would you mind sharing what brushes/settings you normally use??

[Lostfairy]

Can you please just hit me know.
Am I dreaming.
THESE TEXTURES. MY WORD, COULD YOU TEACH ME YOUR AMAZING WAYS?? What are you calling ugly? These are so gorgeous. <33

Ahh, thank you all! c: Nice comments are everything to me.

Absolutely! Here's sort of a process and my most used brushes in each step. I'll describe their uses below.

1.

I typically use a small pen brush with medium to high opacity for sketching. I'll raise the opacity when doing lineart to get a more solid look, but that wasn't really necessary in a more painting-type example like this one.

2.

I use a medium-sized watercolor with full color and high opacity to block in colors. If there are smaller places with strong colors you need to define, make sure to get in there with a smaller brush before moving on.

3.

I do basic highlights and shadows and shape things out with a watercolor brush because it has a nice blending quality. For blurring things together, I always set the color to 0%-10% and vary opacity depending on how strong I want it to be.

4.

Hard-edge airbrush settings are very important, and I use them a lot. Here, I used them for shading and the beginnings of smaller details. And remember to turn smoothing up any time you're doing big details like shading.

5.

Low-opacity airbushes are great for little highlights, especially when you're using add/luminosity layers (layer settings are your friend!). I also use them for color correction on an overlay layer when there are parts that I may want to keep duller.

6.

Finally, a low-opacity watercolor with 100% color is great for adding intense details and defining depth. I use these last because they make it easy to get bright colors in a final piece. I also do final color corrections around this step, and watercolor brushes are perfect for blending.

Most of it is on one layer, but all overlays and add layers are separate. And thank you! <3
