Casually posts this at 3 am when no one is going to see it. 

but FOLDS hoyl shit folds folds are so awesome man you literally have no idea I like drawing folds som uch I’ll put them in places where they don’t even belong sometimes. Honestly this is far from definitive and is just my understanding of how folds works gleamed from hours upon hours staring at strangers pants on mass transit, so don’t take my word for it, do your own study! Look at your own jeans in the mirror! look at other peoples jeans! google jeans on the internets! Each different fit is going to come with it’s own folds, depending on factors like the cut of the leg and how much fabric there is and how heavy it is and man there are just so many variables and things to think about it’s awesome

I swear I was sure this post was going to teach me how to make rainbow pants.

A Tutorial Masterpost 

norisus:

I said that I’d show some tutorials I have saved up to someone, but decided that I’d just go ahead and post most of what I have stored away and create a sort of masterpost out of it.

Tips and Resources:

1. USE HIGH QUALITY IMAGES/VIDEO

Whether your making a gif or a graphic, high quality content is very important. It makes a tremendous difference in the final product.

2. SMART SHARPEN

I think it’s really important to sharpen your image. In my opinion, smart sharpen is a lot better than regular sharpen. It gives it a cleaner, clearer feel. I use these settings:

3. DON’T OVERSATURATE.

Seriously, dont.

4. TEXTURES, TEXTURES, TEXTURES

I love textures. They give your graphics an effect that you can’t create with just a bunch of raw images. You can get some great textures from here, here, here and here.

5. GRADIENT MAPS

Gradient maps are amazing. I love using them on pictures that are difficult to color. I like to use a dark brown/light brown gradient map or a grey/white one rather than just have a boring black and white one. It’s a good idea to put a brightness layer under the gradient map if the picture you’re coloring is dark.

6. PSDs

PSDs are the best. Whether you get it from a PSD blog or you make your own, it saves you so much time. If you find yourself editing the same scenes or movies then PSDs will be a life saver for you. You can get PSDs from here, here and here. I also use my own colorings that you can find here.

7. STROKE

This is just a personal preference, but when I put text on my gifs I always use stroke. It just helps the text stand out from the background.

8. MAKE SURE YOUR IMAGE IS THE CORRECT SIZE

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen images become distorted on tumblr because the person didn’t resize it correctly. If you’re uploading one image make sure it is 500px wide. If you’re uploading a photoset these are the sizes the pictures should be:

That’s all. I hope you found this helpful! :)
