I drew a little something for the Hiveworks micro comic summer~

How do you go about coloring your backgrounds? I manage to make linework I like but when it comes to coloring I'm usually overdoing it or doing too little, it doesn't blend with my characters well which makes me scared of full illustrations ;u;

Love your art and characters btw, much love ❤️

Oh it's always the scariest part of the art for me 😂

I'm comfortable drawing backgrounds, but I'm always weary of how they merge with the actual characters present and this is very much something I'm still trying to improve on. Here's some tricks I tend to follow:

-Try to keep your light source consistent. This isn't about keeping it realistic or forbidding yourself from taking artistic liberty, but try to at least create the illusion that the light sources in the drawing are coming at the environment AND characters from the same directions and are of a similar hue.

-Unless the background is the focus, try to either match OR keep it slightly less detailed than the characters themselves. This is so both you and the viewer of the art doesn't scrutinize it too much by having their attention be overly drawn to it.

Ignore the cutouts, had a layer mishap with the text but I already merged it. Left was supposed to say "FURTHER AWAY=LESS SHADING" LOL

-Add a solid-color layer over the whole picture in either Hard Light, Overlay, or Multiply mode to harmonize your colors and create a consistent ambience.

I hope this helps!

Haruspex: Where are the papers?

Bachelor: See the ashes over there, on the floor? Barely managed to do it before you arrived. Smart of me to burn them, rather than eat them. You’re a surgeon — you would have dug it out of my gut.

Haruspex: I would have.

Been rotating the idea of Daniil stabilizing his rifle on Temy's shoulder for months, and just ended up redrawing that one scene from Mad Max

IPL had to give these two a divorce arc, otherwise they'd be too strong of a power couple

You have the same dream every night It comes and goes around and around and around They call this a prophecy and you're almost inclined to believe it

But a prophecy of your own making is made with two hands And you will see to it that your being is made whole

"Making Nib Pens" Tutorial - Review

A couple of days ago, I reblogged a tutorial by f0rmaldehyde on deviantArt, where you can learn how to make your own Wacom tablet pen nibs. I’m a cheapskate and my pen was in need of nibs soon, so I thought, hey, why not. Here’s my review of the results.
