StronkBear@surejohn I ended up getting a brush pack. Drawing body hair yourself is fine when you only have to draw a character once. 2-3 times per page is another thing entirely.
@StronkBear i cannot imagine how time consuming it must be for you + rendering light and shadows too!
@surejohn I tend to do something a bit like this: https://youtube.com/shorts/AkiWFli2d5s?si=yU7Dq5bKP2T5rBvr
The Fastest Way to Color a Character in Under 2 Minutes! ⏳
@surejohn Main difference is I do a 1st pass render where I use a multiply layer to do an overcast shading, where the light isn’t coming from any specific direction. Then I put a purple multiply layer over the top, and erase the parts that the light is hitting.
@StronkBear ah yes. i used to do this too until i changed my style. still do it when i want a quick render without thinking about it too much. this is v good technique!
@surejohn yeah, good for fast rendering a page. For covers and single illustrations I’m moving more towards painting
