"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.

What started out as a little doodle ended up being so much more, as to be expected when I put pencil to paper

Breaking in my new sketchbook with some quick sketches when I can’t sleep, but I liked the sketch of this one too much to not do anything abt it. Turns out this paper handles inks better than i thought too! So here’s a quick Jester, my fave of the Chaos Crew 🥺💙

Sketch + process under the cut!

#artists on tumblr #critical role #critical role fanart #cr2 #jester lavorre #traditional art #Gabriel's arts #okay i really love how she looks SOOOO id appreciate plenty love of my fave girl ; v ; <333 #i did the inks last so it wouldnt smear with my inks #i used a combination of copic sketch markesr. shinhan touch twin brush markers. nd artists loft brush markers #for anyone curious #i only used a lil bit of posca paint in teal and pink #for the outline of the green + some pink strands in the hair #i KINDA like how the hair looked more in the flats stage/before i brought my brush pen in #but its still good and i like it

Ang ganda yung art mo GGHHHOORLLLL!

I was looking at the line work you do and was wondering: do you ink it physically and then scan it, or is it fully digital? It's really good and gives a solid grit to it and adds texture to your works. How do you do that?

shdhfh maraming salamatttt 💞💕

99% of what I post here is all digital because I don’t really have access to a scanner very often! my inking style looks the way it does because I draw traditionally in my sketchbooks a LOT and the way I ink digitally is Exactly The Same as I do traditionally (which is why you see a lot of double lines in my inking, stray lines, or scribbling when I fill in solid blacks without the fill tool, I also always turn off any stabilization features a brush might have bc I don’t like the way it feels) and I often go looking for brushes that are gritty or crunchy so that it looks similar to the pens I use on paper!

You can see a bunch of the stray lines and general scribbling I did here, which is exactly what my irl sketchbooks look like, and the circled brushes (I edited these after I downloaded them all to have 0 stabilization) are the ones I used for it!

#I consider myself a traditional tools artist first and digital second so I frequently use traditional drawing techniques but. uh #make it digital?? #Wendy Xu has a flex nib brush that I grabbed when it was free that feels exactly like the flex nib pen I use so that’s the other one #I like dead line weights a lot tho so these brushes (above) are really fun to me #I have HUGE respect for people that do really clean and smooth line art and I love looking at it but I simply cannot stand it for #my own stuff. feels Wrong and Not Fun and low key kind of unrecognizable when I look at it after #ask tag #basically my whole digital art experience is trying to recreate my traditional art experience in some way. I’m on a constant #journey attempting to accomplish it #I also add a noise effect to the flat colors (between 5-7%) to mimic a paper ish texture

Drew some family portraits to figure out how I want to draw everyone!! I was so brave and basically kept them in canon greyscale even though coloring is my favorite thing in the world 😤

#in stars and time #isat siffrin #isat isabeau #isat mirabelle #isat odile #isat bonnie #silverstarsart #gotta say. no matter what website you're on 5 pics is an awkward amount #i experimented with using tints to bring in a little color without actually inserting color and i think that worked well #i also experimented with using textured brushes to add more visual interest but that worked less well. time-consuming for fairly- #imperceptible results since i also put my usual watercolor textures on top too #woulda been a lot quicker and less frustrating to just do flat colors and a couple extra texture layers!! #oh well i'm sure i've gained useful knowledge from the attempt #anyway i was so nervous about translating SUCH cartoony designs but it ended up less scary than i thought! i forgot i have fun doing that #though the one thing i got stuck on was bonnie's hat. if anyone knows like an irl equivalent PLS show meee i don't understand pillow hat 😭 #anyway i'm excited to draw them in more interesting ways now >:333

[licollisa]

what brushes do you use? sorry if you answered this i’ve been scouring and couldn’t find the answer 😭

ah yes an excuse to art dump

So i use Clip Studio Paint, debut version because im cheap, but these brushes should be available in other versions

The pencil i use is pretty interchangeable between those three. In my previous arts i posted i often use mechanical pencil for my lineart. This ask is a tad old so maybe that's what you're looking for?

The other brush I like to use is marker pen and mili pen

these are made with mili:

this one with marker:

hope this helps <3

#honorable mentions for the brushes i often use for coloring: transparent and dense watercolor #when painting it's oil paint flat brush with generally high amount of paint and density. i just change the setting to however i like #undertale #sans #frisk #chara #farm sans #core frisk #farmtale

[aqua-fluminis]

this ask has been making me laugh for the past couple days, so I had to draw @niuniente s character Alrick with some fat diamond nipple piercings.

#dhd alrick #I drew so many things I dont think ive drawn before lmao #also wasnt gonna use the flat brush but I ended up really liking the texture #ignore the hands i didn't want to make them a better shape they're the least relevant thing here #death head's deal #DHD_fanart

[rareship-rats]

Number one test of character. Show him the rats.

He accepted them. Yay!

#nosferatu #nosferatu 1922 #knorlok #knorlock #herr knock #count orlok #it's a very small fireplace okay? #ignore everything else that might be wrong with this #this one took me 3 days. more than usual 1 or 2 #i'm getting old and slow #I did NOT intend for this to be a finished drawing. wanted to stop at a sketch. but here we are #tried full-on manual shading #the characters are shaded without the use of multiply layers (except for orlok's skin) using just the brushes directly on the flat colors #considering the fact that i forgot how light works. i think i did well enough #the background and the ambient light are still multiply layers though. it would be a lot harder without them. and i'm lazy :P #but check out that fire #eh? #i actually like the desaturated look #also this one's just for fun #i slacked off on this one. i hope you can't see that #in my defense however. the horrors #i had fun making this and that's what counts
