i'm really sorry but can i ask you something about your drawings?? i mean... how do you make those blurry edges? they look VERY pretty and i'd like to learn how to make them.. i watched a video where you draw but didn't see you working on that... you don't need to answer if you don't want to but i really love your drawings and i'd love to know more about it!! thanks a bunch!

Ask away anon-chan, I love helpin’ people out when it comes to art stuff!

Anyways, I assume you’re talking about these edges here?

That too is thanks to that Photoscape program I’m always talking about!

I’ll put this info under a readmore since this post got real long thanks to the screenies (sorry mobile users…)

bec!! how do you do the inifinite loopy background thing? i dont know if youve answered this before but i wanted to do something like that too!!

I actually used a little trick that I learned years ago, but sadly I can’t find the tutorial anymore, so I’ll see if I can recreate it!

You make a new canvas with a relatively small size and make sure that it is a square! For this example, I used 300x300. And then try to cram everything in that one square.

Then you open up Photoshop and go to the Filters tab, find Other, and then select Offset (I believe CS2 and above is capable of doing this).

And then you mess with the numbers a bit.

I heard that setting the Horizontal and Vertical values to half of your canvas width and height might help (for example, 150 and 150 since my canvas size is 300x300). I haven’t tested it but you can definitely try it!

Hope this helps!
