I want to know how you render.
A lot of people seemed to be oddly interested in how I render so...
I use solid brush or lasso to block in the light and shadow first.
You can see this in the Till drawing because it's all hard edges
2. Add high saturation colour in the area where the light turns into shadow.
I like to do this cause it gives a glassy transparent feeling to my drawing.
3. Cause most of my drawings are 70% in shadow + 30% in light, i will render the shadow
that means, adding another "light" to the shadow, like reflective light or so. For the till drawing, its a blue light from the left
However, we need to make sure the secondary light doesn't destroy the main light source, so this secondary light will only cause hue and or saturation changes instead of value changes
Above are the logic for my doodle drawings, but if i want to continue, i will do the following:
if the form faces left, it will be affected by the blue light.
if the form turns away from camera and not affected by the blue light, it will be redish
if the form is hard, shape will have hard edges
if the form turns, shape will have soft edges
Things in front are solid and things in the back are blurry
Well, in my art logic, i think "rendering" is separating more layers of information, ie
separating form's plane (via lighting, edges etc)
separating space (via blurriness and light decay)
separating material (e.g. if hair strip is thin, it will be more transparent etc)
oh and i usually add gradients, so it contrasts with the hard blocks i make ✌
I posted some of my drawing process on Bilibili @356Migoro, if anyone is interested.
🤔Actually, I intended to make a YouTube channel to share my art shenanigans, but I'm just a bit too busy lately, let me know if there's anything else you are interested✌
also, normally I don't paint in a solid step-to-step process, its usually i realise that after i have done something, there's still not enough information, so that i "add logic" to my drawing. (e.g. adding the blue light for the till drawing)
and since people asked before:
i use CSP to paint everything
I only use 5 type of pens, they are my main partners in crime✌✌✌ (1) lasso and Default G-pen to line and block in hard edges, (2) Transparent pens for mixing colour (3) Blur tool, (4) Gradient (5) texture pen
