Thinner lines, Animal Crossing progress
5 years ago
So I draw with pretty thick lines. It's a style that I like, and it works great for more cartoony stuff, which I like drawing too. But I wanna try drawing some stuff with thinner lines, too. I think it's a little harder because there's more room for error? It's hard to explain. I don't want to just have everything be thin, though, there will be thickness in appropriate places. Just the base thickness I think I will tone down. I think it's as simple as using a smaller pen brush. Right now I use 15px brush and draw on a 5000x5000px canvas (then crop down). So if I keep the canvas size but decrease to maybe 8px brush, it could look nicer for when you want thinner lines. I used to draw with 12px or 10px brush regularly, but I liked the thicker lines so I moved up to 15px. Then I'll move it down to 10px to do more fine lines. But I think with 8px as the 'base' you could then move up to 15px when you needed thicker lines instead of everything being with the 15px brush to start with. Basically like using a bigger variety of pens IRL traditionally. IRL when I draw with pens I have 3 widths and they are all very thin; for thicker lines i just kind of 'fill them in' like coloring.
Well, that's my rambling for the morning :)
My Animal Crossing game is going swimmingly, I have some really nice stuff going on. I'm working on a bamboo garden which you can see in this tweet: https://twitter.com/ThaaoHanshew/st.....80211700195329 (I post art stuff on my twitter, too, like WIPs and stuff, so feel free to follow, too, hehehe)
I finally got a 3-star island last night, and KK was invited to the island! I think this will unlock the ability to make paths which I am dying for. My island is going to come to life after this! Also I love KK so it will be fun to see him perform at the island.
Ooh, also Avery is moving in today~ I spent the other day 12 hours using Nook Miles Tickets over and over until I got a villager I wanted. I was determined to get a deep-voiced handsome guy, and on the 2nd to last attempt before I had to go to bed, I ran into Avery! He's my favorite eagle villager and one of my favorites in the game, and super hot too. So I was really happy with that. And now today I'll get to see him on my island for the first time~~~ Ah, I'm happy about it.
But first I gotta finish up drawing for today. ^^ I'm feeling motivated seeing some good arts on here and thinking "I will be able to do this eventually~" I think my lining is up to snuff, it's just a matter of learning colors and getting a bit better at proportions and posing and stuff. But I'm getting there, I'm getting there~~
How are you all doing today?
(Oh, I have to remember to call and cancel an appointment I have :| I hate using the phone though TnT)
