Some insane ramblings @lyra-doodles - Tumblr Blog

Intro Post!

. My name is Lyra

. I'm a British Teenage girl

. This is the sideblog to my cringefail fandom main blog

. This is mostly for art but I am prone to yapping

. Basic dnis 😋

. I don't take commissions sorry :( - (I feel weirdly egotistical putting this in the description, but I have gotten comments before about it so better safe than sorry...?)

#Intro post #Sideblog #Lyra talks to herself

Dont get me wrong, art GCSE was an amazing choice, but oh my word they do not leave you any time to do any personal projects 😭😭

I've had an unfinished Pennywise painting for literal months now, I started it in November :')

#He sits and stares at me #Maybe I'll share it unfinished lol

@interstitiallacunae hello! It's me lol, umm I guess I'll just send you the post on my main???

Anyone else who sees this, please just ignore it!!

And what if I said I actually have done more scrapbook pages I just haven't been bothered to post them yet

#I say more #I mean three #And I did them in the summer this isn't recent #But still #Three I haven't posted #One is little miss sunshine so I should get on that asap

i'd like to add that the shadow color isnt necessarily dictated entirely by the primary light source, but the bounce light! so for the example of a sunny environment, the reason the shadows are blue are because of the light from the blue sky reflects across the environment; but, if the character were to be under tree cover, the bounce light would be coming from the leaves and thus the shadow would look greener.

Yee yee!!! You got it right on the nose!

Bounce light is something I didn't cover but I adore it!

Gotta work on my bounce light 💪

James Gurney is an absolute master and gives really good clarity on colour techniques. Yes, it is traditional paint focused, but the principles are the same. Yes it is informed by the environmental colour but as a painting technique it is achieved this way!

I would also suggest that in digital processing, rather than apply a regular colour layer at a mid opacity, try out the different types of layers, Eg. Screen or Multiply. This can give you at least a starting point to help direct your colour palette.

Layer Blend Modes are so so so important to working in digital art. There's a ton of math that goes into figuring out how the layers should blend together, which is why some of the modes you can pick are literally called Multiply, Add, Divide, and Difference (that's subtraction). The graphics software takes the color values of your base and blend layers and runs a calculation to get your resulting layer appearance. The ones that don't have specifically mathematical sounding names are still doing calculations, but they're more complicated (think linear Algebra and higher). Some of them, like dodge and burn, are named for actual photo editing techniques.

While it's not super important to know about the mathematical side of blend modes, I think it's worth knowing at least enough about how each of the categories of blend modes works and why they do what they do; if for no other reason than having a starting point when you start experimenting with them in your work.

An overview of the basic blend modes and how they work from Genevieve's Design Studio: Accessible with minimal color knowledge; practical and illustration focused. https://youtu.be/kMc87hQrJd0?si=TWCB365pKSfWS8p0. (16 minutes) This creator also has a ton of free resources you can download, including a Blend Modes cheatsheet, but fair warning: you have to create an account to get them!

Want to learn even more about the math-y stuff? It has great film visuals! A video from FilmmakerIQ: You need some basic knowledge of RGB color models, understanding of values/luma, and at least a tenuous understanding of Algebraic formulas.

Okay just realising that some people purely follow me on this account (why, I have no clue because it is very abandoned) but my main cringefail loser fandom blog is @we-should-go-crazy-together

I'm mostly getting irritated over the end of stranger things rn but I'll get back to my normal nonsense soon enough lmao

#Lyra talks to herself #I'll probably post more art soon #...probably

Third entry in the film scrapbook! Had a lot to day about this one lmao

Lyra posting another post with ASS lighting? More likely then you'd think.

Second film entry in the film scrapbook, now it's the gay clown film.

(Two things, I swear my handwriting isn't normally THAT bad, my pen just decided to be really inky and also I'm using the dd/mm/yy system, I didn't travel to the future lol)

We are hungry and just need bread 🥖

The famine in Gaza will remain a stain on the conscience of all those who let us die of hunger. History will not forgive. For three days, I've been posting updates on our fundraising campaign, begging for help—and yet we've only received 200 euros... while a bag of flour now costs $1,500.

We are not alive, we are starving, collapsing in pain.

My little girl cries for food, and I have nothing left to offer. No bread, no hope, no strength. I don't know how to ask anymore. But if our lives mean nothing to the world, know that history will remember this silence.
