[thatbirdguyy]

ur so cool and love ur artsyle :) looks very official and loves ur stories :)

how do u draw sonic and tails :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I pretty much learned to draw Tails by tracing models over and over again when I was still new drawing him. That's why my old artworks still have flaws and look super static. Eventually I used a base and reference other peoples styles to find and mix my own, which then led me to the style you see in the first pick today!

Here is a small tutorial, that might help newcomers! You can apply this to any character you want to draw consistently.

A small tut on how i made my ear wings

Under the cut bcuz theres a bunch of pics and i don’t wanna clutter people’s feed

List of things you’ll need:

Foam sheet/cardboard -> for the base

feathers (i used these :

Scissors

Glue (i used hot glue)

A headband

STEP 1:

Cut out the base (i recommend using a real wing as a reference. The height of the base of the wing should be a bit bigger than the height of your ear.

i labelled them left and right, but it’s pretty useless to do that.

STEP 2:

I painted the base white because the feathers aren’t opaque, and we could see the purple of the base.

STEP 3:

It’s time to glue the long feathers on! Make sure to position them before gluing, to make sure they look ok. Make sure to to follow those handy guide!

STEP 4:

Position the second (round) layer of feathers! I fold over any feather that went over the base on the top, to keep it looking clean.

STEP 5:

Now is the time to add the fluffy feathers if you want to!

STEP 6:

Time for the back! You can either leave it white or put feathers on the back too. You can use the same template, or a reference of a real wing.

STEP 7:

Almost done! It’s time to attach them to the headband. If the one you have is made of plastic and is smooth, you should wrap some thread around it and glue it to the headband before the wings, so that the wings won’t detach

This is the pink thread i used, it’s embroidery thread. I used about the length of my arm for each side, and i then lathered it in hot glue. Not super clean, but it works.

MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY THE PLACEMENT OF THE WINGS BEFORE GLUING THEM!!!!

Next, the actual attaching. You can glue the ears directly onto the headband, or use a paperclip (this will make them move , so i don’t recommend using that).

STEP 8:

Wow! Your wings are done! Good job :3

Feel free to message me if tou have questions! I’m not the best at explaining stuff ;-;

Also, if you made these, could you reblog with your finished product :3 i’m curious to see how it turned out!

@ixekopernik , @shadowfoxink , ty for asking for this!

the way you color skin is so awesome. how do you make it look soft like that? witchcraft

Thanks! Luckily for you I have a process of one of my latest pieces documented, so I can show you how I do that ↓↓↓

Basically I use hard brush (felt tip pen marker brush on CSP) with low opacity to create soft shading almost without using blending tools(I use blender a little at the beginning if I draw older/structured faces and a bit more often when drawing young girls for example, but still not much) and a lot of lasso tool + changing brightness & contrast

It leaves a lot of hard edges which sometimes are unnecessary, so to make it look soft I slap rendering noise filter and random textures on top of all that and the skin turns out looking soft from the far and textured if you look up close

Here's another example how I make my lasso edges less visible under all these filters:

Also thank you all sm for ur questions, I saw them it just takes some time to answer cause I wanna grab a lot of visual material to make it more interesting bruh

OMG YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER

First method to cleaning MERGED PACKAGES s3 cc, package files, only works for hairs, clothes, acc and shoes! By @crazysim-mary

THIS IS FOR MERGED PACKAGES

Keep in mind this is one of MANY ways I clean my cc, this method is the one I like the most but I don’t know if it is safe for all computers or easier, it is for me :)

If you want other tutorials on how I clean obj, makeup, body hair and how I cleaned my mods folder so it won’t have conflicted files, please send me a message :3 Because on how many people this helps I will make others

You need: Master controller

Open a sim in cas, choose the cc you want to uninstall and right click it. (do this with all the cc you want to uninstall but be sure to move the txt files once you have 11 to another folder because if you don’t they will be overwritten by the newest files) 

Close your game and a .txt folder named something like “ScriptError_DESKTOP-**” will have appeared (once you right clicked the cc) in your the sims 3 folder.

Open it and copy the numbers after ‘’instance’’.

Open the package that contains in this case the hairs (in your case it can be cloths or anything like that)

Click once in ‘’chunkoffset”

Paste the number on the bottom part that says instance, check the box 

Than click set and check filter activate (In this case I have 2 parts, a thumb and a casp, usually you only have CASP)

Select CASP and uncheck filter activate.

Now you have the casp and the rest of the folders, shift click the last _img (in this case, usually it has just an icon or thumb) before another casp but don’t choose that casp than just click delete on your keyboard.

After deleting you will save and it may take a while but once is saved you can check if it’s delete by doing step 6 and 7 again

This method is the one I use, it doesn’t mean it’s safe or the best it’s just the one I personally use :) You can delete the .txt folder it won’t be needed again :) 

HOPE THIS HELPED, KISSES AND COOKIES

Tutorial that absolutely no one asked for 😞🙏

[yourteght]

Seus designs são lindos, poderia dar uma dicas? 🥰

Olá meu bem!! <3 obrigado pelo elogio (morri de amores pois sou boiola mas abafa kkkk) bem, como você não especificou que dicas gostaria de receber (e nem o estilo de capa que tem mais dificuldade) resolvi trazer o que mais ajudou para que minhas capas tivessem uma evolução (!)

Primeiramente, eu edito tudo pelo celular. Tudo. Desde a base até a finalização, tudo. Não se limite, existem vários apps de edição e todos eles são muito úteis para editar uma capinha cheirosa e babadeira 🩷✨ o que eu uso é o Ibis Paint X mas tem gente editando por várias outras plataformas. Não se limite!

Finalização:

é uma das minhas partes favoritas! Mas a ordem é bem complicada e demora nas primeiras vezes que faz. Mudei minha finalização esses dias e foi a que mais ajudou as minhas capas a ficar com qualidade. Primeiro, eu faço a capa nas medidas de 600 x 400... Sim, MAS EU POSSO EXPLICAR! Já disse uma vez e digo de novo, não são as medidas que vão deixar a capa com qualidade, é a finalização. Edito tudo nas medidas corretas do app/site pois sou doido :3

Vamos falar da finalização do igor! Primeiro eu salvo a capa (aperte na opção Adicionar Camada a Partir da Tela) e eu coloco a nitidez no raio de 2 e força no 240 e pq sim, depois eu vou mexer nas configurações do app (e como já disse, eu uso o Ibis paint). Logo após eu vou mexer no tom/saturação/luminosidade, nessa configuração, tente mexer até realçar mais as cores, dar mais contraste (pois é ela que vai dar o tchan na hora da segunda finalização). Após isso, eu mexo no balanço de cores, apenas por fazer (essa parte é opcional). Agora vamos pro pulo do gato. Aperte na opção Adicionar Camada a Partir da Tela (que vai duplicar a sua capa e a alteração que fez e aperte a opção de efeitos Borrão Gaussian no raio 5, e dai vem um truque! Coloque no modo de mistura escurecer e se for necessário, diminua a opacidade. Tentem e me digam se funciona com vocês! Mais um truque da minha finalização. Dupliquem novamente a camada com toda a sua alteração E usem o mapa de gradação ou seja, usem degradê. Nisso, eu não posso ajudar muito pois vai de cada capa. A única dica que posso dar é sejam felizes e testem a vontade as cores, brinquem a vontade! E depois de verem um degradê que casou com a sua capa, brinquem com o modo de mistura e testem qual mais se adequa para a capa. Depois disso eu só adiciono o efeito 3d aberração cromática (movimento) e apago as extremidades. Depois disso eu adiciono os psds (vai de cada capa) e faço minha terceira finalização. Que é onde adiciono o TÍTULO, CRÉDITOS E DETALHES EXTRAS , sim eu não havia adicionado o título!

Um exemplo:

primeira capa depois da primeira finalização; a segunda sendo depois da segunda finalização e a terceira capa totalmente finalizada.

(Desisto de tentar explicar gente, é isso por hoje, eu até tentei gravar minha finalização mas não deu certo :'))) qualquer dúvida, me mandem nas asks <3

tut for black and white photos !! @courta13 🫶

[scribblesandknots]

OP, those look great!! Getting enough bobbins to get started with is one of the hardest parts of getting started with bobbin lace.

I have two things to add: one, you can make a decent small lace pillow with a foam mat like you'd use for blocking knitting or crochet and a cheap throw pillow with a sturdy fabric cover, if you happen to have both of those things!

Two: I don't know how you're looping your thread at the top of your bobbins to keep it from unwinding, but the "official" bobbins you showed have a little notch at the head to loop the thread around. I don't think that's required - I've seen plenty of bobbins that don't have that notch, and you just make the loop within the space where the thread is wound - but I personally find it much nicer as I work to have it looped in the notch instead.

Anyway, if you (or anyone following your great tutorial) wanted that little notch, you could probably do two of the round beads at the top and have that work fine! Maybe disc beads, if you found those instead of spherical ones.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about from WikiHow - it shows the thread already wound in the main neck of the bobbin, and the loop going around the notch in the head.

Link to the WikiHow article I got the picture from: https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Bobbin-Lace

Great work and great tutorial, OP - enjoy your new hobby!!

BECKYYY!! PLEASE SHOW US HOW YOU DID THAT REALLY COOL NAME INPUT AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!

HI!!!! i am assuming you mean the login screen thing in episode 01? if so i have tried to explain it as best as i can below!

alright, so let's start with what's in the passage for the login screen:

and compare it to our rendered passage:

the login-screen div has some css going on, to make the text centered. as well as a transparent background to separate it from the other text in the passages and give it that screen sort of look.

there's not much going on codewise really, i've used two listboxes and two textboxes. the listboxes are for easy selection if someone doesn't care about imputing a custom forename and surname. the textboxes are for inputting custom names.

the login button is what's doing the heavy lifting! i used the example code from this thread i found a while back - i don't think it is too hard to follow!

in this case, the login button prevents the player from proceeding to the next passage unless the conditions are met. you don't necessarily have to put this in but it'd be silly not to as the mc wouldn't have a name and be labelled as "Forename Surname" lol.

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!!)

⭐ So you want to learn pixel art? ⭐

🔹 Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!

Edit: Now available in Google Doc format if you don't have a Tumblr account 🥰

Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic.

My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.

This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!

🔹 Do I need money?

NO!!! Pixel art is one of the most accessible mediums out there.

I still use a mouse because I prefer it to a tablet! You won't be at any disadvantage here if you can't afford the best hardware or software.

Because our canvases are typically very small, you don't need a good PC to run a good brush engine or anything like that.

✨Did you know? One of the most skilled and beloved pixel artists uses MS PAINT! Wow!!

🔹 What software should I use?

Here are some of the most popular programs I see my friends and peers using. Stars show how much I recommend the software for beginners! ⭐

💰 Paid options:

⭐⭐⭐ Aseprite (for PC) - $19.99

This is what I and many other pixel artists use. You may find when applying to jobs that they require some knowledge of Aseprite. Since it has become so popular, companies like that you can swap raw files between artists.

Aseprite is amazingly customizable, with custom skins, scripts and extensions on Itch.io, both free and paid.

If you have ever used any art software before, it has most of the same features and should feel fairly familiar to use. It features a robust animation suite and a tilemap feature, which have saved me thousands of hours of labour in my work. The software is also being updated all the time, and the developers listen to the users. I really recommend Aseprite!

⭐ Photoshop (for PC) - Monthly $$

A decent option for those who already are used to the PS interface. Requires some setup to get it ready for pixel-perfect art, but there are plenty of tutorials for doing so.

Animation is also much more tedious on PS which you may want to consider before investing time!

⭐⭐ ProMotion NG (for PC) - $19.00

An advanced and powerful software which has many features Aseprite does not, including Colour Cycling and animated tiles.

⭐⭐⭐ Pixquare (for iOS) - $7.99 - $19.99 (30% off with code 'tofu'!!)

Probably the best app available for iPad users, in active development, with new features added all the time.

Look! My buddy Jon recommends it highly, and uses it often.

One cool thing about Pixquare is that it takes Aseprite raw files! Many of my friends use it to work on the same project, both in their office and on the go.

⭐ Procreate (for iOS) - $12.99

If you have access to Procreate already, it's a decent option to get used to doing pixel art. It does however require some setup. Artist Pixebo is famously using Procreate, and they have tutorials of their own if you want to learn.

⭐⭐ ReSprite iOS and Android. (free trial, but:) $19.99 premium or $$ monthly

ReSprite is VERY similar in terms of UI to Aseprite, so I can recommend it. They just launched their Android release!

🆓 Free options:

⭐⭐⭐ Libresprite (for PC)

Libresprite is an alternative to Aseprite. It is very, very similar, to the point where documentation for Aseprite will be helpful to Libresprite users.

⭐⭐ Pixilart (for PC and mobile)

A free in-browser app, and also a mobile app! It is tied to the website Pixilart, where artists upload and share their work. A good option for those also looking to get involved in a community.

⭐⭐ Dotpict (for mobile)

Dotpict is similar to Pixilart, with a mobile app tied to a website, but it's a Japanese service. Did you know that in Japanese, pixel art is called 'Dot Art'? Dotpict can be a great way to connect with a different community of pixel artists! They also have prompts and challenges often.

🔹 So I got my software, now what?

◽Nice! Now it's time for the basics of pixel art.

❗ WAIT ❗ Before this section, I want to add a little disclaimer. All of these rules/guidelines can be broken at will, and some 'no-nos' can look amazing when done intentionally.

The pixel-art fundamentals can be exceedingly helpful to new artists, who may feel lost or overwhelmed by choice. But if you feel they restrict you too harshly, don't force yourself! At the end of the day it's your art, and you shouldn't try to contort yourself into what people think a pixel artist 'should be'. What matters is your own artistic expression. 💕👍

◽Phew! With that out of the way...

🔸"The Rules"

There are few hard 'rules' of pixel art, mostly about scaling and exporting. Some of these things will frequently trip up newbies if they aren't aware, and are easy to overlook.

🔹Scaling method

There are a couple ways of scaling your art. The default in most art programs, and the entire internet, is Bi-linear scaling, which usually works out fine for most purposes. But as pixel artists, we need a different method.

Both are scaled up x10. See the difference?

On the left is scaled using Bilinear, and on the right is using Nearest-Neighbor. We love seeing those pixels stay crisp and clean, so we use nearest-neighbor. 

(Most pixel-art programs have nearest-neighbor enabled by default! So this may not apply to you, but it's important to know.)

🔹Mixels

Mixels are when there are different (mixed) pixel sizes in the same image.

Here I have scaled up my art- the left is 200%, and the right is 150%. Yuck!

As we can see, the "pixel" sizes end up different. We generally try to scale our work by multiples of 100 - 200%, 300% etc. rather than 150%. At larger scales however, the minute differences in pixel sizes are hardly noticeable!

Mixels are also sometimes seen when an artist scales up their work, then continues drawing on it with a 1 pixel brush.

Many would say that this is not great looking! This type of pixels can be indicative of a beginner artist. But there are plenty of creative pixel artists out there who mixels intentionally, making something modern and cool.

🔹Saving Your Files

We usually save our still images as .PNGs as they don’t create any JPEG artifacts or loss of quality. It's a little hard to see here, but there are some artifacts, and it looks a little blurry. It also makes the art very hard to work with if we are importing a JPEG.

For animations .GIF is good, but be careful of the 256 colour limit. Try to avoid using too many blending mode layers or gradients when working with animations. If you aren’t careful, your animation could flash afterwards, as the .GIF tries to reduce colours wherever it can. It doesn’t look great!

Here's an old piece from 2021 where I experienced .GIF lossiness, because I used gradients and transparency, resulting in way too many colours.

🔹Pixel Art Fundamentals - Techniques and Jargon

❗❗Confused about Jaggies? Anti-Aliasing? Banding? Dithering? THIS THREAD is for you❗❗ << it's a link, click it!!

As far as I'm concerned, this is THE tutorial of all time for understanding pixel art. These are techniques created and named by the community of people who actually put the list together, some of the best pixel artists alive currently. Please read it!!

🔸How To Learn

Okay, so you have your software, and you're all ready to start. But maybe you need some more guidance? Try these tutorials and resources! It can be helpful to work along with a tutorial until you build your confidence up.

⭐⭐ Pixel Logic (A Digital Book) - $10 A very comprehensive visual guide book by a very skilled and established artist in the industry. I own a copy myself.

⭐⭐⭐ StudioMiniBoss - free A collection of visual tutorials, by the artist that worked on Celeste! When starting out, if I got stuck, I would go and scour his tutorials and see how he did it.

⭐ Lospec Tutorials - free A very large collection of various tutorials from all over the internet. There is a lot to sift through here if you have the time.

⭐⭐⭐ Cyangmou's Tutorials - free (tipping optional) Cyangmou is one of the most respected and accomplished modern pixel artists, and he has amassed a HUGE collection of free and incredibly well-educated visual tutorials. He also hosts an educational stream every week on Twitch called 'pixelart for beginners'.

⭐⭐⭐ Youtube Tutorials - free There are hundreds, if not thousands of tutorials on YouTube, but it can be tricky to find the good ones. My personal recommendations are MortMort, Brandon, and AdamCYounis- these guys really know what they're talking about!

🔸 How to choose a canvas size

When looking at pixel art turorials, we may see people suggest things like 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64. These are standard sizes for pixel art games with tiles. However, if you're just making a drawing, you don't necessarily need to use a standard canvas size like that.

What I like to think about when choosing a canvas size for my illustrations is 'what features do I think it is important to represent?' And make my canvas as small as possible, while still leaving room for my most important elements.

Imagine I have characters in a scene like this:

I made my canvas as small as possible (232 x 314), but just big enough to represent the features and have them be recognizable (it's Good Omens fanart 😤)!! If I had made it any bigger, I would be working on it for ever, due to how much more foliage I would have to render.

If you want to do an illustration and you're not sure, just start at somewhere around 100x100 - 200x200 and go from there.

It's perfectly okay to crop your canvas, or scale it up, or crunch your art down at any point if you think you need a different size. I do it all the time! It only takes a bit of cleanup to get you back to where you were.

🔸Where To Post

Outside of just regular socials, Twitter, Tumblr, Deviantart, Instagram etc, there are a few places that lean more towards pixel art that you might not have heard of.

⭐ Lospec Lospec is a low-res focused art website. Some pieces get given a 'monthly masterpiece' award. Not incredibly active, but I believe there are more features being added often.

⭐⭐ Pixilart Pixilart is a very popular pixel art community, with an app tied to it. The community tends to lean on the young side, so this is a low-pressure place to post with an relaxed vibe.

⭐⭐ Pixeljoint Pixeljoint is one of the big, old-school pixel art websites. You can only upload your art unscaled (1x) because there is a built-in zoom viewer. It has a bit of a reputation for being elitist (back in the 00s it was), but in my experience it's not like that any more. This is a fine place for a pixel artist to post if they are really interested in learning, and the history. The Hall of Fame has some of the most famous / impressive pixel art pieces that paved the way for the work we are doing today.

⭐⭐⭐ Cafe Dot Cafe Dot is my art server so I'm a little biased here. 🍵 It was created during the recent social media turbulence. We wanted a place to post art with no algorithms, and no NFT or AI chuds. We have a heavy no-self-promotion rule, and are more interested in community than skill or exclusivity. The other thing is that we have some kind of verification system- you must apply to be a Creator before you can post in the Art feed, or use voice. This helps combat the people who just want to self-promo and dip, or cause trouble, as well as weed out AI/NFT people. Until then, you are still welcome to post in any of the threads or channels. There is a lot to do in Cafe Dot. I host events weekly, so check the threads!

⭐⭐/r/pixelart The pixel art subreddit is pretty active! I've also heard some of my friends found work through posting here, so it's worth a try if you're looking. However, it is still Reddit- so if you're sensitive to rude people, or criticism you didn't ask for, you may want to avoid this one. Lol

🔸 Where To Find Work

You need money? I got you! As someone who mostly gets scouted on social media, I can share a few tips with you:

Put your email / portfolio in your bio Recruiters don't have all that much time to find artists, make it as easy as possible for someone to find your important information!

Clean up your profile If your profile feed is all full of memes, most people will just tab out rather than sift through. Doesn't apply as much to Tumblr if you have an art tag people can look at.

Post regularly, and repost Activity beats everything in the social media game. It's like rolling the dice, and the more you post the more chances you have. You have to have no shame, it's all business baby

Outside of just posting regularly and hoping people reach out to you, it can be hard to know where to look. Here are a few places you can sign up to and post around on.

/r/INAT INAT (I Need A Team) is a subreddit for finding a team to work with. You can post your portfolio here, or browse for people who need artists.

/r/GameDevClassifieds Same as above, but specifically for game-related projects.

Remote Game Jobs / Work With Indies Like Indeed but for game jobs. Browse them often, or get email notifications.

VGen VGen is a website specifically for commissions. You need a code from another verified artist before you can upgrade your account and sell, so ask around on social media or ask your friends. Once your account is upgraded, you can make a 'menu' of services people can purchase, and they send you an offer which you are able to accept, decline, or counter.

The evil websites of doom: Fiverr and Upwork I don't recommend them!! They take a big cut of your profit, and the sites are teeming with NFT and AI people hoping to make a quick buck. The site is also extremely oversaturated and competitive, resulting in a race to the bottom (the cheapest, the fastest, doing the most for the least). Imagine the kind of clients who go to these websites, looking for the cheapest option. But if you're really desperate...

🔸 Community

I do really recommend getting involved in a community. Finding like-minded friends can help you stay motivated to keep drawing. One day, those friends you met when you were just starting out may become your peers in the industry. Making friends is a game changer!

Discord servers Nowadays, the forums of old are mostly abandoned, and people split off into many different servers. Cafe Dot, Pixel Art Discord (PAD), and if you can stomach scrolling past all the AI slop, you can browse Discord servers here.

Twitch Streams Twitch has kind of a bad reputation for being home to some of the more edgy gamers online, but the pixel art community is extremely welcoming and inclusive. Some of the people I met on Twitch are my friends to this day, and we've even worked together on different projects! Browse pixel art streams here, or follow some I recommend: NickWoz, JDZombi, CupOhJoe, GrayLure, LumpyTouch, FrankiePixelShow, MortMort, Sodor, NateyCakes, NyuraKim, ShinySeabass, I could go on for ever really... There are a lot of good eggs on Pixel Art Twitch.

🔸 Other Helpful Websites

Palettes Lospec has a huge collection of user-made palettes, for any artist who has trouble choosing their colours, or just wants to try something fun. Rejected Palettes is full of palettes that didn't quite make it onto Lospec, ran by people who believe there are no bad colours.

The Spriters Resource TSR is an incredible website where users can upload spritesheets and tilesets from games. You can browse for your favourite childhood game, and see how they made it! This website has helped me so much in understanding how game assets come together in a scene.

VGMaps Similar to the above, except there are entire maps laid out how they would be played. This is incredible if you have to do level design, or for mocking up a scene for fun.

Game UI Database Not pixel-art specific, but UI is a very challenging part of graphics, so this site can be a game-changer for finding good references!

Retronator A digital newspaper for pixel-art lovers! New game releases, tutorials, and artworks!

Itch.io A website where people can upload, games, assets, tools... An amazing hub for game devs and game fans alike. A few of my favourite tools: Tiled, PICO-8, Pixel Composer, Juice FX, Magic Pencil for Aseprite

🔸 The End?

This is just part 1 for now, so please drop me a follow to see any more guides I release in the future. I plan on doing some writeups on how I choose colours, how to practise, and more!

I'm not an expert by any means, but everything I did to get to where I am is outlined in this guide. Pixel art is my passion, my job and my hobby! I want pixel art to be recognized everywhere as an art-form, a medium of its own outside of game-art or computer graphics!

This guide took me a long time, and took a lot of research and experience. Consider following me or supporting me if you are feeling generous.

And good luck to all the fledgling pixel artists, I hope you'll continue and have fun. I hope my guide helped you, and don't hesitate to send me an ask if you have any questions! 💕
