OMGGGG Finally a good explanation of digital glazing 😭😭😭😭 THANK YOUUUUUU for showing how it goes for procreate too! It’s been so hard trying to piece together info from photoshop tutorials but using procreate tools😢
aaaa you're welcome and thank you so much for watching! 😍While I was taking Erak Note's course with Procreate I realized how much Procreate needs to let us use temporary blending modes on brushes. I had to make duplicate sets of the brushset to be able to use Dodge and Burn for shadows and lights. I hope they'll make that feature soon TwT But overall I think I could have used just about any drawing app and still be able to follow along - even if there would be a few Photoshop-specific features I couldn't use.
I would also recommend watching how WLOP does his art. It's basically the exact same technique you described here. Thanks for sharing!
I've noticed wlop uses curves to color, but the concept is the same; a lot of artists learn this way because color is so complex that its often helpful to separate value at first and some people don't go back.
Definitely the phrase "less is more" applies very well to the workflow of some artists, I will definitely apply it. Thank you very much for the video!
The samples of Gregor's course remind me of the way that Marc Brunet does his videos. A lot of the masters/teachers use similar techniques.
Ilya Kushinov does a similar "glazing" method as well. Makes doing color really easy and simple especially when all you have to worry about is getting your values correct
Basically glazing…the same way we would paint on canvas with a paintbrush- we translate it into digital.Wowza!
Wow! I've been using a similar glazing method (yet more simplistic and rough) based on painting gray shadows and applying colour later using "Soft light" layers. But your tips are impressive, specially the mask layering aspect. I'll definitely apply some of those techniques into my workflow :D
Thanks for the video and the inspiration!!
I love it when I use a specific technique for something and then discover others using variations of the same technique - it's so inspiring! I'm happy to hear you liked me video ;W; thank you so much for watching!
Thank you! I was starting to get overwhelmed with the course,, I was following along and making a drawing that looked SO MUCH WORSE than his, and he was doing keyboard combos at like 120wpm while I was on a tablet But hearing you explain it in such simple terms has really grounded me enough to continue. The different layers for different body types is not intuitive for me, but I do think I am picking things up with the blending mode and how it can get that luminescent effect the drawings have
the digital glazing you talked about is also a great way for those who have apps that dont have access to the tone curve or gradation map. using the blending layers is a great work around. i use ibis paint x which has the tone curve and the gradation map locked behind a subscription.
Erak is extremely impressive to me, its just so amazing to see how many different ways you can make art while having fun, and being practical.
Thank you for the inspiration and for the new website. Art courses are truly op.
I also love the use of layers that Eric does in the course. All those layers make sense to use photoshop to keep it all together.
That's something that I've learned with procreate for the last year when it came to using your layers wisely and not waisting anything.
I love the anatomy course and I like the explanation on the supper dupper basics. Just keeping all the shapes in mind and in mind for a 3d space is definitely all you need as you try to break down your anatomy.
It's also my experience that when using Procreate you are "forced" to kinda be more thoughtful about layer use XD Whereas in software like Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint I tend to let loose more and have a chaotic layer structure haha! Thank you so much for watching ^3^
@@Nadiaxel Ah Yes. Big Feels here.
Nadiaxel, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, as always, this video made me feel more motivated to improve even more in my arts
People usually only take some pieces of information, so the light, colour and shading tips are things I'll definitely look into
Just wanted to thank you for making this video. Im self taught and I’m now tryin to take some art courses to improve my art and this video helped a TON. SO THANK YOUUU
Hullo Nadia, Wonderful video thanks for sharing your experience with us! You give so much to your viewers and it is truly appreciated! i am enjoying your new character avatar pointing out the key points in your videos! So very sweet! I look forward to seeing your review in a year and how you have continued to grow your expertise!
2:40 is really interesting for me. I always found it much more intuitive and enjoyable to work in grayscale first and then color (as a beginner I obviously lacked some basics and the right knowledge as you have shown here). Some people approached me about it and told me the workflow was impossible because they believed I needed to know the shade of gray of the color I wanted in the final image, talked me out of it, and persuaded me to adopt their style/workflow (they were professional artists, so I believed them). I lost the fun of sharing my art with others and drawing in general. This part showed me that it doesn't matter how the goal is achieved as there is no one right way. So thank you so much for sharing
I love doing digital glazing it's so fun! I use them to make examples for my art class I temporarily teach in a high school
WOOOOWWW This has just improved the quality of my life… THANK YOU ❤❤❤
OMG I have been dying to took Erak Note's Coloso Courseee~ 😭 Thank you for thissss!!💕
Jezuz! I love your content. The mood layers is such a awesome tip-trick.. The way you explain while showing what is going on with layers and tools is ‘ chefs kiss’. Sub’d
Awesome video, excited to try it out!
I'm so glad you made this video talking about the highlights of Erak's course. I would have loved to get this myself but it is $221 (and that's AFTER the discount). I love art, but I still have to eat and put gas in my car lol.
Thanks for this look inside Erak’s course. I can recommend Nixell Cho’s course on Coloso. He colors using the glazing method and explains multiple ways to approach it. He also thoroughly explains the fundamentals of light among many other topics. He works in a very current video game style and the results are straight up eye candy. I got a lot out of it.
Mind blowing art tips!
Erak note is on another level, love his style
MIND BLOWNNNMMMM
thank you so much for sharing this
This is very helpful. Thank you!
WLOP uses a very similar layer and glazing method as well
Going from grayscale to colour always looks muddy and desaturated. I have tried it myself.
And i think it is not even about experience. Because even SamDoesArts and Marc Burnet both tried it. And even their painting look less vibrant than their usual ones.
I think it is because you separate the processes, namely, the process of of selecting your values and then the process of colouring. And when you think of them individually that is how the painting comes out. It feels like there is something missing and i think it is that gap between grayscale and color.
Damn, that was a lot.
Btw, you video was great 🫡🫡
so true
Marco bucci has a great video on this topic.
Imo, grayscale to color method is just like glazing technique in traditional art.
It helps you establish initial colors with already somewhat good values. (Emphasis on the word "initial colors")
But you can't just rely on it too much, same as the glazing technique, you have to work upon it. Look at Wlop, he uses grayscale to color method, his art is still striking, because he works upon it to give meaning to the color and harmonize with the pre existing values.
Anyways, just wanted to say that, lol bye 🏃💨
You can combat that by gradient mapping THEN glazing! It's one more step, but it adds vibrance to the grey tones quickly without changing value.
@@Mintflavoredgum gradient mapping to what color? or different for different parts of the body?
@@Mintflavoredgum thanx. I have been experimenting with gradient mapping and it definitely helps.
And and at the end i try to add more layers to further refine the colours , especially, when it comes to skin. Because making skin lifelike is more difficult 🫡
Love your youtube channel is really helpful ❤
interesting method. i like to paint in grayscale and turn the grayscale layer to linear light and put it on top of my flats :) so i just have 4 layers: 1 for the flats, and 3 for the contrast
I just tried digital glazing on an artwork I did recently and dude.. it's not even close, it looks so much better now. I did grayscale to color wrong the whole time :O
Wowwwww you are so talented!!!🫡
Oh wow, thanks for the really informative video!
Ahh the first tip with the layers, I do that I thought that I was just being overly cautious and useing to many layers was gonna try to stop :0
I've learned so much in the span of 10 minutes
OMG finally! a more advanced arts tips! I've been so tired with the amateur /beginner arts tip I found in CZcams. I need more like this to improve my shading n colouring skill. 😭😭😭
Buy the course, also Guweiz is launching a course on coloso?! Next month will be open, preorder it now ! Dang xdd
I also signed up for this course and 2 others by purchasing a bundle.
Thanks for this latest video sharing this workflow. I am getting back into art with an iPad and really looking to quicken/organize my flow. Did traditional pencil/inking back in highschool but sort of lost the time to do it for many years. I have been using the free trial of clip studio but have had issues purchasing a subscription from their site and tempted to try procreate instead. I have noticed you using both across videos. Which do you prefer for ipad art?
Super happy to hear you're getting back into art ^^ I must admit I'm more a Clip Studio Paint user - but I also use SO many of their tools like 3D-models, asset store, Webtoon features, etc. I used Procreate on my iPad for a few year before moving over to CSP and I still love to use Procreate once in a while. It has a much more user-friendly interface (especially for smaller monitors/screens) and it has evolved into such an amazing drawing app! I think it's about which features you would like to use and personal preference. Finding brushes and tutorials won't be a problem for either of them, I iamgine :3
Erak Note is a beast !
Great video!I think this should be a regular series in your channel :) Its also really helpfull to hear an opinion about these courses.
Very informative, thanks !
This is amazing
Could you also make a video about how to edit your videos!
i love your video 💕
Omg this video came just in time for me lol
Funny because I go the greyscaling and create a ton of layers. I think what I would benefit from him are his late videos on lighting and finishing the painting. I tend to get lost towards the end I think. That and I need to be more patient with myself and understand that I don't have to finish a painting within 8 hours lol..
The layer structure is actually just industry standard.
Interesting. In miniature figure painting we use the “slap chop” method which is similar….
great vid
I never heard of the chopping the grayscale drawing up. I'll have to give that a try next time
sakimi does some basic animation, separating body part is necessary for rigging
Coloso ftw yeee
Is there a time limited so when it close down the course?
Huh....that's how they do glazing?!
I was really overthinking it xD
For my brain, it is still complicated somehow. XD Dont even know if this is possible with Krita. You can duplicate layers there, but the rest might not work. I guess, I need to watch this a few more times, to actually understand it. 😅 But thank you for sharing. I owe you one more view anyway, because I tend to watch the first time, with my addblock on. Adds can kill the viewing experience, but I also want you to earn money, So this is how I do it nowadays.
One thing that holds me back is my brain giving me no motivation and patience to do tasks like learning
REAL
Thanks... I need to practice...
Could you make using gradient maps easier also thanks
I love guweiz and I’m sad he doesn’t have a strong presence on CZcams
hey, question, cause I can't fins the answer ANYWHERE, lol. The brush pack provided with the class according to the class itself and advertosement, where do you get the brushes? I can't find them in my class materials
The fact i do layers like that naturally XD
Hi Nadiaxel, thanks for sharing this infor ，may I ask how many pixels you chose for the canvas? It could give 30 more layers in procreat in your video 😯
❤❤
Hi, i have a question: does Erak Note course talk about anatomy for the face/body ect? Or it's just renderind a character.
i really want to be better at drawing but i don't know the best way. is drawing fan art an ok way or do i study? what the best way to draw when you are trying to learn to paper or digital?
Fanart is a great way to learn, I find. The passion you have for the character translates into wanting to finish it, and then you don't need to come up with an original character. I would recommend trying to stear clear of tracing and/or copying an artwork directly. When you're new and trying to learn, simply copying a drawing does little to understand proportions and anatomy.
As for the traditional vs digital, I'd say it's very much up to the individual artist. I learned initially through traditional, but that's because there was no digital option when I was 14 😅 I guess I'd think digital could be harder for some, because they'd be learning not only how to draw, but also how to use an entire program. But, still, that's just me, you might learn just as quickly in digital. I love both mediums equally.
Hope this answer helps. Good luck on your artistic journey
great video!!!!! + does coloso only works in certain countries? it apparently doesn't support mine unfortunately
Is the art courses on the coloso a monthly subs or a one time payment only?
At least I do one good thing (adding a different layer for every body part)
im about to glaze so hard
I've been reticent to shell out for art courses online, bc, well, Im a grown ass man: I don't want homework after I've worked 11 hrs, but, if all they're offering me are some tips and exercises?
Yeah, I'll try that.
*POW* that was me bopping you in the nose
So how do you create separate layers like example separating body, clothes etc?
Just paint them separately that's it. Label a layer specifically like let's say..legs layer, just paint the legs in that area so you can always go back and fix it.
I tried this with csp, but somehow, this glazing method it is not working? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Try stable diffusion
Try a pencil
@@enough2715 that would be obviously better, but for digital art, stable diffusion is the new feature unless you're being a traditional digital artist because of denial 😂
what is that drawing pad you are using?
iPad Pro 12.9 that’s the one she’s using
you might also like Marc Brunet cause he has a course too
I think for anatomy why don't you try manga material en paetron if you want to know more?
Honestly all this taught me as somebody that cannot draw is that more layers = automatically better end result
So apparently I've been using digital glazing without knowing what it was called. Lol
are you from denmark? because it sounds like you have the accent from there speaking from a person from denmark :)
Honestly I think Digital Glazing method, where you colorize greyscale looks kind of bland, particularly for skin tones. Maybe because it suffers from lack of tone variation. Sinix explained it better than me but, painting the skin directly IMO just ends up looking better and has way more flexibility -- albeit perhaps it's harder.
That's digital glazing?? Oh. OHHH. Tbh I always have a feeling when I try it, it just becomes a grey mess so I never do it, haha
w course
love, can u name me ur tablet that you are using? and can u name so "cheap" tablets?
I like your drawing how very realistic✨🤍
8:20
So many layers tho 😢 my pc will die if i had that many....or at least krita will
🤔🤔🤔
You don't need to get any better at art. You should look into broadcasting courses and voiceover work. Your voice is absolutely magical.
Is it not normal to use lots of layers in an illustration? :o
Bro glazing so bad ☠️
Would be lovely if the courses did not cost $200! It's a week of work where I live :(
idk if it's legal to share all of this paid-for information
The information is not patented or restricted under a government security clearance. The only violation would be to reupload the copyrighted material as-is or largely as-is.
@@ArchOfficial yes quite true! It would also be awful if art tips weren’t allowed to be shared… 😅
But they all use Photoshop 😢 do these courses are just Photoshop only? Or we can also use other?
you can use other apps, obviously lol
@@BreadedNuggetss Merry Christmas!!
yes yes I agree. But you see the tutorials are for Photocrap and Photocrap has a lot more tools than most.. and that's why I asked.
Glazing on that schmeat
Dont you ever trust somebody who call himself a master. They are not going to help you to improve, they will only make you feel worse of what can you acomplish.
I wouldn’t say that exactly, maybe only show how to draw like them. One thing though that I realized that was common theme of the art showcased is they all have the same face.. the art is visually appealing tho but yeah..
AI art thieves can do it !
When you have money to grow as an artist
Well, if you have 48 hours of free time, yeah this is doable...
Who has that kind of time today? XD
