How I Color Washes & Grayscale Art

In this video, I'll explain how I color drawings that include gray values such as ink washes or grayscale drawings. I'll be using Clip Studio Paint Pro, but almost any digital art app with blending modes will work.

Thank you so much for this. This is hands down the best tutorial for this. Other ones don't go into detail about how to handle the values. This is what i was looking for!

I already knew how Overlay worked and yet it had not occurred me to use it to color picking 50% value colors. This is a game changer really. Thank you so much!

Thanks Kurt, I was looking for something to colorize my b&w ink washes and this was perfect!

Thank you so much, Kurt, this is really useful!

This was very helpful Kurt, thanks! Is this the same process you'd use for a style that uses light washes? Like say if the washes are there to soften the blacks but aren't necessarily doing all the rendering of form? Or would you color that with your more traditional method?

This is such good advice. Thank you for the knowledge nuggets. Lol.
