Hi guys, I’m Reg/Regn! 🩵
I like to doodle stuff, especially characters, and also occasionally make illustrations (which I’m still practising). Scribbles, doodles and illustrations posts are mostly in #my art tag!
Here’s my carrd where I’ve put many of my available platforms that you can contact, follow, and also view my artworks!
Here’s a little messy tip on how to know if the skin you’re painting is actually a darker shade (using my old art & latest cyno portrait art as an explanation 😭)
Disclaimer: The adjusted version was edited in Adobe Lightroom and I messed up with the tools, so the colors aren’t the best.
- Just go reduce your artwork’s saturation to zero!
- Try using the character’s hair (in this case, Kaeya’s) as a guide/reference to check if the skin’s value/brightness is lighter or darker than the hair. The upper version is more contrast than the below.
- Or use the character’s shirt here! Kaeya’s shirt is supposed to be white, right? His shirt’s value is usually light, but then, his skin’s value (upper version, unsaturated) is literally the same shade as his shirt’s value. Which means, Kaeya’s skin shade will appear kinda light if exposed to normal white light.
Noticeable parts:
- The contrast between Kaeya’s skin and his shirt
- (Not 100% sure) Kaeya’s hair and his skin’s value/brightness usually should be in similar values.
Here’s an even better example!
This version is before I re-adjusted Cyno’s skin colour.
I felt something was wrong with the value, so I tried to check by reducing the saturation completely, then realized that his skin’s value is the same with his hair’s value. And as you guys know—if you know Cyno—his hair is white colored. Yes, even with a purple hue, but that’s not the point. My guy Cyno literally had his skin as light as his hair before that 😭
After re-adjustment! ⬇️
It’s now a bit more contrasted, yeehaw!
And finally, Value/brightness is very important. Mistakes can happen, but learning and improving is a good thing too. Please study and understand it. It’s a fundamental part in art and it’s very useful.

fun(?) opinion from me, an arospec: i like to hc scaramouche(the wanderer) as aromanticwait yo yo YO DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT YET— hear my reason out it’s more silly than you think:
1. i generally hc almost all Anemo characters aro bc of the letter “A” in it (sounds like a joke but i actually just let it be like that)(especially Jean as aro romance-favorable). I also hc Dendro characters as aro as well… bc it’s green… (note: the aro in this means aro-spec too)
2. after his “reborn” as a wanderer we get to see his unique lifestyle(i can’t get over it!!!), such aplatonic coded, added with the first reason i mentioned, and blablabla his view of the world(i personally think it’s very interesting and makes sense for his story and chara development), whatever he has… dude even if he’s not the chara where ppl would push this guy to be aro with the reason like the stereotypical traits e.g. ✌🏼having no heart✌🏼 and is a puppet, for me he’d still be headcanon-ed as aro. scara can’t escape this from me.
3. cool characters deserves to be hc as aromantic…
one more thing, i noticed how nahida sometimes pushes scara (lightheartedly) to “have some friends”, and scara doesnt like it not bc he lacks social skills or nervous abt interacting with ppl, he just Doesn’t Like Doing That!! Pretty Simple!!!!! he enjoys life and care for the world in his own way, similar how many aro ppl do and live. love need not be the word to describe his actions and thoughts, he knows what he’s doing 🖐🏼
