GRAYSCALE to COLOR | Digital Painting Tutorial

Hi friends ♡
These past few weeks were crazy! My thesis presentation is right around the corner (I’m graduating soon woohoo!), and I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish recording and editing this video. But here I am editing it until 5am (* ´ο`*) so I might sound a little sleepy haha. I really hope you find this video helpful. I’m going to sleep now. Enjoy the video ~

This was so helpful! I don't really use grayscale in my drawings but I've been looking at grayscale tutorials because I feel like it could help me draw faster/more efficiently (because I can concentrate on values and anatomy first and don't have to worry about colours until later)... Your art is really really good btw!

Wuh, this is exactly what I was looking for in semi-realistic art. I always wanted to render them to look 3d. You are very skilled, would love to learn how you rendered it so beautifully in greyscale. Well done, teach me your ways lol ❤

Can you do a tutorial on how you do the greyscale I just don't know, your artstyle is really good keep going🤗

[Andrew_FX]

This is the right way to do grayscale to color, actually you can add the color first [normal mode layer], then copy the color layer and conver it to black and white, this way you will have your values saved, then add the shadows on the black and white layer and then move the colors on top of the shadows layer and change it it color mode.
This process is way differnet than adding multiply layer on top of the color layer to add shadows.
