wow nathan you're literally reading my mind. ive been taking your colour and light class on schoolism and was trying to paint colour into a grayscale painting for an assignment and it was haard.
while a gradient map would have been "faster" it wouldve suffered from the issue Nathan Fowkes talked about; Midtones pick up the most colour, whereas White and Black pick up the least. Since your Dealing With Cool Light here primarily, the midtones wouldve been overly affected by the Cool Light, when really the Mid Tones should be mostly influenced by a "mid-way" between Warm and Cool, which would be Yellow in this case (in between Red and Green/blue). While the Coolest parts, would be a Blueish Green instead of just green.
@@Davidgopaint you can control color value and sat at all points in a gradient map :) I don’t think this would be faster though, for best results you’d have to have a gradient map for each element, or at least one for each value group or foreground, midground, background. I don’t use it a lot though so I’m sure someone else has a more efficient method. I like it best to turn a b&w thumbnail into an underpainting
i find it confusing, that you need to grab such saturated colors for the "color" mode to look right. maybe i just have a hard time mixing the value of the picture with the chosen color

I love those details about the leafs and red/browns in it that a lot of people don't think about
same, due to photosynthesis, the parts affected by sunlight are more "green" whereas the parts unaffected are more brown/desaturated.

Digital tools are so intimidating, thank you for actually going through all your reasoning both form a logical stanpoint, but also a technical one!
Best teacher I know! Thanks for all you do for the art community, Nathan!
I love the composition in this painting!!!!!!! I am so wanting to take your classes!
Nice job Nathan. I listen realtime, why speed of the chill delivery voice people? Thats pure Fowkes. He's eaaaasy listenin'...
Thank you! This is really good painting and your video helped me a lot. Thanks thanks thanks
Thank you so much
Really good and informative vid mate, nice one. Looking forward to applying a few of these processes myself!
Great tip for Digital Painting. Thank you :)
Have you tried gradient maps before? I think they're quite helpful and super fast when it comes to coloring b/w images.

I like how the greys take on a colour with the nearby addition of some red. The greys can almost look yellow or blue grey to my eyes. Thanks.
Hey Nathan
But I think that’s an African elephant ;-) … enjoyed the video,. I’m just getting started in digital art.
I felt called out with the 1.5x comment, but I wouldn't do that to your voice-over's rhythm.
