As promised, an art process under the cut

Here's the timelapse - (I apologise in advance for the bad resolution, it was the best I could get)

So I'll talk a little about my process, then general tips/advice. I don't do clean lineart (I think it removes texture and makes me too perfectionist), so my sketch layer is my lineart equivalent. I'll make a layer below for the base, and that's where all the coloring happens. Then I have a layer for highlights and noise

As for general advice, the tips I would give are:

Flip the canvas often, it actually helps. I tend to forget so I actively remind myself to

Texture is important - so having good brushes, interesting shapes/speckles/lines, really add to a piece. Texture is easy to get with traditional art, but not so given with digital 🥲

Contrast is also, unfortunately, important - even when drawing supposedly light skin/clothes, the shadows will be very dark. A good way to practice this is by having a ref on hand, or by switching to grayscale every now and then to assess the contrast. You can also draw in monotone!

There are different types of shadows - sharp and soft ones, depending on the surface. Areas like under the neck/nose have sharp shadows, but more subtle planes like cheeks have softer ones. There's a lot of tutorials out there for drawing shadows! I use a low opacity mapping pen/airbrush for softer shadows like around the cheeks/jaw.

Refs are really helpful for colouring. I don't do big render-y pieces without one. I like getting my refs from two places; music videos and films. You get some really interesting colours and cinematic lighting that way. You can take refs from Pinterest, but I think there's a certain intimacy to collecting your own refs from series you watch and the music you listen to. Collect inspo from the stuff you love!! :)

Don't delete 'bad' art - it can take a long time to get comfortable with a style and what you create (and to those day I still have pieces I make but hate). Your art will evolve - and that's fine! 'Bad' art is okay! It's a part of the process

And I kinda always say this, but surround yourself with the stuff you enjoy. Watch other artist's speedpaints, you'll pick up new ideas and techniques to experiment with - and keep a folder of the stuff that catches your attention! I have a folder on my phone dedicated to screenshots from mvs, polaroids, pics I've taken, anything that inspires ideas. It's like my little hub- I update it often, and I use it for refs. Get yourself a little personal inspo folder in your gallery! It keeps me in an artists' mindest ❤️

Furiously taking notes from these amazing tips (+beautiful art)!

More cod arttt!!!

pictured : when the guy that's been annoying Soap this whole time (probably Graves) finally throws the first punch and now Soap finally has an excuse to throw hands

thank you to my art friend from instagram for helping me with tips for his facial hair and reminding me about his scars since I nearly forgot to add them :0

[neoexists]

Uh oh who's that in the scythe gosh three red eyes and a cat shaped shadow wowww that's so coincidental...

shoutout to my cousin who asked if I had drawn Helob before (and subsequently told me to draw him when I said I only had an old unfinished sketch of Helob)

[neoexists]
