#

Heh, back then i caused a quite controversy by lowering the quality of my artstyle, yet it turns out i discovered another artstyle

stuck robin
#

what was your art like before you "lowered the quality"?

unborn granite
#

back to my point: noses eat πŸ’©

pastel iris
#

And yeah, that is the end product of 'lowering the quality'

unborn granite
#

tHATS LOW QUALITY??!?

#

fake

#

I refuse to believe

pastel iris
#

I dont call it low quality jun

unborn granite
#

Thank god bc i would fight u

stuck robin
#

OOO like the emily and abigail??

pastel iris
#

I mean lowering the quality of your artstyle doesnt mean your art is still considered low quality afterwards

unborn granite
#

That art style precious 😭

pastel iris
#

Because in the end, people will judge it, not mine

unborn granite
#

Its so cute~

pastel iris
#

It was drawn so quick without thinking on references, anatomy rule, etc

#

Even there is rule of anatomy in chibi

gloomy turtle
#

#

i believe u can overcome this harsh struggle ✌️

primal spear
#

you're such an art god my goodness

#

I love your style

unborn granite
#

if u want my feedback, id recommend making the part of the hand connecting to the arm a bit more rounded

#

so it gives off more of a thin effect in the wrist

pastel iris
#

Thanks sage, its still experimental style tho

#

Not stable yet

crude crag
#

xd the reference was my hand and I don't have a wrist owo

unborn granite

pastel iris
#

Lol most of hands I draw is always based on my own hands as well πŸ˜†

#

Be it man or woman characters

unborn granite
#

i try to refference from pics when possible, but when the perspective, pose is too complex i just do the same lmao

#

all this talk about drawing has gotten me in the mood for it~

pastel iris
#

Hell, complex poses SDVpuffersweats

primal spear
#

today is the first day of my second quarter and I have no time for drawing sadly because turns out they decided to make it harder

pastel iris
#

Would be better if you have 3d model app for that or just google at least poses thats close to it

unborn granite
#

I try i try

#

I also wanna pick up a faster pace when drawing

#

Wanna make a comic someday

#

But it will probs never happen bc of my pessimism

This is the abomination, born during the 1st day after I bought my wacom one small

steady plover
#

That's better than anything I've ever done

pastel iris
#

I mean most artists kinda see things like that cake

#

As if my art feels inferior to someone elses

steady plover
#

Yeah but unless it's pixel art my art sucks

unborn granite
#

This is like 2 months on digital with mouse

steady plover
#

Aqua?

unborn granite
#

Lapis~

steady plover
#

DAMIT

#

That's my fault

pastel iris
#

That is certainly better than the abomination I draw

#

No chicken scratches

unborn granite
#

Look at the hands

steady plover
#

I haven't watched Steven universe in agesss

#

Aggeeeees

unborn granite
#

Steven universe future was depressing

#

Depressingly good

#

Guess stevo isnt a kid anymor :(

tawny lynx
#

Bit late to the convo, but Aiku's pretty good, as long as the style consistency can be taken care of.

steady plover
#

@unborn granite I didn't really like future
It wasent good nor bad
I think it's more comparing it to the original and all the hopes I had for it

#

I had to high expectation

pastel iris
#

Well 1 year of bloody sacrifices cake lmao

unborn granite
#

I mean i liked future bc of thw character arc and growth

steady plover
#

Fair

#

The new fusions where the best part

unborn granite
#

How it treats infantilization, growing up and stuff

pastel iris
#

And this is the price of that 1 year struggle : one hell of acid reflux

unborn granite
#

Otherwise its just a depressing version of the original

pastel iris
#

You have no idea how many cups of coffee i drink during that intensive training

steady plover
#

Lol

#

@pastel iris How Many

pastel iris
#

Highest record is around 10 cups a day

#

Instant coffee

Well you better not follow my way that fot sure cake lmao

steady plover
#

I just saw an add that made me think of a toy story esk thing set in a carnival with stuff prizes

#

@pastel iris I Don't Need The Coffee

pastel iris
#

Having acid reflux is not fun at all

steady plover
#

Usually I stay up for 24+ hours at a time and that's normal

#

Sometimes half a week with no sleep
once a whole week

pastel iris
#

Tell that to my heartburns i have almost every single day

steady plover
#

I have severe insomnia
Frequent night terrors
Frequent and physical sleep praylsis
So I don't need anything to keep me awake lol

#

Doesn't help that everyone is so fking loud and the dogs are almost always in my bed

pastel iris
#

Well one thing for sure you better not continuously staying up all night the moment you reached 20s

steady plover
#

Right now I'm like 22 hours without sleep

#

I'm gonna have to force myself to sleep tonight
Hopefully that goes well

pastel iris
#

Because its starting to affect your blood pressure

unborn granite
#

Can i just drop in to say: voltron is hot

steady plover
#

If I force myself to sleep and have a night terrors or sleep praylsis and wake up I usually can't fall back asleep

pastel iris
#

I mean like

#

What matter is you have enough sleep in a day

steady plover
#

My sleep is probably like 10 hours per 48 hours

pastel iris
#

Doesnt really matter when you sleep, although it is better if you sleep at night than in daytime

#

Wait why are we talking about health stuff

#

My god this is creative discussion channel lmai

steady plover
#

Creative health stufg

pastel iris
#

Just be sure you stay hydrated and have enough sleep

#

Not like forcing you to sleep at night

steady plover
#

Have enough sleep probably won't happen but I drink alot of water

pastel iris
#

I mean the reason i say sleeping in nigjt is about your productivity

#

Lots of people's active during daytime than nighttime

steady plover
#

I'm 13 so other than schoool

pastel iris
#

So not really about health stuff

unborn granite

WHY AIKU SDVsadcat2

#

u learn about animals

pastel iris
#

roblox, club penguin, and now animal jam

#

my god lmao

still field
#

yeah LMAO

#

u learn about animals
i used to like it for that but the facts aren't exactly that interesting anymore

#

if only national geographic was still with em, that would be cool

pastel iris
#

at least trading it with dota or LoL skins could be better

urban nexus
#

ah is that why? ye the facts are mostly interesting for younger audience

still field
#

i mean yeah

pastel iris
#

animal jam, seriously

urban nexus
#

(also this is kinda offtopic from creative;;)

still field
#

also

#

it's good to note animal jam items are not allowed to be traded with things that arent in aj

#

so

pastel iris
#

I've seen someone who offered free lunch, that's even still better than animal jam items lmao

still field
#

technically this kid is also disobeying the rules LOL

pastel iris
#

as far as I know, real world trading in game is usually illegal

still field
#

yeah

#

it is

pastel iris
#

like selling accounts or in-game items that's bought from other user instead of official game stord

still field
#

yeah some people sell AJ items for real money

the AJ staff probably doesn't even care anymore

Anime female desgins>male

just over all I just think there desgins have more to them, while male desgins are typically more generic, while females have more expressive figures in the anime desgin.
And no don't you dare say something along the lines of "you mean the chest" becuase that's not it

tawny lynx
#

No I get what you mean.

steady plover
tawny lynx
#

Oh dang.

bleak bloom
#

not bad

steady plover
#

So basically long story short
anime + pen/pencil on paper
Or pixel art

bleak bloom
#

i like the eyes on that junimo at the top. The digital one.

steady plover
#

That was my first time drawing anime eyes in color
I've worked alot on sketches since then so I think I could do better

bleak bloom

Thats cool.
Makes it more impressive then, if it was the first time.

Is anyone a member of a sdv server that focuses more on fan content? Like art, comics, and fics?

#

And fan theory** I almost forgot

grand cave
#

W-wha? We’re the official partnered Stardew server, dunno of any others. We focus heavily on fan content! #art-gallery is specially only for Stardew related art.

tawny lynx
#

We're pretty much your best bet, unless you count the relevant tags on Tumblr, assuming people tag their posts consistently.

urban nexus
#

you could always start your own!

I dont think its a weird question, there are lots of 'spin-off' servers for fandom stuffs.

#

Pixel art is always my best work
That's why i want to do digital

#

Honestly whatever you practice you’re gonna get better at. So I guess it’s more which you like better

#

Like some people draw some crazy complicated stuff with nothing but a mouse and I’m like πŸ‘€

There are a few poses close to what I'm looking for from Saber
But nothing I really want

@lament turtle let's move discussion here but what i said in creative channel is still what i think

#

I'm gonna go to sleep rn

#

it's 2:36 am haha

#

ok!

#

goodnight

#

sleep well

tropic halo
#

i need art programs that will probably kill my PC but oh well
@velvet sun sai is good

grand cave
#

Yes
sai is beautiful

tropic halo
#

i use it for my sketching and line art

#

then i colour in clip studio paint

velvet sun
#

sai is so fucking expensive though?

tropic halo
#

;3

#

you could probs invest in csp instead

#

since its around the same price i think

#

and csp is way better

#

but i personally hate csp for lineart
makes me feel restricted

pastel iris
#

csp pencil tool is not that different to sai actually

tropic halo
#

its not the tools themselves for me

pastel iris
#

if you prefer being practical and easy just go all out csp

tropic halo
#

cause csp has nice brushes

#

i just
find it heavy

#

and idk why

#

its just so weird to use for me

mossy leaf
#

you could always adjust them or download custom brushes

tropic halo
#

ik
ive done that

#

it just feels weird

#

or now im blamin gmy computer

#

for being old and slow

pastel iris
#

not all sai brushes can be adjusted and imported to csp tho

tropic halo
#

i dont have any sai custom brushes

#

i use the defaults

#

if i want a bit of a texture change then i change the layer texture to paper

pastel iris
#

oh im talking about the stabilizer lmao

tropic halo
#

ahhhhhh

#

i dont use a stabilizer much any more

#

i like the loose free feeling i get without it

pastel iris
#

I tried my best to make exact same sai pencil tool with stabilizer in csp and fails lol

#

in the end I forced myself to adapt with default CSP pencil tool anyway

tropic halo
#

the pencil brushes ive found for csp are so ugly

#

i just want something with a lil bit of texture

#

just a little

mossy leaf
#

you can add texture to brushes

tropic halo
#

im probably gonna have to mess around with csp for a bit

#

but for right now
i cant get sexy lineart in it

pastel iris
#

I'm simply far too lazy to mess with CSP brushes, too many customisations πŸ˜†

mossy leaf
#

it will take awhile to understand what all the settings for brushes do, but once you understand them all you can customize a brush to your hearts content

tropic halo
#

i want a simple
lightly textured pencil brush

#

what i really wanna change is the minimum size

#

csp brushes go so small and light with little pressure its crazy

mossy leaf
tropic halo
#

ive done that

#

isnt there a way to change the minimum size of a brush in csp?

mossy leaf
#

let me check

tropic halo
mossy leaf
#

yep you can

#

it's quite easy actually

tropic halo
#

:O

#

teach me pls

mossy leaf
#

you go to the brush you want then press the rectangle on the right of Brush Size Then you will see Brush Size dynamics then you simply uncheck Pen pressure

#

or you can manually put in the value's

#

minimum and maximum as you can see

tropic halo
#

ah yes
thank you very much

velvet sun
#

i find drawing with a pencil easier,,

mossy leaf
#

yeah drawing with a physical pencil is much easier than drawing digitally

tropic halo
#

i hate traditional art
i havent dont it since i left highschool

#

i dont plan to ever do it again

mossy leaf
pastel iris
#

there's no ctrl+z when traditional draw SDVpuffersweats

#

PS : I don't count eraser and white pencil lol

tropic halo
#

traditional art didnt go well for me

#

at all

mighty bronze
#

I agree with Micko, still need to get used to the tablet

#

again*

tropic halo
#

id make a mistake
get frustrated
try to erase it

#

then id get even more frustrated when it didnt erase properly

#

then id end up ripping up the whole thing

mighty bronze
#

don't be afraid to use the eraser, that means you know you did things wrong and will train you to do better blobcatgooglyupsidedown

tropic halo
#

i'll stick to my ctrl + z

#

it hasnt failed me yet

velvet sun
#

hh i fucking suck at both digital and traditional art though lmao

mossy leaf
#

being able to draw on physical paper takes quite a lot of skill

velvet sun
#

i dont have the money to buy any art supplies

mighty bronze
#

Idk, I feel like traditional is easier since there is where I started

#

you need only pen and paper

#

ez

velvet sun
#

nah it looks shit when i do it like that

mighty bronze
#

ah, do get a sketchbook tho

#

now now, ima try to do Marceline and Marshall lee portraits because a friend asked me to, it's such a good idea! didn't do any in a while and I like these characters

velvet sun
#

fuck i just broke my pencil

mossy leaf
#

oof

tropic halo
#

traditional art is so expensive

unborn granite
#

I mean i draw completely different when i do trad/digital

#

I like digital better tho~

velvet sun
#

hh sai is way too expensive for me like,, what

unborn granite
#

I feel more in control

mighty bronze
#

"expensive" Ima just use my brother's colors kekw

unborn granite
#

Theres a bunch of good softwares for free

#

Theres no good paints for free

velvet sun
#

ive never heard of any though

unborn granite
#

Firealpaca, medibang

velvet sun
#

lol i only draw sketches that i dont colour

mighty bronze
#

if you have the chance do get CSP on sale, it's worth the shot

unborn granite
#

Csp?

mighty bronze
#

Clip Studio

unborn granite
#

Ohhh

#

That animation program

tropic halo
#

if you have the chance do get CSP on sale, it's worth the shot
@mighty bronze yeah thats true

#

it can go down to like

unborn granite
#

With the big watermark πŸ‘€ πŸ’¦

tropic halo
#

25 bucks

velvet sun
#

hhh the only problem is the fact that i (for some reason??) am not really allowed to use my own money, and instead have to ask my parents

tropic halo
#

csp has a watermark?

unborn granite
#

Maybe in thinking of another program

#

But it was clip smth

tropic halo
#

csp is a paid program
would be pretty scummy of them to add a watermark

mighty bronze
#

after I paid around 180 $ for my tablet mom was like "boi, don't even dare to tell your dad about this!" but like it's my money so lmaoooo

pastel iris
#

traditional art is good if you make less mistake

tropic halo
#

$60 tablet gang

pastel iris
#

you waste more money the more erasing or any kind of undos

#

unless if you're only using pencil as media

tropic halo
#

i dont have the patience for traditional art

#

probs why i did so much mixed media in school

mighty bronze
#

I started to like mechanical pencil again

tropic halo
#

just paste on some leaves and make up some bullshit artist statement and call it a day

pastel iris
#

that moment when you have client for traditional commissions, and they said "can you change the tree to pile of rocks plz" after you've colored everything with brush

velvet sun
#

h

mighty bronze
#

charge some more smh

#

You do give them the sketch and ask if they want to change anything!

#

beforehand detailing things

velvet sun
#

why is pencil broken all i did was draw a line

tropic halo
#

bro how would you even fix that

#

just like
paste a piece of paper over it?

velvet sun
#

idk but i managed to break it clean in half

#

it's a mechanical pencil

mossy leaf
#

nani

#

did it explode in half or did it just snap?

unborn granite
#

I love mechanical pencil only if the lead is soft

velvet sun
#

snap

unborn granite
#

2b good

mossy leaf
#

man thinking about explosions reminds me one time when I was replacing a lamp bulb and when I turned it on, it exploded right in front of me

#

ever since then I never stand close to a light bulb when I change it and turn it on

velvet sun
#

medibang pain

unborn granite
#

Wh

#

Medibang goodie

#

Perspective tools are ez to use

mossy leaf
#

Clip studio paint's perspective tools are complex

unborn granite
#

And the rest is just basic software stuff

tropic halo
#

i hate medibang
i used it once
did one artwork in it
and hated it

unborn granite
#

:(

tropic halo
#

same with krita
freaking gross

pastel iris
#

krota SDVpuffersweats

tropic halo
#

i stuck to fire alpaca til i got sai

#

now im in the csp gang

unborn granite
#

Firealpaca and medibang are practically the same thoe πŸ‘€

#

I mained both

tropic halo
#

yeah

#

but medi bang is ugly

unborn granite
#

Dark 😼

pastel iris
#

you can tell how much struggle I have with krita lol

unborn granite
#

I live on dark mode

tropic halo
#

csp has nice dark mode

pastel iris
#

simply search "krita.exe" in this server lol

velvet sun
tropic halo
#

it looks so sleek now
i love it

#

i just need to get used to it so i can use it for lineart

unborn granite
#

Aint that bad thoe

#

Cute

exotic snow
#

might be a weird discussion here but, I'm trying to improve my clothing shading and I'm trying to do it like this; can anybody tell me how this shading is done? cuz it looks like a mixture of soft brushing and soft erasing to me but idk exactly how

pastel iris
#

how is that weird discussion amaryn, you're in right place lol

#

one thing for sure that's even a better shading than I do

tropic halo
#

i would assume its a lot of looking at references

exotic snow
#

this shading is godly tbh at least imo

tropic halo
#

see how cloth works in differnt light and stuff

mossy leaf
#

that kind of shading is very complex

tropic halo
#

then try to recreate that using proper hard and soft shading

#

but idk
i dont shade like that

#

i barely even shade

unborn granite
#

I use shell shading for everything

#

Even coloring

mossy leaf
#

you have to have a deep understanding on how light works and how it reflects on certain material to be able to do that kind of shading

exotic snow
#

i see at least 3 layers of shading on that one

tropic halo
#

shell...shading?

unborn granite
#

Its like

pastel iris
#

you mean cell?

unborn granite
#

Yeah

#

English go brrrr

pastel iris
#

no worries lel

tropic halo
#

oooooooooooooooooooooooo

#

i was confused

exotic snow
unborn granite
#

πŸ‘‰ πŸ‘ˆ

mossy leaf
#

I believe there are 3 layers
Layer 1 is Colour
Layer 2 is Shading
Layer 3 is Gradient

tropic halo

damn
hot manhwa boys

unborn granite

AAAAAA IM SIMPING

exotic snow

yeah the screenshot i sent is official in-game art and my art is just fanart for the game lmao

omg

exotic snow

i have like, folders within folders within folders

tropic halo

i used to use a fuck ton of layers

#

Hmm there's a lot of shade going around here

unborn granite
exotic snow
#

oooo thats so cute

pastel iris
#

oh wait I think its 600

tropic halo
#

i used to have multiple layers for sketches and lineart

pastel iris
#

even my CSP starts to lag when I open that file

tropic halo
#

because i was so scared of merging and messing someting up

exotic snow
#

i have a sketch folder and a lineart folder

tropic halo
#

but ive gotten more confident

#

so i just merge everytihng when im done

pastel iris
#

my lineart and sketch folder is combined

#

as long with base colours + shades

exotic snow
#

so i just merge everytihng when im done
@tropic halo i can never

tropic halo
#

its easier to adjust like that

exotic snow
#

not even when im finished rendering

tropic halo
#

i wanna try one layer painting

exotic snow
#

i just merge to new layer and keep all the originals in a backup folder

tropic halo
#

but i have to learn how to paint first

unborn granite
#

I only need 4 layers

  • sketch
  • lineart
  • coloring
    -shading (multiply)
tropic halo
velvet sun
#

i just said fuck it

tropic halo
#

the colouring is when it starts to go down hill

unborn granite
#

But

tropic halo
#

i usually make a new layer for every section i colour

exotic snow
#

i usually make a new layer for every section i colour
@tropic halo me too, new layer for each part

unborn granite
#

I feel like u should turn down the min size

#

U dont seem to be getting much line variation

exotic snow
#

my layers usually look like this before i start colouring
@tropic halo damn, refs? i havent used references for so long i-

unborn granite
#

If any

tropic halo
#

i use a lot of references

exotic snow
#

i only use refs for weapons

pastel iris
exotic snow
#

guns knives etc

mossy leaf
#

relatable

tropic halo
exotic snow
#

mine's labyrinth
@pastel iris you're just like me lmao

pastel iris
#

sometimes I tend to forget renaming my layers

unborn granite
#

One thing i cant stand is how folders look in photoshop

tropic halo
#

i try my best to name them

unborn granite
#

I can never tell when smth is inside them

mossy leaf
tropic halo
#

cause if i dont
im gonna end up hurting my brain

exotic snow
unborn granite
#

WHOa

exotic snow
#

I finally finished the shading for half the cloths SDVpuffersmile
@mossy leaf oo looking good

unborn granite
#

WHY SO MANY LAYERS

#

HOW

exotic snow
#

ASDJFLADSFJ IDK

tropic halo
#

ive started to merge a lot
so i dont really end up with many layers anymore

mossy leaf
#

Ama... you really need to combine layers

unborn granite
#

I never go over 20 even for complex stuff

pastel iris
#

I'm not that detailed like amaryn lol

exotic snow
#

Ama... you really need to combine layers
@mossy leaf i cant,,, i physically cannot bring myself to do it

tropic halo
#

lots of layers become over whelming to me

exotic snow
#

i just use folders

pastel iris
#

you still name the layers

mossy leaf
#

The more layers there is the longer it takes to render the final image into a png file

grand cave
#

I used to use 30-40 layers just for my sketches

exotic snow
#

so i can collapse them and then they will look like a layer ajdslfja

tropic halo
#

i end up putting shit on the wrong layer

#

then i get mad and delete the whole thing

#

gd what-

mossy leaf
#

Why do humans need so many layers

exotic snow
#

The more layers there is the longer it takes to render the final image into a png file
@mossy leaf it takes around 10-20 secs for me its ok i can wait

mossy leaf
#

30-40?!?!?!?!

tropic halo
#

i use like 2 or 3 max

unborn granite
#

FOR A SKETCH

grand cave
#

Every single individual detail was put on a seperate layer so I didn’t stress about fucking it up

unborn granite
grand cave
#

πŸ˜…

mossy leaf
#

This is pure insanity

tropic halo
#

and i end up merging them when im confident it looks nice

pastel iris
#

what is the purpose of naming your layer anyway, as long you have good memory 🀣

tropic halo
#

Every single individual detail was put on a seperate layer so I didn’t stress about fucking it up
@grand cave for me that would be more stressing

unborn granite
#

Folder: hand
Layers: 84

exotic snow
#

what is the purpose of naming your layer anyway, as long you have good memory 🀣
@pastel iris bruh i can NEVER not name my layers when i go into into the piece

tropic halo
#

gd probs has a layer for each finger

unborn granite
#

Each knuckle

exotic snow
#

and i end up merging them when im confident it looks nice
@tropic halo but.. but what if you regret it

tropic halo
#

this hand is probably the best ting ive ever drawn and iwill never draw anything like it again

#

@tropic halo but.. but what if you regret it
@exotic snow i wont

pastel iris
#

I only name some key layers, usually folders or base colours

tropic halo
#

its a sketch i just erase the bits i dont like and do it over

pastel iris
#

shades and lightings? what even for 🀣

mossy leaf
tropic halo
#

it can be messy as hell
its just a sketch

unborn granite
exotic snow
#

this is my layers for my current drawing
@mossy leaf o brrrr two layers for shading? cant relate

#

My magnum opus
@unborn granite some da vinci art right here

unborn granite
#

That was a funny day in class

pastel iris
grand cave
#

gd probs has a layer for each finger
@tropic halo yes I still do this

pastel iris
#

good luck telling what layer is that

mossy leaf
#

200?!?!?!??!?!?!?

tropic halo
#

omg i was joking-

pastel iris
#

lmao

mossy leaf
#

muybrainaaaaaaaaaa

exotic snow
#

wtf-

#

my layer numbers never go beyond 10 even when i didnt name them what-

tropic halo
#

why
just.... why

#

and how?

pastel iris
#

well I reached 550s unnamed layers ama

exotic snow
#

and LOOK AT THE SCROLL BAR LMAOOO

mossy leaf
#

jesus

pastel iris
#

my top record so far

mossy leaf
#

I feel like screaming now

tropic halo
#

sweet jesus

unborn granite
#

Anxiety

tropic halo
#

i usually get to around
20 or so layers

pastel iris
#

as I said before

#

my layering system is hell of a labyrinth 🀣

tropic halo
#

if that much

#

cause i merge a lot

exotic snow
#

especially with all the clipping, i could just accidentally move one layer and then boom colour spill

mossy leaf
#

imagine creating a layer everytime you make a new stroke with a brush

exotic snow
#

oi nah

pastel iris
tropic halo
#

i do that sometimes for tedious stuff
so i can adjust it and transform without affecting the other stuff
i do it mainly for lineart
but i always merge after

pastel iris
#

there's still more folders 🀣

mossy leaf
#

ohgod

exotic snow
#

why do you not put all the characters in one folder

unborn granite
#

I used to do each color in a different layer

#

Now i just put em in one

pastel iris
#

come now amaryn, if you put all character in one folder, it's even more confusing

mossy leaf
#

thisispurepain

#

aaaaa

tropic halo
#

ive worked with all the colours on one layer
i kinda like it
i end up using the magic wand if i want more detailed stuff for shading

pastel iris
#

I mean there's already heck ton of layers in 1 character

tropic halo
#

but i feel more secure with a colour per layer

pastel iris
#

you're suggesting to combine em? πŸ˜†

exotic snow
#

i dont trust the magic wand

pastel iris
#

magic wand is meh

exotic snow
#

theres always missed pixels

tropic halo
#

can always go back and adjust

unborn granite
#

If theres lineart it doesnt matter

pastel iris
#

I'm still drawing manually

tropic halo
#

or expand the pixels

unborn granite
#

If the wand takes the color layer

exotic snow
#

clipping is my only friend

unborn granite
#

And not the lineart layer that is

tropic halo
#

ive started to colour stuff in by hand tho

mossy leaf
#

good

tropic halo
#

instead of using the fill tool

mossy leaf
#

the fill tool is very meh

exotic snow
#

i use lasso fill

pastel iris
#

or sometimes I converted the file to psd in order to use krita selection tool

tropic halo
#

i mean
you can always use it
then adjust it

#

colour over the messed parts

pastel iris
#

then return it back to csp

tropic halo
#

i save everything i do in psd

#

cause i use both sai and csp when i do art

pastel iris
#

I used to do the same when I'm still using sai+krita nae lel

exotic snow
#

i used krita for like, one event art for the server and uninstalled it lmao

tropic halo
exotic snow
#

sai was kinda hard to get used to so i just stick with csp

pastel iris
#

and that's why I stopped krita

exotic snow
#

clipping is my best friend
@tropic halo yes someone who understands me

tropic halo
#

sai was kinda hard to get used to so i just stick with csp
@exotic snow legit the opposite for me

exotic snow
#

and that's why I stopped krita
@pastel iris oh? i've never had that problem tho, the brushes and response rate were just low for me

tropic halo
#

csp is hard to get used to so i mainly stick to sai

exotic snow
#

lmao

pastel iris
#

oh and I'm working in 3k+ resolution amaryn

exotic snow
#

sai's UI is too simple for my taste imo

pastel iris
#

that is also the reason 🀣

exotic snow
#

oh and I'm working in 3k+ resolution amaryn
@pastel iris i work 5500*6500 most of the time

tropic halo
#

i remember trying krita
i couldnt even draw a proper circle
it was so janky

pastel iris
#

my PC is potato

tropic halo
#

sai's UI is too simple for my taste imo
@exotic snow i like how simple it is

exotic snow
#

i wanted to like it but-

tropic halo
#

almost al my current works are 3500 * 3500

#

i like working in a square

pastel iris
#

drawing a circle, jeez

exotic snow
#

i remember trying krita
i couldnt even draw a proper circle
it was so janky
@tropic halo YES

pastel iris
#

circular selection tool exists

exotic snow
#

or just, big round brush, erase the middle

pastel iris
#

unless you're doing this trick

exotic snow
#

broh

#

mad skills

tropic halo
#

i like drawing my circles by hand

exotic snow
#

me too

tropic halo
#

i dont like when its too perfect looking

exotic snow
#

like sketchy soft pencil circles

tropic halo
#

not my style

pastel iris
#

I'm using pencil tool as well, but I'm still using perfect circle as the guide

exotic snow
#

but these days i dont really use circles anymore come to think of it

pastel iris
#

so in a nutshell : I'm tracing it

exotic snow
#

i just pop the face in

#

the head shape i mean

#

oh speaking of tracing

#

what do you guys think it's alright to trace and what isn't? obvs other people's work isn't but what else?

pastel iris
#

tracing a circle is totally okay ofc

#

jk lol

tropic halo
#

i dont use guidelines much anymore

pastel iris
#

well tracing is totally okay if you're not posting your work that for sure

tropic halo
#

i justlike
do the face shape
then i add the lil cross to get the position of the eye nose mouth and ears

pastel iris
#

I mean online, even though you credit the artist

tropic halo
#

thats about it

exotic snow
#

^ yeah sure i get what you mean, as in learning art

#

sometimes i'll trace 3d car models if i want to quickly get the shapes right but thats about it i think

#

like complex 3d objects

pastel iris
#

tracing someone's art is worse crime compared to stealing someone's artstyle

tropic halo
#

artstyle theft is a thing?

velvet sun
#

i have commited 17 war crimes over the past week

exotic snow
#

well technically all artstyles are mixtures of other artstyles sooo

tropic halo
#

yeah

#

if art style theft is a thing then in the end we're all just stealing god's art style

pastel iris
#

sadly amaryn, there are some artist who's so entitled to themselves

exotic snow
#

but ofc if you took too much inspo from one artstyle then your art might end up looking too much like the original

pastel iris
#

as if stealing artstyle or copying even with permission is bad in general lol

tropic halo
#

i dont think its a ting

pastel iris
#

ironically, it's from this server, not gonna name the artist themselves but hopefully they'd be better realize what are we talking about

exotic snow
#

imo its acceptable if you just decide to do, e.g. highlights like this one artist, or use the same lineart tech as this one artist etc.

tropic halo
#

cause everyone is inspired by someone
theres little aspect to other people's art that you like

exotic snow
#

oh? tea

velvet sun
#

tea.

exotic snow
#

are we going to some shading here

velvet sun
#

HHHh medibang sucks so,,, what are the other art programs that are free?

mossy leaf
#

everyone here has committed 100+ war crimes

#

there was one that was free and I can't remember it's name

#

let me find it

tropic halo
#

fire alpaca

mossy leaf
#

Krita

tropic halo
#

krita is ass dont touch it

velvet sun
#

ew krita

exotic snow
#

autodesk sketchbook? idk it doesnt even have clipping what am i even on about

tropic halo
#

ik this great artist that uses sketchbook

pastel iris
#

indeed nae, I really doubt an artist nowdays able to create a style without referencing the others

tropic halo
#

her stuff is so sexy

exotic snow
#

autosketch is more for like.. uh, determined artists

tropic halo
#

my "artstyle" is just a mixture of stuff ive seen and liked

exotic snow
#

^ same

pastel iris
#

same as you are

velvet sun
