Manga coloring

[haughty spire]

Heyo there, are you okay with me making a little edit so I can show you what I usualy do with auras?

[velvet canyon]

Sure would help alot

This is my second time experimenting with auras

Like I did do some auras for my oc yesterday

Think I did better this time

[haughty spire]

so what I would do is next

Darken the background, so the contrast is bigger

Blue color on multiply is what I;ve used

Then I selected the character, and inverse the selection
Soft brush around him and thinner white line on add/linear dodge

and a bigger soft brush in aura color, on hard light/overlay/vivid light, depends what works the best
I also used fingertip brush for aura shapes/tails

Oh other than that, I think the colors are great, really like the armor color and shade color

[velvet canyon]

I tried to do something like waves like that but wasn't too sure so stopped

This looks great btw

It might not fit the aura that I was going for but the tips help

[velvet canyon]

Its a manga character and I used the colors from the authors color pages

And messed around till it looked decent

Did the same character aroun a year ago like creating backgrounds smoke and stuff

I still can't live up to this coloring

U can see scratches here

[haughty spire]

Yeah it depends a lot on aura type, I just like to put high contrast on auras heh

Ooh that one is awesome, especially smoke 😮

[velvet canyon]

I like the aura u did would help alot for DBS characters

[velvet canyon]

Thanks, u can notice the scratches on the armour and stuff too

[haughty spire]

When I draw auras I like to take references from Solo Leveling (also a lot of contrast, thats why i like it)

[velvet canyon]

Oooh those auras are amazing damn

What app do u.use?

[haughty spire]

(those are not mine just to make it clear)
OpenCanvas and Photoshop (pc)

[velvet canyon]

Ik solo leveling

I was just using ibis paint to do.the aura dkmt have access to apps

[velvet canyon]

i have a question do u know how to composite?

[haughty spire]

What exactly are you refering to?

[velvet canyon]

one sec

[velvet canyon]

like filters for specific animes to get the look

such as one peice wano style

dragon ball z shintani style

and other anime styles that make it unique

like the line filter and sty

stugg

stuff

gojos eyes effects idk how they do these stuff

[haughty spire]

Well I didn't draw anime in a while, but I guess I could do that
