Hey, quick question... how do you do lineart and shading? I suck and desperately need advice... also love ur art <3

hi!! ty so much :] i use 2 drawing apps when i draw dont ask me why ig i like different brushes but for my sketches i draw on ibis paint most of the time and use This brush right here

for my lineart i often use procreate and use the narinder brush in the sketching section (and also doodle with it) bc it looks rlly nice and ive been drawing with it for a while now surprisingly bc i always tend to change brushes 😭

for lines i turn the layer to multiply then add a layer on top and set that one to clipping mask then i color the lines inside w a shade of pink and bc the lineart layer is set as multiply the pink will look darker idk if this makes sense?? i do that for all my lineart so yea WOW I SAID LINEART AND LAYER A LOT i May be stupid

ALSO for lineart dont hesitate with ur lines, its gonna make everything harder and ur gonna struggle and spend way more time on it instead just warm up beforehand a good way to do so would be to just trace lines until you get more comfy and also draw using the force in ur wrist and not ur arm!! i rlly love doing lineart now it may be my one of my fav parts i am an Outcast

for shading it just came with experience i guess…? i was rlly bad at shading at first So a few tips i learned along the way was to never shade w black bc it doesnt look nice (except if ur goign for that kind of aesthetic where it works) so i always shade w purple or pink colors set on multiply and it blends nicely,, also!! trying out a lot of things can help id suggest making a pinterest board or smth with art U like/are inspired by and try out some of the aspects just to practice things u wanna get better at and it can also help ‘develop’ ur artstyle!!

also for clothing folds and stuff Which was hell to shade for me i just studied w a lot of pics and now i Think im better at it idk help but studying always helps a lot in everything like when i dont know how to draw smth i Always use a reference pic and its a very good warmup!! also try to keep in mind a light source bc otherwise the shadows may contradict themselves but thats still fine as long as ur learning And there is no right way to do art dont overwork urself if you cant do something first try its fine art is a journey :)

SORRY IF THIS WAS KINDA LONG i hope this helps in Some way even if im bad at explaining but i rlly love answering stuff abt my art in general so :}

(Aphex) Mod shit can we straight up get a design shitting edition for InsaineMembrane's designs?? APHX-714, APHX-666, APHX-667, APHX-838, APHX-1263, APHX-843, APHX-1341, APHX-1032, APHX-1737, DPHX-1431. in order of how they have them on the website. Love u sorry for torturing u </3333. Tried not to grab any dupes that have been on the blog before but if I got some that have been featured before please roast me to death. Also hope I'm using pronouns they're comfy with but let me know if I'm not

at first i was going to tell you to go fuck yourself because i dont want to but then the bus got delayed so here i am. this one has the faintest hints of a good design actually and that's probably because it's not a clusterfuck of shoddy textures and glaring colors. still not that impressive but considering who makes these it's almost passable. the spikes always look terrible and jut out from weird places, and it took me a second to realize the black clouds on the eyes are wisps but i have less to shit on this other than it's just a touch ugly instead of glaringly ugly

of course they have the 666 one and it's as needlessly edgy as it could be. not even that edgy either compared to the usual clusterfuck. the legs remind me of big bird and its hand behind it looking like it's trying to pull out a wedgie really decreases the edge factor. on the nose also looks like a nose clip for people who go swimming. most of it's just repeating patterns for the sake of filling space

i might just have very low standards but this design is completely fine. the right version gets to the weird overcomplicated nonsense but the one on the left has nothing wrong with it. right looks like it got a disease

I kind of appreciate the various poses these are drawn in but this one's closer to what i expected. a shitton of spikes and zigzagging segments that is more confusing than anything, on a pose that is clearly either eyeballed or traced somewhat because anything that has to be drawn from scratch has incredibly low skill. they've gotten better at color placements though. idk i feel i just have to reward actual progress. this does not stop it from looking a lot like a chicken or the fuckugly hands though

im glad you discovered the darken layer in procreate now can you learn some better things too. same spikes though im unsure if these are standards for the species or whatever. idek what the effect is trying to pull off or why the right wing looks broken. in fact both wings appear broken because they just out of the wrist when usually wing membranes are connected to the hand themselves. the eyes almost look like trypophobia and the amaazing stamp brush used for the circles

click on the link because this one couldn't be assed to be properly colored in at bits or even have the lineart connect. idk what the reference was but why is it doing a weird look over the shoulder. points i guess for trying to copy what a flail looks like even if it's incredibly obvious. the horns don't make a lick of sense and nothing is even which is almost a breath of fresh air compared to the over used symmetry ones. almost, it still looks bad.

idk which part of it lets it have two bodies with entirely different designs but sure let this person make more bad designs. these would actually look fine if anyone else was designing them, though right one is very hard to see because it's mostly black god forbid this be drawn with any shadows or you'd lose the bitch

this looks like a crook because of the mouth and limb situation. the lines aren't smooth at all do they do this with a mouse

another common sign a person's a beginner is their overuse of a single interesting stamp brush. it works for the wings but does not work as well for the wrists or ankles. the tail is very hard to see past the two octopus tentacles in face they are covering it entirely. the webbing on the forearms make little sense

another attempt at a plague rat. the limbs are already jacked up but they couldn't even make them look attached or like they'd even bend properly. also apparently the mask is a trait too. the subtle tint of gross piss yellow adds a nice touch for infected sewer rat just fix the anatomy and this almost could be decent
