hi do you have any tips for doing the skin tone?? I struggle with it a LOT and cannot keep up with a consistent style
If you're worried about a consistent style you could always make a skin base and tint it afterwards (so any additional hair would work ontop), but I don't really have any solid advice here (sometimes mine looks like absolute ass until I tint it)
Look at references or color palettes + try to shade it with the same colors as the hair is shaded + avoid monochromatic shading ,,
Will you make a visual tutorial on how to shade skin ^_^?
Probably not! I've been rarely logging on to PT at all and as most of my guides / ponies have been posted elsewhere I don't really have the motivation to ^_^;; I abide by similar methods as shown in my tutorial with hue shift with skin. I kind of just pick a light source and try and stick to that. ;;
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told
[Verse 1: KSI]
I'm in my prime, and this ain't even final form
They knocked me down, but still, my feet, they find the floor
I went from living rooms straight out to sold out tours
Life's a fight, but trust, I'm ready for the war
[Pre-Chorus: KSI]
Woah-oh-oh
This is how the story goes
Woah-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes
[Chorus: KSI]
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I'vе been told
[Verse 2: KSI]
From the screen to the ring, to the pеn, to the king
Where's my crown? That's my bling
Always drama when I ring
See, I believe that if I see it in my heart
Smash through the ceiling 'cause I'm reaching for the stars
[Pre-Chorus: KSI]
Woah-oh-oh
This is how the story goes
Woah-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes
[Chorus: KSI & Trippie Redd]
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze (Woo)
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told
[Verse 3: Trippie Redd, KSI, Trippie Redd & KSI]
Highway to heaven, I'm just cruisin' by my lone'
They cast me out, left me for dead, them people cold
My faith in God, mind in the sun, I'm 'bout to sow (Yeah)
My life is hard, I took the wheel, I cracked the code (Yeah-yeah, woah-oh-oh)
Ain't nobody gon' save you, man, this life will break you (Yeah, woah-oh-oh)
In the thick of it, this is how the story goes
[Chorus: KSI, Trippie Redd, KSI & Trippie Redd]
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told
I'm in the thick of it, everybody knows (Everybody knows)
They know me where it snows, I skied in and they froze (Yeah)
I don't know no nothin' 'bout no ice, I'm just cold
Forty somethin' milli' subs or so, I've been told (Ooh-ooh)
[Outro: KSI, KSI & Trippie Redd]
Woah-oh-oh (Nah-nah-nah-nah, ayy, ayy)
This is how the story goes (Nah, nah)
Woah-oh-oh
I guess this is how the story goes

hello! are you user @FUNK1EZ on pinterest? because they're claiming the rentry as their own and posting a bunch of ponies (that most likely aren't theirs?) TT sorry to bother!
hai can i ask how do i match the colours with my supposed to be dark tinted style?,, like id be using a colour that is fairly dark tinted to math the style but it just feels like it's not enough or it doesn't really makes it look appealing enough to me😭 and also,,,, how do u shade white?
genuinely if you add me on discord i will absolutely walk you through it ! i can answer here briefly but i can provide visual examples on there !! x.vk
With darker colour palettes I follow the same technique as with a lighter palette (using hue shifting), but up the saturation so you can make out the colors without it looking muddy / grey. I typically make it in a normal saturated style before using a tone curve to make the colors darker / add an overlay on top. I wouldn't say it's necessary to use saturated colors but I personally prefer it! You can always balance the values a little by using brighter colors in places (such as a brighter false light source) or like the pupils to suggest a glow :) Even with a dark tint it's good to maintain differing values even if it's not as dramatic + can help something look more appealing. If it helps, you can make a skin + to check if the colors work together, brighten the image on your phone/program to see if they blend when not under a dark tint :3. (again can provide visual examples for all)
For white hair I shade it with literally any other color lol ,, if you shade towards a specific color (e.g. the darker parts of the pony appear more blue), carry on with that. I typically don't choose pure white and instead a slightly tinted color (e.g. slightly yellow, and shade it like desaturated blonde hair ..) (desaturated yellow - orange - red - pink - purple - blue) but you can do whatever suits the skin the most. Essentially just shade it normally but move the slider around to different colors :3
hey! idk if you'll answer but for gradient maps,, what other sites could i use for it other than that site you recommended in your rentry? apparently it costs a membership to use it and i dont really wanna spend money on that, please have a nice day and im sorry for bothering you!!
clip studio has other options that aren't membership + a one time, but websites like pixlr have overlays i believe !! sorry for the late response ^^; you can look up gradient map websites online to see if any free drawing programs have them !! if anyone knows other websites feel free to drop them in the comments below here ig :p
if i colorpick some1 but change the tint from theirs and even make the pony is entirely diff from them, wd it still be considered copying 😅
IDK like.. if you're using completely different colour codes in different patterns it's obviously not going to look exact, but it's still a cheap way to do things i think + you shouldn't really rely on other's work to base your own off of + some people can tell if you just put a tint over their colouring if it's in the same placement 😭 esp if their colouring is quite abstract/unique to that pony
i would avoid doing it but?? i don't think it'd be.. exactly copying it?? it depends how much you're tinting it + changing it. like at the end of the day ur still being lazy so idk i can't recommend LOL.. if u can go through the effort of tinting something i would just come up with ur own arrangement atp ^^;..
it wouldn't be a colourpick but if it's the same character + you didn't change placements i'd probably say it's copieed.d.?? i mean by definition it is you literally just tinted them idk 😭😭 if it feels wrong 2 do i wouldn't do it + if you're only tinting them to get away w copying them thats kind of weirdd... idk 😭 u could always just ask 2 take inspo from their colouring lol
