☆I have stars in my eyes~☆

A guide on my process for colouring like in the Arcana which I developed through studying the style.

Now, this is just for sprites or for neutral lighting. In the case of most memories/CGs, you have more interesting colours to use, but the process is identical. There are just extra steps.

Using my favourite memories for each character as examples (hopefully, you can tell which ones) you can see this process. All of this happens on layers above the base drawing.

Usually, you set a colour-filled layer to the setting “multiply” over the entire drawing, then using a “screen”, “add”, or “hard light” layer, you add the lighting. Depending on the intensity of the lighting, the outline will be coloured to be lighter.

The shading colour rarely changes, aside from slight hue changes.

Misc advice/tips/tricks below. I may update it depending on if I get further questions.

To celebrate an instagram milestone, I'm finally trying to illustrate my CG process. This could be more detailed, but I was trying to keep it decently readable for other platforms.

New Characters: Rosaline & Beatrix! 💛💚❤️

A mother-and-daughter pair of potion makers bring where they're excellent remedies, more than useful potions, interesting balms and even very curious magical objects. Rosaline, the mother, lives in Vesuvia, taking in the young Cassiopea and receiving help from the brilliant Asra. And once every two years she visits her old home, Nevivon, where a magical shop welcomes her. This one is run by her daughter, Beatrix.

Both have lively personalities despite the hard lives they've led. They carry hope, smiles and a certain stubbornness. The latter is something Rosaline inherited. Perhaps that's why she's overcome so many of life's challenges and remains steadfast in the face of subsequent waves.

Today I introduce you to Rosaline and Beatrix, Cassie's aunt and cousin. Although they're not related by blood, they're a true family, and Cassiopeia couldn't be happier to have them.
