You know need be like the best ever right? He'd be the most famous and prestigious makeup artist. And he'd see Yuuri and instantly fall in love and Yuuri's going around like, "I'm only popular because of your work, if you weren't here they'd see in ugly." And Victor is just sad and indignant because Yuuri is the most beautiful angel ever. He knows that Yuuri makes the makeup look better not the reverse.

Ahh I love it so much! And Victor convinces him, step by step, how beautiful and loved he really is

This is 100% self-indulgent thing, i just needed more victuri girlfriends in my life

в моей жизни непростительно мало прекрасной Вики

I decided that we need more of the beautiful Victoria

[malamirie]

can you believe I’ve been in this fandom for almost 2 years and yet cute soft romantic Victuri content still just fucking E N D S me? You’d think I’d be over it by now but NOPE, catch me dying over a cute fanfic where they KISS or soft fanart or when the fucking ring scene shows up on my dash for the millionth time.

If you're still taking tutorial suggestions -- could you do one on how to use different layer modes, or which ones are good for different kinds of effects?

Thanks for the ask, Anon! 

Ok, so, to be honest I’m still learning a lot of this myself but I’ll try my best to give you most of what I’ve figured out! 

Here’s my list of important layers that I use the most and why: 

Normal Modes: Basically just use normal here. Dissolve is ok if you want to play around a bit but otherwise I don’t use it. 

Darken Modes:

Darken: use for shading when you want to desaturate. It’s basically the same as multiply but it keeps your grey colors better.

Multiply: Helpful for shading, automatically makes the layer you’re using into a darkening layer. Con- it excludes your light colours, so it can change the values in your piece.

Color burn: I use this sparingly for skin etc. It adds a red “burn” tinge to some areas with can be helpful but is waay too easy to overdo.

Lighten Modes:

Color Dodge: a good layer for easily adding sunlight effects etc, but be careful as it’s easy to overdo and wash out or overpower your light areas

Linear Dodge (add): I use this for textures I want to import because it’s not as destructive as other layers. Mainly use this if you want to add in some sparks, stars, or rainbow effects from photos. Anything you like with a black bg will be ok. 

Composite Modes: I don’t use any of these to be honest. Play around with them at the late stages of your painting if you want to test them out, but otherwise I usually find they’re too inneffective or destructive to my pieces

Color Modes:

Color: I use this if I want to add undertones to skin last minute or saturate an area more without adding an adjustment layer. It’s really good for adding color to your paintings without changing your black and white values too much etc. It sometimes works better when you paint directly on the layer you want to change with “color” as a brush mode instead of a new layer, so try it that way if it’s not working the way you’d like at first.

Hope this was helpful! Don’t hesitate to send me more asks about art stuff!

oh also here’s a drawing study I did to give you an idea of it in practice:

I started with a black and white sketch which I changed to “multiply”, 

added a “normal” layer underneath with a neutral skin tone

used a “color” layer to tweak the saturation of the skin,

 and finished it off with “color dodge” for the highlights!
