Would it be alright for me to reblog your art and tag it as kin...?

yeah i don’t mind! I’m fine with tags like kin, me, id, etc.

I hope you don't mind my asking, but how you choose your canvas sizes? I read in a previous ask that your default setting is 6000px x 9000px. Why that size? How do you scale it down for online posting, and what size brushes do you end up using? Ty!

6000 x 9000 is 20 x 30 inches at 300dpi. 30 inches is about the biggest i can make a file in photoshop without it getting laggy and misbehaving. Working on a bigger file is easier for me and it ends up making everything look cleaner. I’ve compared it before to drawing with a marker on a post-it vs drawing with the same marker on a big piece of poster board, you have more room to work with so you can be more precise. 

To scale it down i just go to image > image size… (in photoshop) and set the width to 800 pixels keeping the proportions locked. 

I don’t pay much attention to brush size. I think for sketching/lineart it’s around 30-40 pixels and for coloring I just change the size of the brush to whatever will wok best. 

a while back I promised I’d make a post about my coloring process. Twitter followers voted on opal as our model so here she is! (Click the images for captions)

I feel like my process is pretty basic but if even one person learns something then it’s worth it. 

edit: putting the captions under a read more too for people who can’t see them
