I'm gonna dump all my art here. Not strictly an nsfw blog, but I don't know for the future; minors dni

What it says on the tin! I try to charge 20$/hour CAD, but if you give me some money and a prompt I'll see how far I wanna take it - less will get a sketch, more will get a more fleshed-out piece!

Having thought about it some more, I think my ideal process would be to sit down and talk about what's being drawn, then pick a style which will look good and fit within your budget.

I also forgot to mention!! I love chatting over discord and streaming the art as it's made, so that any wanted changes can be made in real time, and you get to see what you're paying for!

Also, nsfw commissions are on the table.

theres still so much art stuff i need to learn but i desperately need someone to explain to me how they pick the colors they use to shade something or the colors they pick to color lines in their art because thats like the thing i always see and tell myself i want to learn it but i have no clue how to learn because i dont know the thought process behind it >_< i SEE what people are doing that i like but idk how they did it!!

theres so many tutorials on shading or on making lineart look different but none of them explain like the thought process theyre always just like yeah do this and its like okay but... why? what if i want to do something slightly different how can i get the right effect for something else i wanna draw huh...

anyway if any of u guys have any insight or any tutorials you have found useful please share with me

Okay a lot of what I know is just my having been fucking around. But a useful trick I find is this:

  • Take a photo of a thing.
  • Turn the saturation and, if you like, contrast WAAAAYYYYYy up.
  • AHA now you can SEE the SNEAKY HIDDEN COLOURS in SHADOWS

Other shit:

The more grey/dingy a thing is the more colours are involved so you can just like, layer colours until it looks right. Two types of grey/dinge: the Object is grey, and the Lighting is grey. If the Object is grey, it'll probably pick up on the colour of light a bit more, depending on the texture of the thing/the grime on the thing. If the Lighting is dingy, make Every Object that dinge, add the teeniest bit of colour where light meets shadow, and then put highlights with the dinge colour slightly more saturated (but not too much more towards white). Sometimes saturation takes the place of lightness, when doing dinge.

If lighting is red, shade in blue is a good rule of thumb. This gets really fun when you have two light sources of different colours; all three primary colours? You get RAINBOW SHADOWS (think that 3d red blue effect, not actual stripey rainbow shadows (unless you wanna!)). Two secondary colours which just mix to brown? You can add more colour by taking a primary, probably the one they both share, and subtly putting it where that grey blur join happens.

Try making a piece using only fully-saturated colours, but at a low opacity/only colouring lightly, and layering. The photo saturation trick helps with this.

Try making a piece with a base colour other than black/pencil, and using other colours to highlight. Fiddle with how the colours will be way too bright if you don't bring them a bit towards the base colour; grey looks green when on red, but yellow/orange when on blue!

Good luck, have fun, colour is one of my favourite bits!!! I love to talk about it so if any of this is helpful or needs clarification or anything I'd love to!!!

Some random things I made when I discovered various functions in my drawing app lol

Free to use for wallpapers and stuff, just leave a like or reblog!

Fun little digital embroideries and beadworks I made, using a brush I made with the editable parameters in ibisPaint!

I had so much fun with these. I learned beading and embroidery like this in school, but don't have time or resources for it much anymore. Maybe someday I'll make these....
