Found him in blue hues surrounded by yellow:

"The Max Level Hero has Returned" Chapter 14

Present in every ball gathering~

I'm sorry but are these guys important???

Just in case I meant the girl in the middle on the upper frame and the guy in the right of the lower frame.

I just noticed the girl cause her outfit was weird. *Look at her ribbon on her outfit and messed up dress* Her hair is too.... Light? She definitely stands out.

And the guy because his outfit looks like a rip off of a Sceptre 4 uniform

AND THEY SHOWED UP TWO TIMES 😱

things i did that forced me to be a better artist:

used a reference for everything

thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)

sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing

THUMBNAILS

color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work

you like that pose? redo it one more time

USE A DAMN REFERENCE

do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy

draw the goddamn background you coward

just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand

the rule of thirds WORKS

take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint

know that art takes longer as you get better at it

draw the seams on clothes

stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts

just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works

stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.

Oh and another girl just joined in btw

I just can't remember where I got it :(

I'll edit this once I remember. Oh and you can even see the yellow dressed girl doing the whisper pose in the "Lilian of Turin" manhwa and also the green dressed girl talking to her.

That's all have a nice day!

Edit:

They're all from "Roelin Walks the Future" Chapter 11

Update: "I Raised My Childhood Friend as a Tyrant" Chapter 42

With all these I have concluded that they are characters who travel into different dimensions to meet the main character.

Mostly found in balls and schools. They can disappear into the crowd as pleased and can avoid having their face pictured by the artist XD

She's either a ghost who can go through dimensions or a Frankenstein who placed the legs in the opposite way. -_-

I'm sorry I honestly forgot the name of this manhwa and just took a pic. I'll update this immediately after I find it.

(I have 18 tabs open for different manhwa, and I'm reading whatever's been updated so please bear with me T-T)

UPDATE: "The Bad Ending of an Otome Game" Chapter 8

Yeyyyyyyyyyy! Highly recommended btw, if you want a bit of angst but not much angst like me :3

TARGET UPDATE: I've Become the Ugly Lady (Chapter 18)

Chapter 19

An always changing scenery yet an unwavering man in a blue coat stays the same. With his back always against the people, what expression thus thy hold? What must he thy felt? What stories are stored in thy memories? The stories yet to be told~

By the man whose back isn't against the wall.

....the amount of times they were used though XD

Looks like we'll be seeing both of them at the academy

Glow Tutorial!

If you would like to watch and follow along check out the YouTube link! (Sorry it has no audio) >>> https://youtu.be/VRTuhcABd1g

The art program I use is Krita but these steps should translate to most other drawing programs, one way or another.

[silentglow88]

hiya there - your art is so pretty! it’s totally okay if you’d rather not answer but the way you shade clothes is really cool and I was wondering how you do it?

Ah thank you so much!!!!! I've done a tutorial on general shading before, but I'm happy to go more in detail on how I/ how to shade clothes! tho it's hard to explain how I clothes shade without just making a tutorial so... it's tutorial time, lads!

So obviously previous tips apply -- use different hues & colours when shading, etc. But fabric is weird! And needs explaining!

How to tip 1: (the really dumb tip) ACTUALLY LOOK AT CLOTHES!

I'm really into fashion & fashion history, so I very much enjoy staring at dresses for an inordinate amount of time. And this helps!

But what clothes to look at/ do studies of? You can't study every piece of clothing ever (sadly)! So I recommend primarily looking at couture (wacky runway fashion)! You get to see designers making fabric really push the limits, as well as seeing a wide range of textiles and how they act.

Working at extremes can be a great way to learn, bc then once you have the Weird Couture Crap down, normal stuff? a piece of cake.

(my clothing pinchrest board, if you're in need of refs! There are also historical period sections!)

Watching sewing/ clothes-making videos is also SUPER helpful, bc you get to see how clothing's actually constructed and where to put seams etc in your art! Things are much easier to draw when you understand them fundamentally!

How to tip 2: use shapes & lines to show flow

Like I said, fabric is weird! it's a solid object, but it doesn't act like that -- you need to give it FLOW in your drawings.

A lot of beginners draw fabric creases are all small lines -- but that's not right!! When shading fabric, make sure to use big and small areas of shading, as well as lines. Don't just stick to one or the other! I don’t really know how to show this, so here’s part of my recentmost art broken down colour by colour:

as you can see I'm using big chunks and small chunks of colours + lines to get the folding of the fabric across. There are also 3 main shadow colours/tones I used -- when shading fabric, it can be hard to show that flow properly while only using one shadow-colour.

Also!! on the lines -- use slightly curved lines! clothes generally don't crease in perfect straight... i need a synonym for lines i've said it too many times. Here’s a bad diagram:

(classical statues are also a great thing to look at to learn Fabric, bc it’s easier to see the folds in marble)

That being said, you can always make the stylistic choice to use sharp lines! nobody's stopping you! Tho try to learn how things ACTUALLY are before stylising — that took me a very long time to learn, and I wish I’d listened to people that said it earlier 😂

I hope that helps!! As always, I know my Help Posts can be pretty vague, so if you want me to elaborate on anything, feel very free to drop an ask!!

[silentglow88]

VALUES Y'ALL! IT'S IMPORTANT! Put a correction layer on top of your shit to turn it into greyscale, and you will see if it's contrasted enough! If it's not, correct it! A simple color theory basis, too easy to forget U__U

[silentglow88]

How do you draw the alien & dragony feet so well?? I can never get the toes right, any advice?

Sure do! I usually start with a human-ish shape then extend the toes into a dragony shape. Knowing the basics helps when you want to make something new:

A lot of times you can get away with just drawing the basic shape and some nonsense lines to mimic muscles/tendons and it’ll look good!

If you want to know more about how legs work on the inside I’d suggest looking at the legs of emu, ostrich, big cats, deer, and horses. Emu and ostrich legs will give you a look at that scalie/fleshy toe texture. The tendons in big cat paws are very dramatic and have that perfect little M shape to their toes because of their retractable claws. Looking at the leg bones of horses and deer, especially the hind legs, will help you better understand how digitigrade(”backwards” bending) legs work.
