I use a combination of hand made textures and SAI brushes :) these are the brushes I commonly use in SAI for bits that’ll be textured later, I tend to mess around with these settings as I work.

after painting everything I have a set of textures and brushes in PS(this is a small selection of my commonly used ones)

All of these are made from either watercolour, acrylic or marker sheets I’ve made up. I have a tutorial here that covers how to turn them into textures!

and here’s what the progression looks like!

generally I’ll use the textures with their layer type set to Overlay unless I want something sharp, in which case I’ll leave it normal and just colour it.

Anonymous: hi hi I was just wondering if it would be possible to get your DAI cards as iphone/ipod cases, if thats possible!
I’m quite happy to upload whichever design you’d like to either my Red Bubble or Society6 :) just let me know which site you prefer if any, and which design you’d like! (there are 18 cards now so it’d take a while to add them all…)
This goes for virtually any of my work and whatever you’d like to buy it on!…as long as it’s available on either of those two sites XD it also helps if you ask off anon if you make a request! that way I can send links privately and not spam everyone :)

Anonymous: Would you be doing online tumblr lessons. Showing how you do all the stuff from animating to doing character creations. Like how to videos 😁😁😁
Probably not, but I’m happy to attempt to make a tutorial of some kind for anything! and that could involve something in video form :) if anyone finds something I’ve made and they’d like to know how I did it then feel free to send me a message with a link! next time I do something similar I’ll record myself or take little progress bits.

giraffectionate replied to your post: Hi I was wondering how did you did the
I don’t really understand the blob thing? How does that help I’m so confused.
Oh! it’s only useful if you’re working perfectly symmetrical! when you flip an object it does so in relation to the object, not the canvas. So when you flip an object, it’ll be in the same spot as it was just flipped(in my example I’ve already moved the arm in to the right spot!).
If you want it on the opposite side of the canvas as well as flipped you need to add junk in the corners so the layer is treated as a canvas sized image.
if that makes sense ^^’ sorry, it’s a bit weird.

Anonymous: You can flip a single layer in PS. You go to Edit > Tranform instead of flipping the whole image in the Image menu. Going Edit > Trasform > Flip Horizontal (or flip vertical or whatever) will flip the active layer you're on OR if you have selected something on your active layer will flip that selection.
Oh! thanks for letting me know! I was sure it was somewhere XD hehe
I’ll add that to the post :) thanks again!

Anonymous: Hi I was wondering how did you did the thing in the speedpaint of connie where you like duplicated her arm so you wouldn't have to draw it again? Sorry if I'm not specific I just don't know what it's called lol
No problem, I know exactly what you’re talking about! :) I tend to do this a bunch if I’m either working symmetrically or to help with proportions on opposite limbs. As far as I know you can’t do this in PS, cause you can only flip the whole file and not a single layer.
So you’ve drawn a super amazing arm and want another one! First duplicate the layer, flip it horizontally:

then just move your new arm into place! TA-DA!

If you’re working perfectly symmetrical you can add some blobs in opposite corners, so when you flip it it stays in the right spot!

Hope that helps! :D

Anonymous: I was looking at the sketch cards you made a I was wondering how do you know where to use the white get pen to show light in you drawings❓💯
The same way you know where to put shadow! :D
There are two pens I use - a white gel pen for little highlights, these are the same as highlighting normally. And Posca pen for big things, where I do ‘reverse-shading’. I do it with my digital work too (you can see a bit here). It’s just teaching yourself how to think about light differently.
