2025-02-08 15:28:46 +0000 UTCWell thank you very much! Glad the work is being enjoyed that much. Genuinely makes my day. Now then, the process for coloring begins before I get to work on the piece. 1) Whatever color and light I’ll use in entirely dependent on what I’m going to do, what the mood of the piece is, and what color characters in it will have and how can I use complementary colors on it. 2) I am hugely inspired by artists such as Frank Frazetta and Noriyoshi Ohrai, where they use artistic liberties based on a solid foundation of theory in order to emphasize mood and big shapes in their artistic interpretation over a sense of realism. After that, as you can see in the downloadable timelapse videos, I set values after the sketch is done with shadows being on a “Darken” blend mode layer (with black at low opacities to create a gradient) and highlights being on a “Color Dodge” blend mode layer (with 60-65% grey). I don’t go too ham on these settings because I will do it again in color with colored lights and shadows after I add color with a “Color” blend mode layer and then blend everything in the final steps of the painting process. I hope this paints a better picture (no pun intended) of how I do things and why things look the way they do.

Like the layers I get, and the values make up 95% of the piece’s constitution, but the way you color it is so fascinating and it intrigues me so much. Like a highlighter that further enhances the already established values. How do you do that? If ya don’t mind me asking
