if you don't mind asking, the people (me) would like to know if you can share the tiktoker that inspired you to make the new rendering style because is so so pretty or if you can't find them if you can give tips on how to render like that, no pressure for neither but I am really loving how it looks literally chewed on both the baxter and cove art fdgfdg
I actually have the tiktok saved just for a frame of ref on how the messy render style would look LMFAO, heres the tiktok that inspired this whole color style and im pretty sure they also make a tutorial on how they do that specific render style
But! I have my own spin on it so heres some tips on helping understanding and achieving this way to render
So for starters i only use the charcoal brush for the entire thing but u can use any texture brush of ur choosing
i treat this coloring style how i treat color pencils or color pastels in real life
Meaning i start sketching with like a more lighter color
Its preferable to like usually sketch with either purple, pinks or reds but i usually sketch with how the vibes are feeling rn or what kinda color i associate the chr with LOL
The after that i just proceed with flats and heres the fun part
With how i shade in general i very much rely on my color wheel
Basically when adjusting colors like lets say i wanna shade i adjust the color wheel to the left and adjust the colors saturation but thats depending on how dark you want your shadows to be, if you want them to be darker just keep adjusting a bit more to the left of ur color wheel and lower the saturation more but not TOO much
Same also kinda applies to adding highlights and the only fee changes is adjusting the color wheel to the right
So rinse and repeat and u get these colors for the base skin
Note that these is just a pallete guide on how to pick colors to shade and highlight the skin but for me usually i keep adjusting the colors anyways to like find a way to blend
Remeber kids! Eye dropper tool is your best friend if you wanna blend colors together
When all goes well the face will look like this
Few notes is that you dont want to get rid of the sketch outline even when overlaying when shading and rendering
It also adds more color and life to it if that makes any sense
Another thing about shading is that you can do hatching and shit, be free of ur strokes! It maintains the sketchy feel of the piece
One last thing to note as well is where the light and shadows could be coming from when rendering
I also need an excuse to share a lesson i had with my professor on my art college LOL
Bringing out the artist ball but these are the 4 main things you need to note
A reflective light can be made by just putting ur color wheel to the opposite side of your color wheel LOL
Understanding this could go a long way trust me
Then after that youre basically done! Again just rinse and repeat with how you pick your colors and you should be good
If you wanna better understand how to color properly theres this one video that helped me out alot with understanding how to pick colors
Anywahs to wrap this up cause im running out of brain power to explain LOL be very loose with this style, its very sketchy but it adds flare to it if that makes sense
Hopefully i was able to help explain how i do it in some way!
And if not well you can just watch the tiktok tutorial on how to do this HAHAHAHA
