hi this isn't an 'how i draw' video this is just how i paint so im sorry for the immediate 'HERES THE SKETCH' in your face XP this tutorial isn't really for everyone, and i apologize for everyone who doesn't' own paint tool sai, but this style of painting can easily work in something like firealpaca as well (which i use on occasion) again, i've been painting probably for four years, so it takes a while to get used to and to find your style.. personally i like it to just look like a more detailed lineart <: (although you must be more patient for this type of stuff, since it can take from 2-4 hours for me to complete a piece) do this in your style! play around with it! be someone different, let your style be unique. that's the beauty of art, you can do what you want with it and create what you want with it. if you have any questions i will answer them in the comments gladly! don't be shy <: OTHER INFO: -i do copy and paste limbs most of the times, as it makes the process easier. (this is usually with ears) -blending colors together works best with the dilution turned down and the blending turned up. if i want one color to show up more, turn the dilution up and the blending down. -i recommend putting more complex markings on after blending/painting the body (like i did on the forehead) so you dont have to keep redrawing them. -make sure the lineart and shading matches the color scheme of the character. i will put more information here if needed in the future!
