BABE WAKE UP KUROSHIRO POSTED A NEW SPEEDPAINT

[@hirahiro2331]

Sometimes I forget there are tools to make it easier…

[@kurohshiro]

Yeah right! And I bet there would be even more I don't even know about their existence lol but I guess it's a matter of making it flow into your natural work flow so that it doesn't feel forced or tedious :)

WHAT TOOLS...

[@hirahiro2331]

@@offseasonloner there’s this thing on clip studio…damn I don’t know the name of it…

I would LOVE a full tutorial about layers. How many layers you use and for which parts, and how you manage so many layers? It is one of my biggest struggles in digital art and I would love to know how you deal with them.

i definitely like the process of colouring more than lineart (i still suck tho 😭) but watching other artists doing the whole process shows me how much patience and skill goes into everything!

[@kurohshiro]

Ahh I understand this. I actually like lineart more since colouring things makes me realise all the mistakes I made in proportions or stuff ^^'

This video literally just made my day, gave me the motivation to pick up drawing again and kept me saving my stellar jades.

Gosh thanks what a nice thing to hear! Glad I could motivate you. I actually will make some dinner and go back to drawing as well ^^

[@PositiveVibes-fb7lj]

The time and effort you put in your videos is crazyyy! Replying to every single comment is insane , I seriously envy you, keep up the hard work! Thanks for that! I’ve got a question; how did you start learning anatomy/perspective, were there any classes you took? I wish you luck on your Genshin/Honakai pulls! 🌠🌟

[@kurohshiro]

Aw you've noticed. Thank you so much :) for me the best way to understand anatomy was to see how others study and simplify the human body. Then I tried to recreate it and use it for my own process. When I think it suits my style of working I added this new knowledge to my tool kit and if it doesnt I tried to find other ways simplification. For perspective..that's still a bit wonky but I guess it's the same method. Hope this helps! Also sadly I don't play HSR or GI anymore. My storage is full and on my drive are only 9 GB left 😅

[@PositiveVibes-fb7lj]

@@kurohshiro Thanks! I feel you, they take up so many GB..

[@dakitaki6471]

I usually see your streams and holly crap, the masterpieces you make they make no sense there are awesome. How long do u take to learn to render like that?

OMG THIS IS LITERALLY A MASTERPIECE ! UR SO GOOD AT ART

[@GuranPurin]

I liked both versions of the final artwork! I'm curious if you use any blend modes like Overlays or Glow Dodge for the shiny metal parts? Is it just freehand? :O Because it looks so shiny with just natural painting!

[@kurohshiro]

Thanks for letting me know! The metal is drawn without any blending modes. Just harsh contrasts are reason for the metallic look :)

[@SilentLiberta]

you are such a good artist. i love it that you share your process with us!

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! Hope it's somewhat useful ^^

[@WhiteFox508]

That’s a lot of details Σ（・□・；） and a full on rendered bg, damn I like how you made the bg blue, it makes the red highlights on his design stand out ahaha.. I really admire the way you handled all those details, seriously. I would’ve left such a piece on hold for the next 2 years lol, beautiful art as per always! The way you painted the windows on the buildings is such a smart move, I’m pretty sure I would have painted each one individually ahaha, I’ll be sure to take reference next time I’m drawing buildings! Oh and I think you maybe should’ve painted the background first so you know which colour will come from which direction especially with so many metallic parts :D Also I see you’re doing rough shading on the individual base layers instead of copy pasting?

[@kurohshiro]

Thanks for your indepth comment! The way to paint windows is just lazy but effective haha and since I got the perspective rulers in place I used them for the windows as well ^^ I really should have made a more careful rough painting first to get all the lights and colours correct but since I ended up with the red sky for the final version this wouldn't have been possible with planning it beforehand. And yes, I didn't do a general rough colour layer. Honestly idk why I didn't...maybe the whole project was a complete new approach with including a bg from the very beginning so that I changed my work flow as well 😅

[@crusader_gaming8273]

How do you come up with unique poses?

[@Aperson-d1u]

Great illustration! Love you drawing skills (I'm really hungry so I ate him😋)

[@nthewind]

How long does it take you to complete a full piece like this? How much time do you generally spend in specific areas when drawing, (sketching, and rendering for example) I feel like for me it all takes an awful amount of time digitally but knowing art, it doesn't appear at the snap of fingers

[@kurohshiro]

Ah I am feeing this. The sketch is the fastest. But only the initial rough sketch. The following cleaner sketches take a day full of work. Only then I am moving on to the lineart which is tedious but thanks to a clean sketch just autopilot. Usually a day. And then rendering. Rough colours on one layer are done in 1h but the refinement takes a week at least. This drawing overall took me 30 to 40h

[@RiversNyx]

Thank you for this video, being able to watch your process really helps. I've been using your process videos to improve, so I really appreciate them!!

hello, i want to draw anime characters too. How did you learn anatomy, can you make a tutorial on how to study? I've been practicing body parts individually from references, doing gesture drawing and trying to construct the body, do I just keep doing this? Will I eventually learn anatomy if I keep doing this? Other than gesture drawing I've been doing these other practices for long. How long did it take you?

Did you change your lineart brush? Looks like this one has a bit of grain compared to the one a few months back. Your Boothill looks great!

[@kurohshiro]

Yes you're absolutely right about it. I like the new brush but I use it because my own brush isn't publicly available anymore and I want to use brushes I can share with you. I am actually surprised you've noticed this subtle difference :)

[@ADarkrei_LEGIT]

@@kurohshiro oh that's unfortunate :( I only really noticed the difference in the lineart stage, it's hard to tell in the finished artwork. I think you make both look good! The bit of grain is actually meshing well with the cool/rough characters you are drawing, but like you said it's very subtle. Thank you for answering :)

At 5:48 you can try to render 2 versions of that frame in Eeve and Workbench, workbench use the setting: lighting-flat, color-whatever you want. Throw them into your CSP on top of each other. Select the color area of the workbench and you have a perfection selection area of the eeve render 🙏

How do you think of which poses/perspective/angle is best to draw 😢😢 I struggle with that so much I can’t think of a Pose and my characters look boring

[@kurohshiro]

Hey! Here it was helpful to know that I had to draw a full body and since his expression is very recognisable I wanted to focus on the head. So generally it always depends on the character and their personality. Based on that I have a vague pose in mind and then I look for references or inspiring photos on Pinterest to see what and how I could draw it. Hope this helps a little bit :)

Hello! May I ask where you get your references? When I draw I try looking for references but sometimes they are so hyper specific that I can't find any.

[@kurohshiro]

Hey! I made a video about using references :) but generally speaking I am collecting a bunch of refs on Pinterest and when I need them I don't have to look for new ones. I just expand the reference by looking for specific parts like hands, other arm positions or things like that. And therefore I usually type that into the search bar. Like "male back" or "holding teacup"

Ah that's actually a mysterious thing I am still trying to understand. It looks easier than it is when I watch speedpaints. I think seeing how other people simplify complex shapes is very useful. Find a way which suits your work flow. Like some people simplify with boxes, some with gesture lines etc. Hope that helps :)

[@timothylipingkam8493]

[@Nijika17]

How many layers did you make? I was only able to make 20 layers, which alone made me dizzy lol 😂😂

[@kurohshiro]

I am always making new layers when I don't want to ruin the progress I did on the layers beneath or when I want to lock them and work clean. So I can say how many I make since I am merching them in the process. I don't want to get overwhelmed by managing the amount and making my laptop suffer haha

[@pringrings22]

What is that brush you used to first draw out out the belt buckle. It creates an outline on the outside of penstrokes even if they overlap. I've seen some artists use it for a while now but I don't know the name... 3:34 to 4:06

[@kurohshiro]

Hey. I mentioned that this is clip studios outline function. It's like a layer mode you can apply to any layer at any stage. So the brush I use doesn't matter since it works with all :) hope this helps.
