Your drawing is like, game loading screen worthy
one of the best compliments ever
Specific but true
I've been drawing on digital for 12 years now and I never thought of using gradient maps for shading like that. Mindblowing tip! You deserve my like sir!
dude SAME
That’s what I was thinking 😂🎉
Please reply, can the same steps be used on ibisPaint?
@@user-qu1sb7sy1y Yes, you can pretty much replicate it by simply using the adjustment layer, set the gradation map, then under that layer you can shade in black and white
since youve been drawing for 12 years can you explain to me why the first layer in the shading folder he said to fill it white or with any grey scale value im trying to see and understand the reason behind each step.
You don't only show us how to use gradient maps but also those nice tricks with the lasso tool clean-up and creating a layer for your flats utilizing a mask layer. You just earned another subscriber!
@@user-qu1sb7sy1y I have heard of ibisPaint, but never used it. Sorry
How do you do this on photoshop?
you are a literal wizard omfg
I have tried so many methods for subsurface scattering before, but the second I saw this video I got so hyped about trying it with gradient maps!! I tried it with highlights too! I've now got the gradient map madness!!
Thank you for sharing this!!
I am FLOORED, never thought to use a gradient map in that way. TODAY I LEARNED, thank you Aziz!
This is a gamechanger
I had absolutely no idea i could use gradients for more things than the sky in backgrounds. I have to try it and practice.
You have literally changed my workflow for the better, I used to add the color manually.
You know, i think I've used gradient maps for everything BUT this. I now have all the tech.
You now have all the gradient map stones.
@AzizDraws I snap my fingers and EVERYONE'S dark values become a pleasant blue.
@@LewdicideMouseI prefer a cool, slightly desaturated purple, like the color thanos’s nipple probably is
That's a great idea, thank you. I thought of gradient maps as a part of "post-processing" more than a tool to be used for real-time shading so far. I'm definitely going to try this.
I found your video just as I woke up from my New Year's bender, clearly the universe is trying to tell me something. This technique is a game changer, I'll be trying it out later today cause MAN it looks so fun and reliable. Please upload more process and timelapse videos, cause you're now hereby one of the artists I'm rooting for, look up to and work hard to accomplish your level one day. Have a good one and have an amazing 2025!
Thank you for the kind words and support! 🙏
All these years doing digital art and I'm still looking at this flabbergasted with a surprised Pikachu face. Shading is really this simple!?
15 years into digital art and i'm speechless how simple and life changing this metod is. It's like popular among Asian artists method of painting solid grayscales for each light sourse and then changing the values into color and erasing the shading part but 50 times more fast, easy and clear for understanding. thanks!
I feel a third eye on my forehead has opened. I did not know you could do that, W O W
Ooh this method is awesome... Makes the drawing look so realistic and stylish
Hey man, loved this tutorial. You explained everything really well. I dunno what you think but I think you have a knack for teaching/tutoring. Would love to see more tutorials, especially for beginners from you. Also, its good for the algorithm since this is your most watched video haha. Also wanted to say I love how 3d your drawings look, especially the shiny look of your power rangers' drawings. Keep up the good work.
Yes, one of the best art videos I have seen in my life
I only use gradient maps for polishing at the end but this is so cool! gonna have to try this out!
The comodities of clip studio are delicious.
A gift of art programs.
Fr
I don't even know how I didn't discover it earlier
LOVE THIS! Reminds me of the core things I picked up from tutorials (Kienan Lafferty, I think) when I started doing digital work more seriously. Always spoke about thinking of values as if you are carving into them like clay. Always enjoyed that analogy!
PLEASE DO MORE TUTS I just got recommended this vid
I watched it twice all the way through it was so informative.
Please consider making more educational vids your way of explaining things is so good
I know this is a video about how to use one but it's still magic when you get it all working
This is such a cool flip on my own way of doing shading!
Instead of having the flat, base colors first, you focus on the shape of the character and then the colors complement the tridimensional display of the subject.
Really interesting technique! Fantastic work and art style!
holyyy.. this is hella creative, never thought of doing it that way, thanks for sharing!! i think it's worth giving a shot :D
I know this was done in Clip Art Studio, but this tutorial gave me an idea on how to use it on Photoshop.
Theres another different way to do it in PS, but this makes design intent sketches more presentable in a quicker way. Thanks man.
Help. How can I do this in Photoshop?
Would kill to know how to set this up in Photoshop.
That shading is phenomenal
This is a mind-blowing gem of a tutorial! 💎 I love using gradent maps for grayscale to color, but not like this. You definitely earned a like!
I've used gradient maps for final color correction and making it more harmonious. But this looks like a fun way to do some shading. I'll have to try it next time!
это такой очевидный прием, до которого я не догадывалась. круто
This is how I use Gradient Maps for shading.
00:00 Введение и настройка слоев
• Азиз объясняет, как использовать градиентные карты для создания теней в иллюстрациях.
• Для начала нужно обвести объект на векторном слое и добавить слой для заливки цветом.
• Для создания обтравочной маски используется инструмент "Автовыбор" и кнопка "Создать маску слоя".
00:59 Настройка градиентной карты
• Градиентные карты применяются для цветового градиента к значениям серого.
• Азиз выбирает теплые оттенки для света, средний цвет для границы света и холодные оттенки для теней.
• После настройки градиента, слой с тенями перемещается вниз и настраивается режим наложения на "Умножение".
01:56 Нанесение теней
• Азиз использует кисть для гуаши и начинает с черного цвета.
• Важно понимать форму объекта и направление источника света для точного нанесения теней.
• Использование слоя с контурным рисунком помогает выделить и закрасить нужные области.
02:51 Завершение и раскрашивание
• После заливки можно добавить цвета на слой с плоской заливкой.
• Для упрощения раскрашивания используется функция "Использовать как эталонный слой".
• Азиз меняет градиентную карту после раскрашивания, добавляя блики и другие детали.
03:00 Заключение
• Видео завершается благодарностью за внимание и предложением задавать вопросы.
I think this can be also applied in any drawing softwares! Glad that I see your channel! Will definitely try this one for sure!
Thank you! this is the best explanation of Gradient map I've ever seen
I came across your power ranger pieces a week ago and it inspired me so much I spent this whole week learning clip studio and watching your stream to understand this process, all I was missing was the thought process behind making the gradient. Thank you so much for this nice compact tutorial!!!
This felt more like watching a performance than a tutorial video, damn.
i clicked on video thinking it's about 3d shading 😭😭😭
your art is so good that it actually look like 3d renders!!
jeez louise, this updates the Gradient Map process I was taught. Here I was working in greyscale and modifying the gradients after I made a B&W Value version [Marc Brunet method]. This is creative way to teach us how to make pseudo-FX layers.
Seeing new ways of evolving a process is always great.
**This feels like cheating for rendering (almost)
SHHHUT UP!!!!
😮😮😮😮
I’m def gonna have to try this. Thank you Sifu!!
This is amazing subscribed right away
I seen your art on twitter recently and randomly seen this video in my home page. Really cool stuff and its rare that i see a spider-man drawing with gradients this good.
This is awesome dude. And you are straight to the point and the video doesn't drag. subbed.
Thanks for the solid process video! Love how quick and to the point you were about the steps, it was simple to follow and easy to understand, I’m definitely going to try this later. Cheers man
Please reply, can the same steps be used on ibisPaint?
This is genuinely so inspiring, never stop creating!
amazing video!! thank you so much
1:59 oh wow it’s cooler than I thought
So cool. Definitely gonna give this a go! 🤝
This is an outstanding tutorial for how to set up gradient maps. Short, informative and to the point. You get full marks all around! However, I did have to look at your other pieces to get a proper feel for it. Not something I'd use personally but it definitely seems like a time saver, especially for larger pieces. Very nice!
Wow, that's a nice short video cram packed with a great walkthrough and awesome technical tips! Thanks dude!
New sub here, this video was recommended and I gave it a watch to see how your technique differs from others who use similar methods. Imo yours is more straightforward and thus easier and faster but maybe requires much more comprehensive knowledge of lighting and shadows. I love this technique and definitely will try it for myself as it saves time and you get to a more satisfying sketch faster. Love it! Will check out more of your content!
Clear, comprehensive, straight to the point! Thanks ❤
Love your art
QUE TRUKAZO NO? ❤🔥💥🔥🔥🔥
I had no clue you could use a gradient map like that your truly a csp master
This is a very good tutorial for me I never thought about using gradient maps for use like this. You have earned a sub from me
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us 🙏
With much artistic love from Spain ❤
Sir this is revolutionary! (At least to me)
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing the technique!
Hello, thank you very much for explaining your process, it helps me a lot in my learning
Thank you Aziz for your awesome and didactic drawings and for these videos.
Your art is insane! :D can’t wait to try this!
This is so mind blowing and quick! Thank you for making this!
Oh hey I saw this Spider-Man piece recently! Great work!
I definitely need to study this. My coloring needs work!
HOLY MOLY! SO COOL!
Thank you for sharing! I always wondered how you did this.
Probably the most mindblowing shading i seen. Did this work on photoshop ?
I haven’t tried it on Photoshop, but it is possible to have a similar layer setup.
This is definitely useful! Love this tutorial ❤❤
your art is incredible, thanks for sharing this awesome tip on shading
Wow! Thank you for sharing this! If I can figure out how to use this method I may really level up!
This is the exact video I needed!
Thought your illustrations were 3d. Very impressive, thank you for tutorial
Insane. Thank you so much!
This feels like magic, thank you!
I’m learning sm omg ty
thanks bro I have been using it in a different way but this can open up new pages for me
I do this too and you can do some fancy tricks with a clone layer i find this really helpful for animation bc you don’t need to decide a color palette really
I usually, make a Frankenstein version and have a lot of layers to manage, hahaha. gotta use that gradient map. for people also, you can use auto action, to save a couple of steps, if you are in that position you find that you are doing the same thing over and over again
Amazing, unlock new understanding on shadow gradient!!!!
WHATAHELLL THIS IS GODLIKE !!
I didn't know there was a method like this, thanks for the tips
0:07 oh what the hell 🎉 I’ve never seen that done before
Thank you so much for this method of yours, I have tried practicing with the correction layer all this time but somehow they still look muddy and dirty. I will try your method after this.
Duuude I LOVED this tip!!!
dude this is beautiful
That was BRILLIANT.
You are a saviour 😭this is all I needed... Arigato
simple and brilliant, definitely gonna try this
wow, thank you for a good tutorial
wow
This channel is dope and should have WAAAY more subs💯🔥🔥
Oh my god this is so cool! Though I have one question, I did the shading but I can’t color it since I filled the shading layer with white first as you said in the video and I can’t figure out how your spider man’s red color is visible although it’s on lower layer than shading layer. Could you please help me with that? I’m pretty new to digital drawing😢
Check to see if the Layer Blend Mode is set from Normal to Multiply for the Shading Layer.
@ It worked!!! Thank you so much for the quick answer!
@@たげ-t3h 👍
Thanks a lot
Thanks for this man!
1:25 Terminator spotted 🤣
Wow this is amazing! Had no clue how to use the gradient maps for shading. Easy and quick way to shade. This can be used for a gray scale and then color like u did? When you colored spidey in red, you just selected the outline and filled above the mask layer? Or on the mask layer?
Yeah I colored on the Flats later that has a clipping mask.
@@AzizDrawsthank u. So Aziz. I just tried this now with a some what clean inking and I am not getting the same result. I think I did something wrong. I see the blue underneath the color I did for my flats. It’s not a shade like here with spiderman. I wonder what I did wrong. I followed your steps. On the shading folder, it’s multiply gradient map(did my best to match what u have), shade layer in white(I had it at gray before),flats with the ink selected into a mask. Did I miss something?
@ send me a screenshot on instagram @azizmbye. I will see if I can help better that way.
@@AzizDrawsty I will.
@@AzizDrawswill be sending in a bit sorry it’s late.
Revolutionary, is this even allowed
Damn now I wanna try it! Fall off and midtone included? It looks like I'll be super fast with it!
this is so friggin smart!
This is awesome thanks for sharing!
Thanks for making this video, this is gonna help so much
I really look up to your artwork. Could you perhaps do a videon on dynamic posing and or anatomy? I'd love that.
