Gloom-y Painting Tutorial

Hey guys! I made a mini tutorial for Instagram and I thought I would share it here too!

I went ahead and put it below the line since it’s a little on the long side and I don’t want to take over your feed. Hope you find it helpful!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to let me know.

Brushes & Mini Tutorial

@fishevi asked which brushed I used and apparently my answer was too long  for tumblr asks so I decided to make it into a normal post. hehe I didn’t want to just list the brushes by name since I didn’t feel like that would be especially helpful in and of itself, so I made a sort of mini tutorial to explain how I use them too. :D

For starters all the brushes I use are from Medibang Paint(either preinstalled or from the cloud). They have some fantastic synthetic paint which I love and I can do hi res work form my android tablet which is even better. 

Rough Pencil

I usually start off all my drawings with the rough pencil brush set to med/low opacity.This one is a cloud brush so you’ll have to download it. I love this brush though.

G Pen

I use the G Pen for almost all my line art.Partially because it helps me get something more stylistically close to the Sugimori style for my fusions but also because it looks good in high and lo-res work. :)

Bucket, Watercolor, & Watercolor(hard)

This is the method I use in pretty much all of my fusions. I start a new layer for each color(one for the body, one for the gas cloud, one for the mouth, etc) and then I fill in the base color with the bucket tool. When it’s set to canvas it will only fill in the area blocked in by the lines or other colors. It goes so much faster when you do it this way as apposed to blocking off each section.I also set it to expand 2 so it fills in close to the line art so there aren’t any tiny gaps.

Once the base colors are filled in I set each layer to Protect Alpha(so I stay in the lines) and I add the darker and lighter colors with one of the two water color brushes. I start with a higher opacity setting(usually 80-ish %) and as I blend it in more I use a lower opacity settings. I typically use the hard watercolor brush unless I want a very soft effect.

The watercolor(hard) may be a cloud brush.

Acrylic

So this is how I do most of my painting. I block in the colors on separate layers and block in the shading roughly with the acrylic brush. I like starting with this because it’s set to not blend with the surrounding colors so I can cleanly lay down my colors.This is also a cloud brush.

Flat Brush

I love this brush mixed with the acrylic. I use this brush primarily to blend. It blends colors beautifully. However it can be a little tricky to control since it bleeds in whatever color the brush touches, so it’s easy to smear the wrong color in.

Those are all the brushes I typically use. I have splatter brushes and a few others I use for special effects, but it’s usually just these few. I hope that wasn’t too overwhelming and was some what helpful for @fishevi and you guys. ^-^’
