Alif Kabir The Joy of Digital Painting 😂

Good one

What i do for painting into lineart is merge all the layers on a piece (base, shadow, lineart, etc...), then naturally incorporate the lines into the painting as thin shadows, or if the background permits it, remove the lineart by replacing it with more of whatever color(s) is near it. Bad description, i know, but think of the lines as the end of the curved surface that you're looking at and imagine how the light might affect how that surface looks while it is perpendicular to you.

Yes please!!

what I do is do the lineart then put in the colors in a layer under it, then color the lineart to a color similar to the layer/s below, copy the lineart (just in case you mess it up) then merge it with the color and paint away!

You should check out borodante's channel. He is really good at turning a sketch into a full fledged painting. I learned a lot from him just by watching him draw. He also explains the process of how he paints. So highly recommend him

yesss please

I took a screenshot of your comment sir :) i know i can google it but can i ask if u can share in your own understanding what ambient occlusion and bloom effect is? :)

If I can overstep and reply to this. It is the general darkness around the edge of forms when they meet a surface. Or bloom effect is a way to expose an image to a glowy sort of effect. So the highest highlights gets blown out first and then the rest.

MaverickArrowMusik i have to agree there

You're not going to like everything a KZfaqr puts out or agree with everything they say. Doesn't mean their content has gone 'downhill' it just means it's for someone else.

If you follow Sycra you would know that he knows that alot of folk dont like TSPP he addressed it and simply said dont watch it if you dont like it so I dont watch it. He's allowed to be introspective and do a series on his art issues or wtv its supposed to be about but it does feel like a case of bait and switch. Imagine if you subbed to Sinix for art tutorials and suddenly he starts reviewing weird products from Amazon. Id say it'd be somewhat accurate to say that the channel went downhill if something like that happens. Pretty much the same thing if you subscribe for art tutorials and speedpaints and then get nothing but 2hour plus babblings

I'll watch the TSPP when I get time because it may have useful info but even the livestreams had some paintings going on, sometimes Bobmeatbag drew and Sycra talked for hours which I still found lots better than the current format of TSPP. I really miss seeing Sycra's style though.

comments like this suddenly sound like you're an assassin and the light people are knights

Oh my god maybe that is the answer to everything

Was your teacher Palpatine?

Me too

Mad if you're not seeing a harsh shadow then there's more than one light source. And secondary light source can be any colour, so it is not always a different colour.

It's not dumb at all! Secondary light is any color. Imagine that you're in a room with the light on, but the sunlight is also coming in through the window - you now have two light sources, approximately the same color. Try this exercise: Look at photos (selfies, photos with friends, photos of people in a strip club - doesn't matter) and determine the light source. First step is to list your light sources, once you've found them. Oftentimes, you'll find more than one. Even if there is only one strong dominating light source (unlikely unless if it is purposefully shot in an environment with one sole light source), you'll find that there is still "reflected light" on the subject. Second step of the exercise: you want to circle/make note of where you're seeing the reflected light and how it interacts with the subject. You'll understand lighting much better this way and see how these details can so easily be classified as "light and shadow". One simple place to see reflected light is on the under side of people's noses. You'll usually see the "reflected light" off of their t-shirt and sometimes have a very soft reflection of green or whatever color it is. :)

Tee Kay put it perfectly, light ends up bouncing around and ends up hitting objects from many angles, explaining the ambient lighting and mid tones in the video. Depending the strength of the source it might be more direct and become primary and secondary light sources. The color can vary from the source itself or what the light is bouncing off of. A good book on this to pick up if you ever get the chance is Color and Light by James Gourney. It goes over all of this and how to apply it to painting really thoroughly.

Light reflects and bounces around. If someone wears a red shirt, even light from the sky can sometimes reflect that color to other places. This is why painters outside often have to be careful of the clothes they are wearing because it can affect what they are seeing.

It just looks like a shadow in comparison since there is 2 strong lights, also, since almos every part of the body is iluminated, there will be almost no shadows, and the ones that do, are not that strong, think of it like this: the midtone or local tone is afected mostly by the primary light, and the shadow part is afected by the bounced or reflected light, so if there is a lot of light, there will be a lot of reflected light, and that light will be making the shadow lighter than it would be otherwise

That's what makes watercolour so challenging. I've been doing digital for 15± years, took up watercolours 2 years ago. So yeah, I'd say with (pure) watercolour if you want this kind of effect you'd have to plan ahead. Maybe use a scrap piece of paper and mix your skin tones to see if the colours and values you had in mind works with the watercolour biases you are using. As you said, glazing may be an option. In watercolour we usually work from light to dark. In Sinix's video he naturally works from dark to light. I can't see how that would be possible without initial planning and masking (in pure watercolour). But if you're cool with adding gouache or acrylic, that might be able to accommocate this style better.
