Could you elaborate more on colouring the eyes? Because I am a bit confused about the values and stuff.

Hello! I would like to know, do you use airbrush for the shading of the iris, and then blur it? I'm trying to find easier ways, since I usually draw on Medibang. Also, if you might have anymore helpful tips, would you mind telling them, please? Thank you! Your art is amazing, by the way.

Hi man!

I sometimes use airbrush, and sometimes just draw a dark block where the shadow is, then blur it. Either works for making a gradient. 

I'm not sure what other tips you are looking for, but I suppose it is nice to look at many different artists' styles, to get an idea how others draw eyes. It also helps to look at actual eyes and draw those, then maybe try to see how you'd draw them in your own style.

Let me know if you have anymore questions man!

TropiCat212 [2017-01-26 12:18:20 +0000 UTC]

This is awesome! I have been wondering what brushes you use for Photoshop, because I don't have SAI (even though I really want it) and have seen the drawings where you drew everything on Photoshop. The brushes are amazing, and I was curious as to what ones you use and if you could let us download the brushes in an ABR file.
Thank you!

Eh... I'll throw a Sans in there just because. XD I feel like that was a small thought at the back of your mind.

But this was really helpful for me, especially 'drawing the emotions' part. I actually struggle with showing the lines under sad eyes because after I draw them, the character just looks old.

PencilFlower [2017-01-26 00:19:08 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry to bug you, but what settings do you use to line? I always get the pixel-y line and it doesn't look smooth. Thanks if you answer!

Bigger canvases have smoother lines. Try a big canvas and see if that helps
