how do u. do digital art. like. your process. specifically for that vinestaff and scythe piece.

SORRY THIS WAS BURIED IN MY INBOX SO I DIDN’T SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

I uh… honestly I don’t even know it just kinda happens low-key?

I jump back and forth a LOT. I’ll do some sketching, some shading, more sketching, base colour, more shading, more sketching, more base colour, colouring, sketch cleaning (I don’t usually do lineart, it’s just sketch), and then THREE MILLION SCREEN OVERLAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like to add ai disturbance, maybe light leak, maybe computer fuzz, maybe paper, there’s a lot of options and usually I use a bunch. My newest piece has TV static and I think it looks super neat! I also occasionally use screen tones (the dots n stuff)

When the pose is really tricky I use a website called just sketch me to figure out what the hell is happening, but usually I actually just bs it. Like sometimes I don’t even start with the torso and do the boxes out. I’m looking back at the speed paint for the Vinestaff scythe piece and I just drew crap completely out of order whenever I felt like it. Took a HELL of a lot of liquify tool, tho.

I use ibisPaint which gives me things like screen tones and the liquify tool, seriously the liquify tool is a LIFE SAVER.

Also make sure to regularly flip the canvas!!!!!!!!!! I underestimated it and then I did it and was like “….what the shit”

a lot of it is just stuff that I’ve picked up over time, i think what gives the Scythe and Vinestaff piece so much charm is the glowing. I love glowing. It’s so great. Slap a dark colour layer in a folder, add another layer with a neon/light colour and just go crazy on it. Then set the folder to multiply or whatever, play with the opacity. I do a LOT of glowing it’s my favourite thing to draw. A lot of trial and error to figure out how the fuck light works but it’s so fun once you get the hang of it

FEEL FREE TO ASK MORE QUESTIONS AND MORE SPECIFIC STUFF!!!!

My askbox was closed I think? But I’ll open it now!

Also I upload some speedpaints on YouTube, I’ll try to throw up the Vinestaff and Scythe one now!! So maybe that will help idk, it usually helps me more than I anticipate. Watch speedpaints from everyone you want to draw like!!!!!!!!!!

Tldr attack it for like 8 hours until it looks good
