This is a fabulous breakdown!! I've only recently found your channel and I've already learned so much & rediscovered a hunger for *learning* again, not just doing. I've been reeeally struggling with the greyscale -> gradient map -> color & render workflow... I get stuck trying to use color & saturation layers, and have a hard time knowing how much to use them, rather than jump in with an opaque layer... I'd love to learn more in a future video (or from a recommended video, if you have one on hand!) about separating areas of the painting and using different gradient maps for each, coordinating them, using color/saturation layers, etc! 🙏

ok but i LOVE how you're not afraid of taking YOUR TIME to make the best drawing you can...i always struggle with time because i want to make things in a short period and i love how you are doing thins in your own pace and seeing whats best..loveeeee

the process is the most enjoyable for me!! why rush when you can have fun exploring and figuring things out hehe (some projects do require rush due to clients but when it's a personal piece, i don't mind taking my time hehe)

Time to change my art style after seeing someone else’s again😔🔫

as a completely self-taught artist I often struggle to find videos that aren't for super-beginners that are really helpful for me. this video is literally a goldmine and I'm so glad I found it!! thank you for your literally constantly amazing content

i adore how you can really see their personalities in this!! saul being such a happy golden retriever type while bill seems more reserved and hesitant to show his emotions!!

still can't get over how pretty your art style is 💕

SHAYYYYYYYYYYYYY ‼️‼️‼️‼️ I WAS WATCHING YOUR VIDS ALL DAY YOUR MY FAVOURITE COMFORT KZreadR

Thank you for your process, Shay!! I always wondered how people use adjustment layers and greyscales, I might have to try it out!

Awww they look so cute together

Thank you so much for making this video! Ive been really struggling with coloring and am really new to coloring in grayscale. Its a real science and wasnt sure where to even start. I want to try anf follow this process with these brushes too. Thank you again your videos are an inspiration.

Loooooooooove those type of videos ! struggling a lot with digital painting rn !

I love when you add links to videos. It helps a lot since I always want to go deeper in a subject, but don’t know we’re to start. Could you please keep doing it?

you are my favourite artist and my idol, I love so much your videos, please never stop making them :D

Thanks for the content, buddy! Your videos are so useful and interesting!

It's really awesome to see your digital painting process! I use CSP too but have always been intimidated to try a full painting. Watching your video and seeing all the resources is so helpful! Also love the painting of the boys, love a sweet OC moment

AAAHH i always love watching your art process. from the sketching down to the coloring and refinements, you make it look so fun ☕️

your arts are so inspiring and you’re super helpful for my art journey!!!!!!🫶

omg i found artemus brushes about a year ago and they're still my go to brushes for everything from sketching to rendering! its so yummy

Shane is my favourite artist I could watch these videos over and over again

that´s it: i am oficially in love with your artwork

i love artemus omgg!!!

What a lovely walkthrough

THIS IS SUCH AN EXCELLENT VIDEO AAAAA thank you for sharing your process, i really struggle with compositions, lighting and overall depth so your explanation is really helpful!! it's a wonderful illustration, i love the whole theme and colour scheme so much!!

That's super helpfull and amazing to follow your thoughtprocess and process in general ! I want to elevate my illustration making skill too and it will help a lot thanks !

oh my gosh ur tip about the local values combined with the gradient map for the color atmosphere is such a godsend, esp as someone at the stage who paints in greyscale first! love ur tutorials

Bless you for this

your videos are always addicting, thank you for this lovely video :)

RAHHH I LOVE THEM 😭😭😭😭

I've been in art block for like... 3 months. super burnt out and just feeling bad about my art, but this, i think, is going to get me going again! a lot of tutorials/guides don't really work for me because i can't see what tools are being used but seeing how you pick your palettes and use the lasso tool and mix colors, and how you keep control of your edges is just so nice. i think i'm going to learn a lot from you, your art is so pretty the style in terms of anatomy and color is really what i want to achieve, and your voice is so soothing too

i love how you drew the black guy

Me encantan tus videos 🥺 y sibte todo cuando explicas tu proceso y todo ❤❤❤ me encanta tu manera de pintar!!! Muchas gracias por hacer éstos videos

Waaaaait I didn’t kno there was a simple mode this changes everything for me

YAY I LOVE ART PROCESSES!!! holy shit i forgot gradient maps exist, i definitely want to give it a go instead of starting with color first. i have been doing more monochrome first with my skecth, so this is helpful!!!

Hehehe next vid is the 4/13 one as I'm so excited :oDD!!! (alsoo, I never comment on the actual vid sorry, they're really good and I think your voice is just so nice to listen to I simply don't have any feedback, keep up the amazing work :o3 )

ARTEMUS MY FAV TOOOO

Subscribed 😝 this painting is so cute

Ur literally one of the top artists that I regularly think about, cuz tell me why when Honkai Star rail introduced Boothill; I immediately thought about u first. Whenever anything cowboy related pops up, ur always the first person that comes to mind 😭

LETS GO NEW VIDEO

This ilustrations taste to me, like, the Teletubbies Sundae with Jelly, Syrup and fruits and now im hungry... Beautiful and colorful piece.

Arrasa muito shay❤

I love this! I recently added an app to my Chromebook called Infinite Painter (I think that's what it's called) and I really like practicing digital drawing on it. I also love it because it can be a nice alternative to paper if I just want to scribble because that way I'm not wasting paper 😊

It's really interesting to see your process! I find that over the years I gradually started adapting traditional painting methods into my digital art and when I create (since I want it to look as organic as possible), I just imagine I'm using gouache or oils. I also use as few layers as possible and consciously limit my palettes, which helps with making the colour composition more cohesive. I use layer modes mainly to tweak little things and I started embracing the imperfections. It helps that I'm often too lazy to actually learn how to use all software features available lol. Gradient maps though might become my new fave!

Do you also have any digital drawing tablets to recommend I'm looking for a tablet so I can finally start learning how to digital draw. I love to colors in the painting its very beautiful.

Beautiful piece, I love it! It seems like that would be sort of a rare moment for them, with all the monster hunting and all. Normally I'd have something more meaningful to say as I tend not to really want to leave just "Nice work!" kind of simple comments, but all I can think about with this piece is that I'd love to just walk up and hug them both. I'd probably get to with Saul, since he's warm and open, but... not Bill. XD

i had a bit of a n unrelated question! i really loved your knight design videos and i had a few ideas for the concept, i was wondering if i could explore my ideas a bit and draw them out and share them with you? i totally understand if you'd dislike it since it's a personal project of yours, but i have some potential cool ideas to add more of the 'original' minotaur lore and to add on stuff for the heart of the forest!
