- made this with goobies in mind, but ur welcome to use this tutorial for non-goobies stuff, of course!
ok now, gonna do my best to explain the steps a little more in-depth:
1. pick victim and lighting source
- draw your goo, 45% opacity outside, 100% opacity inside! (tip: i like to put my lines on multiply!)
pick your lighting angle/source/etc
2. 50% multiply gradient
- airbrush a gradient over the majority of it
the darkest part should be the furthest away from the lighting source
use soft/airbrush eraser to tidy it up if the gradient doesn't have enough of a taper off
3. 50% multiply shadow
- airbrush where the shadows are
the location will vary depending on how 3d the object is and where the lighting source is
but a good rule of thumb is to just hit the edges opposite of the lighting
4. 40% add shiny
- airbrush where the light hits
i like to follow where the lines are
5. 25% add spots
- using a hard brush, scatter little dots randomly along the goo (these are trapped bubbles!)
don't forget to do the biggest spot right where the light hits!
6. solid white details
- add a solid white to the center of the biggest spot where the light hits
this is what really makes it pop!
for the tutorial, i used the purple shading color i picked out forever ago for goobies; it's saved in the color palette!
for the examples, i changed up the shading/shine colors to show how they give a different color overall to the goo!
play around with your shading/shine colors and come up with something that you like!!
hope that helps!!
if you have any questions, please drop them here, i'll do my best to answer them!!
woohoo woohoo!
