Spitzy's Art

Where I post art that's not Spitfire. Ask Filly Spitfire My OC Ask Blog DeviantArt

[norisus]

I said that I’d show some tutorials I have saved up to someone, but decided that I’d just go ahead and post most of what I have stored away and create a sort of masterpost out of it. (I figure it’ll help me just as much since, as of now, they’re all pretty scattered between my Tumblr and bookmarks)

A lot of these are hosted on my personal Tumblr, but I don’t change my url so it’s pretty safe to bookmark them there (and not have to worry about the url changing) if you don’t wish to reblog them yourself for whatever reason.

COLOR PALETTE MASTERPOST by forbiddenforest

So today I felt like sharing some useful websites that provide pre-made color palettes (left side), as well as sites that allow you to create custom ones (right side). They can be used for graphic design, themes, art, interior design, or just something pretty to look at.

Adobe Kuler (Explore)

Chromaa

Color-Collective

Just Jaimee Daily Color Inspiration

Design Seeds

Adobe Kuler (Create)

Color Scheme Designer

Color Palette Generator (paste the URL of an image and it will automatically generate a pallet that matches the image)

Color Hunter (upload an image and it will automatically generate a pallet that matches the image)

I hope you find this useful (and please like or reblog if you did)! Enjoy :)

Any advice for people feeling unmotivated to draw?

Art prompts! This is a good site for them. They don’t have to be good or finished pictures, doodles and scribbles are fine, the whole point is to just get drawing again!

(More advice: do it even if you don’t feel inspired by the prompt. That’s okay — you’re not looking to make a masterpiece, you don’t have to show anyone, you can delete or burn it once you’re done if you want. Don’t just sit there and click through until you get one you like, because I tell you from experience that you’ll be there forever and never end up drawing anything. :T)

[s1mpl3sp0ng3]

gah i’m so sorry this isn’t that good but it was the best one i had out of all the little doodles i did of her.

AGGHGHHGHGHFFGFH THIS IS ADORABLE THANK YOU???

A little doodle of a cute oc

[gawki]

This is a pretty basic one, but that doesn’t make it any less important to know! I hope it helps.  …

[nightcreepx]

when you color a pencil sketch digitally, do you just use transparent colors over the pencil or do you have a way of separating the lines from the rest of the picture?

I make the pencil sketch a multiply layer.

[tincyan]

for the anon who asked about how i choose colors! 

not really a tutorial but..

[monoscribbles]

Wow making tutorials is harder than I thought… In any case, I hope it helps!
