Description

EDIT: I just want to explain why i chose to use yellow and green. Green, because for the background i had in mind, the main color was green, and yellow, because it was the highlight. that is why, if you do a very dark  cave thing, use purple, blue, brown, or anything like such. Always think, highlight, background color, and warmth (warmth being the reddish color)

I made a tutorial, showing my way of making a character fit into the background. 

This is an example of making the character fit into a bright summer background, however, you can also instead of using yellow and green, use blue and purple ( if doing a night time drawing, for an example). The reddish color is one that i'd normally use no matter what - it lightens up the drawing, and adds some warmth.

I hope this is helpful, and I'm sorry if i got some words wrong. As most of you know, my first language isn't english u v u

Have a great day! I'm off to the beach now B^)

in step 5, does over-lay/ hard light means that you just simply put all layers together? i dont have nether of those since i use FireAlpaca so im not sure what they mean

GoldenDragonART In reply to PeashyChan [2016-06-05 15:17:20 +0000 UTC]

You do have them. I have fire alpaca as well ( though i do not use it much ) and you definitely have overlay. 

No, the layers arent supposed to be merged together. you choose the layer option, to change it to overlay

prntscr.com/bcmztz (it's called the blending on fire alpaca apparently )

DrakynWyrm [2016-06-05 11:57:19 +0000 UTC]

I'll actually have to try that! xD

Normally, I use the airbrush tool to slowly and subtley fit them in more.

Oohh awesome! xD

Yeah, I figured this out during some pixeling (works wonders for pixels)
and it's a really easy way to add some different lighting
