My only complaint about this approach is how many layers it requires to get that desired look. I'm sure you can just merge some to an extent, but it can get super daunting to have so many layers, especially with more complex images. I'm glad to see grayscale colorized with such beautiful colors, though. My biggest fear was it looking washed out or 'muddy'. I'll definitely give this a try.

I really wish one of these videos could show the shading process in Grayscale 🙂. Everybody is concerning from Grayscale to colour and I'm trying to learn how to create Grayscale 🙂

Woah!? I have 30+ drawings that i left in white and black and gray XD this is helpful!

Thank you for your videos. Your voice is so soothing but also you give good advice.

I've been waiting this since you tell us. so excited!!!

perfect, this is exactly what I needed!

I am surprised that you always manage to make me understand complicated things with simple steps

I've always struggled to use the greyscale first approach. Breaking it down like this makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the video!

All the other artist had to teach quantum physics in order to get us to even understand how to do grayscale but this seemed so easy.

This video is great! I always struggle with muddy colors when coloring from grayscale, but now I understand more about it. I think my next grayscale to color piece will be much better. Thanks Josh!!

The whole start of the layer mode intro I'm only staring at the Razer Tartarus at the side there with want xDD It's not the most expensive but for my local currency the price is much oof ANYWAY this is the most concise tutorial for this sort of coloring method I've seen ever. Most people just show one method and speed through the process. I appreciate you including the what, why and how things are done :D

Thank you! I have been trying to use greyscale more in my work and this will definitely help me out. Also this piece is still so pretty :D

Why couldn’t I find this video when I was trying to learn how to colourise my greyscale paintings? I searched and couldn’t find anything like this. So I had to learn the hard way, and happily I can see I’m using the right process. I use Procreate on iPad and I used to have so much trouble doing digital art, I found it fiddly and time consuming. Too many colours, too many brushes etc. So I decided to try something different. Originally being a graphite drawer, I decided to “draw” in greyscale, and use only one brush for each painting. It was a game changer. I massively improved. Afterwards I figured out how to colourise my greyscale paintings. I make a separate layer on top, set it to “colour” and then I use the Medium Blend brush to paint my colours. Sometimes I might even use the gradient map beforehand to colourise it faster. But MAN I could have watched this video back then!

Thank you! I’m probably going to start drawing with grayscale now

Thanks for the tutorial. It is great to know the breakdown of different workflows. Definetly worth watching! Plus giving away teh PSD is a really nice touch. Appreciate it!

HONEY WAKE UP NEW ERGOJOSH JUST DROPPED

Your voice is soooo relaxing

your way of presenting is so calm and nice ;D

Yass I have a black and white drawing to color ✨

Great video as usual Josh! About the issue of one can't do grayscale well, I'm interpreting that to mean that we can't get good details compared to digitaly painting it. If that's the case, then it's more process intensive to add more detail in isn't it?

I once tried painting in gray scale xD but it turned out OK (quite xD) but with this I understand a little more the process Thank you Ergojosh !!!

I have been looking for a video like this, thank you very much for helping me

2:55 It's so true! If I've drawn a grayscale scene with lots of brush stroke detail, then I don't know how to add color while keeping the detail

What about using the Neural Filters to colorize black and white as a starting point and that tweak it later? Have you played around with some of the new filters?

Fantastic tutorial, thank you for sharing your process! I learned a lot about color in addition to the painting process.

stellar portrait study 💗

I love your shirt 🥺🥺🥺 thanks for the tutorial!!

You give a lot of good information thanks for this video.

IVE BEEN WITING FOR THIS !!

Check out the Wacom One Here! ▶ go.magik.ly/ml/1cogi/ Get a copy of the PSD file Here: ▶ ergojosh.gumroad.com/l/lEEdz Also, since I didn't mention it in the video: you can do this in ANY program that has blending modes/layers. Photoshop, Procreate, CSP, Krita, Medibang, etc. The only thing that may be missing is the gradient map and masking features.

I'm really curious about how you extracted the color for the first pic and added it back, how did you do it? It looks impressive

nicely abstracted, donno if thats a word :)

Man, I loved you, you are amazing you have a great job. I will start following your videos more, you are very good at what you do, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks a lot for this video.

this is great

Can you teach out to do this with brown or black skin?

great tutorial! thanks friend :)

How would you do this for a dark skin character like Mel from Arcane? Thank you for this video really helpful ❤️

Can you make a tutorial about how you do grayscale as well ?

РАДИОВОЛНА)) откуда такая футболка у тебя?

Your voice is very nice♥

Sorry about my dumb question but where can I get link to understand what you mean when you say skin value of girl is '10' as I know about black thru white 1-10 values of greyscales inc white and blank but you mention the skin tone specifically which is a 10 but it a skin colour of her ethnic group so not from the black grey tones etc it looks a slightly pink to "sort of ruddy complexion" - what are you using to get to that value in colours??

love

i never been that early to a big channel before :|

This helps alot! I been stuck on grayscale practice...I change tone of the drawing but end up flopped.

Так неожиданно видеть футболку с русским шрифтом!

I didn't understand much, but I'm gonna save this video for later lol

крутая футболка

how about a Hard Light greyscale (with a gradient map) on top of a flat color layer? It's what I use and I was wondering what flaws that work process has from someone more experienced XD

we need same tutorial in procreate master

very useful video, thank you. Please make the same video for procreat. Separate respect for радиоволна!))

How do you the ony color layer? I mean how to segregate a picture into value layer and color layer like yours?

yayy

great tutorial! How did you get your reference embedded in photoshop window? Im slightly mind fugged. been trying to do this for ever now

❤️

Question egro when you did the color part..did you keep the greyscale visible or hide it once done?

Hey ErgoJosh, Have you replaced CSP for PHOTOSHOP?

where can i buy this NFT i want to be a proud owner of this item

👍👍

We need an audio tutorial. Srsly ur audio is unparallal

Ergopro+

what method recommeded for new beginner artist that want to learn digital art? using grayscale or just paint with color already?

What is a PSD file?

yoooooooooooo
