Advanced Comic Coloring in Procreate

Ғылым және технология

It's been a while since I've posted a tutorial on this channel, well that all changes today. This is how I color comics in Procreate. I use the fill tool and also gradient brushes to add detail. I also go through things like combining layers and reference layers.

    When you re-color the lines you can also just put alpha lock on and click "fill layer"

    Good video. I have a different add gradient to the hair. If you selected the layer, (in this case the foreground color layer) using select from the layer menu, when you stamp the gradient down you would not need to use the eraser around the hair. It will only stamp in the selected area. I do this all the time now. I often use select, and make a new layer. Good for highlights and shadows too etc.

    If you wanna do gradients, you can have color strips side by side with no space in between and then Gaussian blur them if u have them on the same layer and u get a smooth gradient

    Personally, I prefer Autodesk Sketchbook's way of doing gradients, since it allows for more customisation, but I can really understand why you like Procreate's way of doing things, since I will concede that it is much simpler.

    super usefull tips! thanks for sharing! I'm especially happy to now understand the refference layer! It's going to save me alot of time rather than jumping in between layers and using automatic select on ink layer. quick question.. whats the difference between alpha locking your lines layer instead of just using "select" on it before recoloring the lines?

  • @chartflipper

    @chartflipper

    6 жыл бұрын

    Select (if you mean the automatic version) only takes a certain amount of the lines. The amount varies depending on the threshold you use and on how much the lines stick together. That can work, if you manage to select 100% of the lines' area. With alphalock you can be sure to have 100% "selected". Plus it's much faster.

  • @chartflipper

    @chartflipper

    6 жыл бұрын

    Oh - the selection method has one advantage - as I can see: When you use it for example on the "foreground colors" layer, you can select - for example - only the skin color. Once you have the selection, your added gradient wouldn't have to be trimmed into shape with the eraser.
