still figuring out how krita works, the pastel brushes kind of fuck

been doing some plein aire painting while i'm in europe.

I'm so sad, right when i was finishing up the mountain one, i turn my head and notice that a bee is stinging me as slowly as possible, so i decided that was a sign from nature to stop painting, but my sketchbook was still a bit wet, so the white spots are where the pages of my sketchbook got stuck together.

some landscape studies to melt my brain

i spent a few hours on the street car, 15 min on the bridge over the river, and 10 min each on the grassy field and the snow

Woah, fan comic adaptation?

part of my fancomic Not A Messenger was adapted -- with permission of course -- into a very high effort fan dub/motion comic of The Search!

my comic is around 38:20, u should check out the whole thing if u can! the pacing feels like the OG show. the team did a great job! :)

thanks again to everyone who worked on this! (the voices are pretty much how i imagined them in my head when i was writing my fan comic, lol) thanks to @prying-pandora666 for reaching out to me

You can check out Not A Messenger on Tumblr, Webtoon, Ao3, Tapas, or ComicFury.

⭐ Pixel Art Fundamentals - Hue Shifting

This technique is not uniquely specific to pixel art, but it's a very common term to hear when starting out watching those "dos and don'ts" videos. So what is hue shifting?

Hue shifting basically means to change the hue when making your shade darker or lighter. In this context, 'hue' = colour!

You may hear 'you need to hue shift more' when getting feedback on your art, but what does that mean really? Here are some examples:

We can see even with just a bit of hue shifting, we have quite a different vibe for each drawing. In warm / daylight settings, no hue shifting can sometimes look a bit muddy or grey.

If we swap the image to grayscale, you can see that they look much the same:

As long as the hue shifted colours have a brightness that makes sense, they usually will work. You can get quite wacky with it.

But is hue shifting always good? Not necessarily.

Below is some of my art where I intentionally didn't hue-shift at all. You can see it gives them an uncanny, digital, or photographic kind of look. As always, techniques are about your intention, or personal style.

I recommend trying different hue shifting methods! I especially love to use a cool blue or teal for the lighter shades.

Thanks for reading and I hope this helped a little! Have fun with it!!

omg, finally finished part ii! this comic is about to surpass my last atla fancomic in length. part iii is gonna take place on the ferry to ba sing se and be zuko- and jet-centric. still thinking of a title (i talked myself into titling each part with a single word that starts with S that loosely fits the thematics)

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:
