do you have any tips on how you colour or how to learn? ive just come across some of your art and the colours are gorgeous! sorry if youve already had a question like this </3 ive only just discovered your account

I think I've talked about it before but I'm happy to talk about it again! For learning, personally studying from other artists was the most helpful when learning colour theory and trying to get better with colour palettes/lighting! I also like doing studies based on photos, I have a pinterest board dedicated to photos with fun lighting for inspiration

The way I colour specifically is pretty loose and painterly, I did a lot of painting before I got into digital art so I use similar methods to how I worked as a traditional artist!

I made a little timelapse to show how I work, I start with filling everything in with one colour and work in sections to fill out and render skin, hair, clothes, etc! Then I set the sketch layer as a multiply layer, colour the lineart and add any final details.

The brush I use does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to colour choice, I mainly use the tiger brush pack brushes from the csp asset store, they're soft and have a lot of hue variation which helps me add colours to my work I might've not thought to add otherwise!

Other little colouring notes:

I try to avoid purely white eyes! Nobody has entirely white sclera and I've found it can look scary in art especially if the rest is fairly well rendered lol

For shadows and highlights, I don't just change the value but also the hue! How I change it depends on the piece but because I like colouring warmer toned stuff, generally I go for warmer shadows. Lots of reds and oranges!

I also really like adding reflective light! Super easy way to do it is to take your drawing, draw some blue (or whatever colour you want) in it, colour pick from that, and then add it where it feels right! Maybe doesn't always make sense but I think it looks good and I like doing it lol

I hope this all made sense and answered your question properly! :'D

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

"as an older sibling-" as a younger sibling, stop thinking your life experiences are so incredibly unique and also entirely dependent on your birth order

This is true of the manga, but I love how the anime accentuates the absolute physical trust the apprentices have with Qifrey. Specifically with Agott, the way she is so ready when Qifrey says “hang on tight, I need my hands free” to cling to him a mile into the sky, and then in the latest episode, how, as soon as she impacts Qifrey while flying to him, she makes no move to save herself, she just curls into him and trusts that he will keep them from falling.

And I think it works as a signal to the audience, to subtly go “hey, I know we don’t trust Qifrey right now, he’s being shady, but we can always trust him to protect the physical wellbeing of his kids. Remember that.” Idk man maybe I’m getting too attached to a teeny detail but aaaaaaghhhh that’s her dad.

stealing your tags

#anyways i think it's particularly notable that fiercely independent always-has-something-to-prove Agott is like this with him#and that none of the apprentices really hide how they're feeling around him even when that feeling is negative#Agott and Richeh make it known when they're unhappy with Qifrey#and they (two abused kids) just flat out wouldn't do this if he wasn't a safe person to be unhappy at
