Transcripts for my messy handwriting if it's too small/too messy/all of the above:
Top left:
Super fast sketchy!
- 2 brushes
- rough pen (can also use fineliner)
- wet brushes
- 2 layers
- ~15-30min
When I really want to colour the sketchy but don't want to spend a lot of time, wet brush blends nice and quick
Top right:
Sketchy
- 2 brushes
- rough pen (can also use gpen or fineliner and can do nice lines)
- 4b pencil
- 2 layers
- 1-2hrs maybe
Workable tradeoff with nice and fast
Bottom left:
Hybrid
- 2 brushes
- gpen (can also use rough ink or there's another one I can't remember right now)
- 4b pencil
- 2 layers
- hours
Weird not fully developed hybrid of sketch and render styles
Bottom right:
Render
- brushes depend on textures
- fineliner (outline hidden)
- 4b pencil
- marker chisel
- marker detail
- 3 different hair strand brushes
- a million or so layers
- days, weeks, worst case scenario months 💀
Never matches what's in my head but I try
I was going to export this out and pretend that it was some kind of proper sketch dumpy thing but then when I sent a wip to sibling dearest, thought it would be much funnier to do it this way instead.
This came about shortly after finishing the last silly season pic when I had another one of my brilliant time-wasting ideas which Sprat of course enthusiastically encouraged.

it's nearly 2pm and i have spent all my waking hours pretty much setting up the obsidian vault for this year and doing some hive stuff -_-
very slowly i might add coz i'm tired
and i have this sudden completely random urge to do samples of all my colouring styles on one drawing with something small (probably a headshot of Red seeing as i'm staring at him right now)
and by "all" it will be "not quite all" because for 1-2 of the colouring styles i have a neat lineart version and other than being slightly neater and more careful they're basically the sameDarqx
do it
the timestamp on the image says "yesterday" but it was a screenie taken on Jan 2
This has actually been finished for a few days but I decided to "just try to fix up a few things" on the less-glorified blogsite before posting it and three days later it should look slightly better on small screens, organised the art stuff in the back end to make it easier for me to find things if I needed to and I still have to figure out a commenting system but that's once more a later problem as it looks pretty intense and this thing finally got posted.
This post also appears on my blog.
Want a cameo character? If you interact frequently with me here (either on my posts or your posts or better yet both!) or on one of the linked Discord channels, all you have to do is let me know and tell me what you'd like :) Everything you need to know is (probably) here and if it isn't just ask (sorry the link goes offsite to my blog where the layout is how I want rather than the one here which is only here because the original one was).
Thanks for looking! _
