Welcome back to CLGTart. It's nice to see you guys again
I got a busy last few days, so I didn't make any videos and
I still taking the requests, if you have any question just put in the comment below
And I will read all of them, so I will take note and film it whenever I have time
Okay
So this video is gonna be a tutorial about how to blending in Fire Alpaca
I didn't use about Alpaca before. Yeah, it's kinda hard to name it
I prefer using Medibang more because
In Medibang they have the cloud with a lot of brushes and the material yeah.
And Fire Alpaca,
You can add brush in bitmap or script. And you can create a new brush here by changing the setting
Here is example
You will click to the button to create new brush, then choose type show in the box
If you want to make a blending brush, I recommend the Type change to Watercolor for the settings.
Then fix the number of the settings until you satisfy with the result
The same as Medibang, Fire Alpaca don't have the blending brush (the Blur tool work too bad)
They all are brush have color not transparent brush :( What you doing is you trying to make the color mix together with those brushes
Yeah, it's not easy, but I will show your the best way I can do with their brushes
Here is the Watercolor default brush, I changing a little bit in the settings
You can copy the setting on the screen
And we have Blur brush. I think the Blur brush here works better than Medibang Blur brush.
Because the Blur intensity here works stronger than Medibang
I have the Flat brush with the settings on the screen right now
You can drag the button to change the number of each option
And here is my custom brush I just created
The name still No name because I just made it few minutes ago
Type: Watercolor, Ease of Mixing colors: 89 (for color blend together), Load color: 0
Because I don't want the colors appear much when I use it for blending.
I just introduced 4 brushes I will use in this tutorial
Watercolor for base color because I want the soft look
Flat brush will use for some parts I want have sharp edge
Blur brush will use in place I want it looks blur/more soft or maybe I will switch to Airbrush If it needed
However, I don't prefer Airbrush so maybe I won't use it.
And my Noname brush for blending
I will use this character again for example in this tutorial because you know I just
changing my computer and all of my works is gone and
And we will back with the Layer 7 - base color layer of the skin
Now I will create new layer, it's layer 25
Then choose clipping
To seperate the shadow and the base color for not regret after making a mess :D And clipping will help you color in base color field only, not going outside
Now pick watercolor brush
And pick base color of the shadow
The color looks too strong right?
Because I changing the settings a little bit so you can feel it blends a little bit and fade/soft at the edge
How to blending?
The same as Medibang, if you have enough skill, you can do like this
Use Watercolor brush, pick the skin base color (yellow one in this video) then drag the brush from outside to inside the shadow color
It will be the best if you have Wacom, do it gently
Drag it really lightly until you feel it finally blend together
Incase you are just beginner and thinks the technique is too hard for you
Use the new brush I just created
Then do the same as I did before, pick base skin color then drag from outside to inside the shadow color
You may want to decrease the brush size
(just mumble on my own, think the color is too light to show you guys the final look so use the flat brush to add more color)
And here is the result, you can use watercolor/flat brush to add more color as I did before for final touch.
If you think this one is still not the result you are looking for, you can pick White color
And continue to drag the brush we did before. Now you can see the color turns lighter
here like this
Remember just drag the brush gently, not paint around
To blend them, you should be patient, drag brush for a single stroke from Outside to Inside
And it will create a blending look for this one, okay
If you think you paint/blend them around too much, you should erase them with the Transparent color box instead of the Eraser
The Transparent color box will let you use the brush as the Eraser but with Brush effect
Then erase from out side to inside again to reduce the blending/painting area
That's the way I blending in both Fire Alpace and Medibang
And in case that you want to make it look blurry, not so soft not too sharp.
You can use the Blur tool. Remember to switch back to the color box (or it will work as an Eraser)
You will drag around place you want blur. Incase it's not give a good result, you can change the Blur Intensity to higher number in settings
That's the result of Blur tool.
To show you the better explanation, I will do the blending in another file
So first I will have the shadow color
Then I pick the base color with Watercolor brush
When you drag from outside to inside, you can see the middle part is where 2 colors mix together. That's how we make the blending effect
But with the new brush I created, it will work more like a blending tool because the load color is too low
You need to do more than 1 stroke and see how the result we get, it looks naturally and softer
And incase I use the White color, you can see the color turns lighter, softer.
Like this and now if you want to make it more blurry
Use the Blur tool
If the blur intensity is too low, the result maybe not clearly.
You have to zoom in to see if it's actually have any changes. In that case, you want it look stronger, increase the Blur intensity to higher number
Okay, so that is how I do it.
But you maybe can find out another way for blending in Fire Alpaca and Medibang.
Or maybe new brush settings, just search around if you not really happy with my way :D
Now I will continue to finish the shadow blending with my new brush
I didn't work in Fire Alpaca before so I want to try it :D
That's all, thank you for watching. See you next timeeeee!
