love your work so so much !! how do you get the lovely two-toned sketches, like your most recent Essek expression sheet? the depth it gives them is gorg!

thank you!!

gosh i’ve been asked this question eight billion times and i’ve had an answer cooking in my drafts for months but i CONSTANTLY forget to just post it already 😂 so here goes while my neurodivergence department isn’t looking: i simply use a crapload of color overlays and/or gradient maps over a black and white sketch, that’s all. and i like to experiement with a lot of different layer modes and the colors used in those layers with each sketch/lineart! 🤭 legitimately a chunk of my drawing time is dedicated to flipping through various layer modes. it’s fun to see what they can do!
