I Tried To Draw Like Rinotuna! [Rinotuna's Drawing Process Analysis] 

4:52 After duplicating the base color layer, Rino locks the transparency and presses alt+del to fill the layer with his main color (gray in this case). He does the same thing when adding color to his shadows, like in 7:00 In step 5, as you said, Rino uses the wand tool to select colors in the base color layer. You can have the same result in CSP if you use the wand tool (called Auto Select in CSP) and make sure to disable "Apply to connected pixels only" in the tool properties. That way you can click one area and select every area with the same color. In step 6, the thing he uses here is called "Quick Mask". In CSP you can find it under the Select menu at the top left. In step 7, Rino is trying to darken the lineart where needed. Idk if he does it in the clip that you are using for reference, but after using Tone Curve he tends to make some extra changes with a brush. Mainly darkening the lineart in the shadows. Apart from some little things, the process in this video is similar to the one in his course. Good job with the video and illustration!

A CSP user here. So the method to change the color within the layer is to use "Lock transparent pixels." It's in the same row as clipping mask. After you select the lock transparent pixels, use a bucket tool or any brush to paint or fill over. Then done! Hope this helps. I enjoy this video a lot! I look forward to see more in the future! :)

I bought his course and can confirm it is ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. I learned so much and by the end of it my art got so much better.

7:30 there's a way easier way to do that in csp! pick your colour, then got to edit > convert to drawing colour. that's it :D i mapped it to a keyboard shortcut and i use it so much oh and to add/change keyboard shortcuts, go to file > shortcut settings or use the shortcut crtl alt shift k i deffo recommend memorising keyboard shortcuts because it makes life so much easier when drawing

You are so underrated! The editing and the overall vibe of this video is really good. I expected to see 400k followers honestly. Keep up the great work

The comment section is filled with gold tips that made the video even better. So awesome when people come together!

So this is basically "i try to do Rino's style, but i take EXTRA, MANY EXTRA steps" For step 6, it's way more easy than you think. CTRL+Click on the thumbnail of Layer 5, this will select the shadows in this layer, then press CTRL+SHIFT+i to revert the selection (So anything that isn't covered by the shadow layer is selected instead, in this case, the lights), then simply fill the selection and you will have the same result.

it is an ultra in-depth explanation. thanks for giving us such great explanatory video. keep up the great work!!!!

Your channel is now my art bible- please never delete any of your videos xD

this would help me a lot to understanding coloring for my art work also your observations, analysis and the way you explain every step are very intelligent and fun to watch, glad I see this video

Your videos are very amazing, we can see the love and effort put into it; i have learned a lot just watching like 2 of your videos thank you they are very educational. Would love to see more of them often.

Thank you for the detailed walk through!!

I love your videos ! They're so valuable to me, bc your observations really helped me to get a better understanding :D

wow this video is just crazy, i love the way you analyze, learn and explain everything. I don't even know who Rinotuna is and you really make me want to see his art

i learned alot from your learning, thank you so much for this!

This video is pure gold ! Thank you so much ^^

This is a great video man! Would love to see more of your content! I was always fascinated by Rinotuna's art process, especially how he designed characters!

Great Explanation! Thanks keep up the good work, wish you all the best!

Amazing analysis, definitely learned a lot as someone who is new to this. Your illustration is gorgeous, also huge props to the man himself Rinotune for making such great illustrations.

I just stumbled upon your video and I have to say, it's my first time watching your content and I'm already hooked:)) Your reactions to the art are so relatable haha, and I can't help but feel the same way whenever I come across something beautiful.

I've wanted to sit down and watch his full process video for a while but just couldn't commit to those hours. But this has been so informative and helpful! I've learned a lot just from watching you learn and break his process down. Thank you for making this video :)

The result's awesome! Thanks for the video bro!

I love this type of content! Your art looks very nice (well, for me it's gorgeous, but I'm a newbie), keep up your good work! Thank you very much for the video!

Love this style of analysis! Informative and funny without distracting from my learning. Thanks so much! 😊💛

I learned so much from the video! And I absolutely ADORE your art!! I'm also not very CSP-literate so you explaining everything step-by-step helps a lot! I will be subscribing from now on and will be with u on the long run to improve my art :> i cant wait for more of your videos!

thank you! great video! makes me reflect on my messy drawing progress and how i should do it differently

Thank you very much for breaking down the painting progress! I always wanted to draw like Rino but didn't know were to start. Again thanks for your help! :)

Thank you so much for the video!, You did an excellent study here ^^. I learned a lot!

Omg finally a video like this on an artist I actually knoww, I love Rinotuna so much

great video, you broke down the steps really well and i think your attempt turned out great! i'm definitely gonna use some of these techniques on something in the future!

Thank you! I've been trying for the past few days to match the way this dude was coloring things just by guessing lol. This is very helpful and good timing too!

What a video! Result was pretty good too! Keep it up!

God this video is amazing! I learned so much from this, even though I wasn't the one drawing. Side note, but the way you pronounce words sounds really nice, I can't explain why. ❤

your video is supper funny to watch, hope you make more content like this. Super amazing to see people falling in love with Rinotuna arts.

After watching something like this there's no way i can leave without a like and subscribe! Thank you for sharing this video, it motivated me alot:)

Wow, this video comes at such a convienent time. I've recently discovered Rinotuna, and have been wanting to see his process, but honestly I was too lazy to watch the lives and too broke to buy the course, LOL. Thank you for breaking this down so simply for us. Your finished piece was amazing, keep doing what you're doing!

great work!

I've been watching your content, and it inspired me to continue drawing, and I like your music. It has this "cafè'ish" and daily life feeling to it. I hope you continue doing what you do. Much love from Korea 🇰🇷

Thanks, I love rinotunas art and this video was very helpfull for me

This was an amazing dissection, and the piece you created was amazing. I can't wait to see where you go with your art if you're saying you're 'lacking knowledge'

This is a great video! I know that a lot of people have already answered questions you had about some of rinotuna's process but I just wanted to point out at 13:05 when you're talking about the fill of the layer, this is essentially the same as opacity in CSP. In Photoshop, fill only refers to the pixels that have been either drawn or made by shapes directly on the canvas, but opacity refers to the whole layer and will change the transparency of layer styles in PS (ie, outline, bevel and emboss etc) CSP doesn't have this because it has minimal layer styles, but considering rinotuna didnt apply any layer styles to that particular layer anyway it doesn't really make a difference. Good job!

Jajaja I love the pain in your voice when you made small but costly mistakes, it's how my whole internal monologue sounds when I try to do digital art 😂

Hi , thanks for the turtorial . I saw this guy , who you mentioned in a video (Rinotuna) from a trimmed stream that someone post on youtube and had no idea who he is , since his skill are amazing I wanted to learn something about him altho my style and him are not the same , I was stunned by the fact his style are simple but yet effective , this video telling me who he is and I'm grateful about that. I'm still training on my art career way , I hope your path are smooth too.

My favorite part of this video weren't all the great tips, but all the cute animal memes and every time you'd start singing haha! I adore the vibes you have, thank you for sharing your experience, now I feel very inspired to try some of these techniques myself :D

Thanks for the effort , you did great. I think you are capable to find your own style , we rather have u as yourself and rinotuna as himself 😊

Thnak you so much for this! Your videos are very helpful :) I feel so much wiser after watching this! lol!

Wow amazing art piece!!!!

Beautiful piece!! I can relate your passion to his works 🥲 You’ve made a great work!

I wish I could sub more than once lmao, great video man, thanks a lot. And I am so in love with ur illustration, especially the character design. I can't comprehend how one can be so creative. I mean I do a shit ton of drawing and painting myself, but getting cool design ideas is just so hard for me :((

Wow, aprendí muchas cosas de este vídeo. Muchas gracias por compartir lo que has aprendido. 🤩

I check you'r music stuff... good morning is perfection :D

I adore rinotuna artstyle. somehow, from your video- i manage to learn something. thank you! I might want to try a few things from this video. thank you so muchhh

MY BIGGEST INSPO!!

Pretty much everything went over my head lmao. But good video. I hope you make a series of more videos like this. I've subscribed. Good luck!

Great video! This was really helpful and you edited the video so well ✨😁

The art you made looks awesome. I'm a newbie at drawing tho, so for me everything looks good

Thank you !

super cool video! also the character design you made looks incredible!✨✨✨

I want to hug you haha, don't be sad about art, some struggles can give you treasures sometimes. Thanks to share your study! :)

You earned my subscribtion.

Great video Thanks alot fot sharing!

as a beginner artist this was really helpful, great video

amazing :) thank you ❤

That was really good explanation❤❤ Really love that, i know the feeling when i saw his artwork for the first time, man this is REALLY COOL ARTWORK And i was expecting someone to breakdown his workflow and you did a very2 good job Looking forward for the next project👀

I hope you do more of this kind of videos! I subbed (:

So proud ma friend 🎉

I applied all the steps you mentioned, but the result is very wonderful ✨✨😭. I did not expect in my life that I would draw like this. Thank you very much for explaining all the steps.✨✨💖

I don't know if you did something specific for this, but after checking out your channel, it seems to have exploded after this video . Great job :)

Thanks for the advice from a fellow csp user!!! Hopefully one day I’ll get Rinotunas actual course

WoW bro much respect 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👑

Ohhhhmygoshhhhhhh

if you lock the transparency of a layer, you can fill the layers pixels with any color you desire. it will stay the same level of opacity no matter what you do. you can even do a gradient over that layer to make the shadows more saturated and light towards the light source and darker and greyer away from it, giving the art and extra level of depth with little effort!

This is such an informative video and great breakdown! Love to see how other artists work! Your illustration turned out beautifully!! Love the design and the colors! At 14:18 i wanted to mention as a CSP user, I'm not sure if it got mentioned by others already, but you can extend the fill tool to also go underneath the lineart. An option you can enable is "area scaling" and you can increase or decrease the amount so then the fill can extend past the lineart. I also recommend working with aliased (hard edge) so you don't get a "halo" when selecting from your flats layer. I used to draw and fill like Rino did but when working with so many details it's so much more efficient to turn on reference layer and fill. Keep up the good work!

Finally something about rinotuna

i love his style but i ended up frustrated on following his style and i just take what it needed to do on my illustration. LOL. Very impressive you can reach and achieve from his step by step illustration.

7:31 Other comments have already suggested methods but there’s another way that might or might not be a bit more like what Rinotuna is doing in photoshop. It’s a bit much to explain at first but once you’ve done it you’ll see it’s dead simple. Basically, you can tint an entire layer any color you want, non-destructively (the layer’s original color is preserved and the effect can be reversed in one click) using an Effect in Layer Property. I think it’s similar to the Convert to Drawing Color technique but I’m not sure of all the differences because I basically use this instead of that. To do this, there’s a button all the way to the right of the top row of buttons (the one with the lighthouse in it) in your Layer tab. You’ll need to widen your layer tab to reveal it. It’ll look like a primary/secondary color selection thing, two stacked squares. By default the primary one is blue and the sub color is white and when you click it, it’ll tint your entire layer non-photo blue. Now obviously you want to adjust this color. To do that, you’ll need to add the Layer Property tab to your workspace. Find the Window drop-down menu at the top of your CSP uhhh… window, and check Layer Property. I keep my Layer Property tab nested with my Layer tab so it’s out of the way whenever I’m not using it but stick yours wherever you feel like it should go. Now that you have the layer color effect activated, you’ll find a swatch of that color next to the label ‘Layer color’ under the Effect heading in the Layer Property tab. Clicking on this swatch will bring up its own Color Setting window, where you can access your color wheel, sets, history, whatever method you want to use to set the color the layer is tinted to. Oh, also there’s a button to activate the layer color effect in the Layer Property tab in case you don’t want to widen your Layer tab to reveal the button there. It looks similar (stacked squares) and is also the one all the way on the right. Two quick tips for using this technique: • I recommend painting in black on any layer you plan on tinting with the layer color effect. You’ll get the most predictable results this way. For the workflow you’re using here, you would tint the layer gray before you start painting shadows and then you’d pick black as your paint color - the end result will still come out whatever shade of gray you set as layer color. Any color that is not black will just give you a more faded value of that color. When it comes time to change the color of that layer it’ll be super easy because you already have the layer color effect active on that layer and you can click through different color options and see the results instantly before committing. • If you want to go back into a layer that has the layer color effect applied and fine tune just parts of it - shift the colors here and there - it won’t show up the way you want as long as the effect is active. No matter what color you use in that layer, it’ll all get tinted the layer color. You will have to right click on the layer and apply Rasterize. The Rasterize function in CSP does more than the name implies. In addition to converting vector layers and smart objects into bitmap, it also deactivates effects by baking them into the layer. Afterwards you can lock transparency if you want and paint whatever color you like on the layer and those colors will now show up as normal.

just a tip: when you finish a painting you can tweak colors with gradient maps, it makes it have a more cohesive and soft hue shiftsyou have to use them sparingly and with a airbrush tho since it would get too chaotic too fast

although I did take his class, it is easy to forget the steps sometimes. This video helps a lot! thanks ^^

great video! aside from some things you need to learn that made me scream at the screen lol but we all start somewhere, also i think all the steps from 9-12 count as one, rendering! thats where the magic happens if you paint

I usually change the color in one layer using "Convert to drawing color". It's under "Edit" menu. Since I use it often, I just make custom keyboard shortcut for it. How to use it: select the layer, then choose the color you want, press the shortcut button and done. It's also work for area selected using lasso or magic wand.

Wow, it's really a great painting idea. Thank you very much for your observation and analysis, which gave me a new painting idea🥰🥰. Can I share this video with my friends please🥺🥺

I use procreate so it’ll be interesting trying to replicate some of the things shown. Great work

that's a pretty based way to do line art man doesn't need to sketch it in, he needs one shot and then add weight later absolute madlad

"he stole my whole style, line for line, bar for bar." -Rinotuna April 2023

"broke like me" that got me 😢

Awesome video quality! This channel will grow!

So my way of doing the full color change is I have a shortcut set for clips [change line color] I have it set to a random tab on my keyboard so I can do it in one click So all I do is pick the color I want go to the layer I want hit the key and done ✔️

Great video

非常感謝你的影片 對我也非常有幫助

Great video, very useful! Also you don't have to use the technique that rino used at 14:09, instead (in CSP) you could select the areas you want to fill in on the lineart layer (like you already did) and then click the "expand selection" option, this could save you some time so you don't have to manually trace the areas you want to fill in!

It's good seeing my guy getting 42k views yessss

This video is amazing, you deserve a lot more views!

♥️♥️💥🔥

8:00 i have a method that is i use folder to shade by changing mode to ultiply. In that folder contain base shade layer, and upper it i duplicate base color layer, click ctrl+U and adjust saturation to max. Then i change layer mode to color and adjust the opacity to make it suitable. The function of that color mode layer is to make the shade not too pale. And i usually i add brightness mode layer (from duplicated base color without ctrl+U) below the color mode layer to make some adjusment since the shade of dark color is different with lighter color.

W0W

7:02 my guess is that he color picked and fill ( alt + del ) and because the layer was locked, it only filled the shadow and not the whole layer

7:34 i dont but what i usually do is duplicating the flats and then clipping ut to shadow n setting to multiply

Thank you for the video! It’s nice when someone explains stuff. Also, your piece is beautiful too. I have a question though, do you have a link to a certain stream of his you used in a video?

Thank a lot

7:02 What he did here was select the layer, lock transparent pixels, select the color and just fill that layer with the new color using Alt+backspace
