Description Something a little different, feeling better.

I keep feeling that there has to be a better way to add color to the gray-scale sketch but tinting it like this is quick for now

Took about 1 hour 15 min

Wow, the way you paint the leafs, so the trick is to paint with saturated colors.

Yeah. I'm no expert, but I do know that basically on an overlay layer, the closer you get to %50 gray, the less of the stroke you can see.
Exactly %50 gray is completely invisible.

Thanks very much

I can't recall offhand, I was looking for one just yesterday to see if I can find a better way.
What I do is pretty simple though. I just add an overlay layer over my greyscale and paint fairly saturated colors on it with a big airbrush. Sometimes I add a soft light layer over that for lighting effects, like the fiery glow behind the wheel demon.

Hope that helps. If you find a better one, please let me know
