@@anartsyaquatic yep, what I noticed as well was that you used the clipping function to pretty much lock down new layers into your base colours, I was too used to Layer Masks during my time in Photoshop
@@gigachadgaming1551 are they though? on my digital color wheel red is opposite of cyan and blue is opposite of yellow. on a color wheel i've been taught in art class, red is opposite of green and blue is opposite of orange. i'm not an expert in color theory, but i've never seen a wheel where red and blue would be opposite
Huh that's surprisingly similar to how I shade drawings I use Procreate I personally prefer softer shading so I use airbrush and I separate base colour layers by what material it is because different materials may be more reflective or less reflective. Using airbrush also means I can vary the darkness on the one shading layer itself. And then for highlights I use another clipped layer with soft light or overlay using a light colour if it's a not very reflective surface, and set to add if it's reflective.
That sounds very cool! I love using the airbrush to set the mood and sort of blend things together. I remember when i tried using it for actual shading, i found it to be quite tough though. Have a nice day!!
Damn it only take 3 minutes and yet you explain every single tools in the most simple way that a chimpanzee(me) could understand, now i finally understand. Need me to learn how to add highlight with layer tricks
I popped by because this was in my recommended and I wanna help with something. If you wanna increase the likelihood of people clicking the video, put a before and after pic side by side for the thumbnail. Or Maybe a Don't --> Do comparison. It'll help a lot. Have a very nice day!
cool josuke8 fanart! just a genuine question. ive been watching vids about filters and multiply confuses me a lot. why use multiply when you can just have an unfiltered layer and fill it in with the normal color?
Usually it's the ease of use. When coloring with the multiply layer, you usually don't have to think too much about what shadow colors to choose. And if you decide on a different color scheme while drawing, it's quite easy to change the hue of the multiply layer. Overall, multiply isn't always the best choice, especially if you already know what color scheme you want to use. I'd say gradient mapping is also a great and easy way to color shadows. Keep on searching for answers!
Because he didn't add another layer. He misspoke. He meant to say add another color. At this part, the word "color" pops up with an asterisk at the bottom right. 👍
I should have legitimately watched this when I started drawing, this simplifies alot of things for me.
I'm super happy I could help! Mastering the multiply layer is incredibly useful in the long run!

quick, to the point & explained exactly what i needed to know. thank you
Happy to be of service!
this is exactly what i was looking for, thank you so much!! hugely helpful!
purple is my favorite color to shade with on multiply, i feel like it works with everything
That is so true, pinkish red and purple are the GOATS!
Makes sense, purple is red+blue, which are complete opposites on the color wheel

@@fiaghost4759 eh, cyan's close enough to blue. I should have said opposites in terms of cold/warm colors
dude, you really simplified things for me! ive been struggling so hard on this! thank you for making this video! Wish i found it wayyy sooner!

Very nice video and easy to understand. keep up the good work.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!
I personally like filling a layer with the multiply colour and then erase to create lighting

Oh that does sound like a great idea actually!! I'll try it out for sure :D
Have a nice day!
I was thinking about this yesterday and today this video. Coincidence ?
Probably 😸.
thanks boss

@@anartsyaquatic i see, thank you!
thanks, this video was really helpful😁
Hey, love this but what exactly did you do at 1:34? It says add another layer but it doesn't look like you did?
Because he didn't add another layer. He misspoke. He meant to say add another color. At this part, the word "color" pops up with an asterisk at the bottom right. 👍
@@Ch3k0v Oh, thank you so much! I didn't see the word pop up.
