#art stuff again

Alrighty, here is a part two!

So you curious as to how I used shading and lighting? All secrets will be revealed…

So, the first step is clip a new layer above the prime. Color-drop any mid or dark color then set it to multiply. Adjust opacity to your liking:

Next, add another layer (this is a common theme), and use a soft airbrush using any mid color you want, then set it to multiply again. You can also adjust the opacity, too:

There. The shading section is done. Not so hard, right?

Now, add another clipped layer above the two multiply layers. Use the airbrush again, this time with a lighter color. Then set it to either add or screen:

This time, add another clipped layer, but place it under the add/screen layer.

Set it in overlay, and draw in areas of the character where the light touches, using a bright color and a technical pen brush:

Once you’re satisfied, blur the overlay layer with the Gaussian blur effect, about 4-6%. Adjust the opacity to your liking:

Then you merge all layers together, bottom to the top in that order.

And that’s the lighting section! But there’s still more.

So, this is where things get tricky. Duplicate your layer, and lower your top duplicate at least halfway. Then, use Gaussian blur on the bottom duplicate at about 5%:

Go back to the top layer, and adjust it with the gradient map. Choose one that works with you, play with the opacity:

Next, find a filter for the top layer. It could be whatever, as long as it’s not too bright or too dark. Then merge the layers again:

With the merged layer, use the sharpen tool and set it all the way to 100%. Finally, add in small details and any other filters:

Ta-Da!! Tutorial complete.

Hopefully this all makes sense in some way. Thanks for sticking around! 😁

Ambessa would make Vander more protective over the Lanes and she would also not shut about crushing Piltover with her help, how could Silco resist that?? Giant, muscular people arguing about revolution/kicking Pilties in the face? Oof, Silco, you are done for.

To be with you is to lose my self.

Something something about these two not being able to be happy together, or fit the other person's ideals unless they change themselves down to the fundamentals. Of course, Vani is a bit better on the understanding front. If this issue is ever worked on it's def Vani who'll put in the efforts first. Vani carrying the therapy sessions fr
