Hello everyone, I'm a Illustrator, comic and 2d animator freelancer

 

Today I'll will teach you how to make Lo-fi art but using a chibi style

 

In this tutorial I will use the Galaxy Tab s7 to work. But don't worry, basically clip studio is the same on all devices like (Tablets, smartphones, Mac and PC)

This will be the end result

Step 1 - planning

In short, Art Lo-fi represents a nostalgic feeling, so let's make some sketches and choose the most suitable one.

Step 2 - execution

basically we will use the usual methods such as:

 

detail the sketch

Cleanart (Ink)

basic colors

I will use colors with low saturation to represent a negative feeling

now let's add the shading

And warm light

basically to make the drawing darker in a shade that represents the sunset I used a lily color (it can be to your liking) and added in the "multiply" at the top of the drawing

I had a Background art that had been discarded, but I decided to reuse it for this illustration... why not?! 🤣😜

How I did

add effects on the background and on some character particles as shown in the image below

Step 3 - Post-processing

basically it's like an effect that you add at the end

We'll add things like, gradient to add a slight shading

 

I used the "Manga Gradient" is a Clip studio default gradient

then just drag the cursor from bottom to top, add the "Multiply" and decrease the opacity at your discretion

now let's add "noise" to give an effect that simulates a traditional drawing

by default the scale is 50.00, let's decrease it to 10.00 as shown in the image below

Let's add Glow dodge on the "noise" layer and reduce the opacity to 6%

Let's merge the whole drawing as shown in the image below to add a glitch effect

then we need to duplicate it 2 times

rename the layers according to the image below for better organization and understanding

the "original" layer if you are not satisfied with the coloring, you can adjust it in the clip studio menu

In this case we will increase the contrast a little

to add glitch effect let's change the layers "Blue" with the following steps

let's change the coloring of the drawing with the "Level correction"

click on "RGB" and then "Red"

in "output" we will drag the arrow from the right to the left side to change the color

the coloring turned green instead of blue, but this will not make any difference in the final effect .

 

after confirmation, a layer of the effect we created will appear, so I suggest leaving it inside folders for better organization and understanding

we will follow the same step, only this time we will decrease the "Green and Blue"

if you can't see the color change, you just need to disable the "Blue" folder view

leaves the layer "Blue" in "Difference" mode

and at the end move the "Blue" layer to the right or to the left to give the glitch effect.

 

You can leave it as it is, but I preferred to merge the images (except the original) to be able to erase the glitch effect in some areas of the drawing

so this will be the end result

I hope it helped, it's a pleasure to share knowledge with you guys 🤪
