How do you get that 3D-ish effect in your art (It’s so cool, and really makes the colors pop)
Oh well, Everything is purely playing with colors and there is no technique as such But...
Here, Little tutorial:
Starring: White Apple
Tumblr media
First, we have our sketch, And it's time to paint it.
What I usually do is use the watercolor brush, I paint with this brush for everything (Maybe because it's the only brush I know how to use)
1. We use the watercolor brush and paint with small dots, We use bright colors as this helps with the colorful effect.
A little advice: paint with all the colors you can but always keeping the main color. Blue is a good shade.
2. Now blend it, with more color dots, Shape it with Paint.
3. When you think you have a firm base, Is time to make The Shadows: Use the black pencil brush and set it to 6 opacity, use it to darken the areas where the shadow is strongest.
Imagine that you are carving a wooden figure or making a sculpture, use that black brush as many times as you think necessary and try to give shape to the object.
Tumblr media
Now You get it!
The texture you will get is somewhat square and funny, I like it, but it is still too early to leave it like that.
4. We mix again, we use some bright colors in the mix to lighten a little, since black can leave the colors somewhat opaque.
5. It's time to put up lights, to do so we will use bright colors like light blue and yellow. Remember that everything is with dots.
That colorful style comes from placing the bright blue and pink at random, you can do it too if you want, but where to place it is by instinct
6. Now my favorite part: If you think your drawing still looks dark, use the luminous filter to lighten it. This way you get a very bright image of your drawing, export it as a transparent photo
This part is more redundant, but it will give more brightness to the drawing if you need it.
7. Now we have two images, the original and the shiny one, we put the original on top of the shiny one. And now, using the eraser with the opacity at 10% we will erase the image, revealing the luminosity under it. We will erase how much light we need.
Tumblr media
Since we have two images, we are going to export it as a only one.
8. We are already reaching the end, all that remains is to blend a little again, lighten and darken where necessary.
We erase the excesses and retouch and...
Tumblr media
We have an apple!
I'm not lying when I say that I like more how messy it looks in the first phases, but sometimes you have to clean it so that it looks good with everything together.
Sorry if this answer is long, I got a little excited.

We ascribe ourselves to a religion that taught us the sacredness of waiting. To wait for the prayer, is a prayer in itself...

There are people – some in my own Party – who think that if you just give Donald Trump everything he wants, he’ll make an exception and spare you some of the harm. I’ll ignore the moral abdication of that position for just a second to say — almost none of those people have the experience with this President that I do. I once swallowed my pride to offer him what he values most — public praise on the Sunday news shows — in return for ventilators and N95 masks during the worst of the pandemic. We made a deal. And it turns out his promises were as broken as the BIPAP machines he sent us instead of ventilators. Going along to get along does not work – just ask the Trump-fearing red state Governors who are dealing with the same cuts that we are. I won’t be fooled twice.
I’ve been reflecting, these past four weeks, on two important parts of my life: my work helping to build the Illinois Holocaust Museum and the two times I’ve had the privilege of reciting the oath of office for Illinois Governor.
As some of you know, Skokie, Illinois once had one of the largest populations of Holocaust survivors anywhere in the world. In 1978, Nazis decided they wanted to march there.
The leaders of that march knew that the images of Swastika clad young men goose stepping down a peaceful suburban street would terrorize the local Jewish population – so many of whom had never recovered from their time in German concentration camps.
The prospect of that march sparked a legal fight that went all the way to the Supreme Court. It was a Jewish lawyer from the ACLU who argued the case for the Nazis – contending that even the most hateful of speech was protected under the first amendment.
As an American and a Jew, I find it difficult to resolve my feelings around that Supreme Court case – but I am grateful that the prospect of Nazis marching in their streets spurred the survivors and other Skokie residents to act. They joined together to form the Holocaust Memorial Foundation and built the first Illinois Holocaust Museum in a storefront in 1981 – a small but important forerunner to the one I helped build thirty years later.
I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly. But I know the history intimately — and have spent more time than probably anyone in this room with people who survived the Holocaust. Here’s what I’ve learned – the root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed – a seed of distrust and hate and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.
I’m watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. A president who watches a plane go down in the Potomac – and suggests — without facts or findings — that a diversity hire is responsible for the crash. Or the Missouri Attorney General who just sued Starbucks – arguing that consumers pay higher prices for their coffee because the baristas are too “female” and “nonwhite.” The authoritarian playbook is laid bare here: They point to a group of people who don’t look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems.
I just have one question: What comes next? After we’ve discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities – once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends – After that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face – what comes next.
All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.
I swore the following oath on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible: “I do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the state of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor .... according to the best of my ability.
My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.
If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this:
It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.
Those Illinois Nazis did end up holding their march in 1978 – just not in Skokie. After all the blowback from the case, they decided to march in Chicago instead. Only twenty of them showed up. But 2000 people came to counter protest. The Chicago Tribune reported that day that the “rally sputtered to an unspectacular end after ten minutes.” It was Illinoisans who smothered those embers before they could burn into a flame.
Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let the “tragic spirit of despair” overcome us when our country needs us the most.
