Thank you to Clip Studio Paint for sponsoring this video and supporting the channel! In this video, I will be leading a tutorial on how I digitally paint with Clip Studio Paint.

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! 🙏

I've been in art block for like... 3 months. super burnt out and just feeling bad about my art, but this, i think, is going to get me going again! a lot of tutorials/guides don't really work for me because i can't see what tools are being used but seeing how you pick your palettes and use the lasso tool and mix colors, and how you keep control of your edges is just so nice. i think i'm going to learn a lot from you, your art is so pretty the style in terms of anatomy and color is really what i want to achieve, and your voice is so soothing too

@baizhuwaitingroom7057 20 днів тому

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 18 днів тому

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!

Beautiful piece, I love it! It seems like that would be sort of a rare moment for them, with all the monster hunting and all. 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
