hey! i wanted to ask; i love how the ink looks for the family meal pokemon art! how do you get such a clean finish on (seemingly) transparent lineart? do you take the time to carefully color the shapes beneath it so that the lineart is filled out by the color, effectively having to create that clean edge twice? or do you have some artist magic to make it work? :D

it's essentially the first thing, yeah! this is legit my first time coloring in full a piece inked this way, so I was muddling through a lot of figuring stuff out. the way I colored this is basically a mix between my usual coloring process and things I did kinda by accident and found fun to look at haha. for example the base step was to block out the main chunk with an undertone, which I did by selecting the negative area and paint bucketing the rest basically, and then make a clip folder on that to color details. you can see it didn't work super cleanly for this type of lineart: the outward lines look a lot messier in the final piece

the rest of it is me manually blocking out colors, and a fun thing I've found with "transparent" ink-wash-style lineart is the fact that the colors show through! and in my experience this means you should prioritize darker colors underneath it to help it blend well with the surrounding. like here with sonia's hand on the table - I made a bad choice with coloring under the lineart in her skintone, and it looks way off in the surrounding tones.

however! if you have some time to spend on it the line transition is really fun with some colors in play. I've found you can blend out the seam between color blocks to even out the transition, or! with some parts where darker color blocks meet lighter color blocks, you can extend the darker color into the lighter block's lineart a bit, and it makes the whole thing more coherent and also fun to look at imo.

and! with the shading, you can extend the color from the object you're coloring and blend it out, and that'll make for fun colorful shading.

this all is a lot of legwork I will not deny that, I was practically asleep in my seat when this piece was finally finished up, but! I do hope to figure out easier ways to do things from here on. or at least do this enough that the motion comes to me easier. and when zoomed in you can see that my coloring under the lineart isn't that neat at all! the advantage of a lot of details on a decent sized canvas is nobody can really tell you went over the line here and there when looking at it as a whole. and it is a professed value of this style of inking for me, being able to do it in a more... colloquial gesture instead of being precise all the time, like with my more signature ink brush; that's how I've been approaching this brush, and I think that's also how I'm going to approach coloring with it. tl;dr:

#ask #zayathekid #bakuspecial #details #long post #thank you very much for the ask! I'm snatching the chance to document the process for myself lmao #in my experience. always think about convenience. that way you'll find urself doing absolutely insane stunts later on #knowing u can just quit and walk away often allows you to stay and work on it!#all in my body of philosophy around art: ''have fun and be yourself''#or: the result doesn't matter half as much as the fact that you sat down and did it #as long as you're drawing and having fun. who the hells cares about having a presentable final piece #also from this same body of art philosophy: bitch about it. if you dont like something ur doing say it out loud #articulate it! say the specific thing you don't like abt ur current piece out loud and! now u have something to work on #and always remember: if shit sucks hit da brick #yes I know saying this after three different inking sessions AND six hours of coloring to finish this piece. it #it diminishes the effect a bit. but! these are the thoughts that keep my understimulated lazy ass drawing #1/have fun 2/know what u want out of ur art 3/u can leave at any time #this. was about the coloring of this specific piece lmao #I always want more folks to have the pleasure of making funny shapes and I dont want my antics to turn u off of art #also if you know how to achieve the shit I do here in a lot less time with a lot less effort. please show me #also I love that folks have been calling this piece the family meal. like genuinely!!#cause making nem rán has always been very much a family activity for me growing up #and I in fact did name this piece familygathering dot png in my art folder lmao #I'm glad the vibes come thru!! they're family!!

American peaches?? are peaches other places not fuzzy???

well i mean i guess nectarines have no fuzz but i always see peaches from japan with way less fuzzies but it's still there, they're sweeter too! they wrap like. little papers around them as they grow so maybe that has something to do with it

#ask #zayathekid #ive always wanted to try peaches from japan theyre PINK

Finally got finished enough with this, dem bones were time consuming!

Think the next drawing of them will be in a sweater for unrelated reasons haha

Anyway, check out Zaya think he may still have some lava lamp adoptables left if not his commissions are open! Fucking stellar art style!

#would you believe as soon as I got this adoptable I started on this?#adoptable art #zayathekid #didn’t really change the name cuz I’m lazy #support artists #Zaya the kid #slime cat #skeleton cat #you ever see a mistake and can’t be assed to fix it immediately after posting?

Posting this here because I can. An adopt I purchased from zayathekid. I adore them

journaling is 💯 what a good therapist would start you on for your memory. taking time in the evening (or morning, or whenever you can make yourself do it) to start a routine of journaling about your day to go over what happened, how it made you feel, and where you want to go from here. it's really good for you if you can keep it up!

y’know, it seems like such obvious advice and yet my brain never..... fully thinks to do that until it’s said skdjfd. thanks dude, that’s some solid advice & it’s nice to hear what someone would say a good therapist would likely recommend! i think once i’m at a normal routine again or find a new sort of normal, that might be really helpful!! or even while i’m just at a sort of at-home routine right now, if there’s something particularly impactful/different for that day, maybe it’d be good for me to note down somewhere (maybe even just in the notes app in my phone, since i often forget to write things down physically otherwise...), just in case!

#asks #zayathekid #it's such an obvious thing to do and yet my brain even forgets -that- as an option sdjfdds.#but again i think it's because i have trouble remembering to write things down so maybe typing it would be better for me!#or i can get a little board or book to put sticky notes in with small writings/reminders of what happened a particular day.#either way i appreciate the advice!!#save
