HOW TO COLOR YOUR DRAWINGS (in any software) 👨‍🎨

Hey Marc. I can't find the one brush you used for the shading in your brush set, called 'Skin Cavity' (I paused the video to check). I have tried them all and it's not amongst them. But I guess it doesn't matter so much. I think what I have to learn is edge control.

Hey Daniel, this was about 6h so far based on the recordings (over a few days), will prob spend another 2h on polish + background. It's a simpler design where what I decide goes 100% so it's relatively quick, but you can expect to spend 10x that if you were working on a promotional piece for a game, or splash art. There's usually a lot of back and forth between the artist and the team until everyone is happy.

I used this method more as I was also learning this from a professional anime illustrator that uses this in the formal name of Grisaille painting. It turns out that this is a legit form of oil painting that uses the grey as an underpainting then painting color ON TOP. Since then my digital paintings have this level of realism thats very satisfying to watch.

Thanks! It's amazing how similar this is to the way I've always worked (except, I don't do line art, I start with "paint" layer which is what you call flats). Then I put a black layer on top set to saturation to see values & I work on a "luma" layer beneath it where I paint form shading & ambient occlusion. I do this bc it's easier to get the right values when you hide the color. Last, I'll do a few polish layers, like 1 overlay layer for highlights & deeper shadows, & sometimes 1 color layer to add hue variation where I get creative, then finish with filters/ level adjustments/ etc

@@duhck833 look at his other tutorial with the buffed man about lighting, photoshop has the option and if people are using an iPad, artstudio pro also has the same options *cheers

I used to follow you back in the DeviantArt days! Love your art. You've been amazing, but have grown exponentially as well. Thanks for sharing this

As a traditional painter, I now understand that the last few steps is what was keeping my digital art from looking right. It is at that point that you start taking full advantage of the digital tools in ways that you just cannot approach in traditional art.

Don't think that the "MB" on her sword went unnoticed ; )

God, I love you dude. I was so bummed out because I'm an illustrator at heart and always wished I was more of a painter. But looking at your process, you're not painting without lines. And it looks great. I'm going to start using your process. It makes complete sense to me. Btw, taking the base color duping it and washing out the colors with a hue modifier is genius. I'm kicking myself for not realizing this lol. Love your content. Subscribed!!!!!
