Gradient map

Hello everybody!
In this video I will show you how I add color on grayscale image.
I use this method in concept art or in a simple illustrations. This is very helpful if you need a different color variations of same character.

[@DigiMyst]

Glad I'm not the only one using gradient maps! That tool has saved my life countless times. Super useful when coloring

[@Gimaldinov1]

Yeah. This tool is very interesting and useful. I really like to trying some new methods of using it.

[@shaggymunky]

Great workflow, but OMG this music

[@Gimaldinov1]

)) Thank you. Nobody loves that music(

[@egg3153]

Arthur Gimaldinov but i love it

[@sander2817]

It's sort of okay at 0.75 speed, only problem then is that the video is too long, and the slow-down causes the sounds to sounds slightly choppy.

[@tyaap1681]

Arthur Gimaldinov I love both painting and music :)

[@ImJSCarpio]

I like this music :P

[@paulmarko]

Awesome. Non-destructive colorizing!

[@Gimaldinov1]

Thank you.

[@BZStudio]

Сколько знал о такой плюхе, а ни разу не додумался так использовать, лайк)

[@mickymyfreakymind4788]

Dont know if i want to draw or take a pill and party as never before

Micky MyFreakyMind хDD

[@ssoiioss8657]

с градиками вообще огонь! Класс!!!

[@Gimaldinov1]

[@Physeter]

This looks like a 3D sculpture, I’m blown away!

[@Arpel21]

It's probably the most educational art vid on YT. Thanks a lot, man.

[@Gimaldinov1]

You are welcome!

[@twitty2000]

omg thank you for showing where those options are you are a blessing

[@Purpleannie19]

Damn. You wowed me. I will use this method now. A lot of layers but I will keep watching until I get the hang of it. Thank you for sharing

[@koariko]

Завидую такой классной коллекции градиентов!

[@VladimirZiryanov]

Полезный прием с градиент мапом. Спасибо, Артур!

[@Arn-finnur]

I've never seen this technique before. Thanks for sharing!

[@AndresQuiroga]

Great great tutorial thanks for sharing

[@ROMORoo7]

music has to go kill that shit

[@strange8603]

It's called a mute button :)

[@theMPrints]

no its called bad taste......many youtubers suffer from this disease

[@KowitaG]

If that's what works best for them, then why complain? Just mute it lol

[@oskarzdrojewski983]

There is no such thing as a bad taste in art. Some doodles from kindergarden are as good as picasso.

[@50043211]

Sadley have to agree. Try classic.

[@Grub600]

Amazing!!

[@Gimaldinov1]

Thank you

[@RemiliaZ]

wow!! I've never known that you can paint this way!!!! amazing skill!

[@SteveMillersArt]

Really great to see how you use the gradient maps.

[@CyberScorpionofLazerBeams9999]

Спасибо за видео! Если этот трюк с градиентами с умом использовать некисло времени можно сэкономить конечно.

[@Gimaldinov1]

Это точно. Особенно если у тебя много однотипной работы и есть единый графический стиль проекта.

[@ataxiadragon8863]

God bless your artwork and that music

[@starveey_]

I swear I'm the only one who doesn't mind the music.
Nice Art by the way! :D

[@chinh_dwc895]

[@Rulytasho]

I sure hope you keep uploading with this kind of music, it's funny when people get delucional and judge your taste on music thinking is "bad"

[@lawsdraws]

Involuntarily doing the badger badger badger dance whilst watching this.....not in the slightest bit disturbed, either.

[@user-om2iv9ob5v]

[@OmarHesham]

[@pulpogaraje]

"Fuck it, I'm not rendering his left foot."
Haha just kidding, very good artwork. Very smart use of the tools you're given.

[@PixaromaDesign]

Thanks for sharing, great work :)

[@emerestthisk990]

Hmmm the results are great and spectacularly vibrant and clean but having 12 gradient maps would make things a little too complicated for my workflow. But thanks for shedding light on a different way to work and for the awesome results you can achieve with it.

[@TimKaminski]

So fantastic! I remember messing with the gradient map method a long time ago for environments, but I never was as effective as this character. Really awesome, do you have a Patreon or anything to get a hold of those gradient presets ;)

[@howlingdood]

Dude, that was great! Thanks for sharing :)

[@Gimaldinov1]

Thank you!

[@SHOXD1704]

Wow. Gradient map is the cheatcode for shading. xDD

[@4etJIanin]

Читы на покрас юзаешь?)))) Спасибо за видео - очень удобно и быстро красить стало!!!

[@Gimaldinov1]

Бывает, но не часто) Часто крашу по-разному, не придерживаясь одного плана.

[@ΒικτώριαΚανελλοπούλου]

YOU ARE PERFECT

[@digitalsketchguy]

[@GleraTeam666]

Огромное спасибо за урок!!!

[@utodbz]

This method seems to save a lot of time, how long did it take you to finish this piece?

[@marcar365]

OMG! What great music!! Love that Harcore!! It's been so long since Thunderdome. I thiunk it's the first I see a tut with Harcore music :D (Y)

[@Gimaldinov1]

I hope the music fits well with the video.)

[@Demiurgcom]

Thanks for the cool video! (Sick people write about music)

[@Gimaldinov1]

Thank you very much!
Btw I absolutely agree with these people) It was not the right choice of music)

[@Demiurgcom]

:)

[@brucenunn3268]

Bad A$$...!! 👊😎

[@FZCreatives]

Dj tiesto saved my ears ..

[@nothingdraw1]

Do you have any gumroad tutorial that I can buy? I am VERY interested in your render technique, how you do the shading using what brush etc. This is too fast and without commentator, would love to hear your input in a video form where you explain how to make nice transitions from light to dark etc.

[@Gimaldinov1]

Unfortunately I don't have any gumroad tutors. I have only few brush packs on my gumroad page.

[@TheMattybake]

Informative, but I wish there was an explanation as to what you were doing with the layers, it was confusing.

[@Gimaldinov1]

Thanks for comment.
If you have any questions about it, you can ask me and I will try to explain you what will be needed.

[@SomeoneAndGhost]

Never skip legday

[@andefran]

Love this video but do you erase to get the whites or you paint over the grey?
PS: Can you upload your gradients?

[@sheldonventer2849]

That music though X_X kiled it for me

[@miurasrpnt_v2]

Great video ! Any link yo get your brushes please ?

[@extreme123dz]

Great Work!!!, also i learned another way to color and use highlights and shadows ^^
Also, i want to know the name of the music.

[@SuperDogWannabe]

The beginning of this song reminds me of the powerpuff girls song..

[@frostenstein]

Gradient map technique starts from 8:30

[@rafiweiss3915]

Thanks for the amazing video!
Is this a personal art style? I am trying to pull together a bunch of references of character design similar to yours so that I can begin illustrating in this style. I feel like its a mix between a toned down comic style and a more detailed Disney style, which seems like a perfect blend for great illustration.
Where can I find more art like this? (It is amazing!)

[@Gimaldinov1]

You can find more art drawn by me on my artstation and deviantart pages.
I try to combine comic and little realistic style.

[@rafiweiss3915]

Arthur Gimaldinov thanks so much! I'll definitely give it a look!

[@geraldopena8393]

my brother thought i was watching zumba or aerobics video

[@Gimaldinov1]

Ahahaha) I hope this video will help you be in shape too)

Is there a way to have a huge amount of Gradient map presets like you have. The ones you have are beautiful

[@Gimaldinov1]

Thank you!

[@3dcinetv]

Amazing! how do you have the brush palette (custom brushes) AND the brush size¿? It´s amazing! Thanks for the share.

[@Gimaldinov1]

This is Photoshop plugin named Brusherator.

[@3dcinetv]

Thank you!

[@brkofdon]
