The Candy Jar

Just in case you forget this exists.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.

I do studies warm ups everyday for about 45 min - 1 hour before drawing my comic. I have a folder with references that I keep saving photos whenever something piqued my interest, so each day before doing warm up I pick something that I want to study that day: poses, lightning, color, clothes.

Uploading studies here is a nice way to track my progress. I do feel like I'm slowly getting better at coloring.

(some musings below)

aw thank you so much!! color comes naturally to me so its kind of hard to explain my intuition with it, but generally when i do color studies i try to punch up the vibrancy of my references! finding and laying down the overall undertone of all of the colors in the reference can also help get rid of the overwhelm of trying to pick every color just right-- once you have that base you can usually just eyeball the local colors of each part with a low opacity brush and the undertone(s) will naturally correct them to more unified hues. i also mentioned this somewhere before but everything that looks like one color is secretly like 20 colors, so putting other hues into an object or using a color jitter brush or a program like heavypaint that heavily relies on color jitter can be helpful in capturing that depth and life-- i use the posterization tool to help me with that aspect sometimes! as far as the rendering itself, it's extremely helpful to try and focus more on shapes and light and form than rendering every detail on every object. and always go from big shapes to little shapes! here's a few crunched process gifs of old studies i did if that helps at all!

i've gotten a lot of very kind feedback about how i draw fat bodies, so i thought id make a little guide showing my thought process!! this is far from comprehensive, but maybe it'll be helpful to anyone who feels intimidated drawing plus size furs :)

HII my character & shape design tips PDF is now available! ^_^ hope you enjoy !!

You can find more tutorials on my Ko-Fi Shop if you've found this helpful! 🫶🍃

Have you tried the new Procreate brushes? I was trying to get a creamy, painterly look, but it all blended together into a muddy mess 😅 I still love the painterly style, so I suffered through many disastrous over-blended paintings and figured out some tricks to make it work!

Hi!! Thank you for the ask (´｡• ω •｡`)

As I said in a previous one, I haven't really studied how to make compositions work, so instead of proper tutorials I can try to explain what I was thinking when drawing a piece!

I'll link the other post if you're interested!!

But anyway, for my latest pieces:

I've been drawing lots of art using an arched frame, as in the example below - which is a little more complex than the previous ones!

(Mars is the blorbo holding the sword btw but if you're following me you probably know already fdkgdjf)

a series of composition tips i’d been sharing on twitter!

and since some people had asked, i’ve put up a pdf version of this on gumroad along with a layered psd of one of the example images too
