This was soooooooo helpful! I'm an artist that has been trying to figure this out forever and now I feel energized and ready to create! Thanks for the advice and experience.

[@LucasPeinador]

Hey Todd, thank you very much for such a nice comment. I made this video thinking on the struggles that I had when I was starting in Digital Painting, so I'm glad that it could help you.

[@wakandaforever4994]

Omg the base layer mask and the clipping method! That’s the method I’ve been looking for all over the internet, and teachers never really explained in design school for me! What a life saver! Thank you so much 🙏🏾

[@LucasPeinador]

Hey Wakanda! Very glad that the video was helpful, thank you very much for taking the time and leaving me the comment!

[@ph2600]

The first method is my favorite. Looks more painterly and realistic less digital which is what I prefer.

[@LucasPeinador]

That is fair enough, I like to go over my whole painting at the end to remove a bit of that digital look

[@emmanromano267]

Yeah I agree. The last one is great but the first one had a different feeling.

[@sandfox34]

I’d love that greyscale tutorial. I’d even love a more detailed tutorial of this video that explains what a clipping mask is, how to do it and so forth. Maybe you’ve already made a video like that, I’ll go on the hunt!

[@jimmyelvislanger4944]

@LucasPeinador have you already made a grayscale tutorial?

[@JetDraw]

my common mistake is painting even tho my sketch is not finished. I'm so impatient. lol

[@LucasPeinador]

Hey Jetdraw, I feel you. I pay it always in the rendering if I didn't construct my sketch good enough 😬

[@staybalancedn]

same here.... how does one know when its finished

[@TheWolfeMonster]

I dont see it as a mistake, I was always taught to utilize any ideas or to have experimental layers for certain key detail you want to add when you begin the clean up. You'll build your own method the more you become efficient in other areas of studies TRUST ME.

[@JetDraw]

LaDarius Livingston you’re right. Not everyone needs to have the same method.

[@jellybx]

recently i try to do that, i find that if im sure what the illustration gonna be like or its actually simple, unfinished sketch is fine, but if its kinda detailed and have a lot of planes to plot, that unfinished sketch literally just make me spend much more time on rendering stage ._.

[@wakandaforever4994]

I just realised why I struggle so much with painting digitally. I’m not really a painter but rather a sketcher, and painting in the first method overwhelms me as a beginner in digital painting. The multiply and the workflow method really helps me stay organised and keep things simple and clean.

Thank you for the time stamps

[@MartinNdomati]

You did great thing by creating this lessons.ive been looking for this for long.

[@clockworkNate]

I really need to find a tutorial where people aren't just talking over a sped up recording of their paintings 😩

[@mr.pov.mp4]

I recommend Mohammad agbadi.

[@laalgaming5955]

Exactly

[@mintchipicecream964]

good tutorial for people that are already advanced users of photoshop. The methods you're showing look useful but I have no idea how to implement any of them.

[@LucasPeinador]

Thank you for the feed back, I’ll do more basic tutorial

[@ttwian]

Would love to see the tutorial on shadows in greyscale! Would be very helpful to know how you execute your brush strokes during the coloring process as well!

[@안소정-i5v]

I wanted to draw a character like this, but it was good that you taught me the basics slowly. It's amazing how the screen doesn't stop and I keep drawing. It's magical! I'll try my best to learn. Thank you!!

[@LucasPeinador]

awesome, you can do it

[@exciteart]

I like how you breakdown these methods. I'm using almost the same concept of mixing Yolo methods rendering and Quick masking one. But not as detail as yours. Because if we work on complex background and many characters, this will surely slows us down. Almost forget. Here you using black flat background. Background lighting surely effected on characters lighting too, especially on the midday

[@l33tsauce700]

Awesome videos, just started transitioning into digital art and your videos have been extremely helpful. Keep up the good work man.

[@LucasPeinador]

Hey Nega, thank you very much, glad that I can help you in your adventure :)

[@VitchAndVorty]

I haven't thought about using a layer dedicated for shadow in multiply. God. This is super helpful. Thank you.

[@kevinpopescu9741]

I'm a yolo kind of guy but sometimes, when I get tired of the colors I wanted, I like to go black and white first and then play with gradient maps to discover colors I never knew I wanted

[@chaccostan]

A bowl of Miso soup love your tip/method! definitely gonna try it

[@harrellt1405]

At 8:20 a faster way to color the entire character is to use the wand tool on the surrounding , then expand or grow by a pixel or 2(to remove the white space) and then invert it. After, simply use fill. Note that this is assuming ur character has clean line art and has no holes. Props to kienan lafferty for this method, and the guy who taught it to him xD

[@andrewpr0]

Thanks a lot man!! this is super useful!! great tip about the shadows in b&w that allows seeing the values more clearly. man you content is so valious, as a (starting) concept artist i can say that everything you share in your videos is very well-grounded and helps a lot to us, thanks again man!

[@LucasPeinador]

My pleasure Andres. People like you is what makes it worthy. I understand the struggle of finding the right information, and thb, being an artist is hard enough already hahaha. Glad that you found it useful 🙌

This video was extremely useful! Thank you so so much for that!

[@LucasPeinador]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jhilmiliqueen]

Thank you so much! That was so very helpful! I love the first method look, the YOLO! But it makes sense that first we must use the 2nd and 3rd method and then use the first method for the final artistic look of the painting!

[@LucasPeinador]

Glad it was helpful!

[@whitesock08]

accidentally stumbled on this and it turns out veeeerrrryyyy helpful!! you made my day really, glad i found this

[@nebezial1]

just found this channel today. loving the content. i definitely still use yolo often because of my history with acrylics

[@bonjjjj]

@@LucasPeinador Yeah #feelsVIP 😂❤️

[@Th30nlyHitMan]

so whats crazy is i use all three methods i use multiply for blotching in shadows and using masks to easily keep colors in line, and then go with the singular method to go over the flatted in color to add depth and change things up as i want, then if i go for a lineless style i remove the line art section to then pull the finishing bits all together on one layer above the colors but below the shadows keeping most things seperated to help make minor changes i want to make while keeping whatever style possible at my fingertips

[@LucasPeinador]

Yo Alex 👍 you are very welcome, glad you found it useful!

[@scalzacrosta5300]

I use a variation of the second method to fix the problem with colours: I do my rendering in b&w for the most time, after I finish rendering, I duplicate the rendered layer twice, so I have 3 of them. I set 2 of them to "soft light" blending mode, then set the last one to "hard light" at 50% opacity and give it a gradient map with the colours of the scene.

[@LucasPeinador]

awesome 👍

[@raol635]

Thank you Lucas

[@LucasPeinador]

You're wellcome

[@macuhamik]

My common mistake as a beginner in digital painting is that i overblend colors and do not use masking pretty well in layers. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@LucasPeinador]

[@mizterfilip]

Wooow the video is really amazing!!! I need to know how he did that at 10:47 how can you go to grayscale to do the lighting and then go back to normal mode

[@mayoart2]

Personally, I do something like this: - go to View > Proof Setup > Custom, - in the proof customization window change "Device to simulate" to "Dot Gain 20%" and change "Rendering Intent" to "Perceptual"; I also tick the "Black Point Compensation" box, - save the preset, - it should automatically set it so all you gotta do is click Ctrl+Y, in case it doesn't it's saved at the bottom of the "View" options 👌

[@whiteravennexustrading]

hey there phillip

[@xortegaccaedu]

Create an adjustment layer>grayscale. At the bottom of your layers window there is a circle divided in two, hover over it for a second and it should say adjustment. It is non-destructive so you can delete it without messing up your original artwork.

I guess Im randomly asking but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@clockwork204]

Learned digital coloring the lazy multiply way! Still use it a lot these days. As a software developer by trade, the maintainability is very appealing. Been playing around with the YOLO method though, since it’s fast and fun. And you can play around so much and discover new stuff. Plus, I really love rough and painterly looking stuff. :D
