#i ruined the lineart by adding color

[mortuscunningham]

my father preached on sunday and the church had funeral flowers sitting out from the day prior. i sketched them while i was there, then made this based on a few of them. i think it turned out nice.

i used Artist's Loft colored pencils and soft pastels, as well as a gelly roll while liner. the sketchbook is also from Artist's Loft.

Dnd oc Nadia for pose practice, and lineart practice. I'm doing some art training these past few months.

#my art #my ocs #i accidentally merged layers too early and ruined the lineart with a perspective blur -- #and wasted a lot of time trying to bring back the lineart from an older layer.... #lesson learned... but also i like being able to liquify all layers at once and it's a hassle unless they're all merged #maybe i should stick to 4 layers.. lineart .. foreground.. background adfkasdfh --- and atmosphere on top #nadia is so pink and golden that darker colors muddy outfit rather than adding contrast :(( -- #so i wound up putting big light on her cover up the muddy color mistake but now she looks overblown ajdfafhfhdskfj

this is so stupid but i actually quite like jayce's skin on this one--- it looks like its supposed to be

#coloring in general is a bit harder when your line isnt black; at least thats my experience. #you have to play more with colors to make them fit; and also some colors are not... registered as the actual color they are. #like for black i actually use deep purple; but it cant be too deep bc otherwise it ruins the whole aesthetic #with the line being lighter than the filler. i dont use actual black anymore i think; its always some shade or purple. #depending on the other colors i use a very very light shade of pink/red for white. i can also use actual white #but then again; it depends of the other colors lol. and in this case isnt even that light of a color. skin is other issue #i have a palette full of skin colors but i dont really use it for just the color-- i moreso use it as a reference. #then you have me being all stupid with the color wheel for a bit trying to find a color and the saturation that fits the piece. #and dark skins are kind of their own thing; bc otherwise it doesnt give the image of actually being brown #and actually gives the image of idk you fucking slapped a random color on them. and VEEERY rarely actual brown in the color wheel works #rn jayce's color is in a mix between pink and red. but it doesnt looks like that!! it mixes and looks brown in the piece. #i used a different color on the one with chase but that was because the lineart colors were different kjsnfkjndjfds #so yeah for someone who doesnt have that much of an eye for this; this is kind of a training in a way. its ok though #i refuse to go back to pure black lines the thought of doing them sickens me (no that doesnt means i dont like when others do them) #(and no im not saying using black lines its easier or not as worthy or something its not what im trying to say) #sorry for going in a ramble about how i color?? idk sorry i just thought about adding it #lilith whispers

Sleepless night (colored)

It's the end of @green-with-envy-phandom-event and I'm collecting all the lovely posts where my lineart was colored (and coloring it myself because people are inspiring)

Let's start with @englandamericaitaly who made an alcohol marker version of this with blinds shadows falling over Danny, and did an absolutely amazing save adding details where the markers made a happy little accident and I can't tell where that was. Awsome.

From @nanaarchy we get this version placed in the gore category because of the bruises but that's not the only thing that packs a punch in this one. The text bubbles adds so much to the piece and brings it all together. And I just have to point out the posters in the background and the Stars on the blanket! XD

@fuyuthefoxwriter gave us this version adding a NASA phone case and really showing the bright light in Danny's face from the phone. And you are right "The sleepy insomniac trying to sleepy without a ghost ruining it" it doesn't work, but maybe turning down the light levels on his phone would make it easier. ^^

Continuing with @balshumetsbaragouin submitting this version. My thoughts are just STARS! Yes! The gentle cell-shading gives a softness to this one and the text below is so true. School starts in 3 hours and no sleep.

We have @audaciousanonj giving us this version focusing on the light source of the phone (which was my intention when making the lineart XD)

Finishing off with @jamiethebeeart who made this version that has such calm and softness to it reminding me of the early mornings when the sun is on the face and one rolled over to avoid getting it in the eyes.

In high school in 2001, I drew a dragon.

He was an ocean-faring dragon named Prismata, the father of one of the main characters in a story I wanted to write called “Adrift.” The story centered around a small pond dragon named Koi that gets swept out to sea and meets a young sea dragon named Prism- Prismata’s son. Prismata has gone missing (”missing,” I know where he went, he ran off with Amethyst), leaving an imbalance in the local ecosystem’s hierarchy, as Prismata previously protected a huge swath of the ocean in the area. Prism has been struggling to hold onto the same territory against a young mongrel dragon named Rife that is determined to prove his worth. Koi arrives in the middle of this, and helps them to come to peaceful terms so they will take him home.

My mom, @mamaspark, adored the original drawing of Prismata, enough that she wanted to make a quilt of the drawing. In 2006, I redrew the drawing with a little simpler design, and she made the lineart into a pattern (pictured above, slightly chewed up by her cat, Finny, who was Helping as cats are wont to do). SIxteen years later, today, she presented it to me for my birthday!

The piecing on it is absolutely amazing, down to the little black claws that are actually individual pieces of fabric she stitched on with hair-thin thread. She sent it out for quilting to someone that quilted in the bubbles and the swirling water. The rainbow fabric on the edges came from a friend of hers. A lot of work and a lot of anxiety went into this, but it turned out perfectly imo!!

She made the grave mistake of telling me she almost put sparkly gems in the bubbles and colored the rainbow trail he makes in the water, but she chickened out because she was afraid to ruin it. I told her no amount of added rainbow would ruin this boy. So she still has it in her possession, hopefully to add rainbow to the bubbles, and I cannot wait to see it bedazzled!

What did Dr. Jester look like when he was alive? He looked like this! Yup, I've restored Dr. Jester's original form, the hypothetical Yester-Jester. He'd only go through with de-roboticization if Uncle Chuck/Sir Charles Hedgehog asked him to. (Yeah, Chuckster!!!) Dr. Jester could only be ruined by Uncle Chuck. Not reformed—ruined. tee-hee 🤭

Why would he give up his immortality...! What a fool.

My friend said that my art looked like a JJBA Stand stats eye-catch, so I added a pentagon for ability parameters. It helped me fill up the empty space. 😸 His intelligence is maxed out, but he certainly isn't as wise as Uncle Chuck.

I also included a version without the color layers. The lineart was my favorite part. Unfortunately, the pen I used can no longer be found.

palette 80 ancient ruins for mensah?

oh boy this is another one of my favorites so far

The palette made me want to draw Mensah on Preservation or in a way that represented Preservation's ideals. The second this image of her with a Plant popped into my head i was like YES. I did a sketch and filled in just the flat colors with no lineart and then was astonished at how striking & simple it looked, almost like a mural. I added lineart but only where I needed it, and in the same color as the background--the way I did it actually reminds me a little of Ancient Greek black-figure pottery, which is fitting given the palette name! And i distressed it a little with a layer mask to make it look painted and a little worn. I'm so happy with how earthy and soft this looks 🥰

(I'm making some fun & low stakes drawings from this palette challenge! I have plenty of prompts lined up but you can still send me a palette + a character or idea in my ask box! 💜)st

#stars art #palette game #ask game answers #murderbot #murderbot fanart #the murderbot diaries #mensah #this one is really simple but i think it's more impactful that way #also for once i did not have to hesitate over drawing a face or find a way around it #i've drawn mensah a bunch of times for my animatic project!! i know how to draw her!! #it would have been fun to give this a cool border but i didn't have the patience for it

Hazbin Hotel Episode 1: Live reaction

The animation of the intro was pretty good. It looked simple and cute. The story about Lilith and Lucifer sort of make sense now? It feels like an info dump to new comers (if any new people are even watching this). Also what's the obsession with Songs? The floating key looks a bit weird? Like they just pasted the image and decided to key frame it. But honestly I'd do the same- Vaggie's voice sounds monotone. Not in a good way but it sounds flat? Stephanie Beatriz is a good voice actor and singer, but her role in this under utilizer her talent in my opinion. 7 years of Lilith being radio silent? (haha get it. If the theory ends up being true). Didn't they say in the leaks that Alastor also disappeared for 7 years? The commercial scene starts... Katie Killjoy still doesn't look like a Mantis but oh well... Alastor is talking about Charlie's daddy issues... WAIT HE'S FROM THE 20s HE SHOULD NOT BE SAYING THAT?!. It should be more like "as she works through her personal problems relating to her father by making sure that you're fixed enough to get sent to heaven!" WHY DOES ALASTOR KNOW MODERN SLANG?! I know it sounds nit picky but I just want him to say old timey words- Oh finally, they added back his radio voice- I thought it'd just be that flat voice again. Did they actually listen to fans or was it an issue with the trailer. I'm only 4 minutes in- This is gonna be a long ride. What the hell is the perspective, and what the hell is going on with Vaggie's legs. So much swears. Lol, Alastor's pretty pissed about them trying to make him do a commerical.

Oh, it's been a week since the Pilot. Hey, what's with the music when Angel Dust pops up.

Angel Dust's voice is uhhh.... It sounds like Crimson but higher pitched. The accent feels off. Why is his entire personality sex sex sex. Why are his legs longer than his body. Alastor's chin is very pointy. Why is Lucifer calling Charlie- The ringtone sounds funny and the duck profile picture is cute, I'll give em that.

Angel dust's face looks a bit weird. Does anyone else agree with this? The phone's outline went from white to dark red (which blended into the couch), then light red?

WHY DOES THE LINEART OF EACH CHARACER CHANGE COLOR EVERY FEW SCENES Keith David's voice doesn't really fit with Husk... They reduced Angel Dust's personality to keep spewing sex jokes. Why. I'm only 7 minutes into this. There's 15 minutes more. Finally, Vaggie says something fire. (She calls Angel Dust out and tells him to let Husk do his job) Vaggie's mouth looks kinda weird in one scene.| Why is Charlie's face stretching. Charlie just cuts Vaggie off when she's asking legitimate questions through song-l The cuts are making me dizzy- (It's the Happy Day in Hell scene)

Oh, a helluva boss reference. (There's a truck with the label "Helluva Post" with the IMP logo) The song transitions feel a bit off, you get what I mean? Why does Adam sound like Michael Cera. (This is not an insult towards Michael Cera, I love his acting but I am serious when I say Adam sounds like him) Adam is a hologram I guess. Wait, if that leak is real then... Oh no WHY IS ADAM'S HEAD SO BIG. A commerical side plot? Alastor magics up a vintage camera and the camera looks like a png. Like it's not actually a png but it gives off that vibe since the lighting is different and the lineart thickness is way too thin. The new camera (a video camera) Alastor magics up looks like it fits in with the characters now because the lineart is consistent with the characters. If I ever see an Angel Dust scene (especially if it's with Husk), I'll just mute the episode because it's just a bunch of sex jokes (again). Another sex joke. Hilarious. Hahahaha. You can totally feel the genuine laughter in my laugh (/s). Dick joke after dick joke. The Nifty scene was pretty funny I guess, until Angel Dust ruined the moment with another sex joke. Nifty just stares into the camera.

7 MORE MINUTES, I CAN DO THIS Another Dr. Facilier and Alastor thing I guess. We can really tell how much Vivzie researched on Vodou. Vaggie and Alastor make a deal that Alastor helps the hotel while he never interacts with television ever again. The lighting and colors in this scene look really good. Angel Dust has an unnecessary small hot pink heart on the back of his suit. I pray for the animators. Why do they swear so much. Also the costumes are something. I'm skipping through the song. Adam's design looks so complicated. Vaggie's voice sounds so monotone.

Alastor's staticy effect looks cool though.

Charlie's demon form looks so... underwhelming.

Katie Killjoy's old voice was better. Now we're just stuck with a knock off Bryce Tankthrust and Blitzo sound-a-like. A headless corpse of an exterminator. That's something. Also heaven has sci-fi tech? Oh and Angels bleed gold? Also doesn't Adam mean to kill all sinners? What?

End of Episode 1. I'll organize my thoughts on a different post later. Also when the full season releases, I'll add photos.

i think they should play the cello. as a treat

i feel like i ruined this the second i added color but by the time i did it was far too late to turn back. thats the unfortunate peril of traditional art

i dont hate it, still, but i liked it much better when it was just lineart, rip. still sharing it

heres the sketch. while the lines arent clean it represents it well enough

maybe ill go over the sketch digitally someday and clean it up to be just black and white art

#akira scribbles #hollow knight #hk #the hollow knight #thk #fanart #theyre plucking cause i didnt wanna draw a bow #sorry for how shit the cello looks. despite being a string player for 8 years i still cannot fully grasp a cellos proportions #probably because im a violinist

[genericpuff]

Just rambling here bc I saw your post about putting the flat colors down first before inking and OMG it's so much better than lineart then adding the flats. you can get way better shapes and anatomy down when you aren't focused on lines. rachel why did you stop using this method DX

I have seen drawing footage of her lining over the colors that are from as recent as S3. Nowadays though it seems she just has her assistants flat everything out for her and put in the lines, most of the time it seems all she actually contributes is the shading and backgrounds after the fact (and it often ends up ruining the flats themselves, which is a huge bummer)

It's a great method though! I've definitely stuck with it since making that post, at least for Rekindled. And I've found it's helped me get an even stronger grasp on anatomy that I couldn't before so even when I do go straight to sketch and then lines, my proportions are coming out way better now. It's great :> <3

I used to really love this Chow's original design, and I hoped to trade for it. Then Saphir got it and ruined it like every other chow they get.

https://chowlingspecies.com/images/characters/0/900_rUejpxrk7B.png - honestly, cute design for Halloween. I like the tail.

https://chowlingspecies.com/images/characters/1/1336_meDgLibWyn.png - whatever absolute dogshit this is? and I don't mean the accessibility stuff either; im also disabled that isn't the part that's bad. It's such a vomit of design pieces.

the usual saunt boringness. oddly the lineart is clean edit: that's because it was drawn by someone else lmao

this looks like someone wanted a mignyan but ended up with a chowling. i think the main problem is just the pose. above all limbs were separate and visible from each other, but this one has them mostly overlapping and suffocating the space. it's just overcrowded and the added colors turned it from something clean and charming to something with too much

Sort of MercyTale Patchnotes but also not

Writing Chapter one and Figured I would give an update on how its going now that I finished the updated designs! continued underneath the cut~!

Prologue is done! with little glimpses of angst!

I have an editor now! my good friend Mouse/TastelessSkin agreed to help me out! :D

Melody is officially gonna be trans. not going to affect the story, but the idea wouldn't leave my head.

I know now that, canonically, Sans doesn't actually remember resets... but he kinda has too for this au to work (I'll try to keep him as canon as possible in other works of mine though)

Cover art is sketched out, so I just need to finish the background and lineart/color/shading and it'll be ready for the post!

I'm playing through a genocide run slowly while I write this- the idea is for me to be able to run around the underground so that I know what rooms come after which. its a lot easier on my brain than just looking up a map lmao

also kinda unrelated but Mouse found me a dark mode extension so now my eyes don't hurt/strain when trying to write.

Mouse is the best and I will fight ya'll on that.

Also, EVEN MORE EXTRAS.

...My brain decided to try and come up with what the different themes/music would be for the au and now I can't stop it lmao.

The ruins would be similar to their original theme, but more somber- kinda like your walking through an empty tomb.

Flowey's theme would be similar, though a bit less somber than the ruins.

Snowdin would seem verry calm, kinda give you the abandoned ghost town kinda vibe

Waterfall would be similar to the ruins. its original theme is already pretty somber though, so maybe just some haunting wind added to it?

Hotlands would be waaaayyy more quiet and less bopping than it usually is. unlike the others, it would also be a decent bit more ominous, like your slowly approaching something sinister.

the core would be even more ominous- its like, the ominous feeling is slow, starting in hotlands and coming to a climax after the core.

New home! this is where its REALLY unsettling. It would give you the feeling of being watched by something really, REALLY dangerous. like a giant predator is nearby but not yet chasing you.

Sans theme would, obviously, be megalovania, but it would be very orchestral. a slow build up, but once it got going its GOING. it would have hints of 'Your worst nightmare' and 'Finale' in it, but it would have quite a few more pieces of 'Megalo strike back' strung throughout it. It'd kinda sound like the boss music for an eldritch deity, or something out of monster hunter.

the Soul remnants theme would be their original themes (Bonetrousle, heartache, Spear of Justice, etc) but with a more haunting, somber feeling to them.

Honorable mention, but Melody's theme would probably be pretty cheerful. kind of a mix of toriel's theme and 'Your best friend'.

...yes I'm putting a lot of thought into the rewrite. this au/fic has been unfinished since 2017- I think its about time I finished it.

Gift Box Art for my dearest beloved @lunarcatten​ and @konveeart​  💗

(They were extremely late birthday presents that I enriched in care package for Christmas)

Making Process ⬇

So, I got a cardboard box like these to send a package and I really loved it so I decided that i wanted to use similar ones for those two and the idea to paint them came along, cause I thought it would be neat.

I sketched both ideas very roughly

Then proceeded to doing the full sketch on a different paper.

After that I scanned them to test out some color ideas (because I am not very good at colors). Catten’s eye girl was originally going to be in shades of pink, but I liked the Halloween colors better at the end.

After that I used the light table Konvee had gotten me for my own birthday a few years ago to re-draw the sketch on a new paper so I could eventually pressure trace it on the cardboard.

Due to the texture of the paper I couldn’t see what I was drawing very well, so I thought I might as well use a colored paper in between and see if it works. 

It did! And so, since I didn’t have carbon paper, I had to re-draw the sketch on both sides in order to transfer the pencil on the cardboard.

Suffice to say- I was super stressed during that process, because I had washi-tapped the A4 onto the box and drew over it, but I have no way of being sure it was working. So once I was done and removed the washi to lift it, I breathed a serious sign of relief before I started inking.

I used typical MICRON Sakura pens for the lineart. 

I was very happy for how they were coming along at this point!

I knew I would use acrylics to color them (not any specific brand). I think I had painted some cosplay props with acrylics in the past but I haven’t drawn with them. Generally I don’t draw traditionally too much and even less so with a paintbrush, but I wanted the colors to stick (shoutout to my mom for grabbing two tubes of white acrylic for me, because I didn’t have any).

I was really excited of how well they worked and how fast they dried. Having the reference I had made for colors was such huge help.

She was going to have a quote as well, but I didn’t trust my handwriting and I didn’t want to ruin this at this point, so I added hearts in her colors instead! 💛

I was very happy with this result and so I moved on with Konvee’s drawing. let me tell you- I was DREADING that hair.

I started from lightest to darkest, since it had worked well on the first one and then I started painting the hair. I did go to sleep at some point here in order to continue the following day.

Both their hair and the sky I ended up adding inside their dress took a lot of layers, not because the first ones didn’t look good, but because I was just indecisive. In the end, I made it!

Finally, I went over it all once more with the MICRO to revive the lineart and done!

I was really excited to give it to them, because some of the things included in these boxes I had kept in my wardrobe for half a year.

They both loved them and in case you’re curious, the boxes included pins, keychains, artbooks and some art supplies. ✨

[prisonhannibal]

how many layers does a typical piece of yours have?

too many. I delete and merge layers constantly, but photoshop counts every new layer so it’s naming every new layer as the total amount of layers you have. i’d say typically I use 80-250 throughout the entire drawing, although I’m never using that many at the same time. there are a couple reasons why I use so many: 1. I like being organized when I work so I sort things into folders and name all the layers, 2. I’m a huge perfectionist so I often duplicate layers to keep them “just in case” and when drawing things like fences i’ll use a brush of a certain size and draw lines to make sure the railings are evenly spaced, and then outline that for the lineart and then delete that first layer, and I redo things again and again and again until I’m satisfied, 3. when I use references for for example a balcony or wills face, it really annoys me to have them on the side so i’ll for example copy part of his face and drag it so it’s next to his face for a closeup, 4. when adding details sometimes i’ll make a low opacity white layer under my new layer so I can see more clearly what I’m doing over the older layers, 5. I use ctrl+shift+alt+e or whatever the shortcut is to copy all the layers pretty frequently to move things around or check how this or that would look without ruining the actual drawing. I also use this to compare several versions of the same drawing to see which one I want to use. and 6. I use new layers to fuck around with the colors, you’ll understand why I say that if I do a post on coloring. I have a specific technique I use but often it means I make a looot of layers.
