    Hey Marc. I can't find the one brush you used for the shading in your brush set, called 'Skin Cavity' (I paused the video to check). I have tried them all and it's not amongst them. But I guess it doesn't matter so much. I think what I have to learn is edge control.

    I’m not even exaggerating this is probably one of the better digital art tutorials on KZread. So many tutorials get into the knitting gritty but the hardest part is knowing even where to start. This tutorial goes over everything in *just* enough detail that it’s both extremely helpful and simple(!). So that way we can get started and dive into more in-depth stuff once we have the basics.

    I used this method more as I was also learning this from a professional anime illustrator that uses this in the formal name of Grisaille painting. It turns out that this is a legit form of oil painting that uses the grey as an underpainting then painting color ON TOP. Since then my digital paintings have this level of realism thats very satisfying to watch.

    Hey Daniel, this was about 6h so far based on the recordings (over a few days), will prob spend another 2h on polish + background. It's a simpler design where what I decide goes 100% so it's relatively quick, but you can expect to spend 10x that if you were working on a promotional piece for a game, or splash art. There's usually a lot of back and forth between the artist and the team until everyone is happy.

I looked for tutorials on how to separate doing shading/values from color before, and just found videos saying it can't be done with good results. Thank you. Your art is beautiful.

    Oh my god, it's been a long time since I had a shift in my workflow really help me out, like, significantly, but adding the lighting directly on the flats has honestly made my drawings improve in a massive leap. I was used to handling lighting and shading kinda similarly from a conceptual standpoint, but the way you split them up (shading through greyscale, lighting through color) makes me feel almost dumb for how I did things previously. Thank you so, so much!

I only recently broke away from pure cel-shading to try for a slightly more realistic look and, though I could get some good results, it would take me HOURS just to paint a character's head and shoulders because I didn't have a good workflow or understanding of digital painting techniques. Then I watched your videos and followed along with my own piece just to try and WOW! I was able to go from lineart to a fully colored and shaded full-body character portrait in an afternoon and the colors/lighting look great. The tip about gradient maps alone is mind-blowing. I can't wait to see what I'll be able to create after I become more familiar with these techniques! Thank you again!!

    Thanks! It's amazing how similar this is to the way I've always worked (except, I don't do line art, I start with "paint" layer which is what you call flats). Then I put a black layer on top set to saturation to see values & I work on a "luma" layer beneath it where I paint form shading & ambient occlusion. I do this bc it's easier to get the right values when you hide the color. Last, I'll do a few polish layers, like 1 overlay layer for highlights & deeper shadows, & sometimes 1 color layer to add hue variation where I get creative, then finish with filters/ level adjustments/ etc
