anoosha syed (foxville_art) on Twitter made a really interesting tutorial on how to colour non-white skin in illustrations that I thought people who follow this blog might find useful (:

Silence

(im not very good at explaining things so this will be pretty picture (and gif) heavy, if you need anything explaining better feel free to ask!)

how to make a gif transition like this:

1. Make the gifs you’ll be using for the set, for this tutorial ill be using two random allison gifs i made. do whatever colouring you want here (unless you plan to use the same colouring on both gifs ig)

 you’ll want them to be around the same length, maybe just slightly longer if one gif has to run over a bit more

2. Find, download (if you haven’t already) and duplicate your overlay into both gifs. In one of them: invert the overlay. set both to lighten

I’m using this overlay by @octomoosey​ for this tutortial (they have lots of great overlays to check out along with this one)

this is what the bottom gif settings looks like

(yes the overlay is shorter than the gif but it should work out okay - you’ll see why later)

and heres the top gif

and the finished results of both gifs

3. Save these gifs and reopen them, duplicate your top gif onto the bottom gif

4. Set the top gif to multiply, and adjust the gifs so this doesn’t happen (just drag ending the top gif to where the overlay finishes and it should work out fine - this doesn’t always happen when making these gifs - just something to keep an eye on)

(these are what my settings look like now)

5. play it through to make sure its working, save it, and voila, you’re done!

edit of all time

What do you all study when you're doing art studies??

!! thank u so much! The way i draw lace is like…so time consuming but i usually use three different methods interchangeably

One of the major factors of lace is that it must maintain this very floral quality to it, which often relies on noticeable curves. Though a lot of lace contains straight lines here and there, the curves should always b the most significant!
