1. First we draw a white
dress, (the color on the
fabric in this step has
no effect on the material
we make in the later
stage. Even black and
white is fine)
2. Next we use to adjust the curve
to look like the image on
the right.
3. At this time, we get
the picture on the right,
which is very close to
the effect we want.
4. Next, we only need to
remove the parts we don't want
in the professional version,
and a laser material with rich
colors is made.
(The color change obtained by this method
is rich and reasonable because
it is arranged according to the brightness)
This is a relatively simple and
fast method, but the application of
this method is not limited to this

> This many layer just for skintones

I mean ylu definitely could just mix the shading layer with the base color if all you're doing is just adding airbrushes on normal layer mode. Highlights, just use bright white. Same deal with ambient occlusion, just use a smaller sized airbrush. Why I'm commenting this is because too many layers are a pain in the ass and will just slow down my workflow. Just lock the transparency for the base skin layer and apply airbrushes accordingly.

Simplifying hair into shapes and areas on the head to easily map out its movements before adding detail. It's just an example and useless without explanation.

Which part do you find the most difficult? The theoretical concepts of perspective or just their practical application into the act of drawing?

>>6382767
Krenz cushart. Pic related is an accurate representation of the angled boxes, I THINK. Lots of guides including his explanation give you an approximation that is slightly wrong, which is a huge problem for beginners who are going to even further distort the angles. Anyway try to memorise it. I'm currently trying myself but I'm lazy and a brainlet.

it's just rotations

[Anonymous No.6383096]

>>6382924
Yeah sorry I assumed people would Google krenz cushart cubes.

He presents 4 predefined angles to rotate boxes with which are 0° , 22.5° , 45° and 67.5°. These angles align on 4 horizontal and diagonal division on an imaginary grid like in pic related.

Please note that proportions created using this grid are WRONG! The one posted above with asian text is accurate though.

What's the point? It's an easy system to draw cubes in perspective which you then can use to construct your scene or character with more accurate proportions.

[Anonymous No.6383099]

>>6383096
Forgot pic. Again this one has wrong proportions but it's a good to get the idea across.

[Anonymous No.6383106]

>>6383099
Or maybe they aren't that wrong. Even Krenz used this method in his tutorial. Just play around with it to understand it better. Just keep in mind that these approximation are slightly off.

[Anonymous No.6383120]

>>6383096
Its important to note that despite the cube being rotated, when its at those 4 angles they still cover the same surface area when projected onto a 2d surface.
This makes it easier to keep everything in proportion when you are using it as a reference for size.

how many thousands of hours of practice do you think they have? it's not going to happen overnight, in fact it'll probably happen so gradually that you won't notice unless you're directly comparing your newest pieces with your first. and it certainly won't happen if you don't start drawing.

I know but I also believe there's a right and wrong way to practice. I think my curves and waves are too simplistic looking, and that's never going to change unless I work on that.

that comic is fucking stupid
>how can i pet the dog
>dude just pet the dog
>ok but how
>just pet it
how about you simply explain "put your hand on it and move it softly" ?
people who use this as an argument for "dude just draw" to ridicule people who ask questions are retards

>just breath
But like how though? Do I inhale as deeply as I can with each breath or do I take short ones? I'm never satisfied with any breath that I take. Why cant anyone explain how to breathe properly...

This is a circumstance where quality matters. Even with lifting weights, there is clearly a matter of bad form where you will receive poor results if you "just lift"

I think it's weirdly labeled.
>Blue ("Shadow Edge") is cast shadows
>Red ("Boundary line between light and shadow") is ambient occlusion.
Now that I look at it again, I think it's a strange translation. "Boundary line between light and shadow" is a very long way of saying "penumbra"

This is the same concept in different verbiage. The shadow shape on a complex object is often a combination of form shadow and cast shadow edges. A form shadow is created by surfaces turning away from the light. The cast shadow is the shadow cast on a surface by another. Generally speaking and in particular regard to figure painting, the form shadow edge is almost always softer than the cast shadow edge. So if you want to make your shadow shapes look realistic, you need to include these variances.
