Hi! I just finished watching both of your videos, and you were a huge help for the problem I was having. I do have one question though (and I'm sorry if it was answered already!): when you do the highlights, do you place them on the same or a different layer than the shadows? Thanks a bunch!

@TristenN It depends on the look I'm going for. Many times I'll paint with the base color, shadows, and highlights all on one layer if I am trying to do an oil painting style with a lo of blending. If I want to experiment with different looks, I'll put the base color on one layer, the shadows on another and the highlights on another. Sometimes, I may do a painting that has a lot of use of "Overlay" "Soft Light" and "Multiply" modes so I have to keep everything separate. Please watch my....

I vary between 20-75. Depending on what I want. 20 is softer and more like chalk - higher numbers are more like smudging oil paints.

i'm Not Hating Or Anything But The 1st Video Was Good, But The 2nd One Shoulda Been Called: "How To Fuck Around In PS" Not A Tutorial, Coz That's What i Did The 1st Time i Started Using PS.

wrong tecnics ppl, dont get used to use the smudge tool that is the wrong way to blendind colors

This is an excellent source of knowledge for someone struggling with coloring in digital art. Not just photoshop. This would work on Corel, Artrage or any other digital art program. Thank you so much for your videos!

Thank you for your video! I'm just starting out, I've been sketching abstract graffiti for a while, I'm comfortable enough with my skill to want to scan it in, but never knew anything about what you just showed me with highlights and such. I've yet to see an actual video demonstrate the technique of coloring, until yours. Thanks for taking the time! What advice do you have for a beginning artist with aspirations of making paintings as such? I'm subscribing to you RIGHT NOW!
