2 New drawings + trying a new technique :)

Posted by SouSTAR - 1 month ago


Hello guys, here's two new drawings!


I drew zaach1231's OC !


And @Bacun 's OC too!


I first draw on paper, then take a photo and edit it as usual. Then i draw the colors using Multiply blend mode at 100%, and for the shading/lighting i use Normal blend mode at 50-55%


Please tell me what you think about it, and if you have any criticism/advice! . Thank you! (=ↀωↀ=)

Are you using Photoshop or something else? If you want darker lines, or lines that could be easily selected and colored, you can use "Threshold" to make the image literally black and white. That also removes any paper texture or fuzz/grain that can sometimes be visible with the "Multiply" layer mode. Downside is that the lines can then be a little pizelated depending on the image dpi/size.

Anyway, are you happy with the results? Coloring under a multiplpied pencil layer can be fun to mess with graphite textures and shading in the pencil and then just applying a flat color behind.

@DrewLeeClark
I edit photos with my phone's base editor, and i draw with medibang paint
I edit the Clarity, saturation and Sharpness, but there's not thresold :)

but yeah having a proper photo editing app would be better! I gotta download Snapseed, i used to use it to edit random photos before, and maybe it will have the proper options like thresold too!

Im overall happy about the results, normally I'd trace the paper drawing on digital, but i wanted to experiment a bit :)

Thank you very much for your advice! :D
