#but i dont see tutorials for lineart artstyles a lot

[thegradus2]

if anyone happens to know any good tutorials on how to draw microlocks for someone w an artstyle that has lineart i would be very interested in seeing thoseee

[creaturing-your-faves]

(If you're comfortable with this) could you make a tutorial on how you make your creations??? It'd okay if not, thank you for making them :D

WAA i can try!! baby's first tutorial ft. this guy

🐾 first, a picture of your blorbo

i use waifu2x to up the quality, not always neccessary but it makes everything a bit easier and prettier. i use firealpaca to edit but you can use whatever you like, im not your mom

🐾 probably get a reference

yeah i dont always do this. but you should! i should! so google whatever creature you want to turn blorbo into and maybe scroll for a bit to get a feel for what they look like :3

try to find one at a similar angle to your blorbo picture and paste it/open as a layer. look this is close enough ↓

🐾 onto the actual editing! human ear surgery

in case you prefer just one pair of ears. you have to understand the style so you can imitate it.... so look at their hair, maybe theres more colors or gradients than you can see at a glance or something ! i colorpick a bunch of them and put them over their ears, then blend them together with a low opacity watercolor brush

ALSO, notice the.. lighter glowy aura thing around his ear in the og? i try to imitate details like that too, used watercolor for this again

now maybe you wanna make it look like theres something covering that spot, since theres kinda nothing there now. soo if that looks weird to you, (open a new layer and) put some hair over it. i cant tell u how to imitate Any style so just. study it and keep trying

with enstars here the lines are pretty soft, so i go over it with watercolor brush after doing the general shape. with a higher opacity you could probably just use a softer brush from the start, i just like starting with the basic pen

🐾 the lines!!!

nowww i lower the blorbos opacity to around 50%, bring the reference somewhere i can see and just kinda... start sketching. lot of redrawing and transform tooling here sometimes

TIPS 1. you can clean the lines up at the end so dont stress

2. think of your blorbos new ears as a real tangible part of their body and how they fit on their head since you dont wanna make it look too flat !

3. and for the placement i always end up at roughly one human ear length above their og ears if that makes sense. tried to visualize it

as for inner ear fluffs phew i dont know either. draw a circle and start from there? maybe there are actual animal ears in blorbo artstyle out there you could reference

🐾 coloring 🏳️‍🌈

finally some progress huh. i color the lines in a contrasting color first so i see the lines properly and dont miss anything, then fill it in with the actual color :3 OH and for gradients i just use the airbrush at the ear tips or sides

noww shading! new layer, basic pen brush and try to follow the shapes in the og art. it's best if you pick the colors from the actual picture!!! take notes mentally and just do your best i dont know how to explain this more

taking this as an example, the shading is mostly in pretty simple wider areas, so not a lot of seperate strands in there. and its again pretty soft around the edges of shades and highlights, so i'll go over it with my beloved watercolor. keep things like that in mind so the creaturing blends in well :3

if you like more detail better you can still go with that. or less detail on a complex artstyle. the world is your oyster

🐾 and the rest

what else could there be???? making the lineart more cohesive for example ★ oftentimes it's not one solid color, thicker or thinner than yours, things like that.

for things like piercings or fangs you can just draw them on top i believe in you <3 if its like an intricate earring use the lasso? magic wand? the one that lets you select an area to copy and move on top of your ear layers

+ remember details like shadows, if you put a tail on top of say blorbos leg there's gonna be a shadow under it! put a layer under the tail ones and freehand draw the shadow, OR copy the tail layer, put the copy under the og one and change color/opacity until it fits

i may have finished the first design of the character i will be using on the zack jam and i really like the "fucked up black eyes" thing on him but again, IT FEELS LIKE STEALING THE AWB LOGIC.

jokes aside, your artstyle inspired me lots during creating him. idk if i mentioned this before but i do not know how to draw or write for the life of me. i had been planning on making my own game for the last, idk maybe 4 months, without a single idea in mind. i have come across 10:16 and not trying to be cringe or anything but it changed my life entirely. your art is really something else.

i always had issues with lineart and seeing your art made me think "OH DO I HAVE THE CHOICE TO NOT USE BLACK ON LINEART?" i really did think my lineart should look exactly like in the popular art tutorials and you changed that whole fucked up mindset. now that i dont limit myself inside those lines i can draw much more freely. im not saying it's good or anything, notice how i dont call it "art", but i definetely feel like the drawing draws itself as my hand holds the pen, without any barriers stopping it no more.

thank you a lot, Kat. im so lucky to have downloaded 10:16 when i was looking through the yandere jam games and im also so lucky to have sticked around to find out about the awb universe.

this is a super sweet message. thank you for leaving it. i am glad i could help start up those creative juices and to break out of the mold. please share any work you make, especially for zack jam. we'd all like to see!!! much love.

Hi again, tutorial anon here, i think watching you work during a stream would be better to get a full understanding of the process, thank you for your time. And by coloring i meant the new method you used in your drawing of lucio and your oc (which is stunning btw), and the way you draw lineart for hair is interesting too. I'm looking forward to your next stream ^^

I’ll see when I have something I can livestream ^o^ I have lots of things I want to draw so theres plenty to choose from ahahaaaa

Ah yes I figured~ I really like how The Arcana is drawn so trying to mimic the artstyle has taught me some new things that I very much like and want to implement into my own style °˖'✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧'˖°

and ty so much for the compliments ;v; I dont get asks a lot so I appreciate every one of them
