Simple Bubble Tutorial by DumplingYumYum
Can you make like a little color picking tutorial, my drawings always look so out of place when i color them >.<
Okay so this is probably not the best coloring tutorial and I’m sorry ahead of time because I’m not the best at explaining colors nor am I any expert lol. I don’t actually use color palettes but I highly recommend them, esp to keep a whole artwork consistent with color schemes. You can easily just google “aesthetic color palettes” or “90′s anime color palettes” which is my go to types of colors heh.
Anyway, I made an explanation/tutorial on how I usually achieve the colors on my art. There are plenty of other ways but this is some basics on filtering.
And after that, if I’m not satisfied with the colors I just go to Filter -> and adjust the Hue of the opacity or the multiply layer.
Once I’m satisfied, I just merge all the layers and clean the art up, sometimes I add even more colors and blend them. (This probably deserves an explanation on it’s own but I wouldn’t mind explaining how I paint! ><)
And here’s somewhat of the finished art lol;;; (sweats)
Tuesday Tips - The Face Profile Something I use all the time when I storyboard. The profile is simple, direct, and conveys a lot of information about a character. A great deal of facial features are easier to define in a profile, such as the nose and mouth shapes. Use it to your advantage! It’s really useful when thumbnailing or doing gesture drawing. -Norm
Your art is so good !!! How do you color the skin its soo smooth
Thank you very much Anon ( ̄ε ̄@)hehehe!!Well I have some shots of one of my recent drawings so I’ll try to explain it a little bit hhahahah
Basically what I do is: 1. Put on base color2. Add some light shadows (They don’t even have to look very smooth, like the images above) 3. Then I start adding some darker shades of color and different skin tones to give it the correct shape, at this point I start adding some brighter tones, so yeah, they usually look very messy at this point. My brushstrokes also look like crosses or some sort on this step I think (I do it like that ‘cuz I think it’s easier to merge the colors later, at least for me hehehe) 4. Aaaand at the end, to merge the colors and make them look smoother I use a soft brush with low opacity to add some light shadows and brighter tones on bigger areas, I also try to use almost the same tones I used on the step three so it can merge nicely.So yeah, I think that’s about it (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜I hope I helped you out with that <3
