i’ve had more than one anon asking about lips and i’ve tried to do a little tutorial before without posting it simply because i feel like my mouths aren’t really that special. they are always really quick and not super detailed, but i tried to put something together anyway! as always this is not a depiction of how you best draw mouths or how you should paint them, this style is just how i draw them.
and of course, i added some examples. i use this method almost everytime painting lips these days.
Path into the light.

I’ve had this list sitting around for a while (in case I ever want to try something new) and I thought I’d share it, because why the hell not, everybody loves free stuff. I’ve only used a couple, so for all I know these could be complete shit. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, RIGHT?
*= available for both windows and mac os
GIMP * - Does a lot of the same stuff as Photoshop.
FireAlpaca * - Similar to Paint Tool Sai, so it’s a good alternative for Mac users.
Autodesk Sketchbook Copic Edition * - Simulates the look of copic markers.
MyPaint * - Basic stuff, nothing fancy.
Pinta * - Drawing program modeled after paint.NET.
Inkscape * - Vector/drawing program meant to be similar to Illustrator.
ArtRage * - Digital painting program; you can get the trimmed down version for free or buy the full version with more features.
Sumo Paint * - In-browser drawing app.
DAZ Studio * - Some sort of 3D model poser thing.
Pencil * - Software for animating.
SketchUp * - Tool for making 3D models. Looks handy for stuff like architectural drawings.
Blender * - Pretty popular 3D software.
escape motions * - Some browser apps, fun to fiddle with when you’re bored (the fluid fire simulation is pretty cool imo).
Twistedbrush (Pixarra) - Seems to be meant for replicating the look of traditional media.
Pixia/Phierha - A popular program in Japan, according to the website.
Krita - This was originally made for Linux and it looks like the developers haven’t ironed out all of the kinks in the Windows installer.
Artweaver - Another trimmed down free thing if you don’t want to buy the full program.
paint.NET - Pretty basic kit, probably good for simple stuff.
Project Dogwaffle - I’m not sure what this one is all about because I couldn’t stop laughing at the terrible website.
Speedy Painter - Lightweight digital painting program.
mtPaint - Originally made for pixel art; simple enough to run on older computers.
Chasys Draw IES - Supposed to be some sort of drawing+image editor thing.
PaintRibbon - Seems to be another plain old basic image editor.
DrawPlus - Looks like it’s made for graphic design and vector stuff.
SmoothDraw - I’m guessing this is a basic thing for people who don’t want to bother with complicated stuff.

Hi! I love your art of various fanlands and i was wondering, would you ever do a tutorial on how you draw them or the process of how you draw them? Or perhaps have any tip or tricks?
sure.
there are certain things/tricks I do almost every time, so here we go.
pick colors for the sky and the ground.

You have to set Wacom’s drivers to report their full 2048 levels of pressure. On Windows machines, they default to 1024 levels of pressure reportage for legacy compatibility.
I mentioned this on Twitter and it blew a few people’s brain-pans out their collective skulls. I don’t think folks know. I imagine 90% of people with 2048 Wacom hardware have left that option checked.
Unless you’re living in a cave and clinging on to your copy of Painter 6 with musket in hand, uncheck that box.
Again this is my personal take on color! It really depends on the situation and what you personally value, and in the end practice is your best friend.

genice’s color practices
color palette challenge (one iteration of it; there’s lot of people who made them)

Wonder Woman and Marvel
I thought he had one on John Wick too but I can’t find it. If you like saturated colors though, check that movie out!!
those are only a couple of exterior references, there’s lots out there!! so good luck & I hope this helped!!
NSFW because there will probably be nude refs | this is a side blog to sort all of the art stuff I need | none of it is mine
