Some digital art tips thingie:

argodeon:

  • Draw the easy things first before the hard ones. Heavy pots should be in
    the end of your dishwashing list, otherwise you’d tire yourself out and end up
    not washing the spoon and forks for a while.
  • Strategize your workflow. Try to find ways to draw pretty stuff while
    excerting little effort at the same time.
  • This is very important. Don’t value your works by effort,
    instead, value them by beauty
    . Unless you’re into stuff that clearly
    requires a lot of effort. Stuff like hyperrealism can be cool as long as it
    doesn’t deteriorate your health.
  • Set your own hotkeys if you’re having too much trouble. Photoshop is pretty intuitive so
    if you’re not using it, look it up and try to copy them.

Here are my modified medibang hotkeys:
* Ctrl + Shift + E = Export
* Q = Fit to window size
* F = Clear
* Ctrl + F = Fill
* Ctrl + G = Add folder
* Ctrl + Shift + T = Mesh Transform
* S = Flip Horizontally
* A = Release Rotate/Flip

  • And also, remember to arrange the UI into your liking. Again, photoshop is
    pretty wicked so copy its layout as well if you’re not using it.
  • Don’t delete the stuff you hate, instead, archive them. You might be
    able to use them again in the future. That way, you won’t be wasting time in
    the first place! 
  • Set the settings of the folder you keep your projects into “Sort
    by:Date last saved”
  • Understand blending modes and use them wisely. And by understand I mean literally
    study how they work like the finals are closing in
    .
  • Flip your canvas. Even if you think its not necessary lol
  • Don’t be racist, homophobic, sexist, or hateful towards anyone harmless,
    in general
    . Otherwise you’re piece of shit who should die a slow and
    painful death, objectively speaking. uvu

I’m not telling anyone how to do stuff. This is just how I manage myself and you might want to try em out yourself. lmk if you have tips to share as well.

Enjoy! ❤

Hi!! I’m in love with your art! If it’s no bother, could you give some tips for choosing colors/palettes? I still struggle with color theory, and my pieces either end up looking too washed out or oversaturated. Your vibrant artwork truly is an inspiration :)

argodeon:

  • Be sure to use color/level sliders and tone curves whenever the colors don’t look good.
  • Avoid colors that blend too much or look too muddy with each other

(idk how to call it but apparently colors have their own ‘brightness’. Just looked this up and I think its a thing idk)

  • Try to avoid the portions of the color picker marked in red below as much as possible
