An unhelpful guide on how OP (hugo) draws blood in his art (including any other creative mediums that he works with.) The following text goes from arrow to arrow, accompanied with visual examples on how to illustrate blood.
1. Make a blob. Trust the Process, because thats how you'll make splatters more.. splattery. (this is also dependant on what /you/ want.)
2. Use a soft eraser (similar to an airbrush) to clean it up a tiny bit.
3. Add Splashes. And Anything drippy. (dependant on what /YOU'RE/ working with.)
4. 4. Make use of the multiply layer and paint in details. Make sure the edges of the blood are lighter (or alternatively, copy the same layer,
clip mask, and carefully paint it with a darker colour.)
5. Add gloss to it! (and optionally adding cross hatching for texture.)
(GLOSS IS DEPENDANT ON LIGHTING.)
Unsolicited & unhelpful guide on how /I/ personally paint and draw blood (in art mediums)!! (alt. text included.)
