The simplifying of lighting boiled down to sunlight/non-sunlight is an absolute game changer and really clicked as something I can more easily wrap my brain around when I’m trying to simplify my process!! Thank you for this, everything was explained so nicely and was super helpful.
This is a 2 yr old video but I felt the need to comment that your sunlight/bounce light/blur layer technique is going to simplify my process soso much, and as someone who isn’t familiar with color or color theory it is much needed. Thank you for this incredibly informative video!
1. By selecting pixels on existing layers, color the whole painting on color layer mode (base colors layer) 2. Copy and merge the whole thing and copy the layer again to brighten it with curves and warm it up with color balance (light layer) 3. Now you have the base layer and light layer. In between put a new layer and clip the light layer to it. By painting on that layer you reveal the sun light. 4. Add bounce light in the shadows
Going over the "warm light makes cool shadows" and environmental backlighting is so important. I only just recently discovered this and my work greatly benefits from it! Seeing it in action and hearing your explanation is wonderful and I wish I had found you way sooner. Thank you for teaching! ❤❤❤
this was insanely helpful, I've been looking for a tutorial like this for days now but you seem to be the only one I've found who covered this topic so well. Thank you!
What you started doing at 7:42 is mindblowing! I never saw that step in the millions of tutorials I've watched. This boosts me to try drawing an environment again after several disappointments ❤🥺
Thanks a lot for this tutorial! I checked many of tutorials for this theme but none of them were in Procreate and I really like your results! Also I use procreate for over a year and never realized how perspective tool works :’D
Oh my god thank you. I just got into digital art and this is the first video I’ve found in the entire two months I’ve been doing it that actually answered my questions and helped me understand the process instead of telling me the skills I need to have (because I already have the skills from traditional)
This was incredibly helpful - I def need to try the technique with the lights and Gaussian blur on separate layers. Thank you for sharing this knowledge and skill!
THANK YOU!! Every other channel was just shooing away procreate artists and showing Clipstudio and Photoshop grayscale to color with gradient mapping. This is so fun and makes everything go faster!
I really love your technique at the end when you blur things out and erase the foreground! Such a great tip to know 🥰 Also love how you add sunlight and bounce light by duplicating and adjusting the saturation Arrrg so cool! Thank you 🥰🙏🏽
i am surprised you only have 10k subscribers,, this is a professional level tutorial and very straight to the point and short. I haven't got my tablet but I'll definitely keep this tutorial in mind, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques! I would usually stop at layering base colours when trying to paint on grayscale because it always looked so ugly but now I understand the stages afterward!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! you have no idea how long I've needed to find a proper colouring tutorial!! ie always had trouble with colouring and with procreate itself and I knew I was only good with colouring in greyscale but I thought that I was doing it wrong. Also thank you for showing us how you do the lighting!! :))
This is really helpful for me who didn't even know how to started in digital painting especially the value part. Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial and the artwork is really pleased my eyes. Keep up the good work ✨✨
thank you so much for telling us the detail of the layers, not many artist do that in tutorials but that is actually really helpful for beginners like me!
Your videos are incredibly useful! I didn't know the full process to go from grayscale to color and was just doing the color application. Now I think I can make more finished drawings.
I'm 3 years late to the video but thank you so much for sharing this amazing process! I've been in a funk lately but this has gotten me excited to try it out! Thank you again!
I love your artwork. Watching you do one, just blew my mind! I’ve never thought of using “saved selections” to stay within layers, or editing procreates curve/colors, or using a clipping mask to reveal those bright Sun colors. Now excuse, I’m going to watch every other video you’ve ever done. Truly amazing work, with a clear description. Thank you.
I have been trying to find a tutorial on how the heck you're supposed to turn a grayscale painting into a color one for FOREVER and haven't been able to find one, thank you so much for making this!!
That part about the Sunlight took me to the God lightbulb moment. This helped me understand how beauty is found in everything. And how they rise in intensity of their energies. It's how the energies play off of the contrasts of other energies': depths and heights of color and value. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I rarely comment on videos, but I really, really appreciated this so much that I can't just click off without expressing how I love this video so much! As someone who is just starting with digital art, this is the only video where I actually learned and understood how painting using grayscale works. Thank you so much for posting this!
Amazing! So glad I found your video! After looking at so many greyscale to color videos… I found yours which is the best. It was incredibly helpful. Thank you 😊
This is awesome! Been trying to work more this way lately to make sure my values are better defined, can’t wait to apply some of these methods to what I’ve been doing! Crazy to think I’ve been using procreate for over 5 years and still get shown new things lol (Also thank god you noticed the issue with the Sun I was getting worried 😂)
This tutorial is so helpful. I always had trouble in choosing colors and making them look cohesive in my art but I tried this technique in my recent one and it worked really well. Made it so much easier for me! Thank you so much ❤
Fantastic work, and very helpful for this method of painting! It clears up a lot of confusion about the process of going from value to color. Would love to see how you did the initial black and white value painting. It's very kind of you to share your knowledge with us, regardless!
what an amazing human you are! so much information is put into this video in a way that teaches and inspires everyone who watches. like, seriously! out of all the tutorials I've seen on grayscale painting, yours is the first that makes me want to immediately pick up my pen. so thank you so very much! 💛💗💛
Hi! Once again, I learnt a lot from your video! It seems so much more convenient to have the correct values in place and then fill in with colours. Here is a question from myself as a total beginner: Is there any exercises that we could practise to achieve harmonious values? How should we approach painting values as beginners?
I'm glad it was useful! I would do a lot of photos studies! Find good references with different camera angles, greyscale them and copy them. I think I would do that as a beginner
thank you so much for this tutorial! i always struggled with painting sunlight and your method with the extra layer and clipping mask is so so helpful and smart!! I will definitely do it like that from here on so THANK YOU!
I was at awe when you showed how effectively you tried out the color palettes around based on the time of the day the artwork would have. can't wait to someday have that level of coloring skill! Have always done black and white, pen and paper and now jumping to digital i've been at loss with colors. thank you for such a easy to understand and informative tutorial! Do you always start your pieces with black and white and add color on it like this? or do you use other methods for lets say character concept or such. as you said the color you pick isn't the same when used on a blending mode layer and it feels a bit weird but you see if the color works or not nonetheless.
It depends on how I feel it would be the better pipeline! Sometimes I start with values, some other times I prefer to start directly with colours and try to keep the values in check with a black layer on top that shows me the grey scale version of my painting. One thing is for sure, values can't be overlooked 😊
Have you ever tried clipping a Gradient Map layer to your values' layer? I feel like I can experiment with colours without losing the original brush strokes.

I would absolutely love to see a tutorial on how to do the initial sketch :3
Will post it than ☺️
@@Ariabba whate brushes do you use ?
@@Zazash_91 I use the round brush in the painting section and sometimes the flat brush or the airbrush
@@Ariabba thx
One tip, paint in shapes. Alot of artist paint like they are sketching or drawing which is not recommended to achieve a painterly look and feel.
1. By selecting pixels on existing layers, color the whole painting on color layer mode (base colors layer)
2. Copy and merge the whole thing and copy the layer again to brighten it with curves and warm it up with color balance (light layer)
3. Now you have the base layer and light layer. In between put a new layer and clip the light layer to it. By painting on that layer you reveal the sun light.
4. Add bounce light in the shadows
this entirely changed my worldview of digital art and i'm so excited to pick up my ipad and use these techniques for a new piece 💖
Glad I could help!

Thank you so much for showing the layers. Gives me an idea of how to start background designing!!! Not all artist do that!

So I am actually not dumb I just need to learn more. Thank you for this one!😃
