Really good video Tyler. I personally often struggle with oversaturating my images. Even if I work from references the colors turn out to be too saturated and it really bothers me because they seem to not fit.
Adding color to a greyscale painting can be tricky because it comes out either oversaturated, muddy or the colors get flat and boring a lot of the time from my experience.
Hi Tyler, awesome video. I have one question related to digital painting that I think you help with. I often have trouble painting buildings and street side views because everything is so geometric. If I use a lasso tool it looks off and it’s hard to aline the selections correctly. I if I use brushes it doesn’t look straight. Any advice?
Angela I also use all those techniques you mentioned. If you make a selection save it so that you can reload it again when you need it. Also can invert it to select around if
Nice channel! I've just already discovered it. Maybe could be nice to see what's your approach to color a black and white composition. I use to start in black and white to figure the volumes and shapes better but I feel some lack of color richness once you put colors in
two tone colour painting can do wonders in setting up an underpainting in my expereince. i just go down to the desaturated greys if i want to use other local colours in the early stages. that wa its the best of both worlds
I would like to ask a process question if you are able to find time to answer. You mention using green as sort of the "glue" that holds everything together. Can you maybe detail some of your thought process on choosing that color specifically?
Blake Mecklenburg it was an analogous color of blue think of it was a neighbor. A neutral version of green is also a great shadow color for the pallet.
The thing I struggle with most is Getting the colors to not end up looking like a cheap filter. They aren't muddy necessarily but getting shadow color and highlight color to match in a visually pleasing way is really hard for me. The highlights are either too bright and warm and the shadows too dark and cold.
RonnieTheZombie the trick is in the color temperature. If you go cool highlights, do warmer shadows. Warm highlights- cooler shadows. The magic is on the subtleties of it all. Use neutrals to separate bold uses of saturated colors. Of course the values have to be correct for any of that to matter
Another Photoshop tutorial that assumes EVERYONE uses Photoshop. Dude, most people are not paying $1000+ a year to use a paint program that has reasonable analogs that are free.
I'm very happy that Kane got a new hobby.
That's super cool! Your videos are always very interesting.
Really educative ! Thank you

What software is being used for the underpainting?
i think he made it maya

xFightdemonx if you go back and find some of my very early videos I show exactly that. I don't work that way all that often anymore though.
Do you recommend to move away from value painting to always color painting? just curious thank you!

@@TylerEdlin84 That's what I was thinking was the case, but didn't want to make any assumptions. Thank you!
Blake Mecklenburg a neutral green is also A compliment to the warm colors so it works doubly so
Thanks
Do I have to have a few years of understanding the fundamentals to apply for mentorship?
no not necessarily. lots of students come with gaps, i help fill them in.
Done exactly as planned, made a lifeless, boring composition into an amazing environment.

Thank you I appreciate the reply.
I´m very coward with colors ,never know what to use

Well actually it’s more like $300 a year.
