真っ黒な雪

As a place where a crowd of artists is hanging out, pixiv is filled with tips, tutorials, and resources. But having a deal with its tags-based works arrangement can be a challenge. There is a list of tags labeling useful stuff on pixiv. メイキング — “making”. Step-by-step records of creating a piece. 講座 — “course”. Tutorials of any kind. フリー素材 or 素材 — “free material” or “material”. Textures, screentones, stock objects, et cetera. ブラシ — “brush”. トーン — “tone”. Screentones. テクスチャ — “texture”. パターン and シームレス — “pattern” and “seamless”. 線画 and 塗ってもいいのよ — “lineart” and “it’s okay to color”. Free linearts for coloring. Usually these tags are used together, but give a care to ascertain that “it’s okay to color” is presented.
