Hey!
Have you noticed a ton of tops that look almost identical?
To be really unique, I sketch everything first.
I select all layers, set the opacity to zero, then draw the outline in my chosen color at 100% opacity. Next, I fill it with a lighter shade of that color.
For shading, I use similar tones and adjust the opacity. I keep checking how it looks in-game using the “play” button.
I use a graphic tablet.
I’m no pro, but I love it, and I’m getting better with each item—you can too! 😊
