Me @ Unsuspecting Tumblr Users Blogging In Peace

MY FIRST PATREON EXCLUSIVE

I have lots and lots of plans for making my Patreon sub worth your while, and one of those plans includes dropping all sorts of tutorials for my process to paint things.

This first tutorial one is a fun one, and one of my favorite things to paint: high shine metals.

So grab your soft round pressure-opacity brushes and give it a shot with me.

My contribution to week 9 of the Ineffable Prompt-A-Thon by @ineffablyruined is a Crowley ouroboros (a Crowloboros, if you will) surrounded by Celtic knots, both of which symbolize the cyclical nature of existence.

Me: lemme make some custom brushes so I don't have to painstakingly draw a million little scales...

Also me: *proceeds to use said brushes in a complex interlace pattern that requires painstaking masking/erasing in order to make the various sneks fit together the way they're supposed to*

The end result was so worth it tho...

Plus hey, I got to learn how to make brushes from scratch and now I can draw many more goofy sneks hehehehe

In terms of the general construction of Crowley’s scales, I used this piece from a few weeks ago as my general guide:

Later on (once I actually decided that I wanted to incorporate Celtic knots) I went through the entire George Bain Collection looking for ideas, and eventually settled on this one:

It was my first time drawing Celtic knots, I hope I did them justice!
