Description Waaaaah first tutorial!!!
Finished picture here [link]

Sorry if it's not really helpful/informative but I just really wanted to make one
Basically, I always experiment around with various processes, and I really realllllllllllly liked this one, so I told myself
"MAKE SCREENS OR YOU'LL FORGET HOW YOU DREW THIS"

I'm serious. It really happens. Sometimes I merge layers, sometimes I add some specific effects or layer styles, and then I forget what I did the next time I want to do it again, which is really sad

So now this won't happen~ I hope

Also! I finally freaking found the brush I was searching for all this time! ENDLICH GOTT DANKE Took me so long! For the last couple 10 pictures I drew, I was searching and searching for the right settings, always experimenting around and now it finally happened. Thank you Sai. Don't ever torture me like that again

Well, I hope you enjoy reading this confusing tutorial!! I'll be happy if you at least make it to the end and learn a couple things from it
My basics now are to keep the layers to a minimum, use lots of colors, blend them together, and add sparkles everywhere. The only thing that makes me sad is the lack of exposed nipples
Maybe next time then~

Oh and...
Sorry for the penises and other inappropriate stuff Chu-chan is just my mascot ok? She's nice, cute and friendly

And of course please do watch Shinsekai Yori if you have time *because it has Shun in it*
and like this [link] post so that the novel will be translated!!! (QuQ)


Media Sai and Photoshop
Font used It's my own handwriting. Created it with this [link]

Thank you very much for you support up until now! Hope you can bear with me and my Shun-obsession for a little while and sorry for what might follow in the future *R18 SatoruxShun stuff oh gods what am I doing x/////x* Definitely not posting here on dA though so I guess you're still safe haha~ *hides*

Interesting tut, thank you XD I just recently started to work on 'lines blended with flats' and I have to say it's much easier and fun (I used to hate lineart so much LOL) and I see you do it too XD

sakonma In reply to KanaKuroDaiya [2013-05-05 20:03:43 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And yes recently I started blending my lines with my flats and my drawing-speed improved greatly because of it No more countless hours spent struggling to draw clean lines ohohohoho!

Btw thank you very much for the watch!

LOL my thoughts exacly. I started being faster and enjoying painting so much more because I didn't have to do clean lines anymore XD

Oh, so welcome, I'm glad I found my way to your gallery, it's so awesome And I love that you write in your comments when you try different things/brushes/settings etc. Makes me wanna try new things too XD

sakonma In reply to shuu-p [2013-02-05 09:28:44 +0000 UTC]

Thanks dear! Glad you like it!
Oh! That's easy!
First you'll need photoshop for it~
Write/draw whatever you wish on a layer. Then right click on it, and choose the "Blending Options" option
Then you click on the tab saying "outer glow"
Next you pick whichever color you'd like as the outline-color.
After that you can pretty much play around with all the options in this tab. What I did for the text in this tutorial specifically is:
Blend Mode:"Normal"
Size: 3
Range: 1

And done!!

Hope that helped~
