A new texturing video :) (Patreon)
Content
I recorded this soo long ago, but finally found some time to edit it and to add captions. :)
In this video I'll try to show you how I blend more EA textures to make a new one for my CC. This is not exactly a beginner's tutorial, as I don't explain all the tiny details, but all the useful info is included if you are already a bit familiar with the process! Sometimes it's a bit fast, as I do some steps quickly, so feel free to slow it down or pause it to read the captions as well!
I'd like to repeat some tips from the video you might find useful when blending textures:
Before blending, make sure your textures are desaturated! Tweak the contrast and brightness to match them before jumping into blending them!
Instead of long strokes, when smudging use a lot of small and short strokes!
Use different layer modes to make your textures and shadows pop more! You can use multiple ones, setting them to Overlay, Grain Merge etc. and tweak the opacity!
