oil: whats your fav medium of art to work with? acrylic: do you paint? what kind of paintings do you like to make? graphite: are you left handed, right handed, or ambidextrous? brush: what are your brush settings if youre a digital artist, or what types of brushes do you use if you prefer traditional? pencil: when did you first take in interest in art? sketchbook: how many sketchbooks do you own? watercolor: how many wips do you currently have? pastel: what colors/color palettes do you like to work with? copic: what are some of your fav brands of art supplies? chalk: do you prefer your pencil point sharp or stubby? charcoal: what do you listen to when youre creating something? marker: do you like to use markers? eraser: do you post your art anywhere? if on tumblr, add your art tag or art blog! inktober: have you ever done inktober in its entirety? tablet: who is/are your art inspo? clay: what gets you out of an art block? colored pencil: what fandom do you create the most art for?

Quick little video tutorial! This is a method I use to block in shapes when I’m fighting the urge to polish my lineart at an early stage, especially in rough concept art that doesn’t actually need polished lineart.

I group two layers in photoshop—a rough sketch, and a flat color—and then carve out the negative space by painting into a mask on the group, instead of filling in the positive shapes. From there I can start painting and adding shading into that group, knowing that I’ve already locked down a good initial silhouette for the object/character:

It feels like oil painting, and I end up finding silhouettes/shapes in a way I wouldn’t if I was obsessively cleaning up the linework first. Digital art has a tendency to veer towards cleanliness/polish, so I love finding little opportunities for happy accidents and a bit of mess!

I used it on my unicorn piece last month, for instance, which I think would have lost a lot of its dynamism and charm if I had worried too much about doing a full ink pass:

Hope this is at all helpful!  It’s not a method I use 100% of the time, but it really helps move my process along when I do need it 👍🏼
