Idk if this is really noteworthy or not, but I was going through my folders on DA and realized that I’ve already drawn more now than I have in years.

#for one thing I’m in a better place mentally and emotionally #I’m able to focus a little bit better these days #and I’ve been MAKING myself draw more #can I get to 50 drawings by the end of 2024??#60???#60 might be pushing it lol but who knows!#hc talks #not art

I see lots of "let people enjoy things" in fandom but no "it's not the end of the world if people don't like this thing you like, chill out" which is a shame I think fandom could benefit a lot more from the latter than the former

YOUR COLORS ARE SO VIBRANT EEEE!!! HOW DID YOU DO THAT ON PAPER?? ITS AMAZING!!!!!

TYSM!!!! 🙏💕 I’ll do my best to explain!

Okie, so this is how my drawings look before I do anything to them. Depending on the lighting of the room, the color(s) might already pop well enough.

Next, I decrease the contrast. You can go all the way back to -100, but usually I go to about -70 or less. It varies from drawing to drawing and really just depends on what looks best to you. I also like it because any pencil/eraser marks don’t stick out as badly.

After that, I adjust the brightness and black point until they look right to me.

By then, the colors will probably be vibrant enough to where increasing the saturation won’t be necessary, but I say go for it if you want. I like to go up a smidge myself.

Lastly, I slap a filter I like best over the drawing (“Vivid” for the iPhone is my go-to).

And here’s the result! I hope this was helpful. :>

Btw I haven’t forgotten about y’all’s suggestions! My Apple pencil has been missing and I have to borrow someone else’s tablet to do digital art for now. I’m sorry that it’s taking so long.
