hello! I was wondering what brush you used for the lines here? post/611423556519313408/lonely-eyes-but-make-it-domestic-from-this

ah i’m pretty sure i used a pencil brush from a brush pack i bought from here!

the symmetry tool in CSP is so  this also may just be the biggest canvas i've ever worked on, so here's hoping CSP doesn't throw a fit over it later >.>

how do you draw lineless????

tbh my process is still a work in progress as i try to figure out how to do it faster, but it’s basically

take my rough-ish sketch and lower the opacity to ~20%

apply a base silhouette underneath to follow

clip a shitton of layers on top of base for flat colours (each layer is a different colour/detail) so the layers look like this:

this is the part that’s the most tedious imo

then add more details using another clipping layer > multiply (at this point, I’ve basically ditched the sketch layer)

add shading, using another clipping layer > multiply!! i find this part the most fun tbh ‘cause now it's starting to look cool lmao

add sick-ass highlighting effects + colour correction layers as needed (my screen doesn’t produce colours correctly so i have to rely on this a lot)

and ofc disclaimer: i had to do a bunch of value studies, study colour theory, lighting and all that other good stuff!! your lineless work will rely much more heavily on your values and colour, so brush up and pratiquez!!

and this is just my process, i’m sure there are more efficient and better ways to do it, but that’s what i’d got so far (you should check out @anushbanush who has some really nice tutorials on her own lineless style!)
