I Adore Your Rendering!! The Way You Make Skin And Clothing Folds Look So Smooth Is So Good!! No Pressure

I adore your rendering!! The way you make skin and clothing folds look so smooth is so good!! No pressure and if it’s too much then totally dw about it! but would you mind showing your art process? or, maybe what you did/ learned from that made your art so realistic? Keizo with the beanie and june with her stone bracelet is just so good to look at grrrr!

uuuuu THANK YOU! lmao I did those a few years ago so idk what my process was back then...but I know I was inspired my some Range Murata illustrations. My thinking was the subjects were infront of a warm source of light, maybe a lamp located where the viewer is so it's lit right in front! I'm gonna try to show how I tink about it...but it's real quick n messy and I'm bad with words!

Here...I am using an old Juhi sketch to colour...

1. The sketch!

2. Flat fills! Each colour group is it's own layer with the transparency locked. It's the same as using them as colour masks I think?

3. Thinking about how the light source is right in front, I add darker colours around the contours of the larger forms where it recedes away from the light. The colours I chose were slightly warmer too, cuz I feel like that's what I see in Murata's illustrations. I think earlier on he used alcohol markers, which gave it that look...for the skin I feel like it enhances a fleshy look!

4. I blend it out quite a bit! I want the larger forms to look really roundy and soft and gradiated...

5. I add shadows around the smaller forms like the nose, eyes, lips, etc. I paint the hair texture in really rougly because I'm lazy and it doesn't get much better from here ;•)

6. Blending the finer shadows!

7. Pushing values with darker colours closely along the edges of the contours and adding cast shadows, like under the jaw, on the further back cheek, etc

8. Blending the darker contour shadows but not the cast shadows

9. Roughly adding highlights! Towards the front where the lightsource is. I use a lighter shadw with a slightly yellower hue cuz mmm warm also some redness on top of her cheeks and forehead for flush

10. Blending the highlights

11. Colouring in the facial details and shading them the way I shaded the skin. Also added little shadows around the eyes

12. Blended the lil shadows

13. Added highlights to the facial features. When colouring the eyes I think of shading the iris like a concave bowl, and there's a clear, shiny lense that domes over everything that reflects a sharp highlight

These are the different ways I think of where to add highlights and shadows. But adding shading is kind of like the inverse! Idk if any of this makes sense GOMEN

this link here explains different stuff about light and shading way better than I can!

I adjusted the colours on Juhi with sliders and gradient maps just use whatever you think looks best follow your heart

But I tried to point out how the different shapes can effect how the highlights look uuuuuh get it??? idk AAAAAAAA

then I liquify tool it to adjust stuff and put some wholesome noise on it

matching eye horror for u and ur back-from-the-dead bestie <333

THE END

Hello good evening or good morning! I'm from chile. I saw your Mind Yoongi Portrait! Amazing! Um I wanted to ask what was your first portrait? Since you said this is your second ok one! And what was your first art piece or when did you start drawing and were you in any art classes in highschool?

Hello! And it is evening over here where I am. My first portrait was an assignment I had for a final exam in college last semester in drawing 2 to do a self portrait of myself. I started drawing in elementary school it started with sonic the hedgehog and then it slowly evolved to anime like Inuyasha, and bleach and Saint Seiya, etc. i never took art classes I self taught myself it wasn't until my first class in 2019 in college for art that I started doing actual like basic arts. My professor was very tough with me he made me feel like crap but it was because he was telling me the truth overall he's a good guy but like he tells you how things are in his way like he doesn't sugarcoat anything so yeah.... Even though I didn't agree with some of the stuff that like he had told me he's still an awesome professor he cares and he's passionate about what he does and that's what I like in professors that are like passionate because I take things serious when they're like eager or like very passionate about how they teach.

What helped you get better at anatomy? Watching videos or seeing an artist's tutorials?

I've tried answering a similar question here! I'm not an expert but I also tried doin' a lil quick n dirty demo of how I used to study anatomy while doing commissions I start by doing a really loose gesture! Whatever I want/need it to be! Not for the intention of studying, but for the intention of creating a finished pic! Someone’s probably paying for it so I better make sure it looks decent which....makes for good motivation I guess???

Then using what knowledge I already have I refine the sketch by adding details!

(this is a little bit unrealistic because furries never wanted me to draw nipples on their characters wtf but I'm adding them here cuz I like them)

This is just using my memory, but I'm unsure about some parts...

I've seen the delts and biceps before and I know generally where they are but not how they should look when the arm is in this position...same with the pecs! And I've seen those lumps on the sides of people's torsos but I kinda don't understand what they represent...so I'll google images to use as references!

I googled terms like muscular arms raised or torso muscles for these pics. Hmmm...the skins all in the way and it's a bit hard to decipher the forms underneath! I can't really tell what's what! So I'll look at diagrams to help me understand the forms further!

These diagrams show me what the lumpy side muscles are! They "interlock"?? with each other! (these diagrams are from Anatomy for Sculptors)

and this diagram shows me how the pec, delt, and bicep should be arranged! so using these diagrams combined with the photos I can figure out how to arrange the muscles on my drawing!

I guess in this case the difference is more subtle...but when I was first learning about anatomy I went through this process for everything I drew, but not just for isolated parts of the body. I did this for the whole body, basically everything I didn't know about/understand. I still don't have everything memorized! but like I wrote in the linked post, the internet has many resources and references to fill in the gaps so I don't try too hard to memorize everything lol

now you too can ask what the dog doin
