so sorry if this is an annoying question, but what brush do you use for lineart? the soft, crunchiness of it compliments your style so so much...

it's not annoying at all! I do fully recognise that the specific brushes I use to draw contribute hugely to my process, least of all because they have a certain kinetic "feeling" to roll out onto the canvas lol. this is the brush I currently use to ink!

it's a lot less 'textured' and much softer than my previous inking brush, but just as hard to magic wand when I need to color in lol. the SAI textures and brushmaps I have on this setup can be found over here - the person who originally made them was on deviantArt but has deleted their account a long time ago, and I still haven't been able to find them again 😔

#bakuspeech #details #<- this tag usually has all of the like. setup stuff I use #and also! I will be making a ''speedpaint'' type video thingy. with this stuff demonstrated more clearly #hopefully. I'll try to edit the video so that's shown throughout #I literally haven't downloaded new brushes for like. years. I've been using these same ones across like 4 setups #literally ported them to SAI2 to use fjfhdjh they behave kinda weirdly in SAI2 #which is fair. its a different program than SAI. also kinda the reason why I switched over to inking with this brush here #cause the old brush doesnt like... taper. in SAI2. its blunt #and now that Ive used this one for a while I got too into the cleaner softer look of it hehe #hope u have a good time hangin out with this brush if u do!

HI!

I wanted to ask about tips for line art and coloring in digital. I use ibisPaint on my phone currently because evertime i try using a program on my computer i get SO OVERWHELMEDDDD.

I just feel like im missing some type of info for coloring and lining and i just look at everything go "HMMMM COULD BE BETTER!" and feel like making all the art and also quitting at the same time... but i walways come crawling back...

I know i should probably be watching videos and stuff but i really love your art so I'd thought I'd ask.

Hello :DD

This is the first time ive received an ask like this, and honestly I understand that feeling of being overwhelmed and unsure really well,,, so I’ll try my best to offer some tips (о´∀`о) I use procreate on the iPad, and I’m not really familiar with ibisPaint, so I’ll try to keep things general

For line art, I’m actually probably not the best to ask,,, because I almost never do line art m(_ _)m

this kind of line effect in some of my works is really just me painting over a sketch since I work usually on one layer (o_o) or adding some darker lines as a final touch to separate areas, nothing very tidy...but! On the rare occasion that I do use line art, I can say that keeping your lines loose, as well as using varying line weight, is pretty good at achieving something that retains flow! Like below, if you zoom in, you can see that I don’t try to connect all my lines, and I like to bold areas with shadow, or the outermost lines :D And also experiment with brushes!

As for colouring, my biggest tip is to really use those layer modes we have on digital! Multiply, overlay, soft light, colour dodge...they are your friends!!! Get familiar with the uses of each, and the effects you can achieve with them! Below I have an example of a piece before and after I added my finishing touches with overlay, soft light, and add layers. They really make a difference :OO

Colouring is probably my favourite part of the art process, because it’s really am amazing way for the artist to express themselves. So also do lots of experimenting, do studies and use references!

To finish off (this got really long ahah,,,) just like u mentioned, the internet with its amazing amount of videos and books on these topics are your best friend! Watch those YouTube videos (I recommend also watching speedpaints so you can sort of see the process other artists have) and read those books!! And lastly, make sure to have fun as well with your art ٩( 'ω' )و having fun while you learn makes the process all the more enjoyable hehe

#willow answers stuff!#im not really the best with words...so i hope the pictures can offer some guidance as well..#I’ve also only very recently started actively learning about digital art and its many tools; so let’s all do our best!!
