If you were ever wondering how I get the colors in some of my pieces, this is my secret (and now, not so secret) method.

I put this together since I’ve gotten a few questions on how I go about designing and um… yeah! I really hope it’s helpful to someone out there. Edit: This tutorial is going to be featured in Facility Magazine, a magazine chalk full of amazing artists and resources from all over the internet! The first issue is currently in the works. You can keep your eyes peeled for when you can buy your own copy here: http://facilitymag.com/index.html

such a great and inspiring tutorial :D I don’t do a lot of this stuff enough, like flipping… and I love the method of taking the thumbnail gesture and just drawing over it.

[innocentassassin-deactivated201]

[caffeinecoma]

I can’t believe this is still going around and people are actually getting a use out of it like wow I thought i rambled and wrote way too much and just…just….yeah…. man, you’re totally welcome!!  Gosh guys, you’re incredible I’m so happy you’re inspired!

I need this for my designs..

note that it works best with thin lineart (I used SAI2 for this, but I think you can use any art program  with a overlay layer mode)

[lao-huangs-bitch]

Aight so I’ve been testing out this trick for about 3 months now and Ive learned some useful things abt getting this to work that OP didn’t mention, so if you’re like me and just now learning abt this here’s some useful things to know:

1. This trick is done under the assumption that the colors are underneath the lines. If you do this on a pic and you notice a lot of black/white/off-colored spots, it’s because your flats/colors arent under the lineart, which can be v tricky to get right

2. Because of this, it’s best to do this lineart trick FIRST, BEFORE you lay down your flats/colors, so you can be sure your colors are where they’re supposed to be

3. If your lines are thicker (I know mine are), a suggested thing to try is select everything outside of your image (NOT inside), inverse the selection (DO NOT change the expansion), then lay down some neutral color like the skin tone. This way there is color under all of the lines

4. This is just a suggestion, but for me I noticed using a VERY dark and desaturated navy blue instead of black for the top overlay layer looks more vibrant if that’s your thing

5. Idk if it’s just my slow ass but I found the explanation for which layer is what kinda confusing, but its:

Top layer: Black on Overlay setting Bottom: Purple layer on normal with desired opacity level

But I love this trick esp on sketched pictures and I thank OP for the easy hack

Maybe pick you fav and tell me what mood/atmosphere they show to you? A few colour and lighting experiments i’m doing while i work on a tutorial for simple shading, knowing what you think might help me improve it! These are all using the same base colours and the same technique but in different ways, i’ll cover that in the tutorial.
