Tut: Marble Pattern (Digital or Traditional Media)
I made a little tutorial for how I made the marble-like pattern on the sleeves in my "ChongZi and Mu Yu" chibi. MEDIA: Both digital and traditional. For digital, I made this with Gimp (but works for all software) and a Wacom tablet, using the hard round brush set to vary size and opacity with pen pressure, with a base opacity of 85+% For traditional, you can use this method for graphite (additional, graphite-only notes marked with " ") as well as for wet media ("🎨") - I have experience with watercolor and acrylic, so I'm approaching this from that mindset for the latter. TUTORIAL: STEP 1 Paint and shade the thing on which you'll be doing the marble pattern. 🎨 - For watercolor, wait for the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step; that's at least 24hrs, even if it will seem dry before - you want the paint to set completely to avoid it being picked back up with water. For acrylics, you can experiment using wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry for different effects.
