This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Nice job! What's your workflow like in regards to brushes? Do you start with a smooth brush or later smooth your strokes?

Thank you so much! :) I use free brushes for Krita made by FizzyFlower. I like to sketch first with a pencil brush, then i do the outline with an inkliner so that i can fill in the flat colors. Then i lock the layers and start working on shadows first, highlights last using a round brush that has like blurry edges, difficult to explain. The brush is called circle opacity in Krita. I usually blur any uneven edges in the final layer where everything is merged and add skin detail with a splatter brush. Sorry, for long reply. Hope i explain well enough. ^^"
