I was looking for an easy map creator that makes beautiful maps for a while now to make a visually stunning map to go along with my book. And now, after such a long search i have finally found one that suits my needs! Because i like it so much, i thought i’d share it with you guys! Just go to inkarnate.com and start creating! I have to warn you though, it is still in beta so a lot still needs to be added, but already it looks great and is easy to use!
I mean just look how beautiful some of these maps are!
And it is so much fun too! Someone even created a game of thrones map that is simply amazing!
So check it out and start creating your visual aid for your story. I promise you, it really is super easy and you will make one in no time!
Hi! I would like to talk a little bit of the thought process behind photo study and the importance of simplicity.
It is really important to break down an image to chunks of value rather than seeing the detail first, which can lead to over-complicated mush of colors with no constructed value.
These are some of the artists that inspired me to get used to breaking down images in the most simplest way possible:
<ANDY HARKNESS>
Notice how super simple and straight-on-point his thumbs are? And this is how his colorscript for Moana looks like:
<NATHAN FOWKES>
Zero detail. Yet you have all the information you need!
I personally think these thumb studies are super important to train your eyes to break down an image in values and colors and therefore be able to organize and design your painting better.
A really late TUTOR TUESDAY on antlers which ARE NOT horns, so ya’ll can stop razzin’ me about not putting them on last weeks tutorial! If you have any tutorial recs send ‘em in here or my personal! Keep practicing, have fun, and I’ll see you next week!
aaaaa i haven’t seen a post like this before so i figured i’d make my own? i hope a few people would find this useful cuz i don’t think everyone knows yet! anyway here we go:
Anything between 300-539 pixels width will be stretched to 540!
So 299 is the magic number to avoid tumblr blowing up your reaction images! What I also do is just set my canvas to 540 pixels and draw within that, if I think 299 pixels will be too small.
Of course, this only applies to the website and not the mobile app.
For a while now, I’ve wanted to do something to show off how diverse school uniforms can get in animes. For the sake of the project, I tried to pull from shows from various eras, genres (though it hardly reaches outside of “slice of life” if a school uniform is involved), and well-known as well as a few more obscure ones. I had a lot of fun working on this and I hope everyone enjoys it!
