Description edit: i made a folder in my gallery for tuts and things indui.deviantart.com/gallery/4… in case you want to look at the others

I know the way I color eyes is nothing special, but I have gotten several requests for how I color in general. I feel you could use this as a basis for the types of choices I make in terms of color

For example, I don't use dark blue to shade blue, or dark green to shade green.Β 
Depending on the mood, sometimes I shade blue with dark red, or dark purple. In fact, the LAST color I'd use to shade blue is dark blue. (Well, maybe besides black XD)

Sometimes I set the shading layer to "Multiply," sometimes I don't. It all depends on what looks good. I could never make a full-blown tutorial because I'd mostly be saying "Well, I just color this with the color that I think looks good/shade this until it looks good" XD

so whatever. Maybe this isn't helpful, maybe it is hopefully in some way it is!

Thanks for reading

I JUST GOOGLED IT!

Homestuck, do you mean?


I chose red, green and blue for my tutorial because they're primary colors. It's coincidence that they're the same as those characters ^^ or maybe not, depending on what the author was thinking ~

indui In reply to Xehiem [2013-09-11 21:39:09 +0000 UTC]

thank you! 8D and there are many, many more! It's quite fun to experiment...especially with eyes.

And yes the complementary screen makes it look extra colorful

indui In reply to QuietSpector [2013-09-11 21:38:24 +0000 UTC]

I used Photoshop

but it will also work in SAI and pretty much anything with the "Screen" layer option.
