WORMY I AM NOT GOING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT YOUR DRAMATURGY ART how do you draw such heartstring twanging art??? There aren't even facial expressions but the body language is all there! How tight they are holding on, how they bury their heads in each other. And the colour and lighting choices! They are so warm and bright and right aaaaaaa please talk more about your process I love hearing how an artist makes a picture come together
CRYING this is such a kind message and i appreciate it and you sm. but also when i try to explain my process all i can think of are those tutorials that are like step 1. make a sketch step 2. Finish The Drawing bc i just make shit up as i go LMAO
i block in the ugliest mess of shapes + shading you've ever seen under the sketch and from there i mostly just pray. for color i probably rely way too heavily on layer blending modes but hey it's a tool and it's there! and more specifically my favorites are yellow-orange on overlay/glow dodge for lighting and blue-violet on multiply for shading. i've also been using them set to "color" recently bc i realized it helps a lot with cohesion for someone like me who sucks at color picking (such as purple and maroon for these two) then i just stack on layers and layers of detailing as i go on. i could technically leave it lineless but i personally like going back over everything with something close to black like in the final post!
a mess of an explanation but i hope seeing some of my chaos is fun 🫡
