Hey man . I really really love your vidoes . A lot of things I know about art and the processes which I try to implement in my works is because of you . But recently it seems like proko has just become a promotional KZfaq channel for your Proko Courses . I know they are excellent courses but you have to understand that not everyone can afford them , especially people in the Indian subcontinent . It's a treat to watch Alex work and to learn from him but I think a lot of people , including me , would like to see some basics about digital painting in detail . Like how you taught us how to draw face / hair / hands etc . Thankyou for all your help to aspiring artists like me . ❤️

He nailed it when he said that alot of great artist decide not to be colorist. I did it for a while and the tight timelines was way to stressful and took the fun out it. If I'm not having fun then I don't want to do it. If I ever started doing colors again it would be just be for covers or pinups.

Hi quick question! I’m looking for a rotating brush like the one being used in the smoke detail. It looks like a smoke edgy blob and it rotates every time it’s put down. What is it? How can I get it for procreate? Thank you in advance!! Love all your videos!

@ProkoTV 7 ай бұрын

Those kinds of settings can be changed in your brush properties. You'll be looking for the area where you can see things like "jitter" and other settings of that nature. I don't have any recommendations for specific brushes you can buy for it but hope that playing with your brush settings helps give you what you need.

Still not understand.. Hows that chanel works without separated to the other layers. How does he selected the smoke? If i do that using magic wand, it will select the entire similar color.. Can you make more tutorial about this colorimg techniques proko? Thanks

@ProkoTV Жыл бұрын

When he chose to color the smoke, he used the lasso tool to select the area he wanted colored. That's what he's doing as he's slowing clicking around that part of the lines.

@asimian8500 Жыл бұрын

There's another way to do it without using channels: separating the page into panels, background, foreground, and flats. It's not a lot of work as you're going to be doing all of this work for the flats anyways. What it does do is allow you to make easy selections using the magic wand in intersection mode. This way you can select specific elements and render or change color or whatever easily. Professional comic colorist (Color with Kurt) has a YT channel which goes into detail. The other recommendation is to use Clip Studio Paint as it's designed for every element of the comic book/manga creation pipeline including coloring.

Could somebody help explain rgb vs cmyk please? from my understanding, rgb is best for digital, but cmyk is best best for printing? I'm still new to this, apologies~

@colin2715 Жыл бұрын

That's right. RGB is for digital work and contains a larger selection of colours than CMYK. You should only convert your file to CMYK if it's intending to be put on a printing press or screen printed.

@rrooddmmaan Жыл бұрын

@@colin2715 hi, if im drawing a comission to be printed once... I should convert it yo Cmyk?

@colin2715 Жыл бұрын

@@rrooddmmaan no, you should keep it in RGB. If it's not being printed in a mass quantity (hundreds or thousands), then it will likely be printed digitally on an inkjet or copier. Keep it in RGB still, the colours will print better. In fact, even if it were to go to a printing press, you should leave it up to the print shop to handle colour conversion, unless you really know what you're doing

I already had the talent to do the colors on comics but don't know how to start or apply as a colorist. Any tip?

@ProkoTV 20 күн бұрын

Make connections with people you see doing line work on the Internet or at conventions. Ask them if it's okay for you to color some of their work that they've posted publicly or just go for it and post that online saying that you colored it and who the original lines were by. Once you build up that body of work you can show off, that makes a colorist portfolio that you can share when you see people who work in comics post that they're looking for someone who does colors. There are other ways but that's a solid start!

Probably artifact of the video capture software that didn't catch part of his movements. And the little triangle is just a custom brush he created due to, as he stated on the video interview, it allows him to create interesting shapes easily compared to the default round brushes.
