Totally! I’ve never painted shoes before, but it sounds like a cool project and I’d be happy to see if I can share some ideas.

This is gonna be a kind of gradient between shades of purple, but im not too sure on how to get the flowers to pop or how to make a nice flowing gradient.

how's that haunted jeep doing

how do you write so well? whether it be pixel or not, it always just looks perfect with the piece, honestly astounding :'0
what are the main brushes/tools that you use?
do you ever use off-site programs/apps to draw with?

the glitch effect in your art, tell me your secrets

Ooh, I really like the colors you’ve used so far. I’m not super familiar with acrylic, but I think you could looo up some tutorials on how to get a good gradient going. For the flowers, I would go for a color that contrasts well with purple, like orange or cerulean. I’m sure these are going to look awesome!

It’s going very well, actually! I’ve handed it over to a body shop to be painted this week. It’s going to be a nice teal with a bit of a darker blue color shift. Almost everything is in working condition now, and I’ll be happy to draw her again when she’s complete.

My normal handwriting is downright abysmal (or, as a US congresswoman once put it, “congressional in style”). So I just scroll through 10001Fonts until I find something that looks cool, and I painstakingly make my letters here. The pixels are a lot easier, but the weird scratchy stuff is really fun.

I don’t really have any predefined brushes that I use. I use whatever feels best for the specific piece. (Though, I do really love the square brush shapes for ChickenPaint.) The watercolor tool is my best friend in this whole world, and the airbrush can be a lineart brush if you’re in the right mood.

I actually primarily use Paint Tool SAI now! I have some good examples of off-oekaki stuff on my website and in my Toyhouse gallery.

God, there’s a lot. Here are some specific effects that I like to do:

Chromatic Aberration - When your drawing is finished, merge all layers. Then, duplicate your final image. Make another layer above this duplicated layer and fill it with red. Set it to multiply, then merge it with the layer below. Set this layer to screen, with ~40% opacity. Use the transform tool (ctrl+y) to move it a few pixels in any direction. Repeat this process with green and blue, moving each finished layer in a different direction.

Slices - Again, merge all layers and duplicate the final image. Use the selection tool to select any “slice” portion of image. Your selection should stretch all the way across horizontally. Transform this selection (ctrl+y) and stretch/squish it in any direction.

Scan Lines - Use the pattern tool to make dark blue horizontal lines across the image. (You can crate these on a small scale and then transform them if you want fewer, larger lines.) Set this layer to multiply and play with the opacity until you find one you like.

Noise - Use the “effects” tab to create a layer full of noise, then set this layer to overlay, screen, multiply, or any color effect. For larger pixels, you can select a smaller portion of this layer and transform it to take up the entire canvas.

Printed Edged - If your image uses lineart, duplicate your lineart layer. Use the opacity lock to make this layer white, then place it under your lineart and move it a few pixels in any direction.

Pixel Offset - Merge all layers. Use the smudge tool with any of the dot brush patterns. Drag around at random.

Thank you! I may draw the details/outline them in a color that pops, but i'm not sure since it'll be a gradient if it'll work

You might be able to use painters tape or latex to block out parts, or you could just paint on top of the gradient. I think paint pens might be helpful for making details!

ohh my goddd i was goign to ask abt the glitch effects thank u for sharing in such great detail

also i think I've mentioned before but i show all ur art to my sister who is also studying astrophysics + engineering and we love u and ur cursed space art muuahhh
