how do you color eyelashes?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

oipster In reply to SprinkleKnight [2013-06-21 17:37:40 +0000 UTC]

I make and clip another layer to the lineart for my eyes. Then, I color the eyelashes a slightly darker color than the darkest color in the eye. After that, I make and clip one more layer to that and set it to screen and lightly go over the ends and little eyelashes i draw in a lighter, but not usually white, color and change the opacity, hue, etc. Hope that helps! If you need more help, just ask : )

hello there ^.^ I think the eyes are really cute and I really want to colour them like that but I'm stuck at 1 step >.<

It's the one where you were saying

set the layer to screen (AGAIN with that cute face)
and colour the half circle with complimentary colours. May I know how you got the bottom half of the circle to look so transparent? everytime i colour, i just get this purple blob of hard colour.

sorry >.<

Hi hi! Sorry for taking so long to respond, I don't visit dA that often anymore because I'm pretty busy lol and I know what you mean!

I make a bit of a circle and then the blur it on the bottom so it has a little edge on the top (like in the picture)

I hope this helps; I'm going to actually do a step by step real quick and send it to you to make what I said understandable lol;;

And no problem! Your question was nbd

Yeah sometimes I wish I could be really good naturally
But drawing is very fun so it's not a bad thing to have to draw a lot

I really like looking back at drawings from when I was younger
makes you see how much you've progressed
Lol I found this drawing where I drew a cat next to a house,
and the cat was even bigger than the house

oipster In reply to piccohan [2012-12-11 22:34:49 +0000 UTC]

Naturally? o: But this is naturally! Even if you used a tutorial, you still drew it, right? X) And I feel the same~ looking back on old drawings is HILARIOUS! XD But I keep them to check my progress on how far I've come~

Sorry for my bad english >///<
I meant that when you meet people on DA who are really good, then it's sometimes hard to imagine that they as well started small
Sometimes I want to be that good instantly
But I know I will get there someday

Oh, no, your English is near perfect! @u@ don't worry about it lol~ Ah I see c: That's how I feel about a lot of artists, too, and it's kinda cool to look back at their old drawings like I look back at my own! c:

Samhain-Voodoo [2012-11-24 05:22:20 +0000 UTC]

I've tried this a MILLION times, and I can't figure it out. When I use the clipping it doesn't do the same that it does here...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

oipster In reply to Samhain-Voodoo [2012-11-24 14:05:22 +0000 UTC]

Do you clip ALL the shading layers to the original base color layer? o: otherwise it won't work

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Samhain-Voodoo In reply to oipster [2012-11-25 07:15:08 +0000 UTC]

I think I may have figured it out. There was just some technique things I had to work through. Still can't figure out how you get the bottom images though

oipster In reply to Samhain-Voodoo [2012-11-25 15:52:03 +0000 UTC]

Great! If you have any problems, you could maybe take a screenshot & show me & I'll try to fix it~ *w* and those bottom layers were above the lineart, each separate ^^ the last one, though, is clipped to the eye lineart, and just airbrushed with a different color~

Samhain-Voodoo In reply to oipster [2012-11-25 18:53:32 +0000 UTC]
