6 - highlights
i've only just really learnt how to do this lmao, but i make a new transparent layer and turn it to 'add' or 'add - glow', and then use the default soft airbrush to add some soft highlights, which sorta makes the image have a little more depth?
5 - shading
to do shading, i'll put a new layer in a solid colour overtop of everything else, pink is my fav. i then add shadows in a darker pink, and then turn that layer into an overlay + turn transparency down. normally i'll add a transparent solid blue overlay as well
4 - colouring
i'll make the base white the colour most used on the oc, and then using the clip to layer below i can just add layers for new colours and they won't go beyond my base colour layer. i use the default turnip pen at various sizes for colours + markings
attempt at an icon for myself? we'll see if i still like it or not in the morning
