A Quick Grass Tutorial

a quick grass tutorial

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad

1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.

I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.

2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.

3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.

4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.

5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.

6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.

7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.

and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.

*SIGH*

ever wondered if he ever takes just a few moments to himself alone, submerged in water, drowning out the whole world and it’s noisy chaos, just trying to BE…….

I was listening to “Wandering in the Dark” by Annaca and man……right in the feels

I decided not to tag this as shadowpeach cuz this doesn’t have much to do with it, but it can certainly be implied 👀

I've waited 5 months to read this chapter as I listen to THIS song.

Alright folks time to bet how many months The ChildTM will take to cook. And about the pool I made: fuck democracy I guess bc I've been told that baby showers in China are AFTER the baby is born so you all will have to wait.

Anyone remember that Monster Falls AU? I vaguely do.

So I figured let’s throw in some Mothman!Dib in the mix because that’s apparently a thing too right?

An irken that was not able to became an invader and to become one she tried to take invader zim’s mission so she could show the tallest she was capable of being one.

She can be see as a serious and bad girl at first, but when you get to know her you realize she is kind of clumsy on whatever she does. On other hand she also tends to act kind of “tsundere” on some situations.

She inflirtras between the human and somehow she manages to be friends with Dib, who made her fear him with time after seeing all the bad things he did to Zim. In the end, terrified of being discovered she tried running away. However Dib already knew about Tak’s disguise and tried stopping her just to have another alien experiment. Luckily Tak was able to escape leaving her ship on Dib’s hands who was going to use that ship to torment invader zim, not only on Earth, on other planets too. [The Tak ship, the same way as her owner, is scared of Dib, doing all he says with the fear of being destroyed by him].
