Here's another cool thing you can do with a scan or photograph of a drawing Step 1: Draw line art with whatever pencil or pen you have and then scan it or take a photo of it. Take the scan/photo and set the saturation to 0% and ramp up the contrast pretty high and you get nice line art Then just be lazy again and magic wand select the background and delete it Next step: Magic wand select the white and transparent areas then do select -> inverse. This is the lazy way to eliminate aliasing issues and make the lines a little more solid and inky. Use a brush to draw everything in one color to get solid line art, then start using other colors to distinguish outlines between different things, keeping your current selection the entire time so you don't color outside the lines Next, create a layer behind the line art and fill each section in with a lighter color. BIG ART TIP FOR NEWBIES: Don't just fill a section with a brighter/darker version of the same color. To fill in the brown rocks I mixed in some yellow. I also mixed in some yellow with the green in the plans. For the buildings I shifted the blue toward purple Then to add in some special effects I select the white and move it to its own layer on the top, then create a 25% opacity layer beneath it and add some glass color to the dome that you might not see in my post yet because it's very similar to byob background colors Next take a photo from the NASA astronomy photo of the day And as a final step look up the NASA Image Use Policy to make sure the image can be used for commercial purposes then shamelessly participate in capitalism by selling it as a t-shirt and collect those internet dollars And insert a SEO-friendly link: 'Are you there, Saturn? We need a new home.' T-Shirt by @bleaksploitation Total time start to finish: 1 hour and 12 minutes, including time spent cuddling with a cat, but not including time spent on the original drawing in the first place, I drew it months ago it's part of this: deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Aug 18, 2020 |

Hmm I shouldn't have looked at the other posts before uploading my would-have-been masterpiss "Man in green shirt wearing Hankkijapipo" that was ruined by the not-highliter-proof biro, because now I feel it isn't quite up to par. But I'll post it anyway

i sculpt small aminals from clay, paint them, add uplifting/depressing sayings, tag them with a dedicated instagram # then when i travel i leave aminals behind for strangers to find i am kicking off a new batch of aminals with a birb: if you are curious as to what finished aminals look like here is a random sampling: |

I wouldn't take it because I would assume someone would come looking for it eventually (unless it was there for several days but someone else would probably just snag it first). These are really cool, and leaving them as gifts is a really cool idea.

I'm used to pretty much only coloring things in flat shades with actual acrylic or pen or whatever, and I also have never mixed traditional scanned drawing with adding additional detail in photoshop while coloring so I'm just trying new things here From this scanned pen drawing: Even just all of that has been a ton of work I am really not looking forward to shading the clouds in particular |

i really like the mixture of scanned drawings with digital additions. those shaded clouds are gonna be so worth it i feel like |

I'm not sure yet how I feel about this method for the clouds: I used a very low flow rate airbrush to paint shadows and highlights on them, then on another layer above them I painted a low opacity grey "mist" highlighting them and around their edges. Then I put a lens flare on the layer with the greys to emulate light shining on the tops of the clouds and diffusing throughout them. I think it looks kind of sloppy so maybe I'll re-do it but But it did at least clearly separate the line art bits like the buildings and vehicles from the clouds. Maybe have a layer of clouds over the cars on the road and obscuring part of the skyline too And of course I can still mess with the color, I'm having a real hard time settling on a color for the sky + clouds Doing it this way has one pretty major benefit, it will let me get very creative with having various lights (windows, headlights, neon signs I'll add to buildings, whatever) that diffuse through the clouds and create neat glow effects that will make the city pop and seem livelier deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Aug 26, 2020 |

i like the brightness of the clouds. it looks like there's a lot going on, but with a lighter color it feels less overwhelming |

I have the next 8 days off from work, one of the things I want to do is put together a bunch of somewhat generic landscapes that I can use for some unknown project (either a comic book or a video game or something, idk) anyway here's the one I started this afternoon I'll probably draw different foregrounds and backgrounds and then combine them modularly I've always sorta wanted to make a CYOA game using Twine or something like that so that's kind of what's on my mind deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Aug 31, 2020 |

Anyway so the thing I want to make is basically a cosmic horror graphic novel and/or interactive fiction type thing and I need to make it both spookier and livelier deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Aug 31, 2020 |

i’m digging the progress you’ve made with it. have you thought about experimenting with clouds in the sky? it might carry over from the previous thing you were working on |

Sort of. I've been trying to do a kind of volumetric clouds thing with light shining off the moon I don't really have it where I want it though. Here's a bigger version of where it's at right now |
