hi! this is Insomniac Anon here!!! I noticed on some of ur artworks (specifically the unique magic posters), that u have a textured look to em, like paper or grain ... i wanted to ask how u get that effect? is it a brush, a filter, or like an overlay/png u use ... ? pls tell me!! ;v; I really like how the texture looks, so i wanted to know how 2 do it since ure a very big inspo 2 me LAWL ... I've been doing art practices in diff styles i find, so, i wanted to know a bit more how you do it :^D

thank you! :D :D :D it's usually photos/textures of paper that I've messed around with; I have a bunch of free/paid/ones I took myself. anytime I see good photos of paper I add it to the collection...it is my weakness. 😔

I mostly use Photoshop, but this should work in any program that supports blending modes (also I did this in like an hour to use as an example, please forgive it :')

image by itself before texturing:

with the texture pasted in (for this one I'm using this public domain one from Pexels):

then mess around with the blending mode to see how it looks -- in this case I went with overlay, but soft light and hard light are usually good ones too, it really depends on the texture:

then with a bunch of messing around with opacity/colors/saturation/levels/adding in a bit more texture until I like how it looks:

et voilà, texture! (waves hands)

Feeling a little sick today, so figured I'd do some self-indulgent art of some of my favorite older pokemon designs. Contemplating setting up a Patreon or something similar to a room a project of sketching every single Pokemon, but maybe not too soon.

Pencil sketch, having a lot of fun working with pencils again!

hi, sorry if you’ve answered this before, but how do you pick your colours? in general but also when you draw the idv characters, I think it might be the way that they shade the character artworks but I find deciding what colours to use when I draw them really hard, thank you for your time !!!!

i usually eyeball the initial colors! i tend to just look at their official concept art since thats the main piece of art that deliberately doesn't muddle their palette with environmental shading and stuff. you don't have to be wholly accurate to their canon color palette, i usually just go for colors that are similar but nothing rigid.

as a standard for myself i try to stick to only several colors drawing a specific character so they're more visually cohesive, so i also eyedrop colors that i used earlier in the coloring process. (so basically if theres pieces of a characters outfit that are a similar color i usually just make it all one color unless i feel like separating them slightly is necessary) i also like having a bolder color underneath the clipping mask base, then lower the opacity of that base in the 90-96 range so theres also an undertone to make it feel more uniform. (the undertone for this vera is purple)
