Hir eyes are closed and ze looks cheerful as ze holds up a brick in hir left hand. The background is white and the lineart is mostly black, with the brick being the only thing in outlined in color. The brick is a dark red. /end ID]

Like I said, I want to draw everyone that shows up at least once in Color Theory, and I'm trying to find a good simple style so I can draw them faster, so doodly doos it is.

can I ask a question?

how do you render your art? like you make it feel doodly but clean at the same time

hope you have a nice day

Thank you! I like to think my art style is an organized mess! It's cause I've leaned more to a certain digital painting style where I don't have to rely on making clean lineart as I can just render it all instantly. Here's my work progress:

I use a marker brush on Firealpaca (One of the drawing programs I use, the other being medibang for the comic), it's on a soft pen pressure setting 0.20 (soft) and with opacity by pressure on so it has a soft feel along with no sharp edges so that I can focus on anatomy structure calmly.

The lineart process is simple, not wanting to go overboard besides drawing the important stuff. The imperfections can be altered later.

Then, I color it. A base layer is really for the main colors, if I wanna put shading then I separate each color by clipping layers so I can shade them individually but for this example, I won't dive too deep into it besides that I don't use any watercolor brushes besides- well, Dp-flat is like a watercolor brush/blending brush but it has a strong texture that I like. I prefer to shade manually with airbrush, dp-flat brush, and a makrer brush (opacity on).

And we got rendering!!! I Spend a lot on rendering as it's fun- especially for smaller pieces! I often use a marker brush but with a different pen pressure (normal, 1.00) so it has a sort of sharper end so I can also add faint brush strokes/lineart to give it a solid look. I use the color picker a lot to overpaint some specific lines and colors while also using the brush as an eraser to shape/sculpt the form!

I've got more examples for my more finished works to show how noticeable the results are regarding how I render! I like to experiment from time to time

the fact that all my simple doodly arcades look more like him than the actual attempt at his face 🙏

LIKE ITS CLOSE BUT this is the best I gottttt RAGGHGHH

Art example 1

Art example 2 (it would be finished if it was a commission obviously)

Art example 3 (a more simple and doodly piece, would obviously be cheaper than something stylized like the above artworks)

I AM WILLING TO DRAW MORE THAN JUST MUPPETS AND MY USUAL FANDOM WORK!!!!! I’ll elaborate in a proper post if this gains any traction but uhm just know for future reference I can’t afford to be picky right now

heyyyy, can i ask what tools/softwares you ise to do your digital art?

hi sorry for the late response! but to keep it simple:

i use krita! it's completely free and i just find it quite neat in general

as for brushes, i have downloaded a bunch from krita's resources

the main doodle/lineart brush i use is from this bundle, specifically this one:

mine is highly modified tho, basically i made it less doodly looking so it would look kinda like adoble flash's main brush (i might share it someday who knows)

i also use ms paint quite a bit, i really don't know why i use it so often but i will defend it to death,it's so interesting to use. i also instead of the default pen i use the eraser to draw, cause it's square shaqped and therefore superior >:3 (in my irrelevant biased opinion)

AND THAT'S KINDA IT! i sometimes apply textures with photopea (free online photoshop clone) and i also own a copy of clip studio paint but i barely use it anymore so uhhhh shrug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

and yeah that's it i guess again sorry for the late reply i am extremely socially inept and it takes me ages to answer stuff in general

mildly more alive after a nasty bout of illness and feeling a little doodly, if you have any ideas for cute simple doodles let me know I might doodle them

[yonpote]

I just saw your recent art of dnp, with Dan's knife and Phil's wound (beautiful drawing btw) and I just wanted to say, as someone who's been following you for a while, it's amazing seeing how much you've developed as an artist! u are so talented!!!

aw thats so sweet ;-; thank uu that means a lot i sometimes feel like im slipping in art cuz i dont draw as much lately and i used to draw intentionally w a very simple doodly style lol but fanks TT

[crawlingalien]
