Twitch Chat Voted For 'jealous Lamb' In Last Night's Art Stream Thus This Comic

Meow meow meow? Meow meow meow meow meow. Meow meow. Meow!

He is lost in the sauce.

Love your art! What's your shading process / any tips? I really like how vibrant it is

Thank you!! also sorry this is a long post

I usually start painting the character after I already have a background, super sketchy or with a placeholder (a photo usually), just so i know what colors to use

I fill the character with a color from the BG or a similar color and use the multiply blending mode

then i paint the lights on another layer with the "add glow" blending mode (i also pick the color depending on the bg).

I add another multiply layer for anything that needs to be darker, like stuff under the characters clothes

I paint a line with a saturated color between the lights and shadows, for example i added a bright red for the cape and light purple for their skin (? this is subsurface scattering, it doesnt happen on every surface but i like how it looks so i use it on everything lol.

Then i paint the lineart a similar color to each part of the character or you can paint it all red and use multiply

that's basically it

some tips (these are just things that work for me)

I think is better to paint the lights, not the shadows. it helps to see the shapes of the thing/character you're drawing better (its what i did with lambert ⬆️)

Draw backgrounds, i think it makes every drawing look more interesting and its easier to decide the lighting for the character, if you dont want to draw anything detailed you can paint something simple and blur it

i really recommend to start with a thumbnail, experiment with colors, perspective, composition, etc. before actually starting the drawing thumbnails of this post

this tip is something that everyone has heard before but use references, real life references like photographs for perspective and lighting, 3d models for anatomy and perspective, paintings to see how other artists stylize objects, bgs or characters. use references for everything

this tip is super important for me: check the values of your drawing, (lower the saturation, with the lineart hidden) if it isnt readable/ doesnt look good in black and white it most likely wont look good with colors (this depends on artstyle and personal preference tho)

Bonus:

Part 1

Finally getting the recognition he deserves 😌

sooo I guess I have a narinder fic writer joke au now lmao, I’m gonna call this narific au for funsies

I have a cotl art request >:]

Narinder struggling while licking the lamb clean and lamb just being the dog that's happy to be with their owner

UUUGHHH!! IDK IF I GOT THIS RIGHT!!> but here!! I love them

@the-one-who-lambs GENIUS

so i recently just got my cult of the lamb plushies ( devolver digital edition very cool ) and

good heavens

lambert are you alright

Harilamb stuff + headcanon of the Red Crown

Just an answer abt what Narinder would like to do in the cult (this question is not from tumblr)

I don't know if y'all noticed, but Kallamar always is the one to see Narinder stealing glances to The Lamb in some of my drawings. He was the first to know about how the cat felt about lamb- So it makes sense he would know when something was wrong.

He's a coward, but still wanted to find out what was wrong with his brother he once feared.

Narinder's grief from being betrayed by his siblings made him violently angry. That's what Kallamar is used to. Not the silent lamenting. It... concerns him.

This would be kind of a prequel to my last comic...? It's fine I'm working on a sequel rn.

do you have a tutorial for the crowns with the following eyes? They look awesome! :D

It's pretty easy to make if you have the materials tbh! :D

Here's what the inside of the crown looks like for better understanding:

Materials used:

• 4mm thick EVA foam for the crown base

• 4mm LED foam, this is the white foam that lets light pass through! It's glued into the base crown to make an arch over the eye socket!

• Magnets - this makes the iris exchangable, just glued on the iris and put the other magnet on the other side of the foam, it holds by itsself

• LED lights that work with battery and are controlled by remote, they're from Amazon and just glued into the back.

That's basically it! :D

i think he's gotta crush on them or smth idk you didnt hear it from me (happy valentine's day)

Leshy being an annoying little crap is my favourite hc
