I found lots more on the artist's website, and then came across Percy in the Pool, which almost did me in 🥺🧡

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT JUST A MAC PROBLEM

[gl4ssfan]

GUYS IT HAPPENS WITH KRITA TOO

[raemeh]

is there like….a way to check how to do that for procreate?

cause I’ve noticed the same thing so I’ve just been eye picking colors for like…two years now

[cacaocheri]

THERE IS!

ive been noticing the EXACT SAME PROBLEM whenever i would export an image from procreate and it drove me CRAZY that my art would desaturate all the time. anyway, if you're in a canvas, go to settings > canvas > canvas information > color profile

once youre in color profile, if your current color profile is display P3, CHANGE IT!!!!!! it is desaturating your colors. you're gonna want to change it to sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1 instead

if you're starting a new canvas, you can just go to color profile and change it that way. im SO grateful for this post for giving me the push i needed to experiment with procreate files and finally see what was changing my art to be so desaturated

like LOOK at this!!!!

anyway yeah. tldr if youre using procreate, make sure your color profile is sRBG IEC6 1966-2.1

[silurisanguine]

open this fully as it's not just a MAC problem.

life hack from art school: instead of saying you cant draw something or that you dont like something about your art, just say the element “wasn’t working”

had to change a pose because it was too difficult to draw? it “didn’t work” compositionally!

feel like something is off about the background? it doesn’t suck, it’s just not working for the piece!

art is all about finding ways to convey an idea or emotion in a VERY subjective way, so thinking about it in terms of “working/not working for this piece” instead of “good/bad” is very helpful for me personally. it’s a small step you can take towards having a healthy outlook on your work!

[wzysabel]

Whenever I draw something and I don’t like how it comes out, instead of telling myself that it’s bad because “I’m a bad artist”, I tell myself that it’s simply boring in terms of colours or composition and that’s why I don’t like it. This made me a lot less self-conscious.

[kiwi]

that’s a very good point!! being able to identify WHAT exactly in the piece bothers you can cut down on a lot of that self loathing

i dont see a lot of people talking about how to healthily self-critique, which is a really important thing for artists to learn (considering we’re all so incredibly critical of our own work)

ask yourself first what IS working. what elements do you want to keep? do you need to keep working on this piece that’s frustrating you, or can you incorporate that part you really like into a different setting?

then move on to what ISN’T working. find references for things you’re not sure how to draw! learn how to let go of the things that just won’t work no matter how many times you try them. sometimes an idea for a drawing is really cool, but the execution won’t match what you’re imagining. (not even sometimes, but a LOT of times.)

check all of the principles of design in your piece– this infographic is really helpful. go down the list and ask yourself which principles are present in your piece, and if closer attention to any of them could make your piece start working.

finally, STEP AWAY from your work for a long time! come back to it the next day!! the longer i give myself to take a break from it, the better i can look at it objectively.

Here is a link to watch it free online with English subtitles.

Just as a warning, it is a little violent, some horses are killed during the battles, and there is a scene where Wentai cuts open his wrist. It is a very good movie, I just finished watching it and would recommend everyone watch it.
