Iridescent Skin Tutorial by Fruitegg

[woadge]

Here, take my industry secrets.

I don't want people to spend their money on art school when I can make resources for free for them.

Hey here's a step-by-step guide to making concept art pieces using the industry "Collage > Painting" pipeline. It's how artists pump out a shit ton of concept work for their bosses at record speeds. Intended for newer artists!

hello! do you have any tips for drawing in paint?

I ended up making a little tutorial so. .

My MSpaint workflow!

(not applicable to everyone each person has their own way to use each program)

Start with a sketch!

Do lineart over sketch, and make sure its in a DIFFERENT COLOR!

From here you can isolate the lineart by just erasing the lineart color! (and ctrl + makes the tool your using bigger)

Now we have just the lineart!

From here I color, just using the paint bucket tool and drawing the markings on

Adding the shading, I choose the colors I chose, then use the edit colors tool to make them darker and a slightly different tint.

Now for the painting process, I use this to mix my colors together. Basically find two colors, paint a line inbetween them using this paint brush tool and one of the colors, then select the inbetween color. This is mostly the same as how I paint in other programs.

COLOR TANGENT!! When digitally paintings it is sometimes better to just choose a color that would be inbetween, ESPECIALLY with yellow and blue. Its kinda complicated but how the computer does its calculations it can grey out your colors.

But I basically do the painting mixing and coloring all around the piece, choosing inbetweens everywhere, and smoothing out the shading lines, I tend to go over my lineart here

And Im done!

Just adding a lot of details + I tend to do the bg last

My style depends on which piece im working on, sometimes I use the paint brush for all of the piece so its a lot smoother

This was done with the paint brush in MS Paint (the one I used in the mixing section) but it is still the same process, I would just use the paint brush instead of the pencil

but this one was done entirely with the pencil tool, so its up to you which style your going for

Hope that was helpful, and at least taught some fun ms paint tricks heh. Its really fun to work with because it forces you to work on one layer

could you give a tutorial on how you draw/shade water? Its so good the way you draw it

this is as quick + basic as i could describe it! Though in my last illus with the wave in it, i also did dip more extremely into colors as well (some shades of light green and purple were used).

here have the quick and dirty step by step of how I paint the desert tenakth weave (or any weave really). made for someone on the visual novel project and thought it might be useful to someone else 🤷

my recipe for drawing hands!

(small note that this is a shortcut that is more abt style and ease than anatomical accuracy. it helps to take time to really properly study hands, makes it easier to bend the rules a bit like this and have it still look good!!)

(learn rules b4 u break them or whatevah)

this is not a tutorial this is just me rambling

One of my long time patrons requested a space painting tutorial with a focus on how to make the stars shine and the colors vibrant. So I recorded a speed paint I made under 10 minutes of how to paint the Milky Way. I hope it helps!

You can find free downloads of the brushes I used right here YuumeiArt.com/space-tutorial It contains a brush set for Photoshop and another set for Clip Studio (converted by Arcane Halo)

Excellent painting tutorial. In case you don't know the terms in the last description, "edge variation" means having "hard" or "soft" edges, where hard edges are crisp and good for high-detail, and soft edges are more blurry/smudged and are good for giving objects the appearance of receding in distance. In the painting above, the snake's eye uses hard edges, and its teeth and underside of the jaw use softer edges. "Occlusion shadows" are the absolute darkest parts because they are the areas where no light reaches, not even reflected or ambient light. They tend to be small and are used sparingly. Above, there's an occlusion shadow around the snake's eye. However, the shading of the eye was probably exaggerated to make it stand out more, since it's the focal point.

here's a landscape tutorial!

i focused on natural environments for this one, if you find it helpful I'll be back with how I learned to draw buildings.

let me know if it helps! and have fun drawing ✨

Painted a Bagel

[olliemnjones]

Hey there! Your actually one of my inspiration for art! I really like how realistically shaded the backgrounds are and everything! Do you have any tips for shading in digital art?

Hey, I appreciate it, thank you! There are lots of things that go in to making a good background but this is the main idea that made backgrounds click for me:

Hopefully you'll agree that of these two shapes, the one on the right feels more 'real', despite the fact neither of these shapes are meant to represent anything. The shape on the right just has a noise filter and a faint light-to-dark gradient from top to bottom. Those two things create movement on a small scale (the noise) and on a large scale (the gradient). The presence of that sort of movement is what gets your brain to register something as real.

Here I've taken the shape and given it a new environment, a colour and then a gradient. The shape with the movement feels a little more natural in its environment, I think.

Then directly on top of that, I can start creating small scale movement, like the noise, through brush strokes. At first (on the left) the brushstrokes look quite out of place and unnatural. But as you work in to the surface more, creating more and more overlapping brushstrokes of various sizes and directions - all while trying to maintain the sense of that gradient - the strokes will start to more naturally integrate in to each other, creating a bed on to which other elements will lay naturally.

Here I give this abstract shape some context by painting some cracks and decay on it. These new elements create movement by giving our eyes more shapes to latch on to and jump between. I then added a pattern to it. This pattern adds more movement and reinforces the light effect by adhering to the gradient (getting darker at the same rate the wall does).

You can see I use this idea all through this picture. I make sure in any section there is always some kind of movement of light, whether its left-to-right, or top-to-bottom, corner-to-corner etc. Patterns like the woodgrain on the drawer or the textile of the curtain create additional movement and reinforce the dimensions of their respective forms by adhering to them. Bit rambly but I hope there's something useful in there!
