Learn how to PAINT in GREYSCALE! (Values) | TUTORIAL

Learning VALUES (Greyscale) in DIGITAL PAINTING is pretty hard. A lot of things come down to constant study and exercise. Here I explain what are values in digital art and why many artists choose to paint in greyscale before switching to colour.

This was incredibly helpful. I don't see many videos that actually teach you about greyscale and how to start out. Thanks for this!!!

I've been watching youtube videos for a year now to learn how to paint and I've never seen anything about grayscales. I was blocked because when I try to color I don't know what colors to use and everything looks like a little kid painted it and I think that following your advice I will finally be able to move forward. Thank you so much for all the content you share, I find it tremendously useful and it is super relaxing to watch you paint. 🥰

For those who have software that doesn't work well with adding color to grayscale and makes your work 1000x harder, I'd recommend using a monochromatic scale of, say blues. Just never go fully white or fully black, but very close. You can easily adjust darks ot black or lights to whites later if needed. I will often keep a tab with the scale I'm in, so I can pick the colors if the color wheel decides to reset.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEOOOO T^T I swear I was getting frustrated about how I worry all the time about what palettes match or not, when I simply just forgot about values, I'll apply this on my future artworks, you taught me better how to make art

I really enjoy your art style and have been trying to adopt something like that. I would love to see a video where you talk about the shading techniques that you use. Thanks for you videos! God bless:-)

This is what I always lacked, I always did black and white and despised my work after adding color because the last thing I did was add depth and light and it just never worked well and I felt like a little kid. I now know greyscale is what has always been missing. Thank you for this and sharing. Like others mentioned, no one ever talks about this. They give you steps that can be understood but when it comes down to incorporating them you are overwhelmed and don’t know what to do first or get stuck midway through because it’s just not turning out how you pictured it. I sketched out a scene I’ve wanted to do for so long, but when it came down to adding texture, light, depth, I honestly got overwhelmed because it’s no simple piece with multiple focus points, from a upward pov of a cottage in a forest to a path that follows down to a beach, and ocean and the distant mountains, and now I know where to go from there. So thank you

I was struggling with coloring my art and I didn’t know what specifics to search for or where to start. This helped me a bunch, and now my coloring looks so much better! Thank you so much :D

I always used to think of grayscale as a weird and boring light study but JEEZ I actually really needed this to improve! Thank you!

I'm currently struggling with drawing a forest background for an illustration. Sometimes it's really hard to pick fitting colours, especially when drawing backgrounds and not characters. I remembered seeing some tips about values and came across this video, it explained it so well, I'll go try it out!

[shravankumar]

Wow.. you teach this all big topics so casually..where people takes so much of time and money for it... Amazing work.. keep it up.

[jessicabuttigieg]

Thank you for all the information you put through this videos. I've been searching a lot about this subject as I'm self taught, and you couldn't have explained it any better

[Brachiophore]
