#art tips

i took me so long to get it, because i just wanted to sit down and make an amazing drawing on the first try. Yeah sure, sometimes that works, but more often than not i'd end up disapointed by the first drawing and either have a bad feeling for the rest of the drawing session or straight up close the sketchbook.

lets look at these drawings i made of my babe catra for example

(bit of a crappy picture but anyway dgsh)

the first drawing was crap. the fourth drawing i was really happy with.

your gonna wanna set a 15 minute timer, get a large or any sketchbook you have and fill the pages on time

I dont have a specific rendering process since my style changes on the brush I use but MOST of the time I roughly sketch something and on that same layer I directly lay colors and render !

As for the color picking I tend to use saturated hues and light greyish colors for shadows ! Then I mess around with gradient maps and overlay ദ്ദി˶˃ ᵕ ˂ )

the completed character design board me and my friend @buttersugartoasted made!! theres 100 pins in each section (animals for reference, poses, items, outfits, and general design traits) and fully organized!! feel free to use this board as much as you want, and enjoy!!
