WAIT I DIDN'T KNOW YOU USED PROCREATE?? Do You Have Any Art Tips?? Especially For Painting And Your Art

WAIT I DIDN'T KNOW YOU USED PROCREATE?? Do you have any art tips?? Especially for painting and your art style in general because I just CAN'T do painting at all

Usually I use CSP, but sadly, I’m away from my computer and I’m wary about the whole ‘transferring licenses, but only a limited amount of times that we won’t tell you how many’ business, so I use Procreate in the meantime!

My biggest art tip for wrangling a new art program is try and find your way around my brushes. In CSP, my main brush is the regular g-pen, and it took me a while, but the technical pen roughly fills the same niche.

Procreate also doesn’t have a multi-layer select / colour drop feature, so at times I either trace the lineart with a base colour or transfer the .psd file to Ibis Paint X (which arguably works like a dream on airplane mode) to select it for me and transfer it back. I used to use IPX mainly before weaning myself to Procreate, but it’s fine to use both just as much!

Also; look at what other people are doing, specifically drawing within Procreate. When I first got CSP years back, I didn’t like it. The brushes weren’t like Medibang’s brushes at all. I had to do the above tips, as well as look at people drawing within the art program to break it in for me.

^^ THIS ALSO DOES WONDERS FOR GAINING AN ART STYLE. Not just watching people draw, but studying their paintings. My favourite painters are Clockbirds and Bubblewolf, both of whom’s paintings I look at closely when I paint. I also recommend looking at @.obscure-entity / snaps on TH because it’s method of shading is something I like to utilise at times!

But arguably the most important tip I can give is; don’t stop trucking onwards. You may feel you may not be able to paint but instead of “I can’t paint”, it should be “I may not be able to paint now, but I will”. Your mind is a powerful machine, make it work for you!

And lastly I am extremely happy to have gotten this ask! It made my night <3

[ Girls Night ]

This character is often considered to be erratic or animal like since her behavior consists much about instincts. This involves a habit to stare, bite at the hand that feeds it, and stalk its prey. Of course, this doesn’t mean she’s considered less intelligent. Its clever in its ability to lure and linger without being seen; It can’t be tamed too easily, she’s better than that. Unless, if you have her favorite treat!

Been thinking about these guys again...

✦ LIVING HELMS, PILOTS

Living helms are pseudo-denizens, only made up of a head structure. They typically have large mouth structures as well as eyes lacking pigment. The caruncles of a LH is black, and typically the origins of long, prehensile ‘whiskers’, ranging from 2 mm to 16 mm thick. Along their underside is an orifice capable of accepting the head of a person, with the mouth structure being spacious enough to allow a person’s head to be seated inside comfortably. Speech, the contents of which show that the majority are intelligent enough to be considered sentient, is conducted by a form of telepathy.

A living helm’s reproduction is generally unknown given the fact that the species has low enough numbers to be considered at a concern for extinction consistently since their first documentation, dating back to the Forefathers Era. Most pilots, however, report either skewed memories of first getting them, or no memories pertaining to finding them whatsoever.

Pilots, on the other hand, are denizens that seem to have been specifically brought up alongside them. They have neural ports in their necks, small orifices that lead directly to their bloomage so that a living helm can insert its nerve cords to meet it. Pilots and Helms tend to form strong bonds to one another, both socially and physically, the living helm sending boost of hormones (adrenaline, dopamine, etc) as well as numbing pain receptors in some cases in order to benefit the pilot, as aided by the nerve cords.

Now I know I would introduce the glass blowing race but there’s also a species of body-modding fungus/bacteria ‘anthros’ that have 4 sexes that I wrote up about the other day that I need to talk abt
