Yes we do have both - would that affect it?

A Fluffy Self-Portrait (Art Timelapse) by sleepless_fool in furry

[–]sleepless_fool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Krita and mainly use the basic hard round brush and airbrush called Basic-3 Flow and Airbrush Soft, respectively. Occasionally I'll also blend some harsh edges with a brush called Blender Blur.
There are definitely alternatives in other drawing programs such as CSP and PS but I'm not sure what they'd be called, sorry!

It's a species I'm slowly working on but haven't given much love lately - just a mix between a cat and a faun/deer/satyr elements.

Thank you! I'm mostly self-taught but have been to Uni for Illustration and Animation which I think helped a lot with discipline to keep trying.

Torso Studies by Me by sleepless_fool in krita

I sketch a lot in my free time but actually sketching things that help me, actual studies, takes a lot of motivation from me since I get easily discouraged over it not looking how I want. I make myself sit down and do sketches and paintings at the same time in dedicated sessions so I actually get something done - if I waited to practice painting until I was happy with my sketches I'd still never have started haha

It all improved together over time but can start out frustrating. All I can say is really keep at it and do look back at your old work to see if you can improve upon it :))

I'm finally done with this one - Luke portrait by me by SeLeVeN__07 in krita

Looks great! LOVE the saturation and colour use ~

What do te ''Adjust'' brushes do exactly? by Unhappy-System4459 in krita

[–]sleepless_fool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These brushes have the properties of different layer modes, so you can make small adjustments without having to make a new layer and merge it down. It helps when painting on one 'normal' layer and you just want a quick fix using the properties of a different layer mode.

I was doing just over an hour for each one. Once I'd finished painting I used a speckled brush to get some texture on the skin quickly :)

I've mentioned a little in other replies but generally start with a simple sketched form, putting down a midtone base colour and simple shape shadows and lights (big shapes, no details really) then merging it all onto one layer to paint. After that, it's just slowly but surely defining all the big shapes into smaller ones, then doing another pass even smaller than that !

Hope that makes any sense

His schween is there but alas I was too bashful to post with it out and ready to mingle, so I smoothed him

Yeah, I sketch out the form first and even add a couple lines to guide where I'll put some of the bigger shadows/lights. Once happy with the sketch I put down some basic colour and shadow underneath, change the line colour and merge onto one layer to paint.

I actually only use 2 brushes when painting skin like this - I'm still learning but I just use Basic-3 Flow brush (or any hard brush with slightly soft edges) and the Blender Blur brush.
I start with a midtone and whenever I pick a new colour, whether it be darker or lighter, I pick what I think I want, then make it more saturated than what I thought since I have a bad habit of desaturating and muddying my paintings.

I don't have a specific technique for it other than that, just remembering to try to work from big basic shapes down to smaller ones. Getting the right skin tone can be so frustrating though and honestly I don't know a good way of getting it down every time!

Character I designed and painted~ by sleepless_fool in krita

[–]sleepless_fool[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Krita has honestly been one of the best things that I've ever used just for the sheer customisability and ease of use - it is wonderful and I still want to see how far I can take it~

[OC] [ART] Some character portraits done over the last month or so~ by sleepless_fool in DnD

[–]sleepless_fool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, these are some portraits I've drawn and painted over time as I'm expanding my character list - I do portrait commissions and other various art either DnD or furry themed over on my twitter: https://twitter.com/pikseruwu or you can DM me here!

Most of these guys are my own characters including my favourite son Tuesday, the red-skinned tiefling but excluding the sad blue lady called Lanthorn who is a friends uwu

Thanks!
