wait this sketch was cute

hello habs! i saw you responded to an ask about colouring and it reminded me that i’ve been meaning to ask you advice about something if you don’t mind!

can you explain how you draw real people? you style is really cool, i can immediately tell who you’re drawing. i’m getting kindaaa decent at art but drawing real people in a stylized way is what i struggle the most, they just look nothing life the ref

thank you in advance!! i hope you’re having a great day!! go fishing and stuff

I'll be so real, drawing real life people is usually my least favourite activity, I get very uncomfortable looking at photos of people for extended periods of time. Having to look at ryan gosling's face for longer than 5 seconds gives me hives. Yet I persevere.

This is kind of my process when I first start drawing someone from live action, I start with realistic studies to get down features, from that exploration, I figure out what makes them distinct. Mr gosling has very distinct eyes and nose, so I latch onto that and do more studies but instead of fully trying to capture everything, I go off vibes. Then more and more vibes until I no longer have to look at his face.

I don't have the original studies I did for grace cause I deleted that shit but I do have the ones for carl!

#ask #art tips #actually if you go through my art tip tag I've answered something similar before which might be more helpful than this answer #I did a little doechii study

do you have any tips on how you colour or how to learn? ive just come across some of your art and the colours are gorgeous! sorry if youve already had a question like this </3 ive only just discovered your account

I think I've talked about it before but I'm happy to talk about it again! For learning, personally studying from other artists was the most helpful when learning colour theory and trying to get better with colour palettes/lighting! I also like doing studies based on photos, I have a pinterest board dedicated to photos with fun lighting for inspiration

The way I colour specifically is pretty loose and painterly, I did a lot of painting before I got into digital art so I use similar methods to how I worked as a traditional artist!

I made a little timelapse to show how I work, I start with filling everything in with one colour and work in sections to fill out and render skin, hair, clothes, etc! Then I set the sketch layer as a multiply layer, colour the lineart and add any final details.

The brush I use does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to colour choice, I mainly use the tiger brush pack brushes from the csp asset store, they're soft and have a lot of hue variation which helps me add colours to my work I might've not thought to add otherwise!

Other little colouring notes:

I try to avoid purely white eyes! Nobody has entirely white sclera and I've found it can look scary in art especially if the rest is fairly well rendered lol

For shadows and highlights, I don't just change the value but also the hue! How I change it depends on the piece but because I like colouring warmer toned stuff, generally I go for warmer shadows. Lots of reds and oranges!

I also really like adding reflective light! Super easy way to do it is to take your drawing, draw some blue (or whatever colour you want) in it, colour pick from that, and then add it where it feels right! Maybe doesn't always make sense but I think it looks good and I like doing it lol

I hope this all made sense and answered your question properly! :'D

i keep laughing at the way that eridian culture in the movie and eridian culture in the book are not contradictory at all, if you accept that movie rocky is just a total FREAK

grace: boy i sure can't wait to meet other eridians haha! rocky, putting on a shirt for the first time in four years: rocky has something to tell grace but does grace promise not to be mad, question?
