How to achieve this look?

Post by ender360 »

Image

and with something like this on top.

Image

but what I get is this.

Image

the blue circle looses its 'solid' color and I do not want that.

I am using the watercolor brush and tvpaint 10.

This problem occurs with all transparent brushes. What I do:
- duplicate the top layer
- set it to preserve alpha
- fill it with white
If necessary I duplicate this white layer as well.

Now I have
- top watercolor
- white mask
- bottom artwork
TVP 10.0.18 and 11.0 MacPro Quadcore 3GHz 16GB OS 10.6.8 Quicktime 7.6.6
TVP 11.0 and 11.7 MacPro 12core 3GHz 32GB OS 10.11 Quicktime 10.7.3
TVP 11.7 Mac Mini M2pro 32GB OS 13.5

*update*

thank you for the advice. it works to a degree, but the edges as you fill leaves very undesirable results.

and then applying your advice and going around the fuzzy areas with the airbrush

adjusting the flood fill tool helps a bit but i ended up going into the watercolor brush again this time with white as the color and traced along the fuzzy edges(i was not being overly accurate while painting)
Image

I wish there was some other way around in doing this to be honest and done all natively in tvpaint.

Another solution that I am thinking of is on the rendering and compositing side but I'd have to read and research more on that.

If any experts are out there reading this; any links,advice and etc. will be greatly appreciated.
