Silly guy

Having media literacy is more important than being good at math prove me wrong

No thoughts only technoblade giving his cape to tommy to keep him warm but the cape is a bit too big bc Technoblade is a BIG GUY and Tommy isnt SMALL exactly but he’s definitely not technoblade-size so hes trying very valiantly to wear Technos cape all cool-like and pretend that he’s intimidating in this long flowing cape but also he is. Being drowned in the fluff. And hes tripping over the cape. Hes faceplanted in the snow. Techno wonders if he might’ve been better off without the cape at all, and he’s like “i can take it back” but Tommy is like NO NO I GOT IT and then he trips over it a second time

Love your art! What's your shading process / any tips? I really like how vibrant it is

Thank you!! also sorry this is a long post

I usually start painting the character after I already have a background, super sketchy or with a placeholder (a photo usually), just so i know what colors to use

I fill the character with a color from the BG or a similar color and use the multiply blending mode

then i paint the lights on another layer with the "add glow" blending mode (i also pick the color depending on the bg).

I add another multiply layer for anything that needs to be darker, like stuff under the characters clothes

I paint a line with a saturated color between the lights and shadows, for example i added a bright red for the cape and light purple for their skin (? this is subsurface scattering, it doesnt happen on every surface but i like how it looks so i use it on everything lol.

Then i paint the lineart a similar color to each part of the character or you can paint it all red and use multiply

that's basically it

some tips (these are just things that work for me)

I think is better to paint the lights, not the shadows. it helps to see the shapes of the thing/character you're drawing better (its what i did with lambert ⬆️)

Draw backgrounds, i think it makes every drawing look more interesting and its easier to decide the lighting for the character, if you dont want to draw anything detailed you can paint something simple and blur it

i really recommend to start with a thumbnail, experiment with colors, perspective, composition, etc. before actually starting the drawing thumbnails of this post

this tip is something that everyone has heard before but use references, real life references like photographs for perspective and lighting, 3d models for anatomy and perspective, paintings to see how other artists stylize objects, bgs or characters. use references for everything

this tip is super important for me: check the values of your drawing, (lower the saturation, with the lineart hidden) if it isnt readable/ doesnt look good in black and white it most likely wont look good with colors (this depends on artstyle and personal preference tho)

I fucking despise when things fake being higher quality than they are. I don't mean like slapping a slightly misspelled brand name onto an identical non-designer product for purely aesthetic reasons I mean like rivets or thread that are actually glued down rather than punched or stitched. Fake pockets on jeans that are actually just an extra seam. Heavy looking chain that's plastic or very soft flimsy metal rather than anything sturdy. I bought boots which looked like they had a stitched sole 8 months ago and lo and behold the glue holding the sole on is revealing itself by falling apart. You PUT a STITCH IN THERE. YOU HAD THE NEEDLE AND THREAD. AND YOU DIDNT ACTUALLY STITCH DOWN THE FUCKING SOLES. Oh it makes me so mad. Cheap cunts taking the aesthetics of durability or practicality while handing you a product that won't last you the year

cringe system culture is oh god oh fuck we have 60+ mcyt introjects? from 10+ years of love for mcyt?? yeah, that checks out.

Cringe System Culture Is

I'm full of so much joy right now and there's nothing I could post without sounding like woodland pixie dancing on a toadstool. playing a viola or some shit. we're talking whimsidaisical, I know cringe is dead but this could revive it. I'm frighteningly close to talking like a leprechaun. instead I'm just going to be happy without posting about it. I'm doing this for your own safety

what came first the chicken or the egg except it's "was this OC based off an alter i didn't know about or is that alter an introject of said OC"

Overriding anon's opinion by saying GET THAT BAG PUKI

I need money, and we're all hobbyists, I wanna trade with other hobbyists. Ebay is informal and slow, and I have a big audience here that I can offer good mutual deals on - and have done just that many times in the past.

D. Once these lenses sell u don't need to worry about puki market any time soon.
