#someone teach me how to render

[lotus-lamps]

sketch, flat colors, rendering + background, and then filters. loveee lineless art too bad i suck at it lmao

i was gonna post this two days ago but uh. whoops. :)

i have made the mistake. of causing all my like what. 10 followers to be here for only oneshot content LMAO im so doomed. i make stuff for so many fandoms lol

[nyoclosmom]

i know nobody asked for this

im gonna do it anyway

here's a guide to my drawing process:

1- Pick a reference

I chose that one

2- Simplify it into small shapes and use that as a reference

like so

3- Draw your sketch using that reference

it doesn't have to be perfect. just the general idea of what you want to do and you're good to go. i don't recommend spending too much time here.

4- do another cleaner sketch over it

again, don't worry about this too much, it doesn't have to be perfect

5- do yet another sketch, but with the original reference as the reference so you can give a little more attention to detail

like so

6- I like it like this, but if you like having a cleaner sketch before starting to color, you def can take the time to clean it up or make a line art layer. Once that's done, add the base color

I have to confess something now you guys. I have 0% talent. I color pick. SO WHAT. ARE YOU GOING TO KILL ME??? (i like bullying myself but if you also happen to color pick pls don't take this as an insult, that's totally valid) We can learn color theory another time anyway.

And by that I mean I grab the colors from the reference. Does that make me a bad artist? Well I know for a fact my art teacher would destroy me, but other than that

7- okay what I did is color pick like crazy and painted however tf I wanted to. So. Just do the same.

ik it looks bad now but TRUST THE PROCESS!!! Basically do whatever the hell you want now, it still doesn't matter much (also pls use the alpha lock it helps tons)

8- okay shit's starting to get SERIOUS. Don't be too stressed about it, but actually be stressed about it??? Basically just keep doing what you were doing before but with a purpose.

Okay things are actually starting to look good

9- Here comes the real important stuff. Give your eyes a rest if they need it and go back to the reference and see what's missing, or what else you need? Hair shape? Jaw is too round? Eyes are kinda crossed? Just try to find the details and fix them

10- Best part. Just add the details, give it a lazy background, sign it, and you're done! Congrats!

that thing on her left shoulder is my signature btw

Also I really don't care about detail and i left it like that, but you can totally add and do more stuff (and actually render too lol)

ALSO SHE'S SO PRETTY AHHHHH
