Thank you so much (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`) !

The way I paint is honestly a hodgepodge of methods. I’m in no way a professional painter or visual development artist - I work like this because it’s a nice change of pace from my usual stuff. But here’s a look into my process!

I work in glazes, then I build up to full opacity when I render. This way, whatever subject I’m painting melds with the background color. I prefer my pieces having low contrast and details. I save the most contrast and details for focal points and areas in direct light.

I’m also mindful of what direction my brush strokes are in as a way to sorta replicate traditional painting. It tends to do some heavy lifting in terms of indicating form. ((I love low effort things with big payoffs yippee!!))

It’s really noticeable in my last painting but I add these borders when the subject’s colors contrast too much with the background. By adding that transition border, it makes the subject feel less like a sticker and more incorporated into the background.

When painting portraits, my focal point will usually be the face and eyes. So I prioritize all the rendering and information into that area. Everything else outside that zone is kinda a mess of colors, shapes, and brushstrokes - but it’s ok because it’s not the priority. (Also the above pics are WIPS so if I finished them, it would be a bit more refined…)

Somethings I did in 2022 that kinda exemplifies my points. Although if I did these again, maybe I’d bump down the contrast and make it more focused??

Again, painting is not my main thing!! I just do it for fun and it’s meditative and when you're a storyboard artist, you miss colors…

I always strongly recommend studying contemporary and classical painters who have a stronger, articulated grasp on this matter. I’m just noodling around most of the times.

Lengthy post but hope this helps!!! 💕

What brushes do u use? Ur art is beautiful c:

Thank you!!

I cycle through a ton of brush variants in both Procreate and Sai. But I often use a chisel/square brush either with little pressure sensitivity - or lots of pressure sensitivity like a brush pen. That and brushes with a slight jitter or texture to them.

I actually have a Procreate brush pack on my ko-fi!

Ko-fi

Visit Corin's Ko-fi Shop!

I've opened a Ko-fi shop. Come take a look!

for the past few months, there were actually a handful of animatics I started but never had the confidence to finish. I still wanna complete an animatic/animation thing for this game eventually.. 🤷

I love how you always draw D'arce with the biggest bluest eyes ever ♡

ty!! I'm totally aware that in the game's art, her eyes are more greyish but I think the unsettling blue stare fit her disturbed aura

tosses some d'arce scribbles at yall

Getting a bit of traction on here, so probably should do some intro/FAQ stuff :^)

Who are you???

I'm Corin! or corn. I was born in 2001 (I don't want to keep updating this on my birthday haha).

Can I use your art as a profile pic or banner?

Sure! As long as you can credit me, then I'm cool with it :)

Can I repost your art outside of tumblr?

Again, give proper credit and include a link back here. And obviously don't make money off of it, edit out watermarks, use for AI, be terrible, etc.

Drawing programs?

Paint Tool Sai 2 and Procreate! Also Storyboard Pro 7 when I feel like it.

Tags?

Do you take requests?

My ask box is always open. Although there's no guarantee I'll get to your request!

Take commissions?

In the future. Not right now.

Do you sell prints, stickers, etc.?

Not currently. My sketches are done in small resolutions so they probably wouldn't look great when printed. Although if you really, REALLY want something as a print, I could dm you a .pdf??

Thanks for stopping by ;) <3

based off my last post, they’re actually having a sleepover
