zeno @styxxsyringe - Tumblr Blog

welcome to my profile! i'm zeno (or styx) and i like to call myself an illustrator because it sounds fancy!

i mostly post about and draw my OCs - these days, my focus project is reassassination, a WIP horror-comedy-mystery about a zombie assassin working under a mad scientist.

learn more about it here!

Haiii ^^ im a big fan of your art!! i think its totally rad & i was wondering how you render/color folds on clothing? the shapes you use are very interesting !

i tend to try nd simplify clothing folds into straight or curved lines for ease of drawing - my favourite way to do it is to ink a few lines in black and then use 2-3 lighter colors for depth, i think it looks cool that way :-)

(sketchy examples)

(cleaner examples - i also like to use screentones on dark/black clothing and occasionally on color - generally i try to avoid using screentones excessively, so i only use them for blush, hair details, and black clothing/items)

i also tend to just draw by eye and looking at clothes irl, but i would recommend drapery studies to help add accuracy to your cartoony drawings
