Circus Secrets

Chapter 1/3 (2)(3)

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Stark white and red tents stand against the night. There shadow looming over you.

You know secrets hide under their flaps, but are you ready for what you will find? Or will two animatronics put a water end to your pursuit?

Happy spooky day Alyn! I hope you like your gift. I wish I could present it all to you today, but I hope this little bit will suffice :3

The entire story should be posted by the 10th! If not uh...I'll let you.. name my first born?...Yeah...yeah that seems like a good punishment.

Enjoy the first chapter!

(Also if there is anything too much out of character, let me know, I can make slight adjustments if it's not too large!)

hello!! ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊ i really love how you color, do you have any tips ?! specifically how you choose/pick your colors/lay them down, but if you also perhaps feel like sharing some info on your rendering process i'd love that as well! have a great night!

HII THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!!! I'm super stoked that people like the way I color my pieces so yes, I will throw some of my tips your way!

For the first drawing I picked colors off the wheel purely on preference. You can see that the base colors of everything are very bright and almost straight out a kids show. This is fun and perfectly fine! For shading, I would take my base color to make darker, and-- depending on the color-- move it left or right in Hue. For colors such as Red, Orange, and Yellow I typically make them warmer. So shading with red would be a dark magenta, shading with orange would be a reddish brown, and shading with yellow could either be orange or golden brown depending on the intensity of the shading. For colors such as green, cyan, and blue, I lean them colder! Shading for green is often a dark teal, shading for cyan is a darker blue, and shading for blue is a darker purple. Shading for purple is weird because I sometimes make it dark blue, or a darker purple. Same thing for dark blue, shading is either dark purple or a darker blue. For pink I often do purple for shading! This is the most basic idea of how I like to choose my colors and determine what colors I will shade with.

2. This part is a LITTLE harder to explain, but this is how i make all my colors work together in one peice! Something my highschool teacher taught me in my painting class is you should always paint your background first so color-matching is much easier. Another tip is mixing a little bit of the same color you want to work with (like blue or red) into each of your colors so they have undertones of the color you want to work with! This works for digital painting as well. What I do is i place down the main color i want to work with- in this case blue or red- onto the background layer. Then with a brush capable of mixing (I use CSP so a good example is the Chalk brush) I take my base colors of what the environment looks like without alterations, and scribble them into the background color so they gain the undertones I want. For the night-time drawing shading, I did what I did in the first one! I took the base color (now blue-tinted) and made my reds, yellows, and oranges warmer and darker, and made my greens, blues, and purples cooler and darker. For lighting I did the opposite! I made my reds, yellows, and oranges cooler and brighter, and my greens, blues, and purples warmer and brighter! For the red drawing, it's the exact same process. BUT. The difference is, for contrast since Green is Red's complimentary color I mixed a LITTLE bit of green into the shading colors, and mixed a little bit of red into the lighter colors because I really wanted the intensity of the red to POP.

In all of my rendered and sometimes unrendered pieces, youll see the same themes over and over! In the last image of above, youll see I mixed in yellow with the shaded parts since that's the opposite of purple. In the 3rd drawing with moon, I kept the shading greenish but the lighting red! I don't ALWAYS use complimentary colors in shading and lighting, but its fun to play around with :3 Whats important is: In all of the drawings above, I put down my background / preferred undertone color first, then built all the base colors on top of that so there was less color clashing! It really makes everything feel like it belongs in the same environment. For rendering tips: I don't have many, but 90% of the time just know I treat it like painting! I keep everything on one layer and color over my sketch, building shapes and colors until everythings nice and blocked out till I can focus on the smaller details without worry. I like to use brushes that allow blending: In CSP that'd be Chalk, or other brushes you can find on the store. In MediBang itd be Watercolor! You just gotta look for the right tools. Some of my inspirators that have helped me learn how to draw since elementary school are LavenderTowne (mostly her earlier videos) and watching SpectroliteAAA (prev WalkingMelonsAAA) 's speedpainting videos ^^ I HOPE THIS ALL MADE SENSE AAAA HAVE A GREAT DAY
