  • Hello everyone,
    I hope you are all keeping safe and well! Today's video shows how gradient maps can be implemented into the process as a fast lighting tool. I have a lot of freelance work on at the moment but during this lockdown I am finally finding some time to work on these tutorials for you guys. Hopefully I can make these more regular in the near future. Stay safe and see you soon! :)

    Can someone help me TT I followed the exact steps but I still am running into the same problem. I would have the gradient map (fire gradient) on the top, have the blank layer right underneath the gradient layer and have the black solid layer under everything (and this layer is on screen). But I dont know why the gradient causes like a slight pinkish hue to the photo. When i draw on the blank layer the gradient painting is fine, but the gradient map keeps making the whole picture pinkish for some reason :/ and my black layer turns into a light brown for some reason TT when i added in the black layer I dont know what im doing wrong TT

    • @AaronGriffin
      @AaronGriffin  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can definitely use it as a final step... especially in scenarios where the light is very distinctive. It works great for stylized pieces or more monochromatic pieces... That way you can be more playful with it and not worry about mixing other light sources too accurately. But yeah, it can be used any time in the process really.

    • @AaronGriffin
      @AaronGriffin  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I have not tried using this method in procreate but if I had to guess... I would say... create a screen layer and fill it with black like we did here and then using procreates colour dynamics... you may be able to create a gradient in the brush settings itself. I will have a play myself and see if I can get it to work :)

  • @ninjanick5769
    @ninjanick5769 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I didn't get most of it, perhaps I need to watch it multiple times. Especially, the the "safe zone " layer. I don't understand why you need to use a Clipping Mask over a black filled layer in Screen mode in order not to make the Gradient colours bleed over the layer beneath it if it's already entirely black
    .
    And also what happens to the rest of the rest of the skin, I assume you might have to change the Blending mode including the colours in the Gradient slider as the entire face cannot reflect a fire light source.
    But overall, brilliant technique, just wish I understood the concept behind it, lol

    • @AaronGriffin
      @AaronGriffin  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not suuure... Unless i am mistaken, procreate does not have adjustment layers like Photoshop does. You may be able to create a gradient in the brush settings itself and then paint directly using a pressure gradient. I'll have a look myself and see if I can get it to work! :)

    • @Misssugar164
