Description Several people have been asking.

This is half tutorial, half walkthrough, and overall very confusing. I apologize in advance!

For this reason, I doubt this will be helpful to many people, haha, but if someone can actually decipher all this and find it useful, don't hesitate to show me what you make!


Original
Reference pictures (c) Studio Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai

8D Glad you find it helpful!
Photoshop-wise, you can play around with the opacity and flow settings of your brushes/eraser to get a similar effect. has much better tutorials on that matter though.
