[tutorial][nsfw] Layers Explained

Added 2022-07-29 21:38:37 +0000 UTC

Hey y'all!

Today I've got a simple tutorial/process piece for y'all as we finish up the month!

I've been doing digital art for over a decade now and a lot has changed in terms of technology, techniques and methodology. Everyone has a way of doing things that works best for them, and this is my typical layer stack when working on a simple lined/cel shaded piece. I try to keep everything editable, streamlined, simple and fast. The less time spent on the boring bits like flatting and shading, the more time left for the fun parts like sketching and final touches, right?

I use Clip Studio Paint for work and highly recommend it, but this method would work for other art programs as well. I hope this is helpful for y'all or at the very least interesting :D

August, here we come!

(oh and you can find the Color Holds tutorial here !)
