Hi!! Dou you have any tutorials or timelapses of your process for rendering skin? I just reblogged one of your pics of 2 fat women kissing and it was so beautiful especially how you did the skin texture and I would love to learn off you if possible!

I share process GIFs on my Patreon, but honestly I have trouble with tutorials because I don't like to position myself as some kind of authority on How to Do Art. This is just how I do art, sometimes.

But if it's helpful, here's a quick run-down of my most common shading method:

1. Once I've got the flat colors down, I add some color variation - lips, cheeks, palms, suntans, whatever applies!

2. To block in rough shadows, I start with two multiply layers. For the first layer, I pick a pale color and use the airbrush to do some very soft, broad shading around the edges of all shapes.

3. For the second layer, I pick a slightly darker color and use a harder brush to shade where the shadows ought to be falling. Sometimes I'll pick a third even darker color for the deepest shadows.

4. I add a layer of white underneath both of them and merge them. When it's set to normal, it looks like this. I have a preference for warm tones, so my most common shadow colors range from warm yellow to purple, but I'll play around with the hue/saturation before I merge them. With the piece you're referring to, I locked the opacity on my shadow layer and painted some of the shadows blue, leaving others warm.

5. I set my eyedropper tool to "pick up color from layer," set the combined shadow layer back to multiply, and use a soft bristle brush to do some blending. (I'm not sure if this eyedropper mode is CSP-only; in my ancient version of Photoshop, I just left the layer in normal mode while I was refining it.)

6. One more layer on top for some little highlights! This is just color-picked from the base skin tone and upped a few shades lighter, nothing special.

And that's basically it! idk I just really enjoy painting skin so I tend to give it special attention.

Hello i was wondering if maybe you could share the brushes you use🥺

Apologies for the late response, I had to hunt down all the sources for my brushes again on 2 different programs... Some of these cost some clippy points on CSP but rn there's a login bonus for them until March 13!

CLIP STUDIO:

Sketching:

ReaganS2 pen. Costs 100cp now, but it's been really helpful in how responsive and layered it is for setting up the rough sketch.

AJ's pencil set. Very useful for warmups and figure studies IMO.

Lining:

Quibbly. It costs 50 cp but it's got the perfect texture and crunch that I love in lining, super responsive as well.

Coloring:

YN Painting Brush Set. I added some color jitter to the settings to make it more vibrant.

MYNQZO brushes. Great texture, I personally use the rougher brush the most.

ETC:

Close and fill tool without gaps. This one's just a lifesaver, very good to immediately get a base layer done. There's also other versions OP for the tool made that you should check out.

Erase to remove only protrude pen and overflow. Set your lineart to reference and it'll only paint/erase along the edges. Incredibly useful (There's also the erase along edge eraser, but I prefer the former.)

PROCREATE:

Lining:

Gesinski Ink from the default ink brushes has been my go to for years, with a touch of scattering to add texture. Lately I've been experimenting with the Ink Bleed brush as well.

Coloring:

This brush pack from roseflarea on twitter has been really good, especially love the pastel brush.

If you're willing to spend some money (like 8.50 USD or so) this ghibli inspired brushset is very good for Nature/Landscape pieces. It also includes video timelapses and tutorials. (Also compatible w PS/CSP)

Cityscape brushset by Devin Elle Kurtz on the other hand is super helpful with more urban backgrounds, it's free and compatible w CSP/PS

Devin Elle Kurtz also has a very nice foliage pack that's free as well and compatible with Procreate/PS/CSP, check it out!
