Welcome to the Whimsical world

18, fr. Hi, I'm an animation student. I very rarely use my tumblr, but I thought I would post my Efteling art on here, because that's where the rest of the community seems to be at ! To see my art, here's my Insta : @drcookie_

Hi ! I finally got around to posting my Symbolica fanarts. And since I have way too much time to waste (or rather that I prefer to imagine whole HeadCanons about fandoms no one cares about instead of sleeping) most of my Symbolica fanarts feature some of my HCs.

So, on the left and in the middle we've got some quick sketches of some casual outfits Pardoes and Polle might wear outside of work (the anachronisms are voluntary, no worries), and on the right we've got Polle turned human by Pardoes.

This one is motivated by the fact that, as far as we know, Polle is insecure about his pointed ears and red hair in the canon. And I can easily imagine Pardoes using his magic to try and make his best friend feel better about himself by getting rid of what he thinks are flaws.

And a last, but rather important, thing about my HC is that Pardoes is also a fae, just like Polle, Pentagor or Aliciana. And humans can not use magic.

Okay, that's all for today, I hope you like that quick doodle :^)

A personal reminder to post my fanart on Tumblr

Hi ! I’m but a humble artist who happens to love themepark history and lore. I discovered Efteling about a month ago and I’ve been making fanart of the original Efteling characters (mainly the ones staring in Symbolica) and I am also working on a cosplay of Pardoes ! Since the community seems to be more present on Tumblr, I decided to put my art here.

If you wanna see my Efteling art and cosplay as I make them, I’d suggest following me @camerousse_ on IG and checking regularly my stories ! 

Anyway, if you’d like to chat about the Efteling and Pardoes and cie, you can message me, and I’d be happy to !

Woke up at 2am and couldn’t fall back asleep so I made a tutorial on the Photoshop techniques I use most frequently. Starting with the sketch:

adjustment layers: specifically the hue/saturation slider in this case, allows you to color correct quickly

lasso tool: for sharp edges!

alpha lock: useful for painting within a pre-defined area (especially useful when painting characters)

x (hotkey) : toggle between foreground + background colors- let’s you easily blend between 2 colors

ctrl/cmd click : quickly change current active layer. Especially useful if you’re burdened with too many layers (or just very disorganized)

clipping mask: similar to alpha lock, but can add details without changing/ painting directly on the previous layer. I often use them to test out + apply gradients.

layer styles: I didn’t use any in this image, but the possibilities for layer styles endless, from simply adding a quick outline (useful for die cut demarcations when making stickers!) to creating more seemingly complex appearances. Here’s a gif of Nick Carver using layer styles (a combo of drop shadows + inner shadows) to quickly make the illusion of snow but with simple strokes.

ending on this:

Amazing tuto. I'll have to keep that in mind next time I buy a tablet.
