Can You Do A Tutorial On How You Color Your Artwork? It's So Pretty!! 😍🤩

Wake up while we still have a chance.

bestie can we get an egg tutorial please? no one is doing it like u…..

for sure!! here's a process video and some steps along the way!

first you wanna get yourself a little reference, but as you can see i mostly just use it for inspiration, shape, and base colors. i'm not looking to recreate it realistically. after i get the lines and base colors down i just start slapping MORE colors on that bad boy!! (no blending!!!!) i like to add bits of the background color and whatever color is going to be in the other egg im drawing (in this case it was green) which you can see in the circle around the yolk, which is just a stylistic choice.

umm what else... you gotta make sure to add that pepper... oh and i like to add a lighter version of the background around the white highlights (the highlights are the only place i use pure white and i only accent them with another color sparingly)

hope this helps!!!

I’m glad that I can finish this on time. 

Season 9 is over, but I know their stories will not stop.

 I love them forever.It’s like I know they’ll always love each other.

 And now I have to stop updating for study.

 I’ll be back in April next year to continue drawing. See U!!!!!

Do you have any advice for maintaining a celebrity's likeness in a drawing without compromising your art style? When I try to draw real people they look completely different from how they should be and my art style ends up totally skewed as well. Thanks in advance!

This is a tough skill to develop! but with some hard work and research you’ll be able to do it!!!

 My recommendation is to study professional caricature! Even if the end goal isn’t to do exaggerated crazy portraits of the the celebrity, studying the art form can help you learn to apply those concepts more subtly in your own style! 

The key element of caricature is studying a persons face and looking for what makes them unique or different from the ‘standard’ anatomical face model, eg how do their proportions stray away form the ‘rules’.

once you take note of these things experiment by exaggerating them in different ways through quick thumbnail sketches

They might not look like the person right away but keep experimenting! trial and error is your friend!!!

(for more info on Caricature the Proko youtube channel has a whole in depth series by Court Jones the artist above!  I  Highly recommend checking it out and the other lecture series the channel!)

Once you have done this research you can apply it to your style and design the celebrity just like the design team on Netflix’s BoJack Horseman designed Character actress Margo Martindale! She and many other celebrity cameo’s on the show look like themselves but also like they belong in the world of the show!

The final thought I want to leave you with is: don’t worry too much about art style or let it get in the way of learning new ways to draw. There is a lot of pressure on the internet to find your own unique art style and have everything be consistent all the time but this thinking can actually get in the way of your artistic growth if you focus on it too much or to early. 

I Personally dont care about consistency at all in my art, I design the style of the drawing based on the project (eg. am I  going to animate this character, is it an illustration, what age group am I targeting? what Genre? if you want to see examples of this I have plenty on my instagram)

I have a lot of feelings on the topic of art styles but I dont want this post to be essay length or take me a week to write so please watch this video by Kesh on youtube about it : Stop Trying to Find Your Art Style He talks about this issue way more clearly and concisely then I ever could!

Hope this Helps!!!

Gradient Textures + Simple Ocean Simulation (Blender)

something that i like to do when im strapped for creativity is to open up Blender and make a little stylized ocean wave sim, like these

they’re super simple, nice to look at, and if you add in a little something extra, like a boat or some fish or even some particle effects, it can turn into something really special.

it also takes like three minutes to make, so let’s get started.

Do you have any tips for drawing in the Pokemon style??

These are just some rough notes. I don’t draw that often in the pokemon style so these are a little more basic than I could give on other styles.

For colouring advice, this is a great resource to use: https://tunnaa-unnaa.tumblr.com/post/162328103349 It goes through the styles of different pokemon artists.

so playing andromeda and drawing kaleans got me thinkin’ on another minor complaint i have about ME and it’s this:

dang they can’t figure out how to make digitigrade legs work on a humanoid character and they end up adding extra joints to the legs to try to make it make sense

like i watched the animation cycle of that angara working out at the resistance camp and when he started doing crunches and his legs made an M shape i was just like smdh

i mean i think they handle it better with the angara since they have those weird little hand-feet (angara are so cute i cannot stand it) but the worst offender is probably the salarians

anyway i love the concept of humanoids with digitigrade legs so here’s some notes about it. it’s not beautifully formatted or anything but maybe it’s helpful!

basically the main thing to get out of your mind is that you’re not going for “backwards knees.” i am sure backwards knees could work and would be an interesting design, but it’s gonna change how this character moves and sits, it’s gonna affect the character’s center-of-gravity, it’s gonna be a much bigger overhaul of the anatomy than creating a digitigrade leg requires.

when you’re thinking of a digitigrade leg as having backwards knees, it’s probably because the joint you’re thinking of as the knee is actually the ankle

both plantigrade and digitigrade legs will have four major points of articulation: the hip the knee the ankle the toes and a digitigrade leg isn’t a plantigrade leg backwards, but on its tiptoes:

that’s basically all you gotta do! then you exaggerate the effects by changing the proportions of the leg, starting with making the knee-ankle length shorter, and the ankle-toe length longer.

the benefit of drawing digitigrade characters like this is that they can sit in chairs without looking ridiculous!

and finally, if your character doesn’t have paws or hooves or talons, they probably want to wear shoes! hell, even if they do they still might wear shoes. the ground is nasty! think this through and let it be another cool design opportunity. a good place to start if you’re stuck is looking at wedge heels, then drawing them without the heel!

aaaand here’s some aliens

now get outta here and draw some weird-ass legs aight
