Edit: I originally posted this on Amino, but this will be here for anyone that needs it.
Hello, everyone. Today I’m going to talk about the basics of manga coloring. The app I’m using is Ibis Paint, but this can work for almost every drawing app. (More below the line.)
First, you gotta set the manga panel layer to multiply, because that will allow you to color over the WHITE parts. See below.
ㅤAfter doing that, make a layer under the manga panel layer. That will be the layer you’ll color on.
See? The green didn’t cover the black at all, ONLY the white.
If you want to color the BLACK parts of a panel, make a layer above the manga panel layer and set the new layer to “Lighten”
The color is lighter than black, so that’s why you use lighten.
Thats basically all you need to know, but I’ll include an extra part.
Say you colored the hair of a character, but wanted to shade it as well. If you shade on the same layer as the color, that could cause a problem if you want to erase part of it in the future. Instead, do this:
Make a layer ABOVE the hair color layer and set the new layer to clipping (the blue down arrow beside the lock).
As you can see, the purple only appeared in the blonde part.
Anyway, I accidentally saved the image before adding lipstick. If you make the same mistake as me one day, just make a layer above the image you accidentally saved and set it to darken.
(I only set it to darken because the lips were darker than the skin color).
Notice how the black line didn’t get colored since no color is darker than black.
…
Heres a pop quiz, if the background is white and I want to change the color of it, what should I do?
If you said make a new layer and set it to “Darken”, then you’re right. Every color is darker than white so that’s why.
Alright, if you somehow made it to the end of this scroll-fest then I challenge you to make a manga coloring of your own. Bye!
(Originally, I posted this on Amino, but after the latest chapter I just want to spread my appreciation for Titi on here too. There’s more below the line.)
In Centuria, there’s a character named Titi. I never really found her interesting.
After one of her family members died, she said this (the image below) and I lowkey thought the author forgot she said this because she STILL never did anything.
But then…this happened.
Titi knew she couldn’t beat him (a guy I didn’t show yet). She knew that unlike most of the characters in this manga, she didn’t have a gift/power and had no way of beating him. And yet she still stood against him.
I genuinely got chills at this scene. Titi went from a character that I couldn’t care less about to someone that I wanted to see more of.
And the antagonist (Altus) just stood there in shock, shocked that this random person whom he knew nothing about wanted to hurt him.
And then Julian came and saved the day so now we have no idea if she would’ve landed the hit or not. 🗿
But if he didn’t come she probably would’ve died so I’m not that mad.
.
It’s just sad because she always sees her family get hurt and she wants to help but never gets to.
But with her resolve, I’m sure she’ll do something in the future, and I just know that it’ll be a great moment. (Author, please I beg you.)
Ok bye. (I made this V before Altus beat the sorceresses up 😔✋)
This wasn’t even an analysis, but someone on Amino liked it and wanted me to analyze the whole manga but they sadly deleted the app before I could respond to them.
I don’t even have a title for this bruh. This was inspired by a meme but I never saw the original.
Other ver.
More stuff V
Random art time, go!
Anyways, I have a question. If I told you guys that I shipped Elise with Roche ever since they showed up because I knew that Elise was an adult and I think that she just has a condition that makes her stay short, would y’all be mad or did I get her age wrong? 🥲
I don’t have an artstyle. (Why is the quality bad?)
I think she’s Berta since when I think of triangles, I think of the color yellow and yellow is the color of light. And the manga said “Berta the Radiant Witch”. And what do people associate radiance with? Light. Anyways, if I’m wrong I’m going to delete my account, so that’ll make things fun, I guess.
Drew Sorceress #4 as Hex Maniac since someone said she looked like her, but I had to make another version since it just looked like Hex and not someone cosplaying as her. 💀
Other cosplay thing because why not. (It’s the executioner and the queen if you can’t tell who they are.)
Ok, time to crawl back into my hole and disappear for a whole year again.
It’s low quality because I accidentally drew bigger than the boxes.
It’s funny (sad) how Arkos and Lacrima used to be my favorite characters but I had no idea where to put them.
.
I was going to put The Sea as my favorite design but forgot. Also, look at this good reaction image.
