🎨 HOW TO COLOR YOUR DRAWINGS (in 5 simple steps)

[@YTartschool]

Hey guys! Super late video this week, worked all night on this it's 8am now I'm soszzZzzzzzZZZZZzzzZZzz *Slap* As I was saying, hope this helps, I can't think of a simpler process to follow to get good results when coloring so let me know how you like it (or hate it). Had fun with this one, hope you like and now it's the weekend so you better go out there with a mask on and enjoy it.

[@ortegasart8609]

Bro it's cool

[@tidalboxer]

THANK YOU! I’m GREAT at line work, but color beats, my ass. I can’t do it.

[@mnsor_sv2062]

man i just started to try coloring😪 and I was lost antle finding your older coloring video cuz I only use pencil in my drawing and I am a beginner at digital art so thank you so much 🥰 (sorry for the bad grammar cuz i am from Saudi Arabia)😅

[@ThatFluffis]

love it!! this such a helpful break down

[@ultratality]

Only question I have with the shading cuz I see you have different lvls of grey when you are shading. Are you changing any of the opacity of the grey or is it all 100% opacity? Is it different brushes that give you the different hardness in the greys? I’m completely new to photoshop.

[@adamjensen9463]

For some weird, magical reason. The timing of when I need to learn something new in drawing, is when Marc releases the exact thing I want to learn.

[@shadowmahesh9876]

and its exactly what im doing at the time as well

[@KingFluffs]

It's a well known fact that he likes to climb into his viewers rooms at night and feast upon their thoughts.

[@dirceuhbandrade4432]

It happen to me too

[@hapiiarts7099]

SAMEEEEE OMG

[@daliblue_]

[@Entharias]

[@fanez3249]

Imaqtpieeeee

[@cobyroberts9678]

[@dirceuhbandrade4432]

Someone need to make a montage

[@d00dlefreak]

As someone who’s struggled to do digital art for YEARS, this has been the easiest tutorial to understand. Thank you so much

[@scw55]

I think the hardest part of digital art is knowing how to use the infinite features within software. So many colours to choose from; so many settings; filters; tricks; destructive or non destructive approaches. Learning how to do art itself can be done with traditional media and it's a skill; you can use intuition to know how to use materials. Digital art feels like you need to have software knowledge/workflow knowledge to begin with; and that's a lot harder to learn from simply watching other people work. You need someone to go through it and talk about it.

[@SeerIncYT]

"if you try to colour your drawing and the result just makes you depressed" me, who just finished crying over my pieces colouring looking smudged : *aYO*

[@miaska]

I love how every intro has something unique

[@aldysmad]

The tutorials always bring something new to the table, especially for some of us that are just getting started at digital art and getting swamped by all the toys inside an app.

[@Jess-zf7bm]

Thank you so so much. I love to sketch but when it comes to coloring, I’ve made the process so long and daunting. I didn’t know it was this simple

[@GreyWolf11022]

Your eyes and mimic are hypnotizing me

[@faithnicoleenaldo2037]

YOU'RE A SAVIOR! THANK YOU SENSEIII😭❤️❤️❤️✨

[@RADPENCILS]

I love the line work trick to add a gausian blur and using difference for shading. Thanks for that tip!

[@mikhaeljonmagoncia2504]

I am improving everytime i watching your videos. Especially the Art School REALLY helped me. It gave me tips and tricks and i also realized my mistakes. Thank you man i dont know what i would do without your help

[@scribblingjoe]

I've been using hard light for shading and light but I'll give this a try.

[@IzFanArt69]

i love simple shade colouring, cause it quicker to finish art.

[@ezekielpingol1988]

You've made a lot of coloring tutorials, but this one is the easiest to follow. Good job and a big thank you, Marc

[@koffinrott]

This is dope as hell. I'm gonna definitely follow this tutorial with a sketch of my own. It's quick, cohesive, and the art is lovely. It is now my homework.

[@timmyg946]

[@amythestwolfariamorrell545]

Best tutorial I’ve ever seen for my preferred art style. Most other tutorials are that painting style within no lines. Thank youuuu

[@StarkerAxe]

Your KZbin ART school is really helpful ya know!

[@fluffyluv5700]

I'm just a newbie for painting so your video is so helpful thanks for helpingTT

[@antonboiko]

Definitely liking the new presentation style in your videos with all the antics (I said sixty percent!!..)

[@ruby_jems]

[@2dmajor999]

[@AdrLongshot]

[@ВасилийШтольц-з9ц]

Thanks for such a descriptive tutorial!

[@caezaepa]

You are a a bless, thank you so much for taking time to teach all of this. With your help im increasingly notice that i becoming a better artist. Thank you so much.

[@Brotothamaxx]

great video series. very easy to understand. Just started out drawing thank you!

[@katchii93]

i deleted my previous comment asking how to paint light in a scene where, for example, there is a sunset - because after watching this i went and watched your tutorial on lighting and backgrounds. i find it really helpful when you add links to related tutorials, thank you so much!!

[@bumblebee3040]

The best tutorial in the world.....simple and easily explained ❤❤❤❤❤❤🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@СофаБоярышникова]

Thank you for video. Even with my bad english I can understand you. Very good and simple explaining.

[@LuckykyunArt]

okay.. ooohhh.. that inner glow or we can use maybe inner shadow as well is something i didn't think about (im gonna steal that). It can be a great use on different coloring technique for the skin subsurface scattering. I experimented on gradient map but i just don't get it right, this way it can be better!

[@laeumelia]

Thank you! You're a life saver 💛💛💛

[@fabiana-8506]

Look at those hands omg! you have improved a lot on them. I'll definitively try this color technique. I love how you explain! I learn something and I keep the enthusiasm.

[@BigWickVic]

simple yet effective! Not all artists on youtube can also teach but you my friend make things so clear for us

[@Nightmura]

Your the best Marc! Thanks teach!

[@briidesmond4728]

Your videos are so fantastic and give me so much hope. Easy to follow, funny, and so CLEAR. THANK YOUUUUU

[@starryeyed110796]

when i started this video i was pretty skeptical because those 5 steps seem pretty obvious, but OMG as soon as i saw the difference (heh, pun) with the shading and glow on the lighting :O :O I was absolutely blown away!

[@doublearabbit831]

Awesome tips! Thank you so much, fine Sir!!!

[@daviddebaene]

Great tutorial ! And that FFX song at the end of your videos always giving me a good mood x)

[@fhariri]

Ah another helpful video, thanks Marc!

[@cassbyard]

Another awesome video! Thank you!

[@ToweringTimoth]

You are amazing. Thank you so muchhhh!!

[@takumimatsuo116]

Amazing process,so good tutorial.

[@GoldenBerry33]

I love your tutorials and your energy, you are the best teacher, cool, handsome and very talented. Thank you for being like this :D

[@supashiba886]

You make it look so easy

[@jorgebrick]

Great video thanks Mark!

[@romanjaviergiordano]

I just want to say THANK YOU! For sharing your knowledge, in such a cool and funny way also. Thanks!

[@newtonewell5172]

Thank you for zooming in on your Layers palette this video! I've had a hard time seeing those important details. Thanks again!!! ... And yeah, I've needed this tutorial... ^_^

[@kevingregoire2764]

Well done. Thanks for posting.

[@kevingregoire2764]

I went to see your shading video and although it was a great lesson on how shadows work I wish it was more like this video where you coach us on how to use the program to shade. I can shade with a pencil on paper fine but to get the best results on a computer I still need further guidance. Eg. would be which brush, what opacity, what color, and any other tips. Do you have such a video already ?? Thanks.

[@samito7147]

This was super helpful! Thanks!

[@19demian]

I find this tutorial to be really helpful for a digital artist beginner like me. Very clear explanations.

[@mozila_]

im so grateful love your job, big fan

[@imperiallwrld]

Really appreciate. M so lucky to find you at the early stage of my Art journey ❤️❤️💜💜✨

[@101AngelLuv]

Thank you so much! Putting emphasis on using the different types of layers and effects was really helpful.

[@mrs.quills7061]

Huh, I learned something similar to break all the shadow and lighting onto separate layers, but I never thought to use the difference mode as opposed to multiply. I’m gunna try this out! Like this is actually a quicker way to color as I typically use clipping masks and such and then color over my shadows and lights using a layer lock. I’ve been looking for a quicker process, so thank you. This seems more intuitive too.

[@Elly03]

Thank you very much I was so confused on coloring but this video helps me a lot!

[@kaizze8777]

Love how you have many videos on HOW to color your drawings. I'm just learning your grisaille method now. Didn't know that classical oil painters called this "underpainting" So really we just modernized classical painting method XD

[@thesunthrone]

This is a fantastic breakdown of the process. Didn't know what a difference all these various layer modes can make! Thanks!

[@narimdraws6696]

just when I was struggling with how to color omg tHANK YOU MARC YOU ALWAYS SAVE THE DAY 😭🙏

[@paperbag9235]

Dude thanks you're amazing

[@Alfred_the_doodler]

Really like the tip of shading layer being on a difference blending mode. Never heard of that technique yet. Also the inner glow on the highlights, that effect was awesome !

[@DangiraD]

This is so helpful, thank you so much I’m so glad I found this video

[@rainbowsimulator1949]

this MADE SO MUCH SENSE and helped me make one of my best pieces ever! Thank you so much for this video!!!!

[@dnickgt16]

Goddamn, bro, thank you so much for breaking it down to layers methodology. I feel like ingested so much content about art theory, which is never bad, but very rarely does it get into the mechanics of leveraging your tools like this. Very much appreciated.

[@warningshotdesigns]

Again another great video. Taking things that can seem super complex and knocking them down to easy to follow steps.

[@mybecember]

I loved the intro Marc! Thanks again for the great tips!

[@Fixyvf]

Love your colouring style🔥

[@TheSairenSA]

Hi Marc, please do a tutorial on sculpting in the style of Heroes of the Storm? You're killing with the videos, it's super informative!
