The Great Outdoors! I can imagine Chang and Tintin going on camping or hiking trips for dates. While they love exploring museums and flea markets, in the woods they can avoid public scrutiny.
I've just been in the mood for drawing in ink and also doing long walks outside. These are inked traditionally and coloured digitally.
do you pencil traditionally and then colour digitally, or do you just have a very convincing digital pencil brush? I really love the organic, sketchy feel of your work.
I always sketch and ink on paper first, then scan the piece and color it digitally.
I've been getting into inking traditionally again, so I've been studying the techniques of pros. This is an ink on paper study of Mike Mignola's style/inks and an attempt to mimic the style w/ Raph. Colours added digitally, also mimicking Hellboy's colourist, Dave Stewart.
What’s generally your art creation process like? Ngl I thought you did most of ur art all digitally
Actually, during my mini hiatus I lost the touch to draw lineart digitally and it really made me sad. But then I found that I enjoy drawing my linework traditionally and then suddenly my drive was back!
So yes this is a very recent development in my process. I line traditionally, I colour digitally.
Step 1: Scan
Step 2: Slay
I often use india ink for clean linework, and a normal black ballpoint for sketchy lines.
Open your... Erm... Engine? Sorry guys I can't make a funny enough joke 😔
Wips + alt + ramble under cut
METAL SONIC RAHHHHHH he is my favourite sonic character, tied with E-102 Gamma. Which is a bit funny to me because I'm not usually super into robots. Just a strange coincidence this happened with this series.
Anywho! This was a relatively easy piece, but I had a lot of fun with it. Never tried to render metal before, but I think the airbrush here worked out pretty nicely actually! As usual the sketch and lineart were done traditionally, lineart was scanned in and cleaned up, and then the colouring and shading in digital. The background is just the SA1 background, just googled that and stuck it on here lol. First image here is without the background, second image is of the inked lineart (I forgot to get a pic of the sketch and flat colour stage, my bad gang)
hi @flinxypie i'm your Valentine Secret Santa! Secret Valentine? Secret Cupid? all of those!

Happy Valentines, friends! know that you are loved dearly by your loved ones and these silly jesters!
and if you wanna read the frame-by-frame break down, i've compiled it into a google doc this time (because there's too many images for 1 Tumblr post). it's a lot less heavy this time as i went more by fun and energy, but there are still some parallels and things to note, so if you're curious: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18zydwGFFRJyHTvkG7MDqPI8GphUzzFzGsFCt6diFrsk/edit?usp=sharing
Do you think there's any meaning behind the fact that hanataka's kids' hair colours were slightly changed since their debut, moreso the middle kid, who used to have the same hair colour as hanataka, but now has noticeably lighter hair?
the color page is easy to explain. there's an overlay layer over it that looks kinda like this that's a bit too strong (i know a warm color overlay layer when i smell one......especially with the yellow where you want to draw the sight line to....)
wow they actually show up a lot huh
so for ch11, i believe sensei was using physical screentones (and the other 4 were done digitally) (but the color honestly isnt that different from their other appearances lol)
but even in ch 11 his hair was noticably lighter than hatanaka, since it uses screentones and hatanaka's hair is inked in
(btw this is also why there's a lot more insane flower bg screentone usage and haru had more insane tie designs pre-vol 5, bc that's when she switched to digital, i'll bet those were just screentone sheets she had lying around)
(btw btw, the way u can tell if a chapter was drawn traditionally is by zooming right in on the panel borders, you can see if there's ink spatter and imperfections from the pen. sensei uses clip studio now which can just make perfectly smooth panel borders)
there's actually also a pretty simple reason it looks like they have the same hair color in ch 109 if you look at the full panel
because its a flashback (well not a flashback, a video, but its not happening in the present time YOU GET THE IDEA) it has a limited palette, besides black and white, there's only 2 different screentones, the lighter one used for lil bro 2 and the shadow on ibaras apron, and the darker one for her shirt and the other 2 kids hair (plus a 3rd one for the background glow)
this has been art lesson with ur local translator thank u
I always start on paper and ink traditionally with fine-liner markers. After that I take it into an editing software and clean up the line art. If I’m adding colour then that is done digitally.
