[@geminisol7061]

bro, you are a literal life saver, other channels just don't give you the same simplified and accurate insight as you do man. thanks a lot, also watch jojo.

[@Andrei-f6q]

Mohammed u are the awesome thank you very much for the all video at your channel really helpful

[@siyandasibisi1058]

Louisiana!! HAHAHAHAH

[@JaiOnline]

Multiply layers for shadows, screen layers for lights. Can’t wait to try this out. Thanks, brother! Really amazing video and makes everything pretty clear. Love your work!

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Thankyou man! Glad I can help!!

[@darkmanelboludo]

Dude I’ve been using the Lasso tool to paint and shade, it has been an incredible new method of painting without having to make my work look messy. This video is very much appreciated, I want to learn more on how to use this technique and take it to its absolute limit!

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Thanks so much man! I’m glad I can help out!! It’s a great tool and the technique is pretty handy!

[@visualchamber]

The thing I love about your videos: 1. Short. 2. easy to understand 3. concise and straight to the point. by the way, I use clip studio paint for my artwork

[@LiamJonesArtist]

Alt+Backspace to fill the selection with the chosen color! GOLDEN. Thank you! (took me forever to find that shortcut!).

[@barrybro3417]

Thank you SO MUCH!!!

[@raslead933]

Since watching your videos, my skills have improved a lot! Thank you!!

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Happy to hear that!

[@paulv2074]

This is an awesome tutorial! Its legit the only coloring method I use ever since you introduced it way back! The only thing I have to understan is knowing what colors to use for screen and multiply layers. Its still abit challenging not knowing how different colors will affect the base color layers

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Thanks man! You just have to keep practicing, choosing the colors gets easier. I’ll make a new video talking about that soon enough!

[@aychazyt6987]

Dude, you uploaded this just when I was about to work on a project! I'd leave but now I'm interested in this video. Mastering the lasso is so difficult

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Hahahahah hope it helps man!

Thanks man!

Good advice ❤️ The lasso tool is incredibly useful in saving extra time and energy- manual coloring really wrecks my arms for some reason.

[@e.atruth533]

[@jpxart2836]

I like the steps on how you digitally color your art. For me I tend to add multiple layers and lock them so I can add light, value, and different colors.

[@ShawnPowerz]

Thanks Mo this was a no nonsense deep dive into digital shading and coloring. As a pencil and paper guy this stuff is helpful.

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sketchpadartco]

Dope! Lasso forces me to be much more defined with my color transitions bit I always forget to do and just end up mushing everything around 😔

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Ahaha just do it slowly I think that will help so you get to think more!

[@demoniac4821]

Now its time to use this knowledge on different drawing app and see if it works.

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Hahahhha it should! Goodluck!

[@realswobby]

Very interesting approach, tho I don't know if I would have enough patience to use it fully, using a brush still seems for me to be more intuitive. Also, so many layers would bring me a headache :p At the very beginning, instead of using the magnetic lasso, you can just select the empty space around the character with magic wand and then choose "invert selection".

[@DeejayGrafixx]

broff is that you?I totally forgot about this cheat code..you should do a videos on hisham's work better yet guest artist..we all fell in love with his style

i shall!! definitely!!

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

I could never get lasso tool painting to work for me. I just end up with some jagged little spot or something and it just never works out for me. It's fun to watch you doing it though.

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Thanks man! Well what happens when you do it? Maybe you’re not connecting and making big enough spaces

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

@@MohammedAgbadi I actually don't use photoshop anymore anyways; I do most of my professional work through procreate now. It doesn't have a magnetic tool but it does let you tap and sorta connect the dots but it can still be fairly abrasive. It's fine though, I prefer to paint as close to traditional as I can when working digitally anyways, so I am not too bummed about it or anything haha.

[@saieshpatil7077]

Hey that was a good tutorial I will try it out for sure

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Awesome! Let’s see how it goes?

[@downrodeo]

Hey thanks for the video. Your tutorials are helping a lot of people and is greatly appreciated. I do have a question if you don't mind.When it comes to t-shirts, we usually have limited color palettes, usually between 1-4 colors to play with. We use halftones to compensate. Have you ever worked on merchandise design with limited color? How do you go about tackling the lack of colors?

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Yeah I’ve don some designs. When I do that I usually think of representing my shadows with the negative space of the shirt if it’s a black shirt I’ll only draw using white as my light source. And if it’s white I’ll draw using black and draw only the shadows.

I really like this technique as A) it looks sick as hell. And B) I can be really lazy while doing it, using a mouse with a polygon select tool leaning back in my chair etc.

[@Duraganthelion]

This is easily good enough to be official concept art for the game. :)

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Hahaha it is?!!!

[@JacoBeukman]

Hi Mohammed, thanks for the tutorial. Sticks and stones and rock is where I come from too, nothing beats Africa. I know you don't like questions but perhaps you know. How to allow the Lasso Tool to run beyond the canvas edge? At the moment as soon as my Lasso Tool reaches the canvas edge, instead of following the shape I'm creating with my pointer, it makes straight running ants along the canvas edge until my pointer is back inside the canvas. Selecting beyond the canvas edge would be convenient especially while feathering at anything more than zero. For instance the Polygonal Lasso Tool can by default run past the canvas edge. I want the Lasso Tool to do the same. Do you know how?

[@XonixDerps]

Hey quick question my man, if I wanted a mroe texture look to the insides say folds or skin whatever like a painting does, think I should give it abit more old style aka putting in values with a brush, then lasso over it like you do for lighting and shadow? o: ( Trying to work in concept art so im thinking up quick ways while still being fancy and all haha)

[@MohammedAgbadi]

Yeah man it depends! You can actually select it with the lasso and paint in with a brush!
