Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba OP

[fenkko]

i love you art HHHH can you give tips on how you choose ur color for your art?? it’s so pretty

thank you so much!! :’) here’s a tutorial of my process:

1) i like sketching on off-white backgrounds. for this softer style i avoid black lines because they can blend into muddy colors or stand out too much (but for bold, poppy art i think crisp black lines look really great!!) 

i usually choose a warm color and make it darker/less saturated so that it’s less likely to clash

2) on a layer below the sketch, i use the lasso tool to create a quick base. (it’s better to color manually because paint bucket can leave some white lines, especially if you’re using chalkier brushes.) then i can just lock transparency and color without worrying about missing edges or leaving gaps!

3) i start coloring the skin! there are some hard edges (like the eyes) but i’ll also use a soft brush to add a darker gradient to areas like the cheeks and fingers. it’s a simple way to add some life to a character

the image on the left is for photoshop users! i marked the tools i’ll talk about later

4) the color choosing part is mostly just a lot of intuitive trial-and-error but i have a few tips! when i shade, i make the color darker but also move it towards a different hue to prevent things getting dull/flat. my coloring is pretty subtle (orange -> red, blue -> purple) but some artists make really exciting shading using combos like complimentary colors! the techniques will depend on the mood of your piece

you can use a white-black gradient map to check your color values. it should be readable both ways!

also, solid color (the “color fill” layer in the image) is great for photoshop users that resize the canvas a lot!

5) gradient map is one of my favorite techniques!! it’s on a layer above the drawing. i think it makes things look a little more cohesive. sometimes there’s a reason to make it 100%, but i usually tone it down

6) finishing touches: i make a copy of all the layers except the background, merge, and then render/clean up! make sure to preserve some textures though

then i’ll tweak it with vibrance and curves and some other neat photoshop techniques i’ve talked about here 

i hope this helped!! link to finished piece

What ARE Vanishing Points?

So I feel like a lot of confusion with drawing in perspective is because people are not taught the absolute basics properly? So let’s do that.

Let’s say we have a cube.

Now, a cube we know is made out of 6 squares or rectangles, and every edge is at a 90 degree angle.

so every opposite edge of a cube is exactly parallel, right?

but let’s say we draw a cube using only parallel lines:

this looks a little weird, you know? Like if i try think of this as an object in 3d space and i look at it for too long, the faces start to look really warped - with like the back looking bigger than the front as if its been made out of weird wonky trapeziums

so what’s going on here? if all those edges are exactly parallel, why does it look weird?

lets take a look at this photo of a railway track

Now we know that the rails on a track are always going to be parallel, they have to be the same distance apart so the train can stay on the track yeah?

But we can very clearly see that these tracks are converging to a single point in the photo.

So what does this tell us, exactly? That our view of the world is naturally warped, and that lines that are physically parallel when drawn in perspective will converge to a single point.

Now, I could call this image “one point perspective” - but that’s not really true,

if these lines are also parallel, then they must also converge to a single point in perspective, right? so lets add another point

clip studio paint automatically adjusts the horizon line to fit the new points you add to your perspective…. notice how the horizon line actually fits the photo better now?

our new point is a very very long way away, so we don’t notice a lot of difference in the angle between lines, but the point that i’m trying to make here is:

Drawing with perspective guides is not about choosing one, two, three point perspective etc. those are just quick ways to set up a certain viewing angle

What you are doing when you use these guides is making your parallel lines converge to a point.

So, if you want to draw a big ol’ cube that’s aligned to be parallel with these railroad tracks, then you can do that with the same point as the tracks - because it’s parallel. It’s on the same axis!

but what if you want to draw a cube that’s rotated, and isn’t parallel to the tracks?

well that’s not too difficult to do if you know that every point represents one set of parallel lines.

If these lines aren’t parallel to the ones you already have, then clearly you just need new points.

We’re not planning to tilt this cube up into the air, or rotate it onto its side, so we’re going to leave the vertical axis alone, and just move our horizontal points to a different place on the horizon line

But speaking of the vertical axis - the only points that will be on your horizon line are the ones that are flat on the ground. But you can still have points that are not on the horizon line!

This is important to remember because if you’re trying to draw something like a slope or stairs, something that has an incline, it’s not going to be level with your horizon.

Let’s draw some stairs as an example.

This is actually pretty simple - first draw where your slope starts and ends by drawing a big L shape.

this will give you some parallel corners, which you can then connect to make a new point for your slope

And with this you can then find the centre and divide that up into equal parts to make your stairs (http://lesbianlinkle.tumblr.com/post/176704472820)

So lets go back to our original cube, with the knowledge that our parallel lines should all converge to a point and draw it again

well, doesn’t that look better!

but also, now you know how to make a cube lean against its buddy like this

because we just make new points for the new parallel lines

Anyway I hope that clears some things up, and makes perspective easier to understand!

Also if these tutorials have been helpful and you’d like to support me, I do have a patreon & a ko-fi you can donate to :^)

Again this is my personal take on color! It really depends on the situation and what you personally value, and in the end practice is your best friend.

genice’s color practices

color palette challenge (one iteration of it; there’s lot of people who made them)

(not mentioned, but helpful)

Wonder Woman and Marvel

I thought he had one on John Wick too but I can’t find it. If you like saturated colors though, check that movie out!!

those are only a couple of exterior references, there’s lots out there!! so good luck & I hope this helped!!

Some people have been asking me what are the brushes (SAI) I use and… here they are. Since my English is SO poor I could not explain how I work with those brushes, so I decided to use only images, snif.

Mmm, in summary, these are the brushes I use and some examples of how I paint with them (my art is so inconsistent that my way of painting varies according to my mood, LOL). I’m really sorry for not being able to answer all your questions 😭 I hope this helps someone 💜

I take this opportunity to thank all the people who send me messages, I appreciate each one of them, really thank you 💜 ✧ Instagram ✧ Twitter ✧ Store ✧
