HOW TO MAKE YOUR ART LOOK NICE: Reference and Style

To all those artists out there dealing with artblocks, here are some tips for getting that mean art block out of the way using the power of references and how it can help in developing your style!

Color Harmony

'AIGHT I'm gon let you in on a secret here:

None of the brushes I use are the default ones that came with SAI, save the (simple circle) one. Hold on to your knickers this here is gonna be a master post of all the brushes I use.

SKIN BRUSH

Funnily enough I dont use this for anything skin related — I use this brush to get that almost-crayon like look, smooth but rough around the edges. Also important note!!! Mess with the slider next to your brush shape to get different effects!

CROSS HATCH BRUSH

I use these brushes so much it’s ridiculous, I am in LOVE with them. I use them in tandem with my flat brush quite often.

MISC BRUSHES

The only brushes I kept from this pack are listed above, and I use them for splatter/ grunge texturing amongst other things~ That’s not to say the rest aren’t good — they just don’t fit my style;; they might work for you tho!

FLAT BRUSH

Unfortunately, I can’t help you get the link to this specific one, which is a bummer because this is the brush i use most often AND for line art. The site I got it off of no longer exists and I don’t know if the artist uploaded it somewhere else (I think someone told me it was on pixiv?? but i cant navigate my way around that site worth a dang. If someone could link me it I’d be happy to edit this post) I’d recommend checking out this blog to find a good substitute tho!

HOW TO INSTALL CUSTOM BRUSHES

Introducing Character Drawcember!

This is a series of drawing prompts I designed for myself to get into a better rhythm of art production and also to think in depth about my characters. I’m posting this in case anyone else would like to work through the list too! :) I purposefully designed the workload to be relatively relaxed, since December is a busy month for a lot of people, myself included.

RULES: Use whatever of your own characters you want to use. You can stick to the same couple of characters or use all different ones. Any medium, and they don’t have to be consistent in style or technique. Basically there are no rules, just use this as a fun opportunity to work on your cast of characters. If you do decide to do this challenge, use the tag Character Drawcember!

WEEK ONE (Dec 1-7)

Sketch…

…a protagonist

…an antagonist

…an old character you don’t use anymore, and then redesign them.

Finish one of these into a full-color piece.

WEEK TWO (Dec 8-14)

Sketch…

…the inside of your character’s room.

…your character as a child, adult, and senior.

…an alternate universe version of one of your characters.

Finish one of these into a full-color piece.

WEEK THREE (Dec 15-21)

Sketch…

…a big group shot of your characters.

…a fake screenshot, as if your characters had their own movie

…your character’s favorite place

Finish one of these into a full-color piece.

WEEK FOUR (Dec 22-28)

Sketch…

…your character in someone else’s style (credit who you were inspired by!)

…three different outfits for your character

…free day- you choose what to draw with your character
