#papers are easy

do you pencil traditionally and then colour digitally, or do you just have a very convincing digital pencil brush? I really love the organic, sketchy feel of your work.

I always sketch and ink on paper first, then scan the piece and color it digitally.

#haven't quite learned how to do the whole process digitally from start to finish in a way that feels natural and satisfying #I enjoy the physicality and lo-fi nature of pens and paper #and the quick and easy coloring and editing possibilities of digital art #99.9% of my art is made this way #sometimes I go fully traditional but never fully digital #answered #spadefish

The Great Outdoors! I can imagine Chang and Tintin going on camping or hiking trips for dates. While they love exploring museums and flea markets, in the woods they can avoid public scrutiny.

I've just been in the mood for drawing in ink and also doing long walks outside. These are inked traditionally and coloured digitally.

hi! this is Insomniac Anon here!!! I noticed on some of ur artworks (specifically the unique magic posters), that u have a textured look to em, like paper or grain ... i wanted to ask how u get that effect? is it a brush, a filter, or like an overlay/png u use ... ? pls tell me!! ;v; I really like how the texture looks, so i wanted to know how 2 do it since ure a very big inspo 2 me LAWL ... I've been doing art practices in diff styles i find, so, i wanted to know a bit more how you do it :^D

thank you! :D :D :D it's usually photos/textures of paper that I've messed around with; I have a bunch of free/paid/ones I took myself. anytime I see good photos of paper I add it to the collection...it is my weakness. 😔

I mostly use Photoshop, but this should work in any program that supports blending modes (also I did this in like an hour to use as an example, please forgive it :')

image by itself before texturing:

with the texture pasted in (for this one I'm using this public domain one from Pexels):

then mess around with the blending mode to see how it looks -- in this case I went with overlay, but soft light and hard light are usually good ones too, it really depends on the texture:

then with a bunch of messing around with opacity/colors/saturation/levels/adding in a bit more texture until I like how it looks:

et voilà, texture! (waves hands)

#art #twisted wonderland #it's a general tutorial i guess but just cause it's grim #usually i end up using a couple different papers on top of each other with bits masked out/levels super messed with and the like #it is super fun to just mess around with and throw things on and see how they look! #but it is also very easy to waaaay overdo so uhhhh exercise caution i guess. less is often more and all #once you start layering textures on there it's just difficult to stop #dangit art stop being so fun #(this also tends to screw with your colors and values a lot so always check and adjust as you go!) #(if you don't want any color influence at all you can just turn the saturation of the paper layer all the way down so it's pure grayscale)

#Doodles #UT #Handplates #Gaster #Papyrus #Sans #Help they keep appearing #Where have I heard that one before lol #Genuinely! I wasn't expecting to keep drawing them but my pencil kept moving and they kept showing up on my paper! #Especially Gaster but the other two plenty as well #Got to employ a bit of my favourite coloured pencil ♪ I Will find a way to use my blue on nearly anything #Luckily for me they come prepackaged with blue magic so that was easy enough #Wiggly baby Papyrus does Not want to go >:( At least he's not being hurt :( #Some smoking Gaster ♪ I still quite enjoy drawing smoke honestly - fun to get to do so with a character who actually smokes haha #You can see I also added swoopy-swoops to his Lost Soul head - I like it much better for being such a small detail #I think it looks weird in black rather than white but against a white background- #Without them he feels....hmm something. Something old that I don't want #Not like the Classic Lost Soul head tho haha - similar but not quite the same! #I love his design ahh ♪ He's really so pretty but so much of that is in his details! Like the way he wears his clothes or holds his body #I'm always a sucker for that style of turtleneck as well haha ♫ #Perhaps his turtleneck keeps the smoke in chest from escaping longer :0 Yet another reason to wear them! #Shot of the little family before things went Completely terrible - before the plates and all that #I'm rather pleased with his hand pose there actually :) Keep an eye on your kids Gaster you've only got the one eye to do so! #And then some silly ones lol - I am desperately curious if animated skeletons would have a hyoid bone #It's not as though hyoid bones are specific to humans! They're just A Type Of Bone! Surely skeletons would have All their bones right? #But in the human skeleton it's not resting against another bone it's just floating there tethered by muscle and sinew #Would it float? Would it rest inside the lower jaw? Would it attach to the neck vertebrae?? #It'd probably get caught on his turtleneck a lot easier than like - getting it caught on his neck bones for example #They have a kind of fused canine-teeth-like structure as well they're like a weird set of tongue-teeth lol #It's just fun to imagine ♪ Similar to how the rest of the skeletal body like - magnetizes? to itself :)

if the cats don't do a lot of writing, what is parchment used for?

Parchment is basically de-haired, soaked, super thin leather. It's so easy to make that the question is less, "what is it used for?" And more "How can we use this?"

The hardest part is removing the hair, which requires an alcohol bath. SHADOWCLAN'S FERMENTATION PERK STRIKES AGAIN

It's often one of the first things a kit or apprentice will be taught about leather processing, because it's not a big deal if they bungle making it. It teaches them about using soaks, stretching, and skinning all at once. Kind of like the kitten equivalent of a class project; the Educator and the current Mentors will often plan this out as a big thing together.

Parchment will be made out of whatever little animal that was hunted in a sloppy way and has big gashes, cut into strips, and stretched in whatever shape makes sense.

So by "parchment," it's not neccesarily a beautiful, square piece of "paper" like in a book. It's leather shreds.

Most of the time this is used for art, with the very big, useful stretches most coveted by artsy cats like Sootfur. It doesn't take bistre well, but they have other pigments available to them. Sometimes it's used to practice sewing, which is ridiculously important for patching together all the little animal pelts they collect. Other times it's just given to whoever to play with.

#clan culture #You will not believe how incredibly easy it is to make leather products #It's 'you dont even need fire' level easy #Leather #Parchment #A long time ago I was trying to figure out paper and I had to halt because paper is actually hard as fuck to make in this region #I did not know that they were mostly using PARCHMENT #Which is NOT paper #It is SKIN
