sorry to be "that guy" but this is not right. you cant just ad flat color, but seeing all the comments, and seeing that you got a DD, maybe this is not important anymore. les take shortcuts for everything.

jeffoffo In reply to angelcanohn [2016-06-21 03:50:25 +0000 UTC]

No don't worry about it, I know why you think it's a shortcut. Adding flat color is NOT all. I was just introducing how to push the grayscale into a coloring template. Afterwards you can add a more detailed colors using reds, browns, blues, etc.Β 

This tutorial is meant for grayscale, hence the title, grayscale. It's not meant to show you how to actually colorize. It's meant to show that yes, you are able to color on top of a grayscale drawing, here is the simplest possible example of how to do so.Β

So handy-- I was just looking for something like this!Β  I'm terrible with lighting, but a lot of it is just nervousness.Β  It's much easier to try new things when there are steps to follow (at least the first several times!).Β  Thank you for sharing this!

Very good for starters, but I think when you add flat color onto your grey shading, the result looks kind of dead. Like a 3-D computer animation, I mean.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 2

jeffoffo In reply to Zorbonaut [2016-06-18 13:16:17 +0000 UTC]

To be honest I agree. I was trying to show the simple process of adding color onto grayscale drawings. In an actual painting it would be more than a flat color, and that's when we delve into color theory, which is a whole other subject beast on its own. Basically my goal was to just give the first step, and after that is when the real touch up starts.Β

Of course you should master the basics before you get the more advanced stuff, yea.

because its straight grey and thats not what shadows on real flesh looks like

Zorbonaut In reply to Hyena-bones [2016-06-17 18:24:36 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's not like directly using a daker shade of a different color for shading.

This is just great! You explain so well. Since I'm using corel painter two times half the tutorials end for me when the use of special brushes or filters or stuff starts.
Yet since you explained the basics and not the program specials one can follow your tips with any painting program. Β

jeffoffo In reply to Dahkur [2016-06-09 17:09:59 +0000 UTC]

Yep... lots of diff programs out there with lots of diff brushes, people should learn how to draw with the most basic default brush before trying to use special brushes.Β

OMG... Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial.
I started to paint in photoshop a few week ago and I was looking for new good tutorials (before, I used PaintToolSai for years).
You give really good advices and you are right: we can learn a new program by exploring and testing this tools, but If you don't know where to start, that can be pretty difficult.

jeffoffo In reply to Youkomix [2016-06-09 17:12:05 +0000 UTC]

Same I have used SAI for years. I am still planning on using SAI in the future, I wanted to show that Photoshop is not as hard as people think. To get started, the mixer brush is pretty awesome, I think that would be key to making more smooth drawings. Other than that it's just blocking in opacity over and over until something good shows up.
