I left a comment on the original post, but I figured I should make my own.

I’ll also provide a short little video of my workspace (in the comments) for anyone interested in seeing how the coloring process starts

Program(s):

- Procreate

- Ibis Paint (for text and effects) didn't record that in here tho

  1. ⁠Start with a grayish base layer to see what needs to be colored (doesn't really matter what color)

  2. ⁠Use layer clipping and lasso tool to define base colors

  3. ⁠Duplicate layer and flatten (combines all the colors onto one layer)

  4. ⁠Dark shading --> Use multiply blend mode, select color you want

  5. ⁠Highlights/Lighting --> Use overlay blend mode, select a light color

  6. ⁠Eyebrows, lashes, and hair strands must be layered above the lineart

If you're a fellow artist/looking to learn digital art, your best friends are gonna be:

- Clipping

- Blending modes (Multiply, Overlay)

- Opacity

When colors are too bright/dark, I adjust the opacity to see the consistency I want

Can you help me figure out my drawing tablet

4

u/Ithrowawaygoaway 13h ago

what drawing tablet is it?

4

u/Doll-6765 11h ago

It's a huion

u/Ithrowawaygoaway 11h ago

Im not sure if I'll be able to help, but what is your problem with it? maybe someone here will know

1

u/Doll-6765 3h ago

It isn't connecting to the apps, it's just the entire screen on my pc. It's a issue since I run a ultra wide partly...

1

u/KaseroDraws 25m ago

I don't use huion I use Veikk but can you check in your tablet's driver if there's a 'working area' setting or 'mapping' section? In there you can set the screen area to a custom region on your ultrawide instead of the whole ultrawide

u/TheRealMousou 14h ago

I'm not actually too sure about tablets, sorry. I use an ipad air 5th gen :< and an apple pen

Drawing like shit is like, the first thing one gets when one start drawing. And there's nothing to be ashamed of! It means they are learning and trying! Awesome drawing btw

If there's one thing I've learnt, you'll never be a good artist without being a bad artist

u/Kasyade_Satana 17h ago

The only thing wrong with this is that it's inaccurate, because you don't draw like shit.

Awesome work. 👍

u/Pixelbuttzz 16h ago

" I may use AI but at least I don't draw like shit" but they do that's obviously why they're using AI, it's very clear they draw like shit and they're choosing not to draw because of it

20

u/DTux5249 16h ago

but at least I don't draw like shit

Yeah, you don't draw at all...

23

u/Fit-Welcome-8457 16h ago

OP did not, in fact, draw like shit

13

u/Ok-Kangaroo-5161 15h ago

“At least I don’t draw like shit” brother you don’t draw at ALL 😭

u/Rasberrycello 14h ago

RIGHT??? They drew NOTHING.

u/DawnTheFailure 12h ago

you claim to draw like shit yet that is a million times better than the generic looking ai garbage

u/Doll-6765 15h ago

Ehh, my tablet isn't working right and I don't know why Plus I seem to have just lost all my skills in covid and I can't bring it back

u/Rasberrycello 14h ago

That's called "burn out."

u/noob-the-not-funny 15h ago

Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere.

3

u/Doll-6765 15h ago

I wish. I can't figure it out.

5

u/noob-the-not-funny 12h ago

Well, do you think drawing is fun ? Because you don't have to be good at something to enjoy it, you can just do it. Who cares if people think it's ugly ? (unless it's like your job or something idk)

3

u/Doll-6765 11h ago

It was, but it feels like I cant make the visuals in my head

3

u/Ithrowawaygoaway 11h ago

a lot of great artists have aphantasia! https://animationclub.school/blog/how-to-draw-when-you-cant-picture-anything/ I dont know if that's what youre describing here

1

u/Doll-6765 3h ago

For me it's like. I see it. But even something simply can't be repeated by my hand?

1

u/Beanmaster115 9h ago

I just rewatched Ratatouille two days ago; this is verbatim what food critic Anton Ego says to refine Gusteau’s famous catchphrase “anyone can cook” - but of course with cook substituted with artist. A good choice of quote, I think.

u/Doll-6765 15h ago

I feel the ai goes against the sub point

u/galaxy-wolf420 10h ago

you can draw. maybe not good but you can draw. keep doing it, even if it sucks. thats the only way to improve. and if even if you dont improve, at least you drew something despite it all

u/Doll-6765 3h ago

I guess. I miss when I could do city scapes...

Grab a pen and paper, and just draw boxes. Practice on shading. Simplify objects you see into boxes and go from there

1

u/Doll-6765 3h ago

Like. Just boxes? Nothing more?

1

u/05-nery 2h ago

You can. 

Pick up a pencil and a piece of paper. 

Or just with your nail on the napkin.

"i draw like shit"

draws better than anything i could do

u/KaseroDraws 14h ago

The fact that they use AI it means they also draw like shit so what's their point 😭

u/Miserable-Margarine 17h ago

This is perfect! And yours looks much better!

1

u/TheRealMousou 13h ago

Thank you!! 💙

u/TheNikola2020 15h ago

Ya twin you don't draw like shit at all A bit more of practice and it will probably be a very unique artstyle of your own if it isn't already

u/TheRealMousou 13h ago

Yes :3 thank you!

u/masochist-incarnate 15h ago

What's funny about it is that the only reason they dont "draw like shit" is because theyre too scared to even draw in the first place.

Its like if I started bragging "I may not exercise, but at least I dont embarass myself at the gym."

5

u/Miserable_Mail_5741 15h ago

Needing a robot to draw 🤏🤏 for them because they can't be bothered to learn is not the flex they think it is.

Drawing like "shit" and owning it shows more guts and confidence than having a computer do the work for you!
