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! 🙏

One of the main things that i just havent seen people show is like _how_ do you use your brushes yk? Like with traditional brushes ive seen videos for like 'do this and this with that brush to get xyz' but i dont think ive ever seen something like that for digital brushes.. Like just how do you controll the brushes.. what size goes well for what, how do you work with/get the opacity, the way you move for it? Like it might seem a bit much.. but ive been trying to figure it out and as someone who doesnt get things untill theyre spelled out for me it just doesnt work. It still just feels like randomly mashing around.. Theres some videos on general things like digital brush/edge controll or the gradient maps (which are usefull too) but ive never seen anyone talk about _how_ they use specific brushes in their art.. Its just been kinda stuck in my head idk

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)

As you get better at painting you will naturally speed up. In most cases, making sure your foundation is solid will prevent so much reworking and re-painting in the future, which will save you alot of time already

@baizhuwaitingroom7057 4 ай бұрын

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!

@sketchesofshay 4 ай бұрын

that's such a great mindset to have! I defintely want to try and think the same way, and yeah def recommend trying to use gradient maps!

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
