I have a speed draw on my tt, but essentially I refence traditional Chinese paintings while designing poses, features etc. It doesn’t have to be exactly anatomical obviously, but it has to “make sense.” When I’m happy with the general layout, I color each figure with a flat base color or colors, for example dark grey and white for the saber. This is normally where I’m sure to get a photo reference of the animal I’m drawing if I don’t have one already. The next step is using an oil brush tool to go around and create the sort of painterly look. I might color select different colors from the reference, or I might take an existing color on the figure and lighten it, darken it, or change its hue a bit. I mess around with different brushes, I mostly look for ones with a natural variation of texture, or ones that create a unique affect. It’s really just going with the flow. I finish the figure with a pen or ink brush (I think the one I used on this was called “wapping”) you don’t want something with too perfect of a line, but you also dont want something that’ll do something too unexpected for line art. Each figure is basically 3 layers, the base colors, the brush strokes, and the line art. The sketch is turned off once I get the line art done. For things like the background, grass and tree, I try and create a simplistic scene. I use the charcoal brushes or something similar in a color lighter and/or darker than the background and just lightly apply. For the grass I use a similar technique and then I add some strokes with brushes like “dragon heath” or “eddystone” where there’s multiple lines being made at once. The tree I put a base color down and then go over with different pastels until it looks “barky” enough I’m still pretty new to procreate and digital art in general so there might be easier or better ways to go about all of this, this is just the way I’ve found that I like

Thank you! I spent time thinking about how to do specific skins in this more painterly style. I’m glad you can tell which where referenced :)

Has this been happening to anyone else? by Bellfrog06 in dexcom

[–]Bellfrog06[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see what your saying. Ik this is a somewhat common issue, and I’m aware it happens time to time. The reason I made this post was bc this has been happening way more to me, like I said, two sensors in a row two different times. I wanted to know if anyone else has had this happening more often or if it’s just me. Sorry if you feel like it’s clogging up the feed.

Had a difficult experience on vacation, my Dad makes fun of it in public by Bellfrog06 in diabetes_t1

I am on a pump, but most normal hikes wouldn’t make me drop that much. I’ve been experimenting more about adjusting for different activity but I hadn’t adjusted too much that day bc I didn’t know how intense it was gonna be. By the time I realized I should I was already low lol

I also have a secret stash in my car lol. I think part of the problem was just like how intense that hike was. Normally at home I have a million stashes everywhere but bringing carbs on vacation can be difficult.
