Laying colour tints over your reference photo for artists

In this short video I show you how you can use HEX codes to create and lay tints over your reference photo to help you visualise when wanting to try a monochromatic approach to a piece.

      Yes I can but not everyone else can. This is just a tool to help EVERYONE have access to using colour pencils. Some get scared at the thought of trying to get a relatively good image transferred onto their support and not many had the privilege of going to art college like I did. People can use whatever method they like. Do you prefer to freehand?

    Excellent video thanks. Almost all the other Gimp videos that describe this process , the screen image isn't clear and sharp. The voices are often muffled and worse they seem to try and rush through it as quickly as possible making it almost useless as an instructional video. The only way is to turn on subtitles and continually backspace the video to try and pick out what they just selected. I will be viewing your other video's thanks again. Regards Owen (from Down Under)

    To save all that printer ink I put my photo into an app on my iPad, then on a ‘layer’ I draw all the outline and detail. I then print this simple line drawing to whatever size I want. If it’s larger than A4 I print it off in sections ☺️

    • @AnimalArtbyLAW
      @AnimalArtbyLAW Před 2 měsíci

      Yes, that is another method that I show my students how to do it. I try to show as many different options possible from using a light box to creating line art digitally or like this simply printing off the reference. The print out can then be used throughout the drawing process as a reference

    I am working on my very first dog portrait on tan paper. In colored pencil. I've always liked the bokeh effect but never tried it.

    Ever designed your friskets digitally, then downloaded the files to a plotter to cut them out using frisket paper? Makes life a heck of a lot easier.

    • @AnimalArtbyLAW
      @AnimalArtbyLAW Před 2 měsíci

      That's a great idea for those who might have one. I don't use the frisket often and this was just a method I shared yo make people aware of the product. To justify the price of a plotter I would need to utilise it much more but hopefully someone out there might read your suggestion and have access to one.

    Wow, I am absolutely blown away by your artwork of foxes! The level of detail and the vibrant colors you used are simply mesmerizing. Each brushstroke seems to bring the foxes to life, capturing their grace and cunning in a way that feels both realistic and magical. The way you’ve managed to depict their fur with such texture and depth is nothing short of extraordinary. It looks so soft and fluffy that I almost want to reach out and pet them! Your choice of background perfectly complements the foxes, creating a harmonious balance that draws the viewer’s eye to the main subjects while still providing a rich, immersive environment. The light and shadow work is phenomenal, adding a dynamic and almost three-dimensional quality to the piece. I can tell that you put a lot of thought into every aspect, from the composition to the smallest details, and it really shows. The expressions on the foxes’ faces are incredibly expressive and full of character. It’s clear that you have a deep understanding of these beautiful creatures, and your passion for them shines through in your work. The playful glint in their eyes, the curious tilt of their heads, and the fluid motion of their bodies all contribute to a narrative that feels alive and engaging. It’s like you’ve captured a moment in time in the wild, allowing us to glimpse the secret world of these fascinating animals. I could spend hours admiring every intricate detail and still find new things to appreciate each time I look. Your talent is truly remarkable, and this artwork is a testament to your skill and creativity. Thank you for sharing such an awe-inspiring piece with us. It’s not just a drawing of foxes; it’s a captivating story and a work of art that evokes wonder and admiration. You are incredibly gifted, and I can’t wait to see more of your amazing creations!

    Fabulous. I watched because I’m very interested in how Panpastels can help to fill tooth and cover larger areas in colored pencil drawings. I worry about the loss of media purity in the final result. Is it cheating? lol. But, I think my personality lends itself more to a workable shortcut to achieve a similar result. I’m anxious to see if you can achieve the same photorealistic cat by the end of the video! I’m subscribed and look forward to adding your knowledge and techniques to my current classes. Thanks!!!
