Hello! I really love all your art--it always makes me smile even when I'm feeling down. Your latest Lumity comic is really funny! I was wondering how you apply lighting to your lineart, like on Luz's face in the second panel? (the way the edge has the orange glow to it.) Thank you!
Hhhh I'm!!!! Really really happy my arts can make you smile!!! Thank you!!!!
Before I talk about the lightning, I think it's important to note I always color the lineart: I usually use a dark brown as base color, then either lock the layer and paint the lineart or add a clipping layer- I try to avoid pure black as much as I can, as it draws the eye the most and tends to kill the palette and the mood-especially when it comes to bright and soft pieces.
Tumblr media
(Side note in case you’re not familiar w this stuff- here’s where you can find layer clips and lock transparent pxel/opacity lock in paintool sai and clip studio paint. Clipping layers make you only paint the pixels in the layer beneath the ones you’re using, opacity makes you paint only the areas you’ve already painted)
Tumblr media
Moving on to the actual lighting, just have fun with overlays and glow dodges!!! (You can find both in the layer modes) Keep in mind to put these layers above the lineart!! In this drawing I first added a tiny bit of overlay at 100% opacity (I put the picture with the colors I used on the left, overlay mode on the right)
Tumblr media
Then added glow dodge at 50% to make it even softer (again, normal mode on the left, glow dodge at 50% on the right)
Tumblr media
As you can see, sometimes it’s about small detail and tweaks! I tried to explain the way I added lights on this drawing, but I change the settings all the time and alwyas fool around with lights- I highly recommend trying out what works best for you!!! Try to experiment using different brushes, different layer modes and different colors and see what yuo find yourself most comfortable with!!!
One last note- please be mindful of what and who you’re drawing, and try not to go overboard with the lights...by which i mean, don’t whitewash characters. You can still make a piece look as soft as you want while keeping the character’s skin tone dark: you can keep the lights on the edges of the drawing like I did in this art, or you can add a multiply layer and use it to darken the parts that are too light ....let’s just try to be mindful and respectful both of the characters we draw and even more of the people who can be affected by them.
I hope that was useful, please feel free to ask if you need anything else!!
