I found my old and beloved set of brushes (Which is namedsomething like "incredibly chaotic mess of endless brushes Neme uses") AND rediscovered a personal favourite and went to town exploring around and generally having a blast. This looks too "digital" for the soft, airburshed/watercolored look I wanted for this piece; but I like the effect, so, sharing before deleting. :P

Questions about whether a perfect-looking model could possibly be real will soon be answered more definitively in France, where new rules stipulate that some digitally altered images must come with a disclaimer.

The law says any models appearing in commercial photography whose bodies have been made thinner or thicker by image processing software must be accompanied by the notice of "photographie retouchée," or retouched photograph.

Failure to comply is punishable by a fine of more than $44,000, or 30 percent of the money spent on advertising.

France's former health minister, Marisol Touraine, initiated the idea,reports Le Parisien.

"It is necessary to act on body image in society to avoid the promotion of inaccessible beauty ideals and prevent anorexia among young people," Touraine said, according to the French daily. It reports that eating disorders affect some 600,000 people in France.

How do you do your mood lighting? I know what it is and does but I’ve got no idea how to figure out how to do it. Do you have any tips? I’m trying to improve my art and yours is always so pretty. I really love all your Freed stuff!❤️

Hi there!! Thank you for your kind words! 💕 I apologize for a quite late reply, but here we go now! 😅

Also gosh, those days when I was drawing Freed literally all the time 💚. I’m gonna use my mdzs art as examples though, because currently they’re the only wip files that I have on my laptop (and I kinda changed my coloring methods at this point in comparison with my FT art)

So by mood lighting I call the way I add some extra lighting and coloring once I do the main shading of the characters, to kind of make them blend more into the scene and make things more cohesive. 

This is how my layer tree usually looks like and the one I'm gonna describe here is the 3rd/general one - it's above both the character and background groups, so it affects everything.

One thing that I always like to do for mood lighting is to add a soft glow from where the light source is, since it makes things a bit more cinematic - I do it by using the Airbrush tool set to Luminosity/Addition with a bright color (name depends on the software you use, I use Paint Tool SAI) and lower the opacity until I get the result that I like. It's the same thing as I talked about here in this super old manga coloring tip.

You can do it just a little bit when you want the soft/tender mood or really intense for action stuff.

It's also nice to do this thing using the Overlay setting to kind of make the colors a bit more consistent. You airbrush the colors and adjust the layer settings to your liking.

A thing that I definitely recommend is to include bounce light in your art. It's essentially the light that gets reflected by the environment and falls back on the object opposite from the light source. Though in my case I often just turn it into a secondary light. I usually do warm main lighting, so I use cool colors for the shadows/bounce/second light.

And I do this by using a clipped layer to the folder with the characters and an Airbursh/Marker tool set to Luminosity or Overlay (it depends). [so technically this goes into my 2nd lighting category, since it only affects the characters]

I recommend watching some tutorials about how different types of lighting and shadows work, since personally I’m still learning all this and it’s still nice to hear what someone else also has to say. Here is a quite nice and simple one about the principles of shading + an example how to use it!

Alone these are quite subtle, but they quickly add up and if you mix and match these things you can get some nice results!

Vintage Simlish Graphics Tutorial

requested by @bloomful-ccfinds​​! <3

Things you need:

 photoshop

 pinterest

 washed & worn textures

simlish fonts

(optional) some text effect tutorials

Step 1:  Look up vintage shirts in Pinterest! I found this cute shirt with a nice simple design. I checked the original source and found a high quality photo of the design so this will be really easy to edit!

Step 2: Go to Photoshop and use Select > Color Range to remove the background. Since this the original image looks neat it’s not that difficult to edit, some designs may require a little bit more effort to edit though. I usually set my Fuzziness levels at 66, but you can adjust it to whatever number you like!

Step 3: Place the now background-less design in a dark background. You will see a lot of things to clean up with the eraser tool. To make this job easier, just select the background and it will automatically include these leftover pixels so you can erase them quickly.

Note: You don’t have to remove those white pixelated outlines, they only look noticeable when you have a dark background.

Step 4: Time for the fun part! Adding the Simlish fonts. First, duplicate your cleaned up design so if you have mistakes you have a back up! Then erase all the English text in the design and start adding your Simlish fonts! I mostly use Simlish Lengiza font!

The bottom part is easy to do since its just plain. The arched text however could be difficult to for beginners. Photoshop has a Warp text tool you will find above when selecting the Text tool and it gives you a lot of choices. I mostly use this tool but sometimes the arch style does not match the original design. 

But to get the desired effect above, follow this tutorial instead. 

Step 5: Adjust your text according to the original design! After adding the correct colors, I see that the text has a black outline so I just add a simple 1px stroke effect on my text. 

I also edited the spacing, and made the text Bold. You can do all of this in the Character panel! 

Step 6: Did you download the Washed & Worn textures at the beginning of the post? Make sure you do! 

Go to File > Place Embedded one of these in your file

Add a mask to your design by clicking this underlined button. 

alt+right click that tiny white box beside your simlish design layer and it will take you to a blank page. Paste the Washed and Worn texture in there, and alt+rick the box again to go back to your design. You will see now that it has the vintage worn effect!

If you don’t like how it looks, just right click the mask and use a soft White airbursh to erase some of the distressed parts.

This is what your layer should look like right now. The texture I used was “Washed and Worn 2.jpg”

Congratulations! You did it! Just remove the background and now you have a transparent png of your vintage simlish graphic you can paste on any of your CC textures!

Optional editing stuff: Use some adjustment layers to brighten up your graphic! I like using Vibrance and Color Gradients the most. I do this when some designs look really weird when I edit out the backgrounds because they were taken from t-shirts so the lighting may look weird. 

Hope you have fun making your own graphics! I also apologize if I’m bad at explaining lol. If you have any questions please leave me a message!

My ko-fi!💌
