Trent Kaniuga shows you a couple of ways to master coloring line art and grayscale value sketches in sketchbook Pro using layer effects such as Color layers, Multiply layers, and image adjustments.

[@SixSixSick13]

Why didn't I find this channel sooner?? Damn! Thank you so much, Trent. Just started using sketchbook pro on my pc and I never knew you could add a colour layer. Colouring in sketchbook app has been the hardest for me and this just made my life so much easier. All thanks to you. You just got a new subscriber here.

[@ccw139]

I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS EITHER AND OH MY GOD HAS THIS MADE EVERYTHING SO MUCH EASIER.

[@artjake9971]

Trent, I have to say that I'm following many, many artists and recently I stumbled upon your channel and I just instantly fell in love with your style, man. And besides the fact that your painting look incredible, you actually teach us something, keep it up, I'm waiting for more videos from you because they're helpful and I really need them!

[@TrentKaniuga]

Thanks for the compliment! Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@MuhanMado]

Im completely in love with the way you paint and draw, I look forward to every video you create

[@DJM3D]

I love your videos man, just found you a month or so ago. You've got a good positivity and it's nice having your artwork playing in the background. I usually listen while working, and taking glances at the screen to see your process for a minute. - By the way I don't even use sketchbook pro. Pretty sure you've heard of procreate, but man it's so good for this kind of work.

[@scaryscene4423]

Thank You! You Are the Best!

[@geoffosborne2798]

Awesome!! Can't wait to see wait to see what sketchbook tips or tricks you reveal to us next!!

[@432hec]

This, this was dope and very much needed in my life.

[@sammayel5200]

Trent, this is great. Thank you ever so much. Just amazing how important this information is after 4 years.

[@zamzam4692]

Hey Trent...you are awesome !

[@leafstormblaze9449]

Thank you for this, i wanted something like this for ages on Sketch book pro and never new it was sitting here right in front of me and happy birthday too.

[@keshav_p]

Thanks a lot.. you are our inspiration

[@xxdudexx20]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@waitthatsgoingtocostyouext5450]

Hi. Im just starting out in digital art from a background of mainly black and white pencil drawing, so this technique is incredibly helpful and exciting for me. Many thanks indeed.😁👍

[@z4lm276]

really really nice

[@carlosedu6967]

2 Years of this masterpiece

[@ineosha7825]

This was so helpful. Thanks for sharing, man! You're art is inspirational

[@MelanieBijoux]

This was pretty cool. Thank you so much

[@graff502cans]

woooo you're awesome bro!!! thanks for the tip.

[@saiyagoon]

Soo... I was just discovering this like a while ago and man I have been missing out. I need to seriously upgrade my art REAL HARD! I must learn more....

[@AndersonCostakin]

Happy b-day! And amazing tips here!

[@metagaard]

you are the man! just binge watched all your vids brochacho. back hurts tho...

[@thexenobunny]

I am still overly fond of directly painting in color over a sketch but it's so true that having values figured out first makes the construction of an image faster and easier. I feel like I went through phases and I am circling back to fundamentals again for a refresher. I started out with grey scale images years back and utilized color/multiply/overlay. The technique has a lot of color theory potential granted if overlays incorporate color (cuzz blending). But it's odd, I just found myself painting directly over the years, not needing or wanting to bother in black and white. Now, as I try to tackle larger images I have to stop myself and consider where my head is at (I'm going around and around my pallet when I should be focused on value and shape). Ah, the joy of painting :P

[@nevermore9887]

thank you so much this was just what i needed

[@ehsan_shardum]

Thnx really interesting

[@fuegooc2469]

buen video gracias

[@zomgforeelz]

Man, lovin' the super saiyan layers approach. I'd try to use like one layer and try to mix in multiple colors with meh results. This looks much more promising!

[@ToastyMeowMix]

awesome video happy bday dude

[@dados.gaming]

this vid help me a lot... time to try it then...thank you.. what a good tips

[@noelportillo8633]

You saved me a lot of time

[@TRON0314]

Been moving my architectural visualization work to SBP and haven't been able to find how to manage my colors or have a consistent color library. Haven't found anything to suggest SBP has this capability. Can there be a color management in and between projects video on that? Great videos!

[@Sketchrcat]

Ummmmm, Trent? This video was the most precise & informatively straightforward & easy to understand tutorial video, I think you've ever done. Excellent video! I hope you will do more videos about explaining layers & using layers, in sketchbook pro. Perhaps a series of tutorial videos on how to use layers for drawing & colorizing would be something you could do. Thankx for this one; it really helped. ~SKETCHCAT

[@olimueller]

can you do maybe a quickvid about the sketchbook pro brushes? How to arrange/change/edit them?

[@oktophlo9455]

Is it just me or does Trent look exactly like his Wolverine drawing from a while back today? Also Happy Birth day!

[@GriffinSteve15]

Happy Birthday Trent!! BTW I got a question I really want to see how u put down colors on your art work. What I mean by that is I want to know how u put down layers from start to finish on a painting it's really confusing to me cause I'm new to digital art . I would love to see the whole work process of a piece from start to finish...not necessarily to be a 10hr painting but a simple art and how separate the layers. BTW thank you soo much u inspired me a lot

[@bretttheillustrator]

dude DUDE DUDE!!!!!!

[@mitsukiyouko]

omfg this is soooo kool!!!!!

[@shadowgoethe]

Four years of Art school and I'm just now learning this trick?! It's the same thing concept artist use for crying out loud! Now I just feel dumb.

[@arqmusk8]

Tchau ! 🤘🇧🇷

[@Apothefox]

Wow that glow effect looks amazing! Can you make clipping masks in SBP too? Anyway thanks for the video and a happy birthday to you!

[@TheDreamMachina]

Any plans on doing tutorials for ipad pro sketchbook users?

[@Haraigoshi_]

Great to see more sketchbook pro tips! Love that program, though I often find myself finishing my coloring in Photoshop. Btw. Are you still active on Patreon? Was thinking of supporting if so :)

[@splinterbones1]

Hey Trent this might be off topic, but I was wondering if you could help me. I am just beginning to do T-Shirt designs, but I was wondering how you apply a distressed or worn look? Does Sketchbook Pro have distressed filters to apply textures? Any info you can provide would be great!

[@zekeescra5791]

hey man love your work. I have a few questions though. Aside from Sketchbook pro, what are you using to do all of this? Computer? Tablet? Stylus? Because I'd love to start do stuff like this.

[@johnathanhoward4943]

I just want to say awesome video and drawing, but my biggest issue is keeping the color once I merge the layers, do you have any suggestions

[@stephenmoore3035]

When you figure out how to do a color hold on scanned (imported) line art you will be my hero

[@elbolerobabuino720]

Stiill real naulesh, thanks bruu🥩🥩🥩🥩

[@kevinwalters7450]

Cool stuff Trent. I love your Sketchbook Pro videos! I may start colorizing my pics using this method, seems pretty time efficient. Are there any downsides when compared with coloring regularly?

[@TrentKaniuga]

I use whatever tools get me to the final product faster. This is actually just a quicker way to lay down color. I would then go over the top of it, flatten it and add details. So its really a shortcut, similar to my photoshop gradient map techniques.

[@gorias8581]

Ok, pretty late comment: How come you can explain a such complicated, very useful tip in less than FIVE freaking minutes with ease and “experts” at Autodesk (who get paid to instruct and persuade viewers) not even mention?!! Thank you SOOO MUCH for this! 💪🏼

[@TrentKaniuga]

Well, they technically paid me during this time, so I was one of those Autodesk guys:) They sponsored me for that period of time when I did all of those tutorials.

[@gorias8581]

Trent Kaniuga Oh ok makes sense.

[@fabianamullaly5086]

holly shit dude, thank you so much. Im new to digital and i could not find anything on how to colour over greyscale in sketchbook pro. love your videos keep it up. fyi: go easy on the endings, sometimes the cringe is unreal, funny though

[@TrentKaniuga]

Ah. I was still trying to find an outro that worked for all occasions. I'm good now though.

[@estelladee]

question: how do you merge the layer set in color mode without it turning back to normal mode (I assume) as soon as it merges?

[@Nozomivamp]

can you do this as simply in photoshop as you can in sketchbook? I know you can do all this but its a bit more round about way.

[@TheDreamMachina]

Are there gradient maps in Sketch Book Pro for ipad?

[@crisdavis]

Hey sir am fully In love with art and animation and I want you to make a video on how to paint characters and background more 3d in digital art

[@awesometoyreviews13]

Hey Trent, I'm a huge fan of your work, big inspiration for me. I'm in artist in highschool, and i live in a small town in Indiana, so there's not a ton of artistic opportunities/ artists at my school/ area. Heck, my school has one art class and there were like 4 people in it and the teacher hated teaching. My question is, how did you stay sane/ excited about art in highschool? Motivation isn't my problem, I just feel like i'm the only one doing this thing that i love! Again, love your work, and your videos often make my day!

[@allroundjohn8387]

evan avery hey, i m not trent , but just want to told you to never give up art ( musician, painter, etc) and if you are really into it, never stop cause you don't have the possibility to continue. Internet is full of oportunities to learn, to discover, to share, and even to teach. Considering that, you have no excuse to give up. I have finally reached an art school in my country, and this is the most enjoying thing that happen to my whole life.

[@edwardtsang8015]

evan avery I have the same problem too, but I recently watched a video of Dave Rapoza being interviewed by Bobby Chiu, would really encourage you to watch it too! Dave literally lived in the middle of the moutains and managed to become really successful

[@TrentKaniuga]

I think its very valuable to get involved in a community. You can start by posting regularly on deviantart, or artstation. Get to know other artists, and challenge each other. Make a webcomic or indie game and get involved with people who engage your work. Do fan drawings for other people on twitter or youtube and find joy in the challenge. It'll never get easier, but if you love the challenge, you'll get better and stick with it.

[@awesometoyreviews13]

Thanks so much for the replies everyone. Iv'e been experimenting with instagram, but i think i'll try out deviant art and a few other platforms, and try to get my work out there a little more. I really have a passion for this stuff and have so much fun doing it and want to work hard to improve. So much to learn! Thanks again Trent for being such an awesome creator, maybe some day i''ll make an art youtube channel of my own and we could collab or something! Your a huge inspiration

[@JAdrew]

How to make sure that the spray color doesnt touch the other part of the layer?

[@SpaceJesus2098]

will these blending modes do the same thing in any program? I use Clip Studio Paint Also, Trent, really looking forward to your section in ImagineFx magazine next month :) could you possibly do a video on how to get the values right/how to do greyscale paintings effectively?

[@TrentKaniuga]

Thats a good question. I don't use clip studio. But some of the effects are similar in photoshop and other pixel based programs.

[@senriquesworld5873]

Does this feature come in sketchbook Pro Android version too?

[@eduardoandressosasegovia9564]

happy birthday 🎂👻👉🐚

[@belchburpito2172]

sweet balloon dude

[@brookd9006]

wait something is wrong, when I change the next layer to color, it just colors the lines of my art, and not the inside, do I have to change some settings

[@DarkDeathAngel100]

Can you teach how to draw hair because this is perfect •^• I will stalk you till then

[@sar19]

happy b-day?

[@TrentKaniuga]

Thanks!

[@andrewfoster4472]

Subconsciously, his painting was inspired by the balloon behind him.

[@dados.gaming]

[@aftereffectstemplates15sec82]

Published in Motion Lovers facebook.com/groups/motionlovers/

[@Fetteremo]

Is it worth buying sketchbook pro? 24€ a year is not much for a photoshop alternative isnt it?

[@ariati_ap5220]

hello my admin fans of the autodesk sketchbook application and not only are there many Indonesian people who like to use this apk for their digital painting ... just a suggestion to develop your KZbin cenel with a variety of tutorials from autodesk sketcbook androit ... maybe so cenel you will be crowded and always useful at any time such as apk editor / digital painting that is always updated / introducing a product .... okay enough that's all my advice thank you.

[@tomtomasz9798]

those gradients are breaking whole value relation between objects - whch make picture flat - me not like it. Good for small graphisc like icons - not for bigger one.

[@brookd9006]

oh missed a step,
