Thanks to you I found quite possibly the best shading method ever, and I don’t mean the color part, but just the way you clip it all then erase from there
If you use this, adding a second, darker shadow colour for more intense shadows will add more dimension to your piece and make it look more 3D. You can also add a brighter light colour using an add or soft light layer following this same method
Think of it this way; there are two groups in your painting. The light group and the shadow group. The shadow group is the absence of light in comparison to the lighter area, so its not a total absence of light (otherwise it would be black) its just contrast, which can also change if there are lots of things diffusing the light (such as clouds). But anyway, the light group is being lighted directly. The most common light is the sun. And there's always color attached to light, so the color of sunlight is generally a warm color. Therefore, that are being hit by light should be warmer. In contrast, the shadow areas are lacking that sunlight, so it will take the ambient light, or any stronger source of color. E.g the sky. Now, the sky is blue, and is shining directly down onto everything. So the shadows will reflect that strong color. Ofc this change depending on the color of your light and the color of your ambient.
Thank you so so much! I feel like I’ve been having art block recently because I want everything to look “perfect”. But this is a great method to get me back on my feet, thank you so much!
ive been having an art block for a long time now but i decided to finally try digital art to help with it and these kinda videos help SOOO MUCH with my frustrations of how to be more efficient
thank you so much this is way easier than manually adding the shading on each part, and since im making a picture thats meant to be with just a little light this is so helpful
I just use black on a different layer and then change the opacity on that layer, if it looks blocky or just ugly, i smudge or blur it. No worrying about finding the right colours AND shadows are naturally black 🙂👍
You can also use curves(of your software of choice has them) to change the hue of the shadow, if your software doesn't have curves, then you can duplicate the shadow layer again after you finish defining the shadows and set it to overlay, then lock transparent pixels, and color over in the color of your choice
the set back of this technique is make all the color look dull, but if that what you aiming that's great other quick technique to make it much more colorfull, generally you could move the HUE whatever color you on with toward the blue a little, like 10-15 degree then select darker color on that hue, just a little
i like to do like red for light and blue for shadows, i copy the layer with the color twice, alpha lock the layers and do one red and one blue. turn the blue to color burn and the red to soft light and set both to 50 opacity
Follow up Pro Tip- Use a layer mask instead of erasing it, that way you dont need to colour pick the layer should you change colours during the process
People saying your art looks like AI art, BITCH NO AI STOLE FROM MY ART THE AI STYLE IS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF ART CREATED THINGS BY PEOPLE WITH A STYLE IT MALFORMED TOGETHER TO MAKE ART THAT NOW LOOKS LIKE THAT STYLE
I feel like more beginner artist should focus on grey scale before dealing with color cause its a whole different monster. Working in mono is much easier to think about than dealing with colors. Firstly people need to learn how color shift and take the time to do master studies. Do it in greyscale and colorize it in gradient maps. Values can be more important than color.
But what if you wanted your shadows to match the character’s environment like for example a character in a forest or a cave lit by green flames or a cyberpunk city with a lot of neon colors?
Dude, this is a life saver!
This man is a tutorial genius
This is a known thing wtf
yup
bruh i don’t even know how to draw but this looks like it would help me so much.
Well you can do this with anything really, doesn't have to be human art, could just be a cube or something.

Thanks for the tip, now all i had to do is figure out how to do this on medibang💀
should work in every program since you only need multiply layers
I literally use the this with MediBang
@@Luna-dh6yt forgot to mention i use the mobile version:p
@@derek2288 Medibang? More like medi-dang that’s rough.
It works in medibang, don't be afraid
I never knew the fill-and-erase method existed. now, I can think more about the light and its source rather than the shadows that come from that
yeah and because you can do it faster, you get to see how it works too instead of focusing on details
@@dnzozo exactly
nice tutorial once again ronillust!
When my friend told me this trick months ago, I cried because of how happy I was. It literally saved me an hour of hassle with every picture.
not me just looking at his majestic ahh drawing of Babel
Babel? It’s a enemy in genshin impact I didn’t know they had names
oh well yeah its an enemy but the model is also used in a world quest where she's called Babel so@@Cherry-dn2to
@@Cherry-dn2to Oh you didn't do desert's world quest ?
@@Cherry-dn2tobabel is an npc, not the enemy
@@Ava_93646I mean to be fair they have the EXACT same model
And other artists making a 19 minute tutorial😭 This is so helpful❤

Yo it's nice to finally know how to color, tho ya open for another stream Roni?
Ayyy the eremite mommy enemy
Mommy? Why are you calling her a mother huh
That’s probably babel from the desert world quest, wish they changed the designs a bit at least

wish I knew this when I was aiming for digital artist
Very helpful. Thank you oh great sage Ronillust👍
This is actually brilliant and would have saved me a lot of time on past drawings. Definitely gonna try this soon!

This actually saves an insane amount of time
Oh my god you could do this all this freaking time
Now this is what a quick tip "TUTORIAL" should look like. ❤
that's really a good trick for fast shading, thanks buddy!
I just use black on a different layer and then change the opacity on that layer, if it looks blocky or just ugly, i smudge or blur it.
No worrying about finding the right colours AND shadows are naturally black 🙂👍
I've gotten into the habit of doing base colours then the new layer but next time I'll definitely try changing the blending mode! :3
OMG i really need this tysm
Good idea!!! Usually I do this when giving shadow manually with brush, I'm gonna try experimenting with your trick! Thanks!
aaaaa thank you so much for this! I’m very new to digital art and this is definitely gonna be very useful for me! :D
We love another filipino artist. Also, this makes me miss genshin
Oh man, I can't wait to apply this to my paper and pencil work!
This man, solved my confusion that's been beating me up for years in less than a minute, what the fuck, and thank you.
Lordy lord, I really need to figure out what all of these tools do.
WOW THIS IS REALLY WHAT I NEED!!! THANKS A LOT!!!!
We gonna ignore the amazing character in the background?
You should know I'm saving these shorts for self use because I am forgetful. I keep them on my pc O.O And this tip was a life saver again.
I started doing this recently and it helps a lot
Thanks for the tip bro, have a nice day ❤
Why did i never think of doing this omg this is genius😮

why didnt i think of this before, its a lifesaver
Oh wow that was amazing
Nice tip, thank you.
yo god damn this is actually really smart
YOU SAFE MY TIME A LOT, Thank you so much
The goodbye at the end
This actually really helped

Mommy sorry i mean mommy sorry uhh...

You just saved my life forever
I always tried the multiply trick, but instead was painting on with black for fabric or dark red for skin. Will try it when I have time
Thanks, this helps a lot!
You are genius man
This is actually helpful thx
Wow digital art is so easy
And this is why I sketch in paper but color things in digital
Now, how do you do this on paper?
Life saver tips
Huh, that’s pretty useful, thanks
She is in the desert area so i don't understand her eye thing lol 😂
It’s from genshin impact, it’s just the character style
You can use pink or purple instead of blue.
Man I gotta get a drawing tablet. ;-;
Edit: Tablet acquired.
Follow up Pro Tip- Use a layer mask instead of erasing it, that way you dont need to colour pick the layer should you change colours during the process
So dark to light painting. Yea i should use this more
Me taking every word to heart knowing I ain't an artist:
Where has this been all ly life
People saying your art looks like AI art, BITCH NO
AI STOLE FROM MY ART
THE AI STYLE IS LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF ART CREATED THINGS BY PEOPLE WITH A STYLE IT MALFORMED TOGETHER TO MAKE ART THAT NOW LOOKS LIKE THAT STYLE
God tier advice
Though I’m on sketchbook and there isn’t a multiply blending, is there another option perhaps?
That's literally what I've been doing this whole time...
Very helpful
Omg thank you why the hell I didn't think about that.
OMG I never knew about the clip tool Lmao thx
I actually did this before watching this video, I thought it was stupid but i realized its genius thanks ti this video >:D
Loved your stream
Thank you bruda.
Character looks like Seer and Priestess's children from IDV
I learned this trick long ago with piskel, lol
YOU WHAT?!
I have to try it

Thank uuuuiii
This is fucking genius omg
i always did this methods every time
“Goodbye”
I would say linear burn works better than multiply but the best solution is to get good at choosing complementary colors😂
But what if you wanted your shadows to match the character’s environment like for example a character in a forest or a cave lit by green flames or a cyberpunk city with a lot of neon colors?
Tysm!
This is what I've started doing tbh
THANK YOU
Wait what!? Dude.... I LOVE YOU!
no homo
did anyone else see the text above the color square before he filled the layer!?
Cool, now how do i do it in Krita
What software is this? What kind of hardware and software should I get if I want to start?
