Happy Birthday, ‘Monji!

Hey, hope you're having a great day!

Just wanted to say that I LOVE how you use colors in your work, it's just so pretty, sometimes vibrant, sometimes dark, the ones where you use one color but different shades and saturation are so beautiful!

Maybe you can give some advice how to improve in this area? Idk recommend some resources that helped you or exercises? Little tricks or your general thought process when coloring your art? Teach me sensei 🙏

Whenever you see a drawing with a color palette that you like try to analyse it. You can break it apart and see what colors were used and how they were used.

Hope this helps!

The bracket-ed parts are parts I’m not entirely sure of, or sound effects or more notes that I felt was needed to be inserted- feel free to ignore them! Don’t treat this as a 100% translation please, though I’ve tried my best XD Some parts are spoken very quickly, especially when Kamamoto & Kusanagi started throwing out all the dishes’ or items’ names.. So yes, please enjoy!

Quick little video tutorial! This is a method I use to block in shapes when I’m fighting the urge to polish my lineart at an early stage, especially in rough concept art that doesn’t actually need polished lineart.

I group two layers in photoshop—a rough sketch, and a flat color—and then carve out the negative space by painting into a mask on the group, instead of filling in the positive shapes. From there I can start painting and adding shading into that group, knowing that I’ve already locked down a good initial silhouette for the object/character:

It feels like oil painting, and I end up finding silhouettes/shapes in a way I wouldn’t if I was obsessively cleaning up the linework first. Digital art has a tendency to veer towards cleanliness/polish, so I love finding little opportunities for happy accidents and a bit of mess!

I used it on my unicorn piece last month, for instance, which I think would have lost a lot of its dynamism and charm if I had worried too much about doing a full ink pass:

Hope this is at all helpful!  It’s not a method I use 100% of the time, but it really helps move my process along when I do need it 👍🏼
