hello! i love your zelink stuff sm😭 do you have any advice on how you get your characters so textured? like,, idk how to explain, but the clothes, hair and skin have a cool smudged effect. it might be rendering, but i really like your style of it!

uhhh okay im not sure exactly what you mean so i'm just going to go over everything you could potentially be talking about lmfao. (this is the problem with having multiple coloring styles)

what i think you're probably talking about is the very soft, smudgy rendering style that I sometimes use for more finished pieces. I haven't used it that much recently though so i'm not entirely sure?? for examples it looks like this:

this is a combination of 3 different sai brush presets. I sketch with a custom crayon brush, do flat colors with sai's default paper acrylic brush, and shade with a custom watercolor brush, and then i do a second pass overtop of all that with the crayon brush again to smooth things out and define important details. these are the settings for those brushes:

if you're talking about the kind of cleaner block-color look like this, which I think is the style I use most often:

this is the same crayon brush and paper acrylic brush mentioned above, but instead of shading with the soft watercolor brush I use the same paper acrylic brush to cell-shade. color and line do most of the heavy lifting here, since the only brush with any special texture is the paper texture on the crayon brush that's used for the linework.

the third potential style this could maybe (?) be about is this rougher, more obviously textured style, although in my mind i wouldn't call this 'smudged':

this is my new holy grail brush. i love her and i use her for absolutely everything. this one is for CSP, not sai. it's called sketches / doodles by REN99W, content ID 2024976 on the asset store, and it's FREE which is insane because it's the best csp brush ive ever used in my entire life. its pressure sensitivity is really cool because at normal pressure it will basically act like a normal linework brush with a bit of nice crunchy texture, but if you press harder than normal you get that sort of spray effect that looks almost like a halftone. literally incredible. works for sketching, lining, painting, ANYTHING. this brush has carried my art for the past semester and a half

#asks #i hope one of these was the answer you're looking for <3 if not im gonna need a specific example because i switch it up so often lol

Hey!

I absolutely love your backgrounds 💚 Everything you do actually, but I’m really curious about the backgrounds…

Do you use Procreate for your comics? If so, what brushes do you use?

I’m learning how to animate, but I’m having trouble with what to use for this 🙈

I DO use Procreate! But some of the brushes I custom (sadly I don’t remember where I got them from.

But here are the names for the ones used in the recent update for Dimenchant and Viola.

Canvas text for the textures in the background of the Bros’ house.

Funny Haha Brush is for the line art.

And all of the grass stuff is custom as well as the previous two.

aaaa have been coming across your drawings and they’re so nice! if it’s alright to ask, what csp brushes have you used, esp watercolor ones :0c!

i use this set for water colours ! specifically an edited version of the ●水彩マーカー/二色 brush to heighten opacity and get rid of the double colour thing

remember tho !! its all about how u weld the brush . for a more authentic look id treat it exactly like how it would work irl . so no erasing once its done . once its down its down

+ for more vibrant colourations id recc duplicating the colouring layer and putting that second layer down to 50 % opacity : ) that way its more opaque while keeping the texture

i wish u luck anon 🫡

hey hedge! i have been following you for a while now, and i hope you know that everytime you post one of your painting pieces my jaw drops and i literally am in awe. id really love to learn how to do the painting-esque style that you have- i was wondering if you maybe had any tips on getting started, or even just how you started yourself?

wonderful job :) i want to be just like you someday

Hey thank you so much !! 🫶 sorry for taking a while to respond, I held onto the message trying to figure out what makes my style mine since i can’t see it from an outside perspective. I think I started to paint the way I do now cuz I tried to mimic the cel shaded style of botw and realised how much I love the result. I used to paint in a very airbrushed blended way and I always felt that my painting looked shit

Trying out cel shading made me feel much more confident in stuff like placing shadows, highlights, sculpting shapes, and even picking colours

When I paint I use a very restricted amount of brushes. I think that’s what achieves the painted look since I depend more on brush strokes to imitate texture?? (My best guess) maybe if u are experimenting, try changing brushes and sticking just to one for a painting and see how u can get the most use out of it and u might find a favourite - or even a new style that u really like

Peace and love

#pink posts #i saw a tweet that was like “i see other people's art” --> i get discouraged #i understand that seeing art that is prettier than yours can be discouraging but why not twist that a bit? #why does it look prettier to you? is it the colors #is it the textures they used? the brushes? #study them and try to put your spin on it #and maybe you'll find your art beautiful as well

I lowkey forgot I never shared this drawing. It was like one of the first ones I did after rewatching s3 cuz I had no idea how to draw kids. Anyways they deserve the biggest nap known to man pt 2 where they are teenagers.
