#jolt rambles

you actually have no idea how overjoyed this little alien makes me

they so small🥹

Aww I'm so glad!

Here's more of the bumper car baby for you :3

I haven't the slightest idea....

Nah but fr - here's a list of my favorites!

Not rude at all! It's neat to hear that someone thinks my art looks soft!!

(FYI - this was asked all the way back after I posted my Benom piece, and I believe that's what this ask is referring to... sorry for taking so long ;o; )

I'm nowhere near a professional, but if I had to guess I think it's a combination of simple brush and opacity settings. A brush I frequently use is the marker brush, and when used in combination with Medibang's Watercolor Edge settings, it makes for light strokes that can be piled on with top of each other.

I have a style that's more cell-shaded and one that's more watercolor, and here's the sort of guideline I go by when trying to achieve either look.

As for lineart, I actually don't take it too seriously ;w; If you zoom in to any of my art, you'll see that it's usually very itchy scratchy; I tend to try to finish that part quickly since I think colors are more fun (Though nowadays I'm trying to take line confidence more seriously, especially in animations). I typically draw things with red or yellow undertones, so I like to make my lineart red and set it to multiply - but on occasions when the character or setting has purple, blue, or green undertones, I make the lineart dark blue instead.

If needed, I'll lower the opacity of the lines a smidge, duplicate it, then blur the layer on top to make it look softer as well - though I usually do this so the eyes of the character look more 3-dimensional.
