hmm are you asking if I choose my color palette before I start drawing? Because no I don’t. I should, because the rare times that I have it makes everything a lot easier and the end result is always nice. But I just pick colors as I go.
As for overlays, I used to overuse them a lot because it was the only way I knew how to color. Recently though I’ve barely used any sort of color adjustment layers at all. (with the exception of multiply for shadows) Not because I think it’s a bad way to work, but because I’ve learned what they do and it’s easier now for me to just color that way myself. I feel like it gives me more control that way and the end result is more solid because of it. Now overlays are something I save for little finishing touches at the end of a drawing as a special effect instead of the entire basis of how i work.

No I’ve never been, I’ve never been free [x]
I have a society 6 store but there’s nothing on it currently. I’d like to sell prints again in the future but right now it really just feels like more trouble than it’s worth.
I’m currently open for commissions though [x]

“How do you think the male audience of Steven Universe feels? Like all…”
I think that is kind of a stereotype to think that because there are no muscle bound male gems running around that there are no male role models or relatable characters in steven universe. steven, Lars, raynaldo and Greg are all very relatable.
This is true. Any time i see someone complain about the lack of male characters in su they always act like steven is literally the only male character in the whole show. Once I actually tried doing a mental count of recurring characters in the show and I’m sure I was off a bit but the number of male characters vs. female/female coded characters was almost equal.
Wasn’t there a study done that showed that men in a discussion felt like women dominated the conversation if they spoke only 30% of the time? I think about this a lot.
I almost hope this is just text post bait and not entirely serious. I’m just gonna parrot what the crew has said and say that if any boys feel like there aren’t enough male characters in su then they can go watch the Avengers.
How do I think the male audience feels? How do you think female audiences of 95% of all other media feel when the entire main cast is composed of male characters with maybe one decently written female character? It’s not “a shame” that su is more female oriented. It’s absolutely wonderful and i love it. I LOVE IT.
When it comes to gemsonas though, have fun and do what you want. They’re supposed to be you as a gem right? So why wouldn’t they identify as male if you identify as male? The crew has already said that gems are free to identify as they wish (it’s just that in canon Steven is the first to use male pronouns.) No one who would send you hate about it is in the right. (there’s honestly no reason to send hate ever) Also, it’s not true that no one would make a male gemsona, I have seen LOTS, you’re not being left out.

guys, please, PLEASE if you reblog a video that has a lot of flashing lights or colors put some sort of warning in your tags or something for any migraine or seizure prone people who may be following you. it’s like the photosensitive equivalent of a jumpscare. Any sort of heads up is greatly appreciated.

It’s no problem! Lately I’ve been using the gouache brush from this set for sketching. And other than that I don’t use much special. Mostly just photoshop’s default hard round and soft round brushes. (I adjust the settings and turn shape dynamics and transfer on and off as I go)
Also, if your lines aren’t looking clean it might be because you’re working too small. The bigger your file, the cleaner everything will look when it’s scaled down.
