The mixing in this case is one created by optical illusion: The colours are so close together that the eye can’t really distinguish between them and will instead observe a mixture.ĭry brushing is when the artist tries to put a very little amount of ink on a brush and paints with it. You see scumbling happening with dry media like pencils and crayons, but also in liquid media like paint and ink with usage of the Dry Brushing technique. But rather than being semi-transparent, a scumble layer is very textured. We then blend everything together like above: We then change our light-pick to a light-blue: We then use this light-pink to mark the main-shadows: You can use glossing to mix up easily a coherent colour palette as well:įirst, we set our brush blending mode to ‘multiply’, and take a light-pink(for example). Now, this can feel a little abstract, so here’s a demonstration of our soldier being painted in this manner: It is much more effective and easier to control than say a paintbrush with a soft brush-tip: This causes a texture of varying opacities and makes it easier to blend with. This makes it so that there’s a subtle Dab offset being made. The reason is the Airbrush tool’s ‘flow’ parameter. Now, you would be tempted to think that Gimp’ s paintbrush tool is ideal for this, but the truth is that you’re better off with the Airbrush tool. Repeating this process a few times over results into a nice gradient: (of course, in traditional painting you aren’t able to do this, instead you are very careful with the opaqueness of the glaze) Overlaying one colour with a semi-transparent layer of the other results in a mixture of both colours, which you then can colour-pick. You can do this through a brush that allows transparency based on the pressure, or a brush that has the opacity set lower than 100%. Now overlay said colour with another colour, but then semi-transparent. The following gifs are made in Gimp, and we’ll use that as basis for this part. Here the use of glazes allows for the description of the fine fabrics she’s wearing, like her veil, but it is also aiding the soft glow in her skin. This technique can create fine blends, and has been used for a long time by Oil painters and water colourers.Ībove: The Mona Lisa is well-known for many things, amongst which the fine using of the glossing technique. In an artistic context glazing refers to using half-transparent layers of one colour over the other. You may have heard of glossing in an art context, but we also use it outside of a artistic context, such as ‘glossing over something’ or when referring to the shiny ‘glazing’ on pastries. We’ll be talking about Glossing, scumbling, mixing, hatching and half-tone/dithering in this technique focussed tutorial.
Interestingly enough, we can apply the same techniques as many traditional artist have for centuries. But how do we get those nice soft transitions, and how does one actually mix colour in a computer program?

So, now you know how to colour and shade your drawings, however, we’ve only covered cel-shading, with large sharpely defined borders.
