Composition for dummies part two:  The Dead Center Focal Point!**

I have found that storyboards that use a nice mixture of the “Rule of Thirds” and “Dead Center” focal points are the most visually pleasing.  Remember, SHOT VARIETY is good.

Next:  Screen direction and crossing the 180!

**Read part one here.

“I have dermatographia, a condition in which one’s immune system releases excessive amounts of histamine, causing capillaries to dilate and welts to appear (lasting about thirty minutes) when the hypersensitive skin’s surface is lightly scratched. This allows me to painlessly draw on my skin with just enough time to photograph the results. Even though I can direct this ephemeral response by drawing on it, the reaction is involuntary, much like the uncontrollable nature of a blush.”

I’ve been playing around with SAI a lot lately and I decided to make myself some brush textures to add to the default few. I figure I might as well share. So hopefully this is useful to someone, haha.

Download: Zip File

How to Use:

1. Close SAI and locate the folder where it is installed.
2. Extract the image files into the folder “brushtex”. Additionally, you can put them in “papertex” to use as paint effects.
3. Run “start-sai.exe” in the folder, which will load the newly extracted textures into SAI.

Actually, if you go here, they have way better instructions than mine. (●´▿｀●)

If you have interest in creating comics, this book will never be a wasted purchase. Not only does it have pages like this, but it has lots of character, story, and pacing information. 

All in all the best buy you could possibly make.

Felt like scanning a few pages from my Graphic-Sha book ‘Drawing Yaoi’ (lmao)

There’s actually a couple more clothing references in here like for shoes and gloves if anyone cares to see them (｡◕‿◕｡)

Experimenting in finding a technique that suits me when it comes to paint detailed stuff like foliage in nature.

Please note that the program I use is Corel Painter 12 - not SAI or Photoshop.

I noticed that if I reduced the resaturation of my favourite painting brush to 3-4%, it got more affected by the background color. This is something I appreciate, since I love the thought of giving a painting a certain color theme.

Please note that on the two last pictures, I used the same green colors on each background color. But depending on which background color I use, the “primary and secondary” colors appears as either cooler or warmer.

So, my final conclusion is that it’s ALWAYS a better idea to start with the darkest values, and then add the midtones/highlights afterwards.

The size, shape and length of the strokes will also affect the overall appearance of the foliage. I recommend people who are afraid of painting foliage backgrounds to observe photographs/real life study.

Ask yourself:

- How will a bush/tree/grass look like if I use small and round strokes? And how would long, thin strokes make it appear?

- How would it appear if I used a different color than green for the foliage?

- How many different designs of bushes, grass, plants and trees can I paint/draw without looking at a reference? 

- How can I paint a green forest without the risk to make it appear “monochrome”?

OK WHEW (btw read down to right. the little numbers indicate the order….if you can see them OTL)

Ok. So this is just a little thing for those who have trouble with all that lacy/ruffle business :D I’ve been practicing since middle school and actually never read any guides of anything on how to really get RUFFLE ruffles, which made me sad. Hopefully it’ll be useful to some folks.

(and sorry it’s so messy…..the back pages showed up ;____; )

And yeah I was going to mention this whole thing about skill and personal ambition but basically

don’t try and copy the stuff on here exactly. It’ll mess you up big time. Rather use it as a starting off point/something to help explain it, ok?

Anyways yeah, have fun drawing minna!!
