Hello Anon! (ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ)

So, one day @shadeops21 gave me an asset of Ghost's tattoo from the actual model in the game and it looks like this!

(IT'S SO FUCKING EDGY HOLY FUCK 😭😭😭)

And because it's not clear enough and not big enough for an actual asset that I can use on my drawings, guess what my detail-oriented ass did! Yep I retraced and redrew it!

Did I just post my 4 hour work of retracing here? Yesh! The image is yours to use for your convenience and is at your disposal. This is my homage to the fandom I guess (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

What I could say about how to apply them is probably these ones :

Remember that this is the whole ass sleeve that circles the whole arm. So when you draw Ghost, only parts of the arm should be visible, so don't fit the whole ass sleeve into your drawing. Erase some.

I'd mask/change the color with a dark red/dark purple to match the skin a little bit, then distort the asset so that it matches the angle and perspective, then mask/clip it down to the skin layer!

Eras some parts of the tattoo that gets light with textured brush so it blends with the skin texture. then add shadow and lighting, and voila!

Hello Anon!

It's been a long time since I made a drawing tutorial/tips. This one actually caught my eye since I did have a hard time on this, but after a few months of research, I finally got the hang of it!

Here's my way/tips on military camos!

Know that there are LOTS and LOTS of camo patterns, each one is for different types of terrains, and each country's military uses different types of camo patterns as well.

So, decide where your character come from. Then, look up on Google the camo patterns that the military uses, or you can use these websites :

Camopedia, a website that is dedicated to documenting the camouflage design, development, and history.

Wikipedia List of Military Clothing Camouflage Patterns according to the countries.

2. Once you found the name of the pattern, search it up on google for tracing and reference. You can even find the a free vector on google as well. If you can, find a large image and repeatable image so that you can make it look seamless.

3. Trace it/ just save the image. Yes it's fine. camo patterns doesn't really belong to anyone, and you can use it freely, especially for art. I usually make vector image and saves it as an asset so I can just use the image every time I'm drawing a military character.

How I Apply Camo Pattern Image to My Characters!

I'm going to draw Captain Eleanor "Ladybug" Graham, my Call of Duty OC. She's an American combat medic, which mainly uses Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP). Here's how I apply the camos :

Draw the character and add base color with the clothes on different layer.

Color the character on a different layer. Alpha Lock it.

Open the camo pattern image, put it above the base color layer, then clip it down! IMPORTANT : the size of the camo pattern is actually pretty big on the uniform. Look up references to see how the camo pattern scales to the clothes. Don't make it look too small.

Don't be afraid to copy paste it over and over and place it carefully to make it seamless.

4. To shade the clothes, add another layer above, clip it, then change the effect to multiply. Then, shade away!

Tadahh~! Now you have a badass soldier as your character! (👉ﾟヮﾟ)👉

Okay there is no way I can make this in only few steps so I made

PART 2. HOW I MAKE / SHADE “cartoonish” FUR! > PART 1. HOW I MAKE/ SHADE “realistic” FUR! Notice that even if I use Paint Tool SAI, everything I do here, can also be done in any painting / Drawing program just as photoshop, GIMP, painter, Paint shop pro etc. Also I am not going to tell you how to color Black and white images. Click here if you want to know how that is done. SOOOO

sorry im not quite sure what you mean but im assuming youre talking about the rainbow shit

i dont know all the art terms so bear with me

to add to this post, i start by just putting some random colours down then blending them out. for trolls i use lots of green blue and purple cos i guess my ocular cones n rods tell me cool colours are closer to grey than warm ones are

then i pick a colour for the high points and blend out with adjacent colours to get that rainbow effect

yellow is a good colour cos you can blend from yellow to red or yellow to blue and it will look nice + allow you to include lots of different colours which adds to the holographic/iridescent/whatever effect and still give an impression of depth without having to add heaps of black and muddying up the colours

you dont have to use yellow though, i just reckon its the easiest jumping off point. below i just changed the hue in photoshop n got cyan. it still looks like its got depth and all that but now are colours are limited, we missing yellow and orange. try different shit out though. pink is nice too 

these are like fairly bad pics but below are some ways to do this with yellow as the colour of your high point/bits where the most light is bouncing off

think of the arrow going from the highest to lowest points. i like doing it the way i have in the middle pic cos i reckon its a bit more fun and dynamic. but yeah dont limit yourself to yellow! plenty of other colours out there in the big wide world. and dont worry if it looks garish you can always edit it later on 

anyway you dont have to think too long and hard about like colour order or anything though. the main thing is just putting the right colours next to one another, so if youve got a green patch and a red patch blend them together with some yellow, orange/red goes between yellow and purple, etc etc

sometimes its better not to plan things too much

a friend asked so ive uploaded my line art brush to clip studio assets! its just a default brush, nothing too special

get it here - https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1891804

i want the final thing to have a vignette so i sprayed literally just straight black on the edges. no filters or special layers it’s just black

then went to colour balance and changed it to warmer tones

and yeah:) now it has colours that i can go ahead with that fit the vibe im going for and work well together and i didn’t even need to put any thought into it! and then i can paint further and build onto those colours:)

Then I found this website:

https://mycolor.space/

My suggestion is to put in the starting hex of any color that dominates your piece; for instance, I may use the main navy of a character’s outfit. Then it gives you a TON of different combinations that complement it based on whether you want a simple a gradient, or something that contrasts its position on the color wheel, or to tweak tones/shades.

Just in case you forget this exists.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.
