COLOR PALETTE MASTERPOST by forbiddenforest

So today I felt like sharing some useful websites that provide pre-made color palettes (left side), as well as sites that allow you to create custom ones (right side). They can be used for graphic design, themes, art, interior design, or just something pretty to look at.

Just some tips from me!

zyuz:

brush presets two: painting

I literally use middle flat acrylic brushes for everything

the midline is a setting that was circulating around tumblr like half a year ago, the two derivatives are my own though.

The ‘Sweet Desu Jesus’ Pen from the last set is also used to refine details out

there’s other miscellaneous brushes that I have that I end up using as accents but they’re not settings I made myself and, like the midline acrylic, they’ve been circulating for like half a year so I’d prefer not to throw them in here. UuU

here, have wings.

Good Resources:

Puget Sound Wing and Tail Collection (where all the wing images I used came from)

Origin of Flight in Birds

Animating Bird Flight (great resource for ALL artists)

ignore the shitty graphic

Okay so this was a request from last week, I guess? After I posted that KnB graphic (which was not that successful anyway it had a lot of errors. ew.). Then I wrote in my faq that I’m not gonna share it for the meantime but I promised that I’ll make a tutorial instead. 

So here it is, the long promised tuts. I decided to finally post it since I somehow know now how to do things in AE. That one in my KnB graphic was a beta. It was my first time so it was really awful. WE’RE GONNA DO THIS THING FROM SCRATCH.

Things you’ll need when doing this:

1. Patience. Tons of it. Yes, TONS.
2. Photoshop CS5 Extended or CS6 Extended

I made this tutorial hastily so the output isn’t that quality. ごめんなさい。orz

Please like or reblog if you found this helpful. Just that. Thankies.

I have briefly gone over how I get my lines crisp over here, and what programs I use here.  Drawing bigger is usually the best way to hid shaky lines.  If you zoomed in some of my bigger pieces you’ll see a bit of shakiness in my lines.

I once tried to make a tutorial of how I get my colors, but it became kinda hard and many other artists have already covered it way better than I ever could.  I’ll just share you a quick idea of my own process through my shitty Photoshop program Elements 6.0.

Over here I made an arrangement of some colors and only adjusted the brightness of them.  They look kinda dull.  The browner tones look the dullest.  Dull isn’t always a bad thing though.  It can really make some other colors pop!

Below we have the same center colors from above, but for some reason, they don’t look so dull.

How could this be?  The darker and lighter colors are actually a different tone of color!  Some of them are slightly duller to make the the other color stand out.  I tend to make lighter tones more warmer and darker tones more cooler.

Below are a series of lazy steps of how I get the color pink it’s shade and hi-light.

Below is a collection of saved colors I have in my Firealpaca.  It really does come in handy for me.  These colors really do inspire me.

Finally, I’ll leave these color reference/tutorials/resource links here that demonstrate things better.

I stumbled upon these and love them! If you struggle with hands (like me) these are great for practice and referencing. Thought I’d share my finds with other artists~.
