How To Draw In The Smash Bros. Banner Art Style | Render Breakdown

Render Decoder is a show where I take official video game artworks, break down its art style, then try to replicate it in the end. This is the first of hopefully a lot more episodes!

Ever get that feeling of deja vu? No worries. This is a reupload, just had to update some relevant information. :)

Lastly, here are the brushes I've used in the vid! Please note that I use Clip Studio Paint, so they're not all PS compatible

Solid Brush
Clip Studio Paint's default Gouache brush (no link, it comes with the program)

I also used some brushes from this set, I think one of the rocky texture ones and the skin ones for the texture artifact/stippling brush
