Good one..
Remember to set cmyk preview so you get an idea of colours and how it may print out
Loved this, so incredibly useful. And I really loved the talk about how we can keep improving at art whatever our age. It's incredibly exciting and motivating to wonder where we can get to if we just keep an open mind and constantly look for ways to improve Also this is what's finally convinced me that using the lasso tool isn't 'cheating'. I'm very traditional so always preferred to do things without modern shortcuts. But watching Brian use it's made me realise it's basically nothing but masking tape. And no one looks at masking tape and thinks "that's cheating" lol

A truth one has to embrace when doing art is short of straight up plagiarism, there is no "cheating" in art. I remember feeling that way for a long time about different tools, but as I've progressed I've tried different tools and styles and realizing ultimately they're all just tools, and that all I was doing was just holding myself back. In the end you are still doing the work. And what actually matters is if it helps you achieve your own vision or not. The difference between physical media and digital is the workflow and tools, one isn't more "legitimate" than another, at the end of the day it's just another form of artistic expression. If you sat Leonardo Di Vinci down in front of a computer with a Wacom tablet and an art program, do you really think he'd scoff at it and call it "cheating"? Hell no, he'd probably be like "you mean I don't have to wait for the colors to dry!?" and make something amazing.

@@knightshousegames yep, it’s bizarre. I’m assuming it comes from our childhoods and how much help we were offered and whether we were already used to accepting knowledge. I started taking drawing seriously about 5 years ago, and only about 2-3 years back did I allow myself to use reference photos. Up until then, I believed it HAD to come from your own mind, otherwise it was ‘cheating’. So I’d spend hours struggling along trying to draw a human from imagination, which…….was obviously, stupid. Like you said, as though Da Vinci hadn’t done decades of anatomical studies, and instead it was all just from his own imagination…..which is obviously ludicrous. So now that I’ve realised how ridiculous that was, I scavenge every scrap of knowledge and information I can to make up for lost time

@@TheHulksMistress I'm sure it also just comes from silly ideas we have ingrained about what art is "real" art and stigma around that I actually was thinking about learning how to draw at the start of 2020, I bought my Wacom tablet in February...then lockdown hit and I had a lot of time to learn how to use it. Before that I was already doing pixel art for my game, but I wanted to know how to draw as well for some of my graphics.Thankfully I never had any hang ups about using references since when I was a kid I would draw characters from game covers all the time, and when I realized I could use reference images for my own ideas it wasn't a huge logical leap. Since then It's just been cool realizing all the artists who made the characters that inspired me as a kid are probably on KZread somewhere passing on their skills, so I can just learn directly from them, which is really amazing when you think about it.
Colorists are the true heroes of the creative comic community. They bring the stories & art to life for me.
What I enjoyed most about this experience about digital coloring Is that shows a different technique that works beyond the many tutorials on KZread that talk about layers and layer masks. Different methods can produce similar (or better) results. Well done.
RGB and CMYK tip is helpful 👏👏
That Hell Cop cover art was absolutely incredible
I took a class with Brian a few years ago. It was online so I think this is actually my first time seeing his face lol. I learned a lot in his class! My sclera were always criticized by him for being too white. Sorry, Brian! My sclera look much better now, I promise!
So much information to learn in such a short video! Great stuff!!
Thank you for the cool tips, will definitely keep them in mind and try and see what I can achieve with it.
Following Rembert's sketchbook evolution has been such a joy since he first appeared on Proko!
I love this guy! Very helpful video. Thank you!
Great video, thank you Kristian and Brian!!
Great technique! excellent analogy with sport
Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! That was really cool!
love this man
Great tips! Thank you!! 😁
great interview. learned a lot
So cool 😳😳 I love comic stuff
Awesome thank you
you the best !!! thank you
Haberlin's Hulk covers are mind blowing.
great stuff
A lil note:If you aint so confident with colors, you can alway do another layer- and I would suggest saving your steps- what is helpful when you not fully satisfied with the result- or your client...;)
Love how this man makes fun of beginners hehehe I'm a eternal beginner!
huh, this is exactly how color mine. looks like I'm not doing it wrong!
I'd be grateful if someone could explain 0:50 for me. Line Art on top. Colour layer underneath set to Multiply. Why is the under layer set to multiply when it's multiplying with nothing? Is it redundent?
Also, what convention is this? I would LOVE to come and explore this type of ‘-con’!

Hey! It was Wondercon in Anaheim, California
Good video. Why do people not colour CMYK directly, for printing? Even trained and professional graphic designers have said use sRGB/RGB, or another colour space first.
Just wondering. Why he doesn't use separate layers for some of the other colors or the background color?
Yes. Us flat colourist are 😊
"What the hell does this guy know? I will put in all the details...oh hell...he made that? Carry on, sir..."
CMYK Vs RGB: You can use RGB all day, just make sure that your “K”value (Black or Luminosity) of the color you’re using doesn’t go below the value of 30.
What program you using to draw in here? I keep trying to find out what everyone (who is very good) prefers but I am not getting any responses. Please give at least a one-word response on here as to which one that you like to use or what you think is a good starter program for beginners.

if you’re still curious he’s using photoshop. I’d recommend procreate if you can get your hands on an ipad, and clip studio paint for desktop. I’ve heard that fresco is pretty good if you’re used to watercolours irl too edit: krita/autodesk sketchbook are free for desktop and mobile respectively, if that helps
Is.... is Kristian okay? He looks like he's about to cry at 12:42. I hope it was just fatigue after a lot of hard work at the con but, if not; rest up buddy! Look after yourself please.

lmao you can hide the selection xD ?!
Amazing colorist! His fine art that he references is not fine art, however.
I fail to see what highlights have to do with colouring. I understand the throughline but this is kinda jumping the gun compared to what I was looking for.

This video is by no means a comprehensive coloring guide. It's only meant to bea selection of tips from Brian. That being said, highlights and shadow are a massive part of how you'll work quickly from flats to believable form in comics coloring. Looking at the work of fast and talented artists like Marte Gracia shows just how much you can do with this concept and blocked in colors. If you're looking for a more comprehensive guide to comics coloring, that's one of the forthcoming sections of our ongoing comics course with Marvel. That's taught by Matt Wilson. www.proko.com/marvel

He's a great talent for sure but like- you know when you can just 'tell' someone doesnt like you or anything you've made, EVEN if you haven't met them.
Great advice from Brian! Though, once again Kristian makes every interview borderline unwatchable. Not just by the questions he asked (or didn't by the way it looks)- but also by simply looking completely disinterested and downright bored... Please Stan- find someone else.
That awkward guy again can you fired him 🤦♂️ hard to watch when he is there
