This was soooooooo helpful! I'm an artist that has been trying to figure this out forever and now I feel energized and ready to create! Thanks for the advice and experience.
Hey Todd, thank you very much for such a nice comment. I made this video thinking on the struggles that I had when I was starting in Digital Painting, so I'm glad that it could help you.
I’d love that greyscale tutorial. I’d even love a more detailed tutorial of this video that explains what a clipping mask is, how to do it and so forth. Maybe you’ve already made a video like that, I’ll go on the hunt!
Omg the base layer mask and the clipping method! That’s the method I’ve been looking for all over the internet, and teachers never really explained in design school for me! What a life saver! Thank you so much 🙏🏾
I dont see it as a mistake, I was always taught to utilize any ideas or to have experimental layers for certain key detail you want to add when you begin the clean up. You'll build your own method the more you become efficient in other areas of studies TRUST ME.
recently i try to do that, i find that if im sure what the illustration gonna be like or its actually simple, unfinished sketch is fine, but if its kinda detailed and have a lot of planes to plot, that unfinished sketch literally just make me spend much more time on rendering stage ._.
At 8:20 a faster way to color the entire character is to use the wand tool on the surrounding , then expand or grow by a pixel or 2(to remove the white space) and then invert it. After, simply use fill. Note that this is assuming ur character has clean line art and has no holes. Props to kienan lafferty for this method, and the guy who taught it to him xD
I'm a yolo kind of guy but sometimes, when I get tired of the colors I wanted, I like to go black and white first and then play with gradient maps to discover colors I never knew I wanted
Would love to see the tutorial on shadows in greyscale! Would be very helpful to know how you execute your brush strokes during the coloring process as well!
I wanted to draw a character like this, but it was good that you taught me the basics slowly. It's amazing how the screen doesn't stop and I keep drawing. It's magical! I'll try my best to learn. Thank you!!
I just realised why I struggle so much with painting digitally. I’m not really a painter but rather a sketcher, and painting in the first method overwhelms me as a beginner in digital painting. The multiply and the workflow method really helps me stay organised and keep things simple and clean.
Absolutely Nyx! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer. Hope that this video eased Photoshop a little bit :)
good tutorial for people that are already advanced users of photoshop. The methods you're showing look useful but I have no idea how to implement any of them.
I like how you breakdown these methods. I'm using almost the same concept of mixing Yolo methods rendering and Quick masking one. But not as detail as yours. Because if we work on complex background and many characters, this will surely slows us down. Almost forget. Here you using black flat background. Background lighting surely effected on characters lighting too, especially on the midday
I use a variation of the second method to fix the problem with colours: I do my rendering in b&w for the most time, after I finish rendering, I duplicate the rendered layer twice, so I have 3 of them. I set 2 of them to "soft light" blending mode, then set the last one to "hard light" at 50% opacity and give it a gradient map with the colours of the scene.
Thanks a lot man!! this is super useful!! great tip about the shadows in b&w that allows seeing the values more clearly. man you content is so valious, as a (starting) concept artist i can say that everything you share in your videos is very well-grounded and helps a lot to us, thanks again man!
My pleasure Andres. People like you is what makes it worthy. I understand the struggle of finding the right information, and thb, being an artist is hard enough already hahaha. Glad that you found it useful 🙌
Thank you so much! That was so very helpful! I love the first method look, the YOLO! But it makes sense that first we must use the 2nd and 3rd method and then use the first method for the final artistic look of the painting!
Wooow the video is really amazing!!! I need to know how he did that at 10:47 how can you go to grayscale to do the lighting and then go back to normal mode
Personally, I do something like this: - go to View > Proof Setup > Custom, - in the proof customization window change "Device to simulate" to "Dot Gain 20%" and change "Rendering Intent" to "Perceptual"; I also tick the "Black Point Compensation" box, - save the preset, - it should automatically set it so all you gotta do is click Ctrl+Y, in case it doesn't it's saved at the bottom of the "View" options 👌
Create an adjustment layer>grayscale. At the bottom of your layers window there is a circle divided in two, hover over it for a second and it should say adjustment. It is non-destructive so you can delete it without messing up your original artwork.
I guess Im randomly asking but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
I'd love it if you expand on all of them. I really want to learn the latter two. I've always wanted to do this professionally but i don't understand all the photoshop tools that are industry standard
This was incredibly helpful. I see how undisciplined and impatient I am when it comes to illustration. This was also humbling in that I'm learning the more I know, the more I realise I don't know.
It's amazing Lucas - Good Job - We were talking from the live in instagram and you showed us little bit of the video and I loved it so much and now when i see it full its just .... Thank you!
Hey Umer, thanks man! Yeah hahahaha you got the sneak peak before the release 😁. It could be fun to always share the video in the Livestream before. To the VIP group Hahaha
so whats crazy is i use all three methods i use multiply for blotching in shadows and using masks to easily keep colors in line, and then go with the singular method to go over the flatted in color to add depth and change things up as i want, then if i go for a lineless style i remove the line art section to then pull the finishing bits all together on one layer above the colors but below the shadows keeping most things seperated to help make minor changes i want to make while keeping whatever style possible at my fingertips
I hope sir your next video not so fast.because I want to learn a lot more in drawing using the Photoshop..But you are an amazing..salute sir..

Lucas gercekten cok başarılı bir çalışma olmuş, ellerine sağlık bu bir sanat işi ve sen bunu hakkını vererek yapıyorsun. Bu işe yeni gönül vermiş biri olarak söylüyorum başarı; arzulu kişilerin ulaştığı bir yer olsa gerek. Umarım bende bu kıvama gelebilirim 😊. Kolay gelsin
Thank you for the video. I should cheat a little more with the lazy multiply. Think i'll incorporate it more ^^. I would love a detailed explanation of vector masks and clipping masks. How they can be manipulated separately and how to treat them. I can see how useful they are but i'm a complete noob at understanding how they work. So that's a video idea if u're up for it.
Thank you for the idea H3, clipping masks I could certainly explain, vector masks I don't use them ever, so I could use a explanation video myself hehe. Thanks for sharing!!
@@LucasPeinador thanks alot bro I find myself always struggling when it comes to coloring this help me alot to understand it and have better ways to hit it
Thank you for putting together this helpful tutorial and covering the different workflows! P.S. I love that the character is wearing a Capsule Corp. jacket. 😄
I use Lazzy Multiply to do the environment simulations in my work (replace a smooth wall with a tile surface simulating all the lights and shadows). I've never used it to draw and I think it's time ... Thanks for the video!! :D
Hey Anabumby! I didn't know that that had a name, Environment Simulations, sounds like serious stuff hehe. Yeah! use it, it is super fast for character paintings :) Thank you for sharing!
Lucas Peinador environment simulation it’s the beautiful way to say: I take a good foto of a room (kitchen, living room or bathroom) and change the walls to see how a tile model could looks in “real environments “ , it’s useful. I work in tiles world.
hi Lucas! thank you for explaining the methods. I'll try to implement the tips you mentioned here :D as a suggestion, can you make a video explaining ambient occlusion? and how to paint in grayscale? thanks again!
all three of those methods are beautiful, can you make a tutorial about the brushes you use and how to blend and all that stuff, I recently got my pen tablet and these things are a bit tricky to get a hand on, thanks :)
Hey for sure congratulations on the new tablet I I am just about to release my brushes this month finally if you want to get notified and also some exclusive bonusss you can check this out. Lucaspeinador.com/brushes
Learned digital coloring the lazy multiply way! Still use it a lot these days. As a software developer by trade, the maintainability is very appealing. Been playing around with the YOLO method though, since it’s fast and fun. And you can play around so much and discover new stuff. Plus, I really love rough and painterly looking stuff. :D
Very clear and concise. Helpful yes. I'd like to see how to make your character a part of backgrounds/environment after you've created the character, this is something I've struggled with.
Can you make videos explaining these workflows in more detail? It'll help a lot of people. I'm only a beginner and very tired of painting only using brushes.
Really cool! I’m a beginner with photoshop, this helps. I wish I could follow exactly how you are doing the masks and managing layers. Maybe it’s because I watched this on my phone.
Great overview of your workflow! I would love to see the girl with the sword final walkthrough at the end in its own tutorial so I can practice and follow along. Also with a downloadable outline art. Awesome workflow technique at the end.
Awesome video.... Please make video on how to color in greyscale at intermidate stage of drawings for giving more depth..... Please😫🙏🙏💓😫🙏🙏💓😫🙏🙏💓😫🙏🙏💓😫🙏🙏💓
