#gacha tutorial

the colours have to be the same as the one you pick for the outline or you’ll see all the parts it’s made of. You can make it lighter near the face

I colour coded the different pieces to match the second picture to hopefully make it easier to see what goes where😅

First make a character with only a head

Make that head a pink square

Then add the glasses and face detail and position them

And you’re done

You now have a trans flag

Ok so when I start I will remove the shadow and make the skin colors fit together more (I don’t like making mine with the drastically different colors like some do)

Example of how close in shades I like to have the skin

I then go in and adjust the head. I have found that depending on the character and how much hair it has the best sides are between 0.8 and 0.65

With the hair, I go to the front hair first and pick one I like. I then go and see if any of the rear hair looks good with it.

On occasion I will add side hairs, but only if the hair has a weird cut for the ear will I always put it on if the front hair doesn’t cover it.

Hair Tips and most hair is adjusted in a weird way, so remember to adjust if you want to add one

This is how I do the hair colors, shade much darker but a similar to the base. The outline is slightly darker than the base.

Highlights Can have drastic differences than the rest of the hair, but similar but lighter than the rest is my preference.

Mess around with eyes, think of if your character has siblings or their personality, you should (in my opinion) make them similar to reflect that. Remember Adjustments are your friends.

Eye shape I don’t have a personal preference for but with coloring, Base and Trim should either be the same or the trim should be slightly darker to act as the shadow. The shade should be lighter than the base. The Outline should be the same as the Trim (if trim is darker) or slightly darker than the base if both base and trim are same.

Pupil I don’t have any tips on but if you are adjusting you will have to do the right separately. Tip: undo the X flip to make it easier

eyelashes base should be darker than the outline, while the trim should be the color of the outline, or if the eyelashes you choose are darker should be lighter than the base.

When doing the mouth, Outline is usually the same color as the outline for the outline for the skin. Tongue I usually make paler than the default color. Nose I have no tips on but outline is same as skin

For face details I chose one of the little blue ones and use the outline color once again.

For clothes, I take inspiration from Pinterest and people who are better at clothes. I did have to cut this a little short cause I have more than 30 photos for this (oh well) but here is the before and after.

Apologies for this being super long and drawn out but oh well

I use screenshots because my storage wouldnt hold a whole screen recording🗿👊

First, get a screenshot of your oc

Second, crop your image and put in on Ibis Paint🗿

Now, you would like to give some dark scene effect by

Using this dark shade of colour and fill your whole image with it

You can use the saturation to make it transparent

Now erase some of the shade colour to give highlight effect on your oc

Next, you can add the lighting wherever you want it to be

How to make the lighting is to use normal airbrush brush and use the layer effect to support the colour

Idk what is it called in English, just try find this effect in that position🗿

Now, swipe some of those lightings as the place where you want it to be
