how u draw art!?!!! /gen

I was wondering the same thing--when i draw, i dont tend to follow any conventional or consistent way of shading,lineart,process, etc, besides including certain elements of my style. My process always changes depending on how fast i want to do something or what i have in mind; although if youre asking for my typical process, heres this little tutorial

And if youre asking for what program i use--I use Ibis paint X. all of my brushes are custom brushes besides the airbrush and lineart brush, which is just the default felt tip pen (soft).

i hope this helps! I dont mind anymore asks if theres anything i missed

HOW TO USE BLENDING MODES

OKAY SO I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW THIS BUT THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO DON’T

I know a lot of people who feel like they need to black or dark colors for shading and white/really light colors for highlights on their digital art, but this isn’t the case! There’s a feature on most painting programs (SAI, Photoshop, Manga Studio, and to some extent FireAlpaca) called blending modes that can help you if you want to try different colors for shading and highlights.

For this drawing, I’ve done the shading in a bright pink on a separate layer from the coloring.

There’s a menu above the layer list that says “Normal.” If you click on that, it expands to reveal several other things.

(this should look about the same for most programs)

In that list of options, there is one called Multiply. I like to use that for shading, so let’s click that one.

It made the pink blend with the layers below it differently, and it’s much darker and a lot more intense than simply using black would have been.

Mulitiply and Linear Burn are best for shading. Color Burn works, but it doesn’t show up on pure white. There are plenty of options, though, so don’t be afraid to try them!

You can also use blending modes for highlights. I like to use Soft Light, Add/Add (Glow), Hard Light, and Overlay for that. Screen and Lighten work pretty well, too.

Here i have the highlights in a light yellow (but not super light):

And here they are on Soft Light!:

There are lots of really wacky blending modes too, like Difference and Divide, that you can play around with too!

I hope this helped someone out there!
