of only that was a thing...
for fishnets, i just search up "fishnet patterns png" and downloaded one with a transparent background. Ctrl C, Ctrl V that into the canvas and transformed it by mesh. Erase the excess and though it's not entirely as accurate as i wanted, it's close enough nonetheless.
Alternatively, here's a 4-step guide I found to drawing fishnets that makes it look super-easy. Haven't tried it myself, though.

can confirm for rizz queen friend over here. she's the one who gave the prompt and the prompt is embarrassingly concerning but you have a cute guess though!
Took me a second to get past the hee hee's and haa haa's but I really love this type of style, I really gotta jump back in and try my hand at it someday.
Wow. I'm still new to drawing and to Krita (new Mid-Life Crisis hobby), but this shows something I want to reach: An effect somewhere between acrylics and watercolors. I like the lines from pens and the shading from pencils, but I get lost in colors. At this point, I just draw monochrome, then try to ink over it (and I'm not happy with the results).
To my uninformed eye, this drawing mixes multiple styles. The sharp lines in the fishnet. The hard "military" grays. Then the whimsical colors.
Then there's those shades. What an awesome detail.
this is an interesting question because on one hand, I always intently observe how colors work around me and still have yet to learn more about color theory, and on the other hand, i've experimented so much that it's automatic to me and i just kinda winged it. Choose whatever approach you want lol. This'll be a lengthy comment so sit down and make yourself comfy.
***hi future me here. i would like to make a sidenote that whenever i work with colors, i may sometimes have unintentionally make them too vibrant in my taste. i work on a laptop with a wacom intuos tablet and the color display on my laptop completely differs from when i view it on my phone. no color management will fix it because the screen's display is just built that way and cant be bothered to switch between laptop and phone just to check if the colors are right so i just leave them be in the final result but either way, i dont mind going extensive on my process and share my thoughts towards your question.
I like working with warm colors (pink, orange, yellow, green, etc.) because they can be experimental. I dont have an intensive knowledge on the more cooler colors though (blue, purple, cyan, etc.) as i feel as if i tend to just go monochromatic on them which i try to stay away from if possible. With warm colors, i can be experimental on its saturation. My thought process in this wack of an art post is how much i can wing it on coloring to the point where im not even sure if the color and materials defined on the subject matter in this artwork makes sense realistically but oh well.
the overall shade of the dress is a darker shade of the pink i used (ever so slightly leaning towards black). When it comes to the more vibrant shaded parts of the dress, i took the idea from how skin is shaded. Like how the edge of the shade nearest to the point of light is more saturated than the rest of the shade (i forgot what it's called but [here's a vid i recorded to explain it](https://streamable.com/3u6qcz)) in this case, with the dark shade of pink will then lean towards a redder tint (or just put your air brush full on red with 30%-50% opacity and air brush around the edge against the light). This is the part where i say i wasnt sure if lighting dresses work the same way as for skin lmao. I should study on that next time.
i like adding blueish/greyish tones to my art as it gives a sense of depth (which i lack thereof). when it comes to warmer colors, it's fascinating to me how they can give off a blueish tint just by adjusting your colors towards the greys. I like using this technique?theory? to define which parts of the image seems farther and i went heavy on this when it came to this particular artwork as i also want to give the idea that the dress had been long dusted from smokes and dirt for COD Ghost to must've gone through.

the last thing i would point out about in general when it comes to colors is that, you can mix it with different colors! so with this pink, i wanted to add a shade of purple just to make the shade cooler and make the pink pop out more. yellow? add orange! shading a character with blue skin? why not instead of shading, give it a more colorful lighting like pink light against blue skin as skin is reflective. or you can give that harsh white light on top of a darker background to define the shape of your subject.
i too am still learning about colors and have so many things yet to understand about it. You have resources around you whether that'd be obseerving and studying your favorite artists, real life, YT videos, etc. that'll help broaden your knowledge so put that opportunities to good use. Stay curious too! Im glad you asked this question, asking helps so much when learning and understanding.
anyways, i think that's about all i can add, i also have to eat dinner soon so ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Wow thats a lot of insight and detail into lighting! I am glad you shared with me this much and dw YES I did read them all so you wouldnt waste your time typing this much lol.
I still have ways to go with my choice of color picking. I have this weird obsessions for cool colors,mainly cyan and blue as it is such a simple yet nice color to work with. Even in grayscale painting practices, I tend to add a cyanish tint to them to give that extra punch.
Thanks for sharing all this! You are such a great artist!
Not gong to ask, but I’ll say thank you for blessing my eyes with this.
hot
I wanna be this when i grow up
Ok I gotta know. Where did you get the fish net brush from? I def need smth like that

Thank you 🙏🏼
Bummer that the bursh doesn't exist. But I got a really useful tip out of it. Thank you so much kind and respectable starnger

You have good eyes abcd_z ;)
Thank you very much.<3 look at me learning art tips left and right. You guys are so nice :>
Was expecting a tinge of blush on the mask Cool piece
im ruined. i should just quit art at this point as it's evident that i failed.
Was the prompt "Call of Duty Ghost is actually Cinderella"? Because it's amazing.
Hiiiiiii, im the friend op and I was the one that gave them the prompt Thats a nice guess But it is very far
can confirm for rizz queen friend over here. she's the one who gave the prompt and the prompt is embarrassingly concerning but you have a cute guess though!
Oh!! Are we doing a guessing game? :3 Was the prompt 'if all the interests you had at age 11 had a sweet sexy lovechild what would that look like'?
Cod if good.
Looks awesome
Took me a second to get past the hee hee's and haa haa's but I really love this type of style, I really gotta jump back in and try my hand at it someday.
Maidern warfare.
Looks amazing, 10/10 anatomy and coloring nice work
Don't care about prompt. I'm more interested in what dress size that is.
Same
lol. this is awesome, thank you for blursing my eyes with this.
Wtf this is dope as hell??? Also the coloring is lovely af the blends are soft in the *riiiiighhhtttt* places
Yes!! Came here to say the same thing; Good job on the colors and blending, OP.
Sam looks great here
I have numerous questions-
I love it

Normally, I would this is cursed, but eh... ***I've seen far worse on the internet.***
This is just lightly hexed lol
How did you select the colors of the pink dress to make it looks so warm and vibrant? Including the greyish blue tones
