Today, Ghibli IT launched a call for artists, and though I never take part in these challenges due to a lack of time, I decided to pay a small homage to the majestic film Princess Mononoke.

Breaking my streak of TOS fanart for Ghibli today, no regrets hehe

hii! what program + brushes do you use most??

Hello there!

My go-to softwares are:

CSP(clip studio paint)

Rebelle8 Pro - I've been using Rebelle since version 3 came out, so the version itself doesn't matter.

As for the brushes, I use the classic round brush with one soft edge, a flat one that has a slight colour mixing and a G-pen-like one or Clip Studio Gpen.

Here's the link to my CSP assets, if you want to give them a try!

The last two mentioned: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/search?user=Pigliamosche&order=new

If you see any painterly grain, watercolour, brushstroke or texture, it most probably was made on Rebelle so it's not about the brushes but the software itself :D

Hope it answered your question!✨

TOS eyes.

Couldn't resist drawing some suuuper close ups. I mean, there's not a single person on the enterprise that doesn't have beautiful eyes.

At this point, having wonderful eyes was probably among the requisites to be a Starfleet officer.IDK

hi! what were the album of the year and song of the year for you?

Hello there! Uh, I think my album of the year was probably "Can't Buy a Thrill" - Steely Dan and the song "Spain" - Chick Corea.

Respectively:

Can't buy a thrill

Spain

These are not necessarily the ones I listened to the most during this year, but they've become my comfort and Go-to pieces during this year! :D

Dude. YOUR ART IS SO,,, 🤩🤩🤩

Please. I need to know how you do these MASTERPIECES dawg please share your secrets I love your paintings sm!!!!!!!

What app do you use??

I’m so curious I love your art so much 😭🙏🫶🏻

Have a nice day!

AAAA Thank you so much! I'm incredibly grateful for the support I've been receiving lately 💚

There's no real secret to what I do, the baseline is that I pay a lot of attention to shapes and composition, I block out my main shadows to have clear volumes of the subjects, and then, when painting the rest, I make sure there's enough colour variation to make the piece more vibrant and less "one solid flat shade". I use mainly CSP and Rebelle8 (the latest pieces are made on Rebelle) :D

Here's a small breakdown (this is the original sketch over which I re-painted the piece since I didn't save the process earlier)

Rough sketch + base colour to make everything uniform and coherent, you can already see some colour variation happening here, some purples, yellows and oranges are mixed with the red base.

As long as they're all on the same value, you're pretty much fine adding as much colour variation as you need.

Adding local colours to the subject.

Again, there's no single solid shade, but more of an overlap of shades. I went with an indigo blue and then gradually darkened the coat. Since colours are not an intrinsic property of the object, but more of the result of which waves a subject absorbs and reflects + the ambient they're in, paying attention to the values and interaction shades have with one another, is more efficient than thinking about colours as static, unchangeable and descriptive of a certain object. Most people approach painting and drawing through stereotypes, which allows us humans to navigate the world and understand it through categorisation and simplification.

(ES: the sky is blue, the tree is brown and green, the sun is bright and yellowish, the water is clear and often depicted as turquoise, and so is the sea, you see this approach in most kids' books, for example.)

But as painters/artists, we have to break out of these stereotypes and go further, observe how light and atmosphere interact and influence each other. An apple could appear red under natural light but grey under a red one! Same apple, different environment.

Shadow blocking.

I usually use the lasso tool to block out the general shape of most of my shadows, it doesn't have to be a perfect match or clean work; it just has to convey a simplified version of the shadows I see in what I'm painting. If you struggle with this, try squinting your eyes: this will help you see just what's important to the piece's readability. Truth is that most of the little details we see, lines and tiny folds, are really not that important, if we focus too much on them and add them right away or get distracted into painting smal details before the rest is even sorted out, it can result in a very unbalanced piece which will also be hard to "build", as you don't have the general picture and base structure for your work. Details can always be added later, but the opposite cannot be done efficiently (most of the time). Pretty much like trying to hang a beautiful decorative piece on a half-built wall of a house without foundations.

Here's a short video where I add a bit of colour variation and definition on the coat, just for clarity, it might help to better visualise what I'm talking about :'D

PS: To check your values real quick, you can set your image in black and white and see if everything works!

And sorry if my syntax isn't the best, but English is not my native language. I hope the post is still understandable and not too confusing!
