Can you do a coloring tutorial one day? I really like the fuzzyness and whimsy of your style sm I really want a storybook look but idk how to :((
Hi ! This is a tricky one as I tend not to be super consistent with the way I colour. I like to try things out and see what works best for each one of my illustrations :)
However, here are the basics:
First, I sketch the character. I rely on textured brushes a lot so I pick the ones that can give me that “drawn on paper” effect. Big fan of the “Marmo S(Shale)-brush” or anything similar. Next, I colour-block the character.
Then, I’ll add a simple texture within a brush that has a nice pattern. I really like to use “Bonobo Chalk” or any of the vintage brushes you can find on RetroSupply Co.
The next step is to add simple lighting and shadows and fix some small details. I also like to change the colour of the line art.
You're almost done ! Add and erase some lines, play with the colours a little bit more until you're happy and here we are :)
This is it pretty much ! Just keep it simple, experiment and, most importantly, follow your instincts! Have fun ;)

And, ur art is so cool. I really liked the one "a day with art block". It was beautiful. ❤️
Ello!
My birthday ? Nah, luckily it’s not happening till late September. Thank God for that because i do not like getting older and older and older :’)
Awee thank you so much for your kind words ! I’m super happy to hear that you liked the comic and to see that it resonated with so many people ! Art block is a common experience and usually it is anything but positive. However, it doesn't mean that we can't be creative in other ways, think outside of the box or take time to focus on ourselves, if that makes sense ;)

ive seen some of your artwork in the past, and looking through all of it now, your work is so delightful! it feels reminiscent of childrens storybooks, and like how you shade and color! how there's a noise effect with variations of a hue in it, and small painted-textures when creating a soft blend for shading - it gives a very comforting feeling. the way you draw makes each character feel like a plush too, youre art makes me very happy :D
Oh wow I wasn't expecting to see such a lovely message today!!
Pls have this kirby i painted this morning to get better at rendering + painting as a thank you note:
Honestly, i am genuinely moved by your message. Thank you sm for going through some of my artworks and writing such a nice, detail-oriented study of my colouring process.!!
I do value colour and spend extra time and making different version of the same drawing to find the vibe/feeling that fits the characters or bgs best. I strongly believe that when the right colours or textures are used the subject can really come to life, you know? :)
