COLOR+LIGHTING TRICKS FOR DIGITAL PAINTING 

the most challenging thing about painting in colors, especially without a reference is not in the colors themselves but in the values, saturation, contrast, and lighting, at least that's what I struggle with

It’s so refreshing hearing about the struggles fellow artists go through. I am by no means celebrating the struggles. Just grateful for the vulnerability and advice. You’re right, we do need to step away from the piece and sometimes draw from imagination a bit more. Thank you Sara 💕💕

so shiny and fairy looking 😀

i LOVE the final piece!!

Sara she is sooo pretty 😍 Those warm reds ✨ I really love it. Great video 👍

It's so lovely to see how your digital painting style has evolved!

I love the blue tone of this painting, it's unique and really pops 😍

Hi ! I'd love to know what brush you are using in Clip studio paint ! I'm searching for good brushes...

First thing first: I love the end result of the painting, and congrats for sticking to it, I know it's not that easy. To me it happens A LOT, but I noticed that when I give myself the opportunity to keep on working, after a little break or even after several days, I come back to it with new eyes and a clearer vision of what is not working, and it's just SO SATISFYING when you are able to recognize your mistakes and fix them, I feel so much proud of my work than when everything goings smoothly. I'm also trying to distance from reference photos, because I noticed that I don't use them properly, I tend to "copy" a lot and it kills my creativity. This video, btw, was super helpful because I have a problem with non natural skin color and you gave me some really precious insight that I can't wait to apply in my own work. Thanks a lot! And amazing job, there!

You're voice is soooo soothing 😌 ✨️ can listen to it for hours. Recently found your channel and I'm in love. All your videos and work are amazing! 🤩

Wooo!! I loved the original video, and can’t wait to see how much your process has improved alongside your artwork 😻😻

Hey Sara! What a lovely video. Can you make a video about the brushes you use in Clip Studio Paint and how to use them?

Sara You're a genius I can't wait for your book to come out. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

color theory is one thing i’ve always had a good grasp over, now lighting??? lighting from my head??? even worse.

Beautiful, inspiring and helpful! Thanks for posting!

Ooh! Super excited for your book!

It’s so great to see you revisiting and reflecting on old videos from all the way from 2016! 💖 I really appreciate your offer for Clip Studio Paint and all the work you’ve done with that program so far. I also think this digital painting is perfect for the holiday season with the colors you’ve chosen - frostbite blue sounds just about right!

Love how it turned out!!

where we can find the japanese brush?

SECOND COMMENT !

I really love the colour palette, but isn't the neck too small?

So beautiful as always, Sara 🤍 I cannot wait to see more house videos as well!
