OH HELLO IM BACK （＾∀＾●）ﾉｼ

uuugh sorry for 3 month hiatus lmao (enjoy this lil drawing i made :D)

Ok RL update time: was busy with figuring out my finaid situation for college, then getting scammed by a dude and having to create a whole new bank account :( which ultimately just sucked the money from my wallet the motivation to draw out of me and then when i was pulling myself together, i was suddenly busy celebrating my friends being back home from their college (wooo!) and then my roommates and i were apartment hunting for college. We managed to find a decently cheap apartment (well as cheap as it can be for a city on the outskirts of LA lmao) and we finally got approved and accepted and signed the lease! Most of my college stuff is getting figured out and ive been getting more motivated to art and now i luckily have more free time on my hands too!

Ive been having more personal time now, so hopefully i can draw more fandom fanart (lately ive mostly been doing OC stuff but honestly idk if i want to include my OCs here or just keep it fandom only) I do have some bad news, my Summertime Comic will continue to be put on hiatus just cause i need to do more research :') Looking over my outline, i was very ambitious with the story and topics i wanted to juggle. I do want to make it relatively accurate well as accurate as it can be for a made up town inspired by 1970s Germany can be So i dont want to continue the story right now with my half assed research and possibly offend/possibly hurt anyone with my ignorance on these sensitive/political topics and worldbuilding. That being said, I understand hiatuses kinda suck so i might just create an alternate ending that strays away from these deeper topics and try to keep the plot strictly "Forger family reconciliation" just for the sake of having closure to the story, and then when i have more time to do ample research, I'll draw out the "true ending" of what i wanted to happen. Or I might even just take parts and pieces of the original plot and simplify it to make it more easy for me to draw and so it'll have the remnants of my OG vision of the story. I'm still undecided but i really really do like the story and i dont want to entirely abandon it :)

I think mentioned it in my last comic post that i already had the draft done of the next part and that is true, so now that i have more time ill clean up the linework on that part and post it at some point (hopefully by this month) ((let me give you a lil sneak peak. also ik it looks angsty but i swear its a sweet wholesome part with family feels <3))

Anyways TDLR: im back and i got most of my rl stuff figured out and i want to use the rest of my summer break to draw fun comfort fanart things that ik i wont have as much time for when i attend college. So yea get ready for an influx of fandom brainrot ผ(•̀_•́ผ) Hope yall enjoy the art and have a wonderful rest of the day and remember to stay hydrated in these hot summer days!

hI!! i love your art and was wondering if you could make a tutorial showing how you paint stuff? only if you can! it's just really pretty !!

hi nonnie! thats very flattering !! i’m sorry i dont think i’ll be very helpful bc i’m a mega noob as well :D but i’ll try my very best <3

my process is very tailored for speed instead of quality (oops soz LOL) so i do suggest this for if u have short doodle breaks ⬇️⬇️⬇️

thumbnailing (for comics) -> lines (sketch who?) -> bucket tool/color drop in the base color -> color in the lines -> one multiply layer for a “base” shadow (in the vid below its purple!) -> one (1) render/paint layer a.k.a lawless no man’s land

full rendering process & more general painting tips below the cut‼️

NOTE: i’ll be focusing more on traditional/fundamental tips for stylized art because i’m sure there’s a much more effective way in digital. I truly do only use one normal layer for render... i think this is bc before i made this blog, my only prior experience in drawing is middle school art class, so all i know is traditional painting on one layer.... pray i can answer this again in the future with something smarter lmao

🌺 MY PAINT PROCESS

1. Choose a color scheme!

It doesn’t have to be set in stone like below, but i at least keep in mind the color range i’d like to use depending on what i want to convey (ex. soft pastels for soft fluff, or warm colors for happy vibes). I try to be as limited as possible for base colors because I tend to go ham when painting, you’ll see later AHAHA

2. Base coloring + Base shadow

Base -> bucket tool in the color scheme (I know other artists are against this but when i discovered the bucket tool in digital art I immediately divorced manual coloring i’m sorry i loved you tho bae) (this is why my style and lines are simplistic as they are, so the color drop works!)

Base shadow -> in theory, warm-colored light creates cool-colored shadows and vice versa. because i’m a fluff addict i mainly use warmer light, so i like using blue/purple as the shadow. generally u can’t go wrong with complementary colors!! (yellow light & purple shadows / orange light & blue shadows).

I make a new multiply layer (decreased opacity just bc i like things soft okay) and clip it on the base layer, then block in the areas i think would get blocked from the light.

3. Color in the lines!

for simplistic styles i swear this works wonders. i just clip a layer to the lineart and manually color the lines with a darker but more saturated version of the base color. it just tends to look more dead i guess with low saturation lol (ex. u can see above i use both peach and red or pink for lines of skin, i guess it implies the blood under the skin too. or something :D)

4. RENDERRRR

when i’m not in a rush i just paint things completely (and mindlessly), but here are the things i almost always do:

line the shadows with a saturated color! i’m not sure this is common but i love it lol, in almost all my doodles just check the shadows—on the edges, there’s bound to be a wild color :D (usually its the light color, shadow color or a color scheme color but sometimes i’m just like boY do i loVe piNk)

my art major friend told me about saturated colors on desaturated bases and my life was changed forever lol. u can see below even when my base is very grayyy, my rendering is very gay :D ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

make the shadows darker where i think they should be darker. usually i can just colorpick from that darker, saturated lineart color!

if it’s a more realistic piece i usually make the highlights lighter, but in simple doodles i find it unnecessary, and i dont like how light/white it looks :( i tend to just make the areas exposed to light more saturated

color in the rebound light~ in reality there’s usually not only one primary light source, at least there’d be secondary light from where light bounces off objects. in art we just emphasize that! so in large shadow areas, or in areas close to other objects/colors, i like to ‘splash’ other colors on

yeah this part is less intuitive for beginners and u have to learn a grasp on the concepts over time, like for lighting and structure. values can be more important than color, so i do suggest learning shading first before coloring, but only if u like (u can always be like me and just pull up references when u dont get how the light would fall on some materials :>). i have more general paint tips below! don’t give up okay, i believe in u nons, we’re all still in the eternal learning process together ( •̀ᄇ• ́)ﻭ✧

5. OOOOHHH SHINY ✨🤩

this step is just me being mesmerized by how easy it is to play with lighting in digital. i play around with the layer settings (multiply for shadow, overlay for light, and often try out the other settings too!). my favorite effect is the highlight glow thing, where u just make a copy layer of the highlights below the original layer, and blur it slightly so it looks like glow ✨✨🤩 overpriced acrylic could never

6. COLOR ADJUST / EDIT

Truthfully i usually skip this step, but my more pro friends really vouch for it!! i think definitely an incredible thing with digital is that u can edit proportions and even color after you’re done. i think they usually use like the curves adjustment layer in photoshop until they get colors they like, but for me, well, in a reaally diligent day i like to slap on the “auto” fliter in the iphone’s photos edit button lmaoooo

🌺 GENERAL PAINTING TIPS

learn basic theory: i think theres free courses everywhere online, but heres a few things u might like to have a basic understanding of: color, perspective, shape language, lighting, composition. don’t sweat it too much tho, it should be fun to explore the concepts!

and for drawing hoomans: proportion, gesture, expression, and veery basic anatomy. i find that overall forms are so much more important to learn than like detailed anatomy bc u can always look it up lol

but remember, u mostly want to learn the rules so u know better ways to break them :)

uuuuse manyyyyy referencessss every time u draww!

^this includes other people’s art — when u see good stuff, figure out why u like it and apply it to ur own art

get feedback!!!!

draw tons!!! brainrot helps !! ;D

aaand thank u for coming to my ted talk! sorry for the ramble nonnie, i hope u got something out of this lol

[skylardoesthings]

Hello! I would love to hear about your AUs, so please can you tell me somethung about your, or one of your favourite AUs?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you have an ask-sideblog once? For a Hc x Undertale Crossover?

have lots of aus in my brain lmao mostly its just combinations of my brainrots.

Hm, i dont really have a favourite, but some aus im thinking about rn is my Pokemon trainer hermits au that sets in Kalos (which you can find here!),

but also i have a apocalypse mcyt au which ive been doodling and making little drabbles in the sidelines. and i think at one point i had a jrwi riptide idea that involves cleo at one point and its just there at the back of my mind? just chilling out?? yeah.

in general my pkmn au is probably my fully fleshed one. Its similar to the storyline in the anime, but none of the zits doesn't have the bond thing that ash and his greninja has

also for shits and giggles gem and pearl are only a couple years older than when they became trainers when they took over their respective gyms

-------

YEAHH AND HERMITTALE!! MY BELOVED!! i still think about that au from time to time, and my younger sibling keeps on annoying me about it as well (they helped me with designs and ideas lol)

i really wanna go back to it, maybe written instead of a comic.

shit really hit the fan with life then lol, with covid and me being in the middle of my tests back in my Junior High and needing to prepare for getting into my Vocational High School sorta made me overwhelemed and stressed and stuff.

i was really excited for that blog ngl, its sorta like the shared control au ppl have for DR/UT. The askers would act as like the player while xB is, well the character, and the past fallen are just there to be like guides (aka as the creators insert) and also an enabler lmao

also had lots of mcyts as side characters or side quest givers for ✨l o r e✨ or items and shit. me and my younger sibling had the designs and plot lines and stuff, our favourite one is Onion~san being iBillisticsquid, we just drew him (and the Shady Oaks SMP members too) a lot lmao

I really want to draw n write some more stuff for hermittale lol would still love to ramble abt it if anyone want to hear it

[skylardoesthings]

Hello, I'm here and I would like to hear about your AUs! Just any that you wanna talk about.

instead of one au im going to be rambling about... a lot of aus. cause i have school break (pls hope my grades are good-)

its gon' be under the cut because really, really long ramble lmao

anyways have my current brainrot becuase it fts my current faves- its a gods + immortals au, i have some designs buuutttt some of the drawings are bad, then again whatever have 'em

theres 4? i think? more designs i need to make for the gods lol. and i have like... 8 designs to make for the immortals

Jevin, The Bookkeeper/Storyteller

Pete, The blacksmith

Fruit, The Combatant

Sausage, Angel of Life

Phil, Angel of Death

Cub, Wizard’s apprentice

Jimmy, The Advisor 

Fwhip, The Innovator

thing about this au is that i want to make them as human as possible. idk thats just how i like to make aus, i want them to feel real and alive. they have flaws, they have ups and downs, fears n anxieties, interests and dislikes, etc!!

its so easy to make them so powerful and all mighty and shit, and they are, just when its needed. other than that, they're not. they're just people havin' fun.

these lads aren't perfect but they're perfect to me :]

--

I've mentioned this au every once and awhile, its the dnd au, but like, the hermits is the dnd group playing the game, Joe is the DM the rest is the players,

another au i've mentioned before is the RPG au, its literally an RPG game. characters are Wels, xB, Jev + Hypno because they're my faves as you can probably tell. Heres a quick doodle of them :]

i think i've showed this doodle before-

-- I had this crack au idea about JRWI: Riptide with, hc. because Jay Ferin reminds me a lot of s6 Cleo.

also, speaking of JRWI, thinking about PD and a BNHA au, i dont have anough brain cells to make stuff up for that though

(btw, go watch JRWI, its a cool dnd podcast. also while we at this pls go watch Eqqo, he does really cool builds)

--

I think those are my current aus in my head

do i have writing for it? yeah, my brain loves to make these little movie/camera scene type thing??? and i've been trying to get it out, and so i've been writing all my ideas and stuff down, even if it won't be finished.

Or sometimes I'd draw/animate it. Depends on the time i have and my mood really,

oh and hermittale is still in the works, i just need to get all these aus out of my head first haha. i'll post some doodles of this au soon tho!!
