How I make my moodboards on Ibispaint x !
For people who don't know ANYTHING about Ibispaint ;3
(pink is for beginners, if you use ibispaint more often I recommend looking at the purple text (つ≧▽≦)つ)
[For reference here's some of my moodboards as I post them on a seperate account @ldshadowbeanz]
Open ibispaint and make a new project
[ I use the 1 : 1 you can change the size when you click on the part I circled with blue :D I personally use 1280 x 1280 if you want a custom size u can fill it in on the square at the top ^_^ ]
(scroll the bottom row till you see frame and click on it)
3. Put the rows and columns to 3 (if you want a 3x3 moodboard that is) and adjust the thickness (marked part) to your own liking!
(I would like to add that the color I put is really light and I don't recommend this for now as it'll be annoying to paint bucket)
4. Color the squares on seperate layers (I recommend giving them different colors)
( ^ the colors aren't important just make them different :) )
[this is all we're gonna use but don't worry I'll explain them rn :D]
The + basically means adding a new layer to color on :3
The 📷 means adding a pic [duh]
The arrow pointing down is clipping, basically it only makes the layer above visible on the stuff the layer underneath has colored (it's really obvious once you teat it out)
The lock with an a in it is an alpha lock :D it makes it so you can color in something you've already colored (pretty similar to clipping just the same layer)
The 'normal' (album hehe) basically lets you set the blending (?) thing :D like overlay, soften, etc!
The trashcan is obvious I think
The + with the ends being arrows just lets you move stuff (and stretch stuff! + rotate and sizing)
The 🌓 basically puts colors in reverse! This is so useful please trust 🙏🙏🙏
The 3 dots basically add some stuff you can do with a layer including removing white of a layer! [Which is why we need 🌓 🙂↕️]
Not circled but we'll also need the 100% - ——— + thingy ! This changes the opacity ! :3
[drag the layer underneath the table and with a bucket click on one of the white spaces, when you've done one add a different layer, click on the one next to it, add a new layer, and continue this till you've filled out all the squares on seperate layers ]
[To change color click on the black square in the middle of the bottom of your screen]
[drag the white circle to change color!]
5. add a new layer over the square you want to fill first ( I usually start with the middle one ), clip the layer and add a pic after!
(Click on the blue circle firs then the red one )
You can change the size and position with zoom, translation x and translation y or by dragging the pic :D
6. merge the clipped layer with the square (just click twice if you have an empty layer aswell
7. Repeat the steps 5 and 6 for all the squares!
If you want to change the color / vibe of a pic I recommend brightness and contrast or Hue saturation lightness in the adjust color section of effects!
if those don't satisfy you you can add an extra clipped layer with a color and set it to one of the following settings
[i use the blue marked ones but feel free to play around :D]
just use alpha lock and color it in with a regular brush :D
9. Add cool overlays invert the color if the png /overlay you want to use has a black bg and a white body (?) and then click clear white (color) :3
First blue then red this only works if the overlay is white or black with a white or black background ^_^! If the bg is already white no need to invert color ofc
you can also squish things like this using the lasso tool
10. Final step!! Add a transparant png and add a stroke in the color of the table
use the water bucket tool, select the eraser and click on the white part :D sometimes it leaves white edges around the image. I suggest using a regular eraser for this :) [also if someone knows how to fix this please lmk]
Go to effects and scroll till you see stroke both :D then change the color to the one of the table and the size till you're safisfied :)
