how are you liking digital now, after a while?

OH
um
it gives us feelings

hihi

digital is cool... we like krita a lot
it’s like really #Zen

mm
mhm

however
we were probably also having a brain moment responsible on its own for 30% of the mindlessness

im curious how u approach color

digital painting is really funny
oh sweet brainwaves

because like there are these brushes and they work how they do and sometimes it’s funny because we don’t have tilt sensitivity lol

im not getting technical tho

but like there are only so many brushes and they work the ways they do... krita has a lot of settings to play with that (and obv make your own brushes) but for now we’re using defaults

we do color as a very like... well for drawings like this (of which we’ve made ~3 or smth)

layered thing... i mean literally layered not technically layered

it’s all one big paint layer under the lines

we barely erased except when we went outside the lines in ways we weren’t interested in, and that only applies to the outside of the whole character/silhouette

ababab.. makes sense

we used two brushes (separate stages) and didn’t change the brush sizes after we set them

and like obviously there are a handful of Fine Details

so it was a lot of fun like... figuring out oh yeah well if we do the colors in a particular order then we can totally just get the fills we want, without screwing with the brush at all

mhmhmhm

and it kinda gives a nice natural look to it

the only big controls we had were “what color are we applying” and “how much are we applying it here”

because the brush isn’t all the way opaque unless you press pretty hard

after we get our basic colors we don’t mess with the color picker much... for layering we just color pick from stuff we’ve already layered

to get like in between colors for finer blending

or more gentle shadows and stuff

on and off, phone died and i'm heading out for a few :)
car almost done hehe

seeya! good luck

more from like the top down...

coloring is just the same thing as texturing for us... it’s making the shapes feel real

we believe a lot in making stuff readable and intuitive... and i mean our brains are MADE for shadows and highlights, so we really enjoy blending-layering to make the solid patches of Three Dee Shape pop

this drawing was a lot of fun because yeah there’s texturing but it’s mostly pretty stylized and like... more for definition than shape? i dunno what words to use but the lines and colors interact in a way we like here

i love the colors-only view (we only looked after the drawing was done) because. i mean. god right lol

our colors haven’t historically quite Done That

obviously the hand is kind of the weakest spot here but whateeeever lol

lil while later

back :3

👋!!

Uhm. Nods and also i loove the outlineless style :D
With eyes I think that'd be like great standalome (already is but yk?)

this bush is really cute but how can we make it fit in because it doesn’t seem like it should just... be such a bushy thing that ONLY is pubic. how would it fit
