’s in a colored comic.

i mean so far ive just been redrawing em

like if u compare these to the other drawings ive done i havent rlly drawn em at an angle where you can see the full things (excrpt this first one obviously lol) but i do redraw em

i would have to redraw them every time anyway bc resizing and rotating shit in krita makes ur lines get scrunched in The worst way lmao

and anyway these designs are actually p simple for me to make so i rlly dont mind drawin em :P the most complex part is probably just the fire on scoots fndhfbg but if i was drawing them all in succession i would further simplify the designs like that top right sweetie belle one just like. for my own sanity lol
