Interesting stuff!!!
Something I try to keep in mind when making art that looks vintage is keeping a limited color pallette. Digital art gives you a very wide, Crisp scope of colors, whereas traditional art-- especially older traditional art-- had a very limited and sometimes dulled use of color.
This is a modern riso ink swatch, but still you find a similar and limited selection of colors to mix with. (Mixing digitally as to emulate the layering of ink riso would be coloring on Multiply, and layering on top of eachother 👉)
If you find some old prints, take a closer look and see if you can tell what colors they used and which ones they layered... a lot of the time you'll find yellow as a base!
Misprints can really reveal what colors were used and where, I love misprints...
Something else I keep in the back of my mind is: how the human eye perceives color on paper vs. a screen. Ink and paint soaks into paper, it bleeds, stains, fades over time, smears, ect... the history of a piece can show in physical wear. What kind of history do you want to emulate? Misprinted? Stained? Kept as clean as possible, but unable to escape the bluing damages of the sun? It's one of my favorite things about making vintage art. Making it imperfect!
You can see the bleed, the wobble of the lines on the rug, the fading, the dirt... beautiful!!
Thinking in terms of traditional-method art while drawing digital can help open avenues to achieving that genuine, vintage look!
Sorry I haven’t posted much art in a while… I’ve kinda gotten wrapped around it and I’m trying to improve by a certain margin before posting again…
For some reason i have a habit of setting arbitrary limits on myself before i do something… such as reaching a certain skill level in drawing before sharing it or 100% a game before i move on to play something else… But more than that… with art in particular, i feel a deep yearning to improve… to reach some kind of gold standard… I know it’s not healthy but… sometimes i feel like i can only value myself by my skills and accomplishments rather than anything inherent to myself… it feels like i have to EARN any respect from myself or others because it’s not free… and right now I haven’t earned it yet cause nothing I’ve made is good enough yet…
Every time I look at art it feels like I’m eating it with my eyes. The line art and shading, proportions and color palette, All of it shifts around in my eye as if I was holding it in my mouth…

This is kinda your territory so figured I’d share it with you.

​i found this out through Ayy lmaos video on hidden Easter eggs in the tadc eps 4
Original video linked below ⬇️
“At first I thought it was a design flaw… the builders adding a 0 by mistake and extending the floor 10 times its intended length… but as I walked towards the toilet I found that it seemed to be getting further and further away… I started walking faster… feet turn to miles but I don’t seem to be getting closer… I’m running now and the end of the bathroom is getting farther and farther out of sight, I’m sprinting at full speed, the dull need to use the restroom is now a burning pain throughout my entire body, it’s so far. How long have I been running? Every step I take sends a wave of fire through my core. It HURTS!!!! The agony continues and builds with each passing step, what was once a simple task has evolved from a bathroom break to begging permission to lay down and die. I’m progressing solely because to stop now would invalidate all the pain I’ve felt since not just entering the hallway but through my entire life…
And suddenly everything peaks and for a fraction of a second the world is still… And then the toilet reappears on the horizon… It’s getting closer again, the pain is starting to numb… my pace is slowing and the deep agony within me is transforming into neutral complacency… Running turns to walking, Miles back to Feet… And then I’m there… the end of the hallway…
I open the toilet lid and unzip my fly…
I don’t feel like peeing…
I'm always shitting in locations like this
Digital doodles today! To be honest, drawing isn’t hard at all, the hard bit is drawing something the EXACT way I want it to look… I could probably study the stuff I wanna draw more but I don’t just wanna end up copying it, I just wanna mesh it with my existing ideas…
He totally did this didn’t he :)
this is what happened right
