art class tip:
When painting something shiny like a silver metal sort of shiny, foe example a lock on the door, a lamp post, the sink, water faucets, stuff like that, take a picture of it and bring the saturation to the max to get an idea on what colours to use and where to put them

Part 10 of my composition series on youtube, this time discussing various common composition types like the circle, the cross, rule of thirds, X Arrangement, radial, etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbveb0QoZq4 #arttip #illustration #conceptart #drawing

#ArtTip in Clip Studio, if you turn on Layer Property -> Border Effect, it makes it easy to see spots where your base color layer is missing #Art #Illustration #Artist #ArtistsOnMastodon

Clip StudioにLayer Property -> Border Effectを使えば、ベース色の欠けている部分を楽に見つけます

There's plenty of talented artists who's work you'll never a chance to see because social media toxicity burned them.
I just saw a very detailed illustration the title was "daily 1573"

Rest it's important too!

Found out another thing about #Inkscape that's been bugging me a lot:

When you #delete a #node with the Delete key the adjoining nodes change to kinda keep the form, which is never what I want.

But! If you delete the node with Ctrl-Del it leaves the other nodes as they are and just deletes the node (which I think should be default behavior but 🤷‍♀️).

Bonus: I learned that Ctrl-clicking a node changes node types (but not to the corner type which is weird and sad).

Hit a personal milestone last night, 10,000 subscribers to my educational youtube channel. Thanks to everyone who's following along, will be adding more art related videos in the not too distant future https://youtube.com/artofsoulburn #arttip #arteducation #conceptart #gamedev

Just a friendly reminder: use your precious watercolor paper! It can go bad and mine did. :(

The sizing deteriorates with time and it behaves horribly, not enjoyable at all.
Can be "saved" by adding watercolor ground on top or gelatine, but it's not why we bought it. Right?

So use it all! And enjoy the good stuff :)

Posted a new video lesson called "Creating An Art Bible For A Fictional Universe". It talks about what an Art Bible is, some thoughts on how they can be formatted, & goes through a part of "The Story Of Inc" Art Bible as its example. Hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/X34ykTj7Hbo #arttip #arteducation #tutorial #scifi

#artTip #protip, if you use feather-light pen pressure and absolutely hate using #procreate, because its apparently made for ppl who draw on their ipads like a stone carving, this is the pressure setting that made the app usable for me:

Mais uma obra para os meus ocs (original characters), então segue algumas considerações

Dessa vez eu trouxe a minha personagem Samantha (a/ela/-a), e para dar um toque de personalidade nela eu quis tentar trazer um contraste entre as formas x a estética para dar juz a sua personalidade.

A estética que ela irá seguir é um Vampire Goth com alguns chapéus de bruxa. O propósito dos vestidos vampiro é para dar o mistério e intimidação para sua personalidade, junto com os bordados e vestidos pretos elegantes com rendas (mas nada espalhafatoso) e as maquiagens pesadas cheias de preto + o próprio chapéu para identificar sua função lol.

Outro ponto que quis adicionar são as formas de seu corpo, sua fisionomia irá se destacar por ser redonda, seu rosto, seu busto, sua cintura. As formas são constantemente utilizadas nas artes para te dar uma primeira impressão sobre algo ou alguém, as formas redondas são usadas para representar algo fofo ou amigável, geralmente personagens principais possuem rostos redondos.

Misturando as duas ideias citadas anteriormente, a intenção é deixar uma primeira impressão chocante, apesar dela transmitir uma superioridade ou que te faça receoso na verdade se trata de uma primeira impressão sem fundamento, já que a sua personalidade é coberta de gentileza e carinho (mas também não posso descartar como essas roupas e maquiagem a fazem mais discreta e elegante, refletindo também na sua personalidade). Funcionou? Não sei, mas o importante é a tentativa

***Espero não estar mostrando a minha falta de conhecimento sobre a cultura gótica misturando estilos de vertentes diversas, mas sempre aberte para conselhos
Obs: quanto mais eu vejo esse vestido mais vontade eu tenho de mudá-lo, então releve

Another random tip: Don't be precious about your supplies! Use them, have fun, enjoy them and create something beautiful. It would be too sad to see something you longed for just dust away in a corner why you (maybe) use something you don't enjoy as much.

Right now I'm obsessing about painting on wood and doing monochromatic studies... Does it sell? No! Do I have fun? Lots and lots!

Have a wonderful day - and drink tea!

#ArtTip keep your old files around, you never know when you'll be able to upcycle them.
Just I used transformed an abandoned book cover concept into a nifty title page for the paperback edition. #Scribus #Krita #AmWriting #IndiePublishing #IndieWriters #IndieBooks #ConceptArt #Upcycling
