I made a little tutorial for how I made the marble-like pattern on the sleeves in my "ChongZi and Mu Yu" chibi.



MEDIA: Both digital and traditional.


For digital, I made this with Gimp (but works for all software) and a Wacom tablet, using the hard round brush set to vary size and opacity with pen pressure, with a base opacity of 85+%


For traditional, you can use this method for graphite (additional, graphite-only notes marked with "Pencil 2D Icon ultramini ") as well as for wet media ("🎨") - I have experience with watercolor and acrylic, so I'm approaching this from that mindset for the latter.


TUTORIAL:

Marble Tut - 1

STEP 1


Paint and shade the thing on which you'll be doing the marble pattern.


🎨 - For watercolor, wait for the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step; that's at least 24hrs, even if it will seem dry before - you want the paint to set completely to avoid it being picked back up with water.


For acrylics, you can experiment using wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry for different effects.

Marble Tut - 2

STEP 2 - PATTERN


On a new layer in normal mode, draw trembly, squiggly lines (make sure to check that line stabilization is turned off). Make some parts thicker, and you can add some "splotches" for interest.


Pencil 2D Icon ultramini - Use a dark, soft lead (B-line) pencil and mark lightly, in layers, so you don't carve grooves into the paper, and to make the next step easier (because H-line pencils won't smudge as easily).


🎨 - Wet on dry technique. Try completing steps 2-4 by sections instead of each step all in one go, so your paint doesn't dry out.

Marble Tut - 3

STEP 3 - SMUDGE


Select your smudge tool, increase the brush size a little, and turn on jitter. Tap or nudge lightly along the lines to smudge them; drag lightly in some places to fade them. You can opt to smudge only one side of a splotch to create a fade effect. I still used the hard round brush for this.


Pencil 2D Icon ultramini - Using the side of the pencil, or drawing very, very lightly if you're using a mechanical pencil, draw some fade along the lines as described above. Then, smudge using a tortillion, Q-Tip, tissue, or finger.


🎨 - Paintbrush with just water. You can experiment letting the lines dry out more or less in different places to add variety.

Marble Tut - 4

STEP 4 - ERASER


Eraser tool at <50% opacity. Go over the lightest parts of your subject (the ones hit hardest by the light) and lightly erase a little of the lines to make them lighter, if necessary.


Pencil 2D Icon ultramini - Kneadable eraser or normal eraser using a patting motion.


🎨 - Pick the paint up with water on your brush, or with a tissue (only if watercolor), depending on how much water you have on your painting surface. If using acrylics and the paint has already dried enough that you can't pick it back up, apply a wash (very diluted paint) of the lighter color on top.



And that's it! It's pretty straight-forward, but if anyone finds it useful, here it is. :)

Keep drawing; keep painting!:heart: rvmp
