Have a tip for you: duplicate the layer, and erase the part you want on one layer, and erase the other part on the other layer. You will have one layer with what you want to warp, and one layer with what you want to keep.

loghtbing isnt a word anyways

The biggest problem with skin shading tutorials is that they teach you theory but never practice. No one teaches which brush to use, what's the opacity setting, how to avoid layering shadows with multiple strokes etc. I learned theory so many times i can give a shading lesson, but i still cant do it myself.

@KaizenKitty

3 жыл бұрын

to be fair this depends on the medium you're using. depends on the software (what brushes you have, what blending tools you have). as for the multiple strokes thing, one way i avoid this (in Medibang) is to draw with the (watercolor) brush at 100% opacity, and then to reduce the layer opacity until it 'looks good'.
