Plant Pot I like it

story time ??
okay i lit some candles in my room (2 smalls, 1 big)
and one of the littles went out, so i picked it up and
i was gonna tilt it so i could use some of the fire from the big 1.
but it was super hot, so i too a napkin and wrapped it around
the small one that i was gonna pick up. then i lifted it and
oh, surprise, the napkin caught on fire. i took the watering
can that was for watering my plants and poured it onto the napkin,
water was all over my desk.

lesson; i am stupid

oooooooooooooooooooooo


interesting

Yay, the first batch of questions. I went with a few that kinda related to the drawing.

My favorite flowers are yellow roses and hyacinths!

As for lining, there's a lot I could go over. I have a lining style that's very different from a lot of other artists on CS, and I greatly encourage others to get creative with their lines. I know there are some artists here who love taking time doing neat lineart, but for me it's tedious and boring. Here's some quick tips based on how I do lineart.

BRUSHES | On oekaki, I use the watercolor tool on half opacity, full color, and a brush size between 2 and 20. It gives a rough, ballpoint-pen type look with smaller sizes, and a softer look on larger sizes. When I use SAI, I use the ink pen tool on a low opacity to get softer lines. I never use smoothing on oekaki, but I always have my stabilizer pretty high on SAI.

TECHNIQUE | My biggest technique tip is to take your time. Try to do lines in single strokes whenever possible, and don't be afraid to re-do them. Also pay attention to where your lines are heavier, and where you add the most detail. I put more detail where I want to draw more focus. You can see it in portraits like this one, where my suit and shirt are only blocked in despite my face being most drawn out.

COLOR | I rarely like to use a completely black lineart. Typically, if it's only solid color (like on this piece) I'll go for a dark blue or red. Even just having a medium tone lineart set on multiply can look nice. For my SAI pieces, however, I actually merge all of my color layers together to one layer, duplicate it, raise the saturation & lower the brightness of the copy, and clip it onto the lineart layer.

eh

me: Im too sleepy to draw tonight maybe I'll just go to bed...

also me: going to bed without drawing is admitting defeat and is Unacceptable!!!!

.......anyways have this very sloppy doodle, timer is off as always, goodnight ily all bye

I saw someone else do this n went why not

More detailed notes:

Corner is bad:
Never go up to that top corner, unless you're looking to burn some eyes. It's too saturated, choose more inwards.

Shade with colour:
Unless you're shading black and white objects/characters, always use different colours to shade. you can use a darker or lighter variation of the colour your shading over, or you can use oranges/browns for warmer tones and blues for cooler.

If you need to experiment, clip a new layer to the colour layer and turn on "sample all layers". This will ensure watercolour won't do that weird white effect, and that you can delete the shading if needed.

Experiment:
There are a lot of different brush types you can use. find one you like.

Pick colours that match:
Bad colour combos can ruin a character. Make sure they match. If you can't find shades that work, try looking up a pallet, for example "yellow and blue pallet". You can use https://html-color-codes.info/colors-from-image/# to pick hex codes, and click on the solid colour box in the colour section on oekaki to put in a hex code.

Erase for detail:
Erasing the edges of your lines can give it a really nice look. It will take longer, but its worth the effort if you do it right.

I hope this helped someone in some way!

Hello everyone!
It seems I have a couple of followers, so I just wanted to see who you all are!-
I have no idea why anyone would follow me though-
Also, a little doodle to show you how I draw, it ain't pretty though.

(Mods, if this is in the wrong section, just tell me where to move it and I'll move it! I honestly have no idea where to put this ;v;)
