Hi, everybody.
I was asked how I do all sorts of effects and stuff in my art and so I decided to make some videos about it.
I'll start with how I draw backgrounds. To do this, I use the "Smudge" tool in the Paint Tool Sai2 program.
I have only 2 tools with my own settings.
You can copy them, but don't forget that you can experiment by creating your own.
Now I'm adding some colors.
Their location comes out randomly at the moment, but in the picture with this character, I relied on his palette.
Now let's move on to using the main tool. In fact, it just smears and mixes your colors.
I'm doing a wavy motion with this tool creating a unified whole from the colors.
In Photoshop and Sai2 you can use various blending modes.
All of them can make your drawing better by adding interesting little things (or not little things, huh).
For this one I decided to use blending mode called Hard Mix. It highlights the bright spots of your drawing and makes them contrasting.
Next, I'll just balance the contrast and brightness at my discretion.
The result was this. Lazily, but the point is clear. Bye~
