Rules: Tag 10 people you want to get to know better if my brain can't name 10 then i'll just look at my notifs to fill up 10 for this hahahaha

Last song: 我也曾經想過這樣殺了我自己 Once I Thought of Leaving (南西肯恩 NeciKen) cover by Fulgur Ovid × Enna Alouette 🥹❤️💜

Last movie: Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can't Sing

Last book: 💀Not fun💀 - Some book on Management Accounting; ‼️Fun‼️ - Kawaii-sensei's The Best of Everything! Master the Manga Drawing Techniques (<-I just started this one, it's nice so far since it's kinda in the same genre as my artstyle! The Kawaii-sensei is an artist I've been following for a long time now on the bird app and they've been posting a lot of tutorials too, so I was confident about buying this and being able to learn from it. I also bought the ones with the Character Poses Book 1 (EN) and with the Hands Pose Collection Vol 1 (JP), but I wanted to solidify the fundamental basics first since I'm still lacking on that department. If my art improves, you already know.)

Last TV show: It's either 7th Ti/me Loop or Gin/tama (rewatched some eps recently)

Sweet/savoury/spicy: Sweet & Savory! My spice tolerance is low...

Last thing I googled: Googled the names of my lab tests to find out what they're for and what the results mean (I should really book an appointment with the specialist soon)

Looking forward to: Drawing more art this year and releasing the next chapter of my webcomic 💜💜💜

Bokura!Apple&Luce - Timelapse (Post, OST)

This is one of the timelapses I'm looping! I'm so obsessed with them, your honor. ReboApp is my OTP for Apple, but there's something so charming and special about Apple's friendship with Luce 🥰

I drew this on my phone so IbisPaint was able to auto-record the timelapse for this. I always forget to turn that feature on for the works that I do in CSP, so most of the ones from there don't have one 🗿🗿🗿

I love Bokura's Main OST so much, its comforting me a lot right now. I love the Ending Theme Song too ofc, but I need to lock in today, not cry hahaha

The draw time says 3 hours, but I feel like at least another hour should be added for the real draw time which includes me rewatching parts of the playthrough + agonizing over the background (even if I know I just needed to loosely trace over the lines lol - just enough for bucket tool to do its job).

Ein's Art Log #1

@lixenn!! Here's the timelapse I recorded for my rarepair week submission! I'm just gonna start this log series because I wanna study art more and take notes of it here in this blog. And maybe it will help people with their drawings? I'm putting my notes below ↓↓↓

Draft & Lineart

First, for this art, I used a base made by Ging (깅). Using bases like these are always useful for a lot of things and it also forces me to draw things (like poses, hands, etc) I wouldn't normally draw by myself (if its up to just my hand with zero braincell input, I would just draw the characters facing 3/4 to the left over and over). Also a lot of them are just so *chef kiss*, god bless Korean artists. They're so good, especially with how they do the figures and anatomy!

I just adjusted the base a bit to match the characters' heights, since Kurumi is taller than Chrome by like 6cm.

Then when making the drawing a draft layer over the base, I usually use bright colors like green, red or blue (most often green). I usually don't think about the draft too much even if it turns out ugly, I think it's actually better that it turns out ugly and messy.

Otherwise, if the draft looks slightly more decent than expected, then I'd become too lazy to draw a more proper lineart. Whenever I remember to do so, I also use a gray-colored background so it's easier on my eyes, especially since I drew this after work.

For the "lineart", I used a brush called 촉펜 (MTL says it's "Touch Pen" in English; Content ID: 2050169). I recently started using this for doodles/sketches, it feels nice. It was free when I downloaded it, but it costs 10 Clippy now.

Anyway, I used a little bit more braincells for the "lineart" now after the draft, but then I didn't really try that hard to make it look clean, since I'm rushing to finish it as fast as I can. I just made sure that the outside lines are connected just enough for easier selection & coloring later.

Coloring & Shading

The coloring is where my experiment actually started! I usually go ahead and color them one-by-one per each color and part, but to be quicker, I used the Magic Wand selection tool to select the area outside the background, then inverting it so now the selection is at the characters *except* the background.

I then used the the bucket tool to fill the selection with the color I use as the base skin color. I still keep the selection there for further coloring purposes.

Just from here, I added another layer on top for the shading of the skin! For the shading, I used a brush called Yuri Watercolor (Content ID: 1889385). This one's really a paid brush, but I liked it a lot so I got it hahaha.

I do plan on replicating on doing this on IbisPaint one of these days! My plan so far is to use the free watercolor brush there, lower the brush opacity to around 60-70% and then draw the shading on a clipping layer set to the Multiply layer effect.

After shading, it looks like this now! I didn't mind the colors bleeding through the non-skin parts (except for two parts: the neck shading that would bleed to the face and thigh shading that would bleed to the skirt). I also used this brush to color Chrome's eye. Huhu I can't remember how I did it, helpskjfbjsbf

Then for the coloring of the hair and clothes, I just used the soft airbrush! I tried using the Yuri Watercolor brush for it too, but I couldn't quite grasp it yet on how to use it for coloring/shading those parts. I guess I know what to study next hahaha

When coloring the hair (and clothes), I did color the middle parts but didn't really full-on color till the edges to make that fading effect at the edge.

For the shading, I added clipping layers above and used the watercolor brush again!

For the hair highlights, I used the soft airbrush again. I just used a white color on a Soft Light layer effect to add a faint highlight on their hair (showed on picture on the left). Afterwards, I added another layer above with the Add/Glow effect and turned down the opacity to around 50%, to put more shine to it (showed on picture on the right).

Additionally, I also added a paper texture layer at the bottom! I also grouped up all the lineart and color layers into one folder and set the layer effect to Linear Burn.

Finally, after a bit color corrections/adjustments, blur filters (post-processing stuff, maybe for a different post?) and adding some decorations, the drawing is finally done! KuruKuro my beloved 💖

That's the process I'm playing around with so far, but I think I can still improve on it. I'm also planning on making a page on my wiki to compile my resources, references and such (maybe some free to use assets too). But anyway, that's all for now!
