Anonymous asked: Psst. Hi. This is going to be an odd question. But in RGB's original outfit in the first chapter, is his bowtie brown or black? It's just, the lighting changes panel to panel and I'm not sure. I'm making a costume and I dun wanna make any mistakes. .-.
it’s black! it’s made of satin and the lighting from his screen is very slightly amber so that causes it to look slightly brown sometimes, and as shades of black go it’s a warm tone rather than a cold (blue) tone :|b
Anonymous asked: do you use a special brush to paint the tree or is it like a weird filter thing?
I wish it was the latter I use the default fuzzy brush with scatter and wet edges applied at a low-ish opacity
and then it’s just lots of layering and varying the amount of spacing/size to make it look more in/out of focus in places, I have come to refer to this as the ‘splutch brush’ in my head :D
I usually do a harder contour sketch first so I know what my key values are going to be, but through trial and error I’ve found that just going pellmell at mixing up the colours like I would with chalk pastels results in the best effect so it all ends up being on the same layer in the end
