This seems like something everyone should know if they’re in the sciences and/or interested in reading scientific papers.

Clothing folds!

I’ve been asked about it and I wanted to help as much as i can so here are just some pointers I hope are helpful- It’s important to know how the clothing fits on the character here are two extremes The source of the tention will send out a few ripples in the clothing! If the clothing is droopy, oversized maybe, then it acts kinda like a drape, and the curves of the body will be where it drapes from, looking like this-

Also The cloth also turns with us, it clings to our body, no matter how droopy (tho it’ll be affected less)

and heres another example for a shirt on a body with less curves than ive shown

there so muchh to cover on the topic! like types of fabrics, different postures etc etc, but im still a novice at it all  so i recommend trying to observe people or even fashion magazines for reference !

shading colour tips

hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty

rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD. 

red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple

orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red

yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach

green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal

blue- shade with purple

purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)

pink- darker shade of red

white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??

black- okay listen dont use pure black to colour anything unless you want to leave it with flat colours because you cant really shade black lol

grey- a slightly darker shade of purple or blue (less saturated)

brown- slightly darker and less saturated shade of purple or red

aaaaand thats all i got lol. let me know if there is anything i should add to this list!!

Hey guys got some cute stickers if your interested!

[lonelylunna]

Ok guys

Which story should I do first?

[kvebox]

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:
