IF YOUR ART GETS STOLEN

https://www.tumblr.com/dmca Go there, and do as the instructions say. When my art was stolen, I got the post reported, and it was taken down. Don’t worry, it doesn’t just take down the sources post, but it takes down all the reblogged posts too. Please give this a reblog, many artists out there may not know this is here. And remember, ask permission before sharing, or don’t post it.

A super quick trick for drawing draped fabric that my art teacher taught me in high school.

I think regardless of style or personality, your character should run properly. Awkward run ruins everything.

Don’t believe me? Try running the wrong way, see how far that gets you.

For clarity’s sake: the difference between right and wrong here is the arms. Your arms travel opposite your legs.

So for my Fantasy Literature class we had to read "Call of Cthulhu"

Which on it's own would've been fine but....

The website she told us to read it on was PURE WHITE TEXT ON PURE BLACK BACKGROUND

I may or may not have permanent vision damage...

No problem!! I’m entranced by your use of color *o* very inspiring!

Thank you~!

My color choices are mostly done this way. Once I pick the base color, I slide the hue wheel slightly before picking the darker/lighter colors (black for the direction of the shades, gray for the highlights). The question marks signify areas where the direction depends on what mood I want; luckily for me, I don’t use those colors too often. Otherwise, varying the selector diagonally makes the choices more interesting in my opinion.

And there’s room for ‘filters’ too, of course. ^^

How did you create that beautiful chalky, jaggedy, but cute looking brush that you use in some of your color palette challenges?

It’s a custom brush I made with some nice textures I found! It’s a really neat brush to sketch and color with, and the more you go over it, the more solid the color becomes; just like real chalk!

Feel free to use these settings for your own drawings, and if you do, please show me! I’d love to see what you can do with it! <3

(I renamed the actual textures in my own SAI since I already had textures by those names, but you can download “Noise2" + "Pencil2" here!)

Oh, I forgot to ask you. It's really hard for me to do 1/4 hatchings, any tips? I try really hard now and then with the technique, I'll be sitting on my bed for hours just trying to figure out how to match all the hatch patterns. It always ends up looking really weird, do you do different lengths and spaces in between the lines? I really want to master hatching because your line work always look pretty sweet.

A thing I always do is to just draw or find a random shape on something and shade it. Helps you practice steady strokes.

Of course, you can also try other things - like curving or varying the space between the lines to the contour to create a more 3D effect.

Or trying patches, if you work better with short strokes.

Just keep practicing, see what works best with your style. I’ve yet to master my hatching, I’m still learning.

I know people think it’s ‘ideal’ to have perfectly even and spaced lines when you hatch, but I don’t see it that way. I think the beauty in hatching is just the authenticity of it:

Every line is unique and hand-drawn. It may be imperfect, but that’s exactly what makes it look so special, and dynamic, and alive.

So don’t be afraid to be bold with your hatching - it doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s not meant to be perfect. The most important bit is that it’s done by you. Every individual line is like a signature, and you’re putting life into the art with every stroke.

Trakoclock asked:

Hey, if you don’t mind sharing, I’ve always wondered how you got that soft celling look on your characters in your comic. Any tips? I’m currently working on my own comic and I kind of want to go for a less harsh form of cell shading. Thanks!

A couple people have asked about the way I color things and I’ve been meaning to post a tutorial on it :]. I’ve never been too good at describing my process, but I hope this helps!
