THANK YOU SO MUCH RHIS HELPED ME SO MUCH

[@HABOOKS]

I'm so glad to hear that!! 😃

[@TheChameleon2008]

Bro, you the best! Most video's on youtube are like hidden advertisements to sell their brushsets but you giving it out for free gets much love from me and shows that you are really here to help people learn how to draw and people like you are a rare breed on youtube these days. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to do all this and i have no doubt that many people will appreciate it.

[@HABOOKS]

@Square Breaker Thank you so much for your kind words, people have been very kind and it gives me a lot of positive vibe to continue and keep going. Really appreciate that 🙏😀

[@MrMahokai]

Is there an another way to contact u ... cause i have no instagram , ... but i rly need help to understand why u paint first the whole art in gray scaling but than not use it later an repaint everything with colors to overlay it at the end with ur shadow and lights ....so u literally discard ur grayscaling in the merge part at the end ... but way ?

[@rockintennis]

I appreciate you saying that shadows don’t have to be perfect, I get paralyzed in putting in shadows for fear that they will be “wrong” so I will be trying your advice :)

[@LadyEnchiridion]

Shadows can be wrong if lighting is incorrectly placed; shadows can be incorrect as they are the opposite of the light source and are cast from the object.
Angles absolutely matter with cast shadows and Form shadows (native object shadows that défine the object)
Shadows that are for more organize and visually complex shapes (usually nature) do not need to be so accurate
Shadow accuracy is dependent upon what you’re drawing
I hope this helps!

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I never knew how to grayscale till now and i used this video to help me grayscale my drawing and it came out great!!

[@HABOOKS]

Thank you for your kind words, I'm so glad it was helpful! 🙂🙏

[@Mercy_of_the_Devil]

If you want to convert an already coloured image into grayscale, you can add a layer at the top of all your layers and drop black onto the whole thing, then set its blend mode to colour. It helps show where the brightness-contrast is, but sometimes saturation is enough

[@giuseppeconti7363]

It’s great to follow this process , it’s making you work more efficiently, sometimes I don’t follow any logic steps , I sketch , I start to use color and after I put the shadow so I come back to fix the colour layer with the shadow , after that I come back to fix the sketch layer and so on , it’s really time consuming …. Thanks for sharing your process , nice art as well !

[@HABOOKS]

Thank you Giuseppe, I'm glad you liked it 🙂

[@mrs.quills7061]

Thanks man, glad your liked and try it! 🙏🙂

[@mrs.quills7061]

Same here I always used the 808080 gray and then added lighting and shadows on top using overlay, screen, multiply etc with a grayscale palette I created.
I never thought to use gray values!! I’ve never seen anyone use grayscale this way and it’s beautiful. It helps it feel less digital and rigid which is something I struggle with from time to time.
