I introduce a teaser for a new comic. This sketch is page 3/?? of a comic that I have been wanting to make for a while.
I definitely did not let the praise of my previous comic go to my head and I would never, ever, ever tackle a project that much too large for my skillset. If I burnout, you have permission to dox/stalk me, beat me bloody, hack me apart with axes and end my bloodline.
On a serious note, I was blown away by this communities reaction to my previous topic. You guys are awesome and encourage me to keep making art <3
P.S.
Art GODS, what you see here is three layers in PS. The background, borders, and the sketch. When I color this, I will make a new layer under the sketch and color everything by hand with the pencil tool until I go insane. Wishful thinking, but is there a better way to color shit? Specifically not having to play âcolor within the linesâ for every object and detail. If you know any tips at all, lemme know
Fluffies have a confusing metabolism. On one hand, they seem to always be hungry. On another, they tire very quickly and are very lethargic compared to real animals.
Magic wand tool. The exact appearance of the icon varies between programs, but hereâs the paint shop icon:
Should be right by the other selection tools. What this baby does is that it selects everything within a certain area, based on how big the contrast is. AKA if you pick that tool and then click on the fluffies, you can just insta-color them all with the paint bucket tool:
Alright! Much better! Still not perfect, a few pieces didnât get colored in. But just include those with the lasso selection tools or draw them in with the pencil tool afterward, which - suffice to say - is much less painful than doing everything in pencil tool, and âŚ
If you want an easier way, and donât mind using another program to do one thing with it (maybe two if you want to shade in it too), you can use this video on fast coloring.
This is a question you may have, which I have as well.
The honest answer is I jedi flip through styles constantly and I like to draw what people like, which is fat little chungus babbehs. I wouldnât know where to start with drawing an emaciated foal. Maybe 2 curves like this â) (â under their eyes to show sunken cheeks. I saw a post from @Baron_Trump titled âChirpeh Sketchâ (donât know how to make the title of a work a link! (newfag!!!)) which was a wonderful depiction of foal bone structure.
My cope answer Iâll pretend is lore is that fluffies have terrible digestion by design. They might absorb 20% of what they eat and the rest passes right through them. This makes sense considering why they are always hungry despite eating calorie dense kibble and human fast food waste. Thus their poop has a lot of calories, and despite tasting disgusting, is a crude substitute for normal food.
A beggarâs meal of moldy ramen and egg rolls between a small herd would make for a large pile of crap, which would be an equivalent feast to a dedicated poopie. This may even be a source of contempt for fluffies as they see the poopie as âbig and strongâ while they are starving. In reality heâs a bloated, sickly, miserable poopie who should be mercy killed.
Anyway, I should probably stop procrastinating. Happy New Years!
this is probably late, but as someone who isnât especially familiar with the software-side of digital art
what i tend to do is duplicate my line-layer to a layer underneath my lines. ensure itâs all fully enclosed, and paint bucket that layer. your line layer stays nice and clear and dark. then just use your brushes or other techniques to give texture.
what you can also do if you do not want black linework is drawing the silhouette of your shape with the basecolor you want and fill-in with that. add detail and texture from there. draw it in a layer above your sketchlayer as normal.
Seems like the story gonna be about a brother or sister foal that loves his poppie brother/sister. But his/her mother doesn´t like that, I really want to see how the story develops, it has a lot of potential.
thank you! This comic im treating as a project car as I post shorter comics and develop my skillz. I got something really special planned for our little poopie boy
Your style is so pretty!
could of been used on such a nicer colored sibling.
