It’s been a while! Thought I would start drawing on my tablet again. Been obsessed with drawing Tsukki lately :D 

[sojuice]

Um, hi! I was wondering if you could do a mini tutorial on how to colour clouds? (You don't have to do this uvu) I really love your word, I'm inspired by it!

i got multiple questions about this, so i’ll just answer it on this ask

sorry i kept putting it off for so long…

so… i guess i would think of what kind of sky i would want

i like sunsets, so i’ll draw that

so i start with the very back color; it’s a dull purple

my intent is to go from purple/dark grey->peach/pink

i like to use this fuzzy brush

not sure what to call these… the ‘back’ / ‘dark’ clouds?

i put on random splotches at 40~50% opacity of dark blue around the edges

i’m going to put my light source at the bottom right, so i put a rusty orange color slightly at 10~20% opacity

then i blended the colors before i started to add more colors

the more you blend, the better the picture will look 8)

now i put my pen at around size 8-10 to put in thin areas of peach/gold where the light will hit at around 60% opacity

color it where ever you think it looks good 

i like to adjust my colors and edit on sai

on an overlay layer on top of the drawing, i airbrushed so dark blue in at the top left and right

then near the end i like to use the combination of lower brightness and higher contrast

i’ll put a video later since my explanation is horrible most of the time…

sorry i put the drawing sideways… it wouldn’t fit

try these drawings for reference…

maybe use the eyedropper and use colors from these?

hope that helps

hello natalia! If it's alright to ask and you're not busy, can you talk a little bit about how you digitally paint? (programs/brushes/tutorial/etc.) Thank you so much! Sorry if it's been asked before D:

Hey there! Sure, a few people have asked and I just remembered that I did get a few progress pics of this guy:

Messy sketch! I never spend much time on it beyond basic shapes/composition since it gets painted over anyway.

Throw down some base colors, usually setting the sketch layer to multiply on low opacity so I can start seeing the image without much line, erasing what I don’t need.

Then it’s just building on top of that and rounding it out!

This one stayed pretty consistent throughout, but most paintings change tremendously. (The wonky middle stages are usually really funny hahaha.) No one wants to admit it, but often ideas just don’t work as well in practice, the proportion’s off, you think of something better etc. Art is critical thinking, it happens! Loosening expectations and just working from what’s in front of me has been a tremendous help in this regard and I try to keep to as few layers as possible to curb perfectionism.

Other than that uh… I have Photoshop CS6 and a collection of brushes mostly from digitalbrushes​. 8.5x11″ (or otherwise between 2000-4000px) at 300ppi is my usual canvas size.

My boyfriend showed me a photoset of Maru the Cat and somehow Nyanko-sensei got caught in it... 

[nyankoj]

I had a sudden urge to draw last night. I'll probably make some tweaks and ink it today :)

[nyankoj]

Do you want to build a snowman~~ lol It's been snowing in Oregon, and my bf wanted me to make a Nyanko-sensei snowman. So far so good, just need to get the details in. It's getting windy again so I'll start again tomorrow~

[nyankoj]

Mirai :D :D :D  I’ve been obsessed with Kyoukai no Kanata, but haven’t had any chance to draw on my Clip lately… (yay for first drawing of 2014!) Also, I tried making it one layer. So much blending, my hand hurts x_x Hmm, not sure if I’ll finish it though. I always end up trashing my doodles. :\ Hopefully I’ll stick to it!
