Coloring Coraline

So the first step is that I add the Lineart and the Painted Background, I place it around to where I think it looks correct. After that, I utilize Masks in order to make the image transparent except for the Lineart. 

I give it a solid color so that the image is easier to color, I use Clipping Ma...

Adding In Coraline

So when I add in a digital image, I still like to keep some of it traditional to blend my styles together well. In this instance, I first sketched out Coraline on a separate piece of paper roughly the size of what I made the tunnel. 

Then I created the lineart with my Tombow Fudenosuke Brush pen and Uni-Pin ink liner in 0.4.

OCT Art Journal Printable

So the printable is attached, all you have to do is print it out, the preview image is just a sneak peak of the full thing <3 

Also I haven't done a printable in a long time and I wasn't able to do it at the beginning of the month so this is kind of a journal/art journal companion more so than a planner type of deal.

Careful What You Pack

here's a little behind the scenes for my upcoming Coraline illustration that I'm making-- I wanted to do something from one of my favorite spooky time movies of ALL time

this is a little weird anecdote but I once got really sad because I thought I couldn't look pretty during fall because I had blue hair and then my mom pointed out Coraline to me and I was like "oh duh, I look cute as hell" 

ANYWAYS... about this piece: 

so obviously this is the tunnel, I plan to ad...

DOGS (the complete set)

Now the Dogs series is done, I’ve figured out the way I personally like to stylize dogs and familiarized myself with the various shapes and ways dogs can be so I think I’m confident in designing dog characters now. This is also going in my portfolio for my character design work.

Dogs!

Been doing some dog explorations, this is the first of what I’m looking to make a 3 part series in dog breed cartoons. I also included my sketch version as a behind the scenes process, I’m looking to put these dogs in my portfolio.


With character design it’s good to do a lot of different things, I always know that intrinsically and I can do it when prompted but I just realized I didn’t have any in my portfolio which showed this skill of mine so I’ve been aiming to ...

Cat Girl (Tabby)

This is a design turn around and color palette test for a character design, I want to practice getting into the habit of doing multiple color tests based on my contrast-based greytone designs. I’m getting also into the habit of being more professional with my character designs in general. I think I like the first palette best, it’s very Halloweeny, but it’s also the closest to my contrast design, not that the color tests always are in a professional setting but still. My second favorite...
