Ratnap's random art

as-warm-as-choco:

A master post of Thomas Romain’s art tutorials.

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

Was told to draw one of my characters in Maid outfit doing Maid stuff. So I did, it’s just a quick sketch of Joana wearing a Maid outfit (and apparently nothing else :p )

Despite it being very convenient to be able to sleep upside down on tall trees during adventures Locke should probably reconsider doing that, especially if she doesn’t believe in underwear :x

First of the art4art trades, this ones from Ratnap/Clan Rodaron (both NSFW)

They drew my Character Edd so I drew their Bunny character Eldena. (I actually like how this one came out.)

If you’d like to take part here’s the initial post with my OC’s. Just draw one and send it my way with a reference for your own character.

Eldena: Waaah I look so cute! =:}

So I came upon this post here and since I’m still reluctant of really drawing humanoids after 1 year of inactivity I tried to pony pony again. Eh I’ll say it was a success ^^’ So yeah, draw one of that guys OC’s and he’ll draw one of yours in return...

Hey! I've seen you use a brush a few times in your streams that makes 'hollow' lines, what on earth is it? It looks so useful, It's been driving me crazy!

Sorry it took so long to get to this, Anon! 

Basically this all came about because I am LAZY and will find shortcuts for EVERYTHING if I can. Like detail work. 

HOLLOW LINES: For when you wanna look like you put effort into your details without actually putting the effort in:

So the way I get the “hollow” lines in Clip Studio/Manga Studio is with the “border effect” tool! (A similar effect can be used in Photoshop by using “outer glow” if you play with the settings!)

It’ll be found to the far right, just above “Layers” (or at least it is for me!)

image

That lil circle-sucker right there. 

image

You can change the thickness of the outline and even the color of it!

image

For this, my “edge color” is black. You can then just scribble whatever you want, color it however you want, etc etc.

image

I often use it for super quick detail work. LOTS OF SWIRLS! 

image

I hope that helps! 


EDIT (for you Photoshop people!): 

image

Thank you, @badaxefamily!

@nathanielgraves @afniel

Heck yes, I love doing this. It’s like instant detail gratification. ♥

I wanted to give this a try.. I ended up with a different result, but its still a neat brush!

Your most recent post has soft of Flipnote-esque dots for shading, how did you do that?

rambamboo:

that kind of look is called screentones !! for digital i think most artists have their own screentone brushes but i have kind of a janky way of doing it that doesnt require downloading brushes lol ok so

1) draw your very. beautiful . pictur e

image

2) google image ‘screentones’ and there’s tons of screentones that ppl have scanned, so just pick one you want and copy and paste it under your line layer so it’s all over the canvas like hurting tf out of your eyes (if its a big drawing make sure the screentone covers the whole canvas .. like just resize it)

image

3) make a layer under the layer w the screentone and then clip the screentone to it .. now you just draw on the blank layer and the screentone shows up like its a brush. amazing

hope this helped !!!
