EASY SMUDGE TUTORIAL FOR LEARNERS
I was stumbling on the internet and I came across this eye image. Then, I made the decision to work on it, tho it's quite a time a make cartoon pictures using Autodesk sketchbook.
TOOLS
π***Smudge round bristle brush
πBoth hard and soft Hir brush
πBoth hard and soft Eraser
πpen (medium tip maker)
π Dotted one (for the glitters)***
Firstly, I was discouraged to embark on the project because of my phone's screen, but I locked up and summon courage then I later find it interesting and forget about all the obstacles.
PROCESS
***First on snapped app;***
Import the image, go to details, make the structure +58 and the sharpening +100
Click on done and go to drama, filter strength should be +21 range.
Second on Autodesk Sketchbook;
First, import an image as our reference. Adjust the size to fit our canvas. duplicated the image for comparism and pick smudge round brush for smudging.
Then, set the size of the brush around 50% and the flow, around 1-3%.
Start smudging the eyes brow and reduce the size of the brush while smudging the lashes. Move to eye, smudge evenly and then proceed to the skin, then smudge the rest. Switch now to pencil brush for the details.
You can simply arrange your layers in your suitable ways.
Finally, I had to improvise a simple way to make the painting done ASAP.
I blended it with 4 duplicated layers, which are;
π Colour
π Soft light
π Multiply
π Colour
I hope you gain a little idea from this blog and it'd probably assist you while making a cartoon portrait of yourself. This is the Link to download Autodesk sketchbook:
