I am slime, god of the tree

Oooh buddy, I LOVE making tutorials and explaining my way of drawing so prepare for a long (and hopefully helpful) post! >:D 

Ok so first of all: I use Clip Studio paint pro and a simple Bamboo Manga Tablet from Wacom. (I’ve been using this tablet for 8 years now and it still works perfectly fine and never gave me any trouble!~ It has a great pen pressure, setting it up is very easy and it’s not super expensive) 

I tried many different art programs and Clip Studio (back then it was called mangastudio 5) is still my absolute favorite. It provides you with everything you need as an artist, is very easy to understand and not as overpriced as other programs (I’m looking at you photoshop). So if you don’t have a lot of money (like me, I’m fucking poor X’D) and still want something of quality I’d definitely recommend it.

Time for the brushes:

My main brush for outlines and sketches

My absolute fav brush for shading (Opacity is around 40%)

The 2 brushes that are displayed up here are part of a set that you can download for free on this page. I love them for their rough look and they fit my sketchy art style perfectly. Sadly I can’t find the original set anymore but I made screenshots of their names:

I cannot stress this enough but you should always download new brushes and try them out. And this page is perfect for that (nearly all of them are free)! Using new brushes and combining different ones can give your art so much more personality.

But just a quick tip. I know that the range of brushes is gigantic and can be quite overwhelming. So download everything that might interest you, try them all out and only keep as little as possible! Having too many brushes will confuse you and you’ll spend more time searching through them than drawing. I’ve downloaded over 400 and only kept around 20. I only use 2 of them for my drawings and the rest is for manga backgrounds and action lines. 

Now for the drawing itself:

I’m a quick artist and I care more about speed than quality. I always hated making multiple sketches so I’ll just draw the outlines

-

and fix them up without a previous sketch or making a new layer. That’s why most of my drawings look very rough and don’t have a clean look. (but I like that~)

-

For the color, I just fill in the entire picture with a neutral looking color and use the bucket tool to remove every unwanted color around the drawing. That way you won’t have any white pixelated edges inside your drawing and can add other colors quickly (again, with the bucket) without having to draw every single color per hand. Saves time and looks fine. 

-

For shading (in this case his skin) I’ll combine the skin color with the color that I’ll use for shading inside this net. That way I can choose from multiple options to find the perfect color. ~

-

At first I’ll add rough shadows with dark red (Opacity 60%)

-

And then smooth them out with a lighter red. (Opacity 40%)

-

Now I’ll quickly add the last details and a few white spots on his hair and skin to give him a more realistic look

-

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Dead by Daylight! It’s time to see How Far We’ve Come!

Thank you so much to all the participants for this project! It was a rough road to travel, but we’ve finally done it and the turnout was amazing! I’m so proud of everyone who put their best foot forward to provide a beautifully stunning result of this video!

Anyone who participated and those who spread the word deserve the world, thank you so much for getting people to reach out to me. Not to mention those who helped me at the last second for parts I thought hope was lost. This is just the beginning, and I hope that with every coming year, we only grow stronger and more bonded as a community.

The pieces in this project include some familiar faces from ask blogs and others who simply wanted to help out and provide a beautiful look into the hearts of DbD characters. I really hope I didn’t forget anyone on the list in the vimeo description, there were so many people ready to help that I may have lost track. (DM me, I’ll fix it!) Some however, did get forgotten in the actual credit roll in the beginning, but that doesn’t mean I don’t value you and the hard work you put into this! I’m just incredibly forgetful and finished this all at 2am.
