Hello everyone! I have gotten a bunch of questions about coloring, so here are some things to think about!!!
A. One thing I have noticed that helps give your shapes a little pop is to give it super saturated lines where there are plane changes. On ledges and corners, experiment with how saturated your colors are! B/C. If you want to journey into changing your hues as you shade (please do!) think about which direction you are pulling your highlights and shadows in. They should be opposites! Highlights are warm- make your shadows cooler, and vice versa. D. Try to vary your saturation and value! Unless you have specific intent when making everything saturated, it can look very gaudy, and cause all the other colors on your page to loose their vibrancy. Try covering up “D” on your screen and notice how the other forms on the page become much brighter. E. What kind of lights are hitting your piece, and how does that change it? Be careful of how it affects your form. Notice how putting these specific colored lights on the form almost make it transparent, making it seem like a different material. F. What material is your object? Does it have dimples, textures, etc? Try to give your forms intentional materials and notice how light reacts to it!
hi guys today I made a tutorial on how to make my favorite art nouveau-y embellishments! these are a super fun and easy way to add a little emphasis to a drawing and you can make all kinds of designs once you get the basic flow! If you have any questions feel free to ask and let me know if there’s any kind of tutorial you’d like for me to make in the future !!!
recuva – accidentally deleted something in the recycling bin? recover it back with this program!
speccy – tells you the specs of your computer, among other things
defraggler – defrag the SHIT out of your hard drive and clean it right up
This is a great post what makes it even better is that most of these you can download from Ninite which will download and install the latest versions of all available software AT ONCE without worrying about adware or the annoying clutter (toolbars, changing your default search engine) that sometimes comes with their individual installers. So, yeah. Have at it folks.
don’t worry about making it super-accurate, just focus on the characteristic parts of the face and have fun
the outcome might not look like the ref, but it will be different and more varied than faces you draw out of your head, an dprobably pretty rad on its own right!
feel free to reblog with your drawing, if you want!
I got a good response on my last tutorial, and I want to thank all of you for that. I revived a handful of questions and requests on other subjects too, so, a least for a while, I’m going to post a new tutorial (or tutorial type thing) once or twice a month. If you left a question or request you’re on my list and I promise I’ll get to you, just be patient (these things are kind of involved to make). Also, if anyone else has a request, please feel free to comment and let me know!
i dont know how to respond to things abt smoky without sounding like a jerk about ‘young artists’ and shit flkfdlkg im a young artist too! you know what i do when im having trouble with a certain pose or body type or anything? i look up a reference! look! here’s some references right here
