though.</p>http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/28590585954http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/28590585954Thu, 02 Aug 2012 20:04:32 -0400artdigital art<p>Okay, here goes nothing.</p> <p>First of all, I&#8217;m using Paint Tool Sai.</p> <p>Sketchin&#8217;</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z3qNnXt1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>Fuck this post is going to be huge.</p> <p><!-- more --></p> <p>Solid colors. Sloppy. This is the color of shadows, i.e. places that are only lit by ambient lighting. Using brush tool (and only brush tool from here on), with 80-90% density and 30-40% blending.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z4iHwDO1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>Now using the same brush to darken some places. it is</p> <p>1) first and foremost the places where ambient light will have problems getting - cracks, orifices and such.</p> <p>2) Countour. I will later blend it with background. </p> <p>3) Wherever I feel like. Cause I&#8217;m the bawss. </p> <p>/*to the person requested this - If I got what you meant by &#8220;how to get rid of lineart without it looking like a blob&#8221; right, it&#8217;s probably this. The ambient occlusion. </p> <p>I guess what you are talking about is applying the main light source while having sketch over in different layer and thinking about sketch as a part of the picture.</p> <p>If you dont keep in mind (I didn&#8217;t for the longest time) that if something isn&#8217;t pitch black, then it&#8217;s lit by something, like ambient light or some weaker light source.</p> <p>And there are, as I mentioned, places where this light won&#8217;t get. So they should be darker.*/ </p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z4u1Dne1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>Alright, screw the sketch.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z543K5x1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>Now I turn density down - and vary it from time to time (as well as blending) as I feel like - and a&#8230; Well, doing this</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z5g0FJd1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>I can&#8217;t really break this step down any more than that, not in any comprehensible way. Sorry &#8216;bout that.</p> <p>Also, setting minimum size of the brush a tad higher -15% or something like that - helps with blending, makes it smoother.</p> <p>&#8216;Kay, the main light source.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z5rnQCg1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>Blending, adding reflected light, etc, etc. Working on it.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z62KKmG1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>Hey how about some countour light</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z6a5e391roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>Yeah lets make it happen</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z6lmxvQ1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>Making background darker and adding a layer with &#8220;screen&#8221; setting to do this atmosphere effect I&#8217;m using maybe a little too often. </p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z6z3KTI1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>And for color I add an &#8220;overlay&#8221; or &#8220;lumi&amp;shade&#8221; layer (there&#8217;s no &#8220;color&#8221; setting like in photoshop, sigh) and diddle with it.</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m57z76WzaS1roffvp.jpg"/></p> <p>I hope this will be&#8230; Helpful? in some mysterious way.</p>http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24574230754http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24574230754Wed, 06 Jun 2012 20:28:09 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t3wtpAsC1rxptf0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24024129805http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24024129805Tue, 29 May 2012 19:00:29 -0400artdigital art<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t3vsAaF01rxptf0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24024089717http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24024089717Tue, 29 May 2012 18:59:51 -0400artdigital art<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t3u68xjk1rxptf0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24024025430http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24024025430Tue, 29 May 2012 18:58:54 -0400art<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t3sq86cR1rxptf0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24023964412http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24023964412Tue, 29 May 2012 18:58:02 -0400artdigital art<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t3qwAaoD1rxptf0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24023887924http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24023887924Tue, 29 May 2012 18:56:56 -0400artdigital art<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t3p77zIC1rxptf0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24023818596http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24023818596Tue, 29 May 2012 18:55:55 -0400artdigital art<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t3kkOoAb1rxptf0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24023631081http://zaagn.tumblr.com/post/24023631081Tue, 29 May 2012 18:53:07 -0400artdigital art
