So without further ado, let's jump right into this video One thing I need to do. I need to go ahead and drag a picture So y'all can see y'all can follow along so I'm gonna drag the original photo Inside software, so give me Give me a quick Me a quick second. There we go. That's what we're doing. I'm in for the job. Thank you for the job That ain't y'all probably like what what is that? It's Michael Jordan, but I'll get y'all here's out the girl man. I know what y'all thinking But you hear it out the girl man, but I'm on the side just so y'all can see Yeah, we're gonna play some right there I don't want y'all to be able to see me through this time step by step. You feel Me drag it down some so we can put it Let's put it behind this stuff Okay, there we go don't drag them right there Just so y'all can see The picture I'm looking at and how we gonna goddamn you know I'm saying follow along with the original every time I'm doing shadows and shades I look at the original picture and I pretty much just follow the tones. I see in the original picture so Go ahead and make a copy of my line work. I went ahead and drew my line work So we can hurry up and get to the shading part because the main focus of this video will be shading Let me um import my color palette Which will be in the description below if you're trying to buy the chihuahua color palette man, so Let me see. Let me go ahead and point import my Double click it double click that and not that thing off in What color what based on we gonna start out with we'll start with this one Yeah, we'll start with that Fill me go ahead and drag this color Over the entire picture Right click the color go to arrange center back So it'll fall right behind my line work Then i'm gonna highlight everything together And click merge on my pathfinder Then i'm gonna right click my color go to isolate select group And then select the outer color and hit delete Let's go ahead Play the color inside his eyes holding shift Just hurrying up Just a little base color down bottom one. That's pretty straight right now now I'm gonna make a copy of our color layer Lock the bottom color layer And turn the eye off on the bottom color layer go to the one in the center hit this little arrow Hit the arrow again Then we're gonna stroll down to the last black line work Keep the top tool unlocked and we're gonna Close that back And we're gonna delete The skin out of that layer Skin color We just locked our black line. So we won't make a mistake and delete The uh The line work we won't make mistake and delete that And go ahead and delete this like this Make sure I get all the little colors out his hairs I bet now we're gonna turn the eye back on on the bottom color layer Lock that lock all the layers create a new layer And put it in between The layer we just created with just the uh The lips and the eyes And it's right above the color layer. So this is gonna be our shading layer So let's go ahead Let's start with the shading man Go to my my pencil tool. I shade strictly using the pencil tool I don't use nothing else to shade with just my pencil tool So double click your pencil tool make sure your settings look exactly like you see here Then hit okay Okay, make sure Make sure your color is at the top and the bottom one is locked And the reason we did that little process I did where you got in open the layer and you delete all the got in I mean you lock all the black lines The reason I made that layer So when we do our shadows and shades it'll fall right behind The lips and the eyes You know what I'm saying? So now what I'm gonna do is I'm looking at the original photo And we just gonna follow along I'm gonna start with his nose. I just follow exactly Try to do duplicate I said duplicate duplicate try to duplicate or mimic The photo, you know, I'm saying draw exactly what you see On the picture. So I'm just following The original photo Like that We just following the tones that we see On the original. Oh, it's good. I need to bring this Up a little higher and it's up like this like this But y'all see what I'm doing. I'm just following Following the uh original photo. I'm gonna put I'm placing all the different tones exactly where I see See them on this picture So I start with one color And then I do all the shadows with that one color and then I move to a even darker color the next time and I do all the shadows I can with that color then I move down even darker then I Just stay repeating that same process So I'm gonna Finish this layer out Strictly using this tone Before I go to the next color And we're gonna go a little darker right after this But I'm just looking at the original photo You just got to steady it with your eyes And everywhere I see the tones that's why I place them and it's all like this Then you bring this over like that Right in that bed like this We're gonna bring this a little higher. Oh, it's this Come like that Then this little Popping right here Then all this gonna be filled in And the more you practice the better you'll get just following it All this gonna be filled in Because it's working this way over like this Make on this way A little highlight Start right here And all this is filled in Okay Come on this side of the face Bring this tone over like this I just steady the picture as much as I can So you got to do just draw Put the tones exactly where you see them. Don't try to do nothing different from what you see I'm just placing the shadows Exactly where I see them on the original photo. Okay. I notice this tone. Come on Like this Just like that we make a progress And all this gonna be filled in. So let's just feel this in What we can You got a little light spot right here Feel Feel all this in coming together mine and we just We just got one tone on here. You know what I'm saying? We need to start adding the Transitions. So that's how you already know it's gonna be a dope picture What are you doing good on your first? Your first tone Bring this up like that All this gonna be dark Come over like this Cool. You're gonna come up like this. Just like a little Shut up right here There we go Bring this up some Like that and now let's add this. I see this You got a little Michael joy Go ahead and do this Tongue on the ear It's over Like that, right? Okay, we finish Finish with the first tone I we gotta go a little darker. So let's create a new layer and put it right above that layer I'm gonna go down A little darker me Let's start adding these. I'm still studying the picture It's all about training your eyes Oh, this you got a people's shadow right here Feel me I'll just go through the picture Looking at the original photo So, slow that building and adding my different tone So, all you got to do is just Follow the original photo That's all I do. I just keep following it and then like before you know it when I look at my picture at the very end Everything we just put together so perfectly You feel me So I just Just follow what I see That's all you got to do Draw what you see Tongue get a little darker right here Right here like this Come down just a little bit Over like this This Come on like that Let's come on over like this Build this in Let's it get darker and make all this darker like that Let us show and shadow down some So this lip don't look so So it don't look so bright, but it's a little See I'm still looking at the original photo y'all That's all I'm doing studying The original photo Let us come over like this Like this And just like that You feel and it's over like that And it's coming together, man See I gotta make this Gotta bring this tone over something Could it get real? Dark right here Then it come up right here Also This line It's a little more darker See the more you go along you start noticing little Little details and little spots you miss that you can go back and add So that's why I say it's important To just really focus on your reference picture And making sure you ain't missing No little detail You got to really pay attention to detail when you're doing Your shadows so you can know where to place your tones Because that's all it is just knowing where to place everything knowing when to uh Transition to a darker color or knowing when to transition it to a lighter color So I just stared this picture the original photo I'll just make sure I ain't missing nothing Because everything count just over like that like this I'll just go back to this ear It's dark right here And this come on round Like this just like that Also It'll get real dark on here I'll get right in this tone On round like this You know what I'm saying? And it's up Shading is really easy once you figure out The formula, you know what I'm saying? Once you understand It's gonna get real easy to you That's why you just got to practice you got to practice into it become easy to you It took a while for me to learn how to do shading and shadows and stuff But once I figured it out, I was like dang it wasn't that hard as I thought it was So the more you do it the more you'll start to understand it and realize It's very simple It's just following exactly what you see. Okay now that we did that What we about to do We need to go to our next color. But before we go to our next color I want to go back to the first shadow we placed down And I want to tweak that color a little bit So I'm gonna highlight everything for the object Expand and I'm a click merge That's all those lines can become one on that layer And I want to make this layer Just a tad bit Orangey or if that make any sense. I should have been my raider Okay, that's oh no That's a little too goddamn. Let me see. I need to switch it to like a I'm gonna Color honey Just gotta tweak it a tad bit man. You know why I'm so stuck on playing with the colors Even though I got color palettes. I still tweak the color sometimes and play with them Okay, that'll do That'll do for now So now let's create us a new layer at the very top I'm gonna go even darker now I get darker with these tones man. The more tones you start to add The more like three-dimensional it'll start licking Start looking more 3d-ish at this darker tone I'm still looking at my original picture Trying to place These tones exactly what I see them on the original. So that's all it is man. Just Get you a picture Whatever you join just copy that picture and try to Study what all those different tones it and place it exactly where you see them On your picture. I don't try to do nothing different. Just exactly how you see Where you see it's darker it. That's where you place your dark shadows where you see the light shadows That's where you place the light shadows and I always go from light to dark And it's like that good so far When they're seeing like this Ain't this over like this this area is Dark right here. It's real dark right here Just going over Michael Jordan, man. I think I'm gonna go to his uh The base tone We gonna make that Gonna make the base color a little goddamn a little darker because choosing the right colors like Having your colors smoothly transitioning into the next color It makes a big difference as well. That's why I tweak my colors a lot Like my color palette sometimes it be dead on But then when you dealing with skin tones and a lot of different types of people It's everybody got different shades of skin tones. So My color palette is a good base It'll give you a good start and then you just tweak from there So most of the time I start out using my color palette And then I got ain't tweak it sometimes So I'm gonna tweak this color. I like that color Because I wanted to transition a little better too to the next color And we're gonna make that color A little darker as well So let me go to Edit color adjust color balance Make them adjustments We're gonna make that a little darker And also get a little brighter right there It's coming together, Mike Let me go back to that color because that color gotta have a little uh Gotta have a little Like my eyes getting better with these colors too It's spotting what I need to change Need to add a little red to it. I think that'll want to do That's one percent Okay We looking good, Mike So what I'm gonna do Now that we got those tones Looking the way it is Let's go back to his face I'm gonna go to back to my color palette And we finna add A highlight layer That's what a light is reflecting now On this layer. I'm looking at my photo and you see On the uh, dang I wish I can show y'all You see on the photo like what what a light is reflecting like the little The little white spots on his face. I'm focusing on all those areas That's what I'm focusing on The highlight area So you see how the light is hitting off his nose I'm trying to Draw that out on all the highlights how the light is reflecting off his face And this over like this And the light come right here And it go up a little bit come back down like this And come over like that and then like this Then it just work its way up and it slowly breaks off right right about right here Then You got a highlight right here and it comes up heavy right here. It starts right here And it slowly break off It's smaller Big right here Like that Start right here I'm just looking at the original photo And I'm slowly I slowly just build the whole picture just by Paying attention To the different tones and how they transition Study in my reference photo I'll leave right so My pencil too I'm dead in here Need to put a highlight On his ear So it's like a little What's wrong? Right there Right there I would have drew his earring, but I just wanted to focus on the focus on Shade in the face Really, I just forgot to put it on now, but We don't need to focus on the earring anyway. We just Shutter right there No What we gonna do Just create us another little You can take it as deep as you want to take it man. There's no the more tones you add The better your picture can turn out to it. Okay. That's the same color I got I need to go to this dark dark Okay, and we gonna tweak that shadow the shadow I just added or maybe we got Let's see if we got it Somewhere already on our color palette So I'm gonna tweak though Because it ain't got a tone. I'm looking for for this picture So let's go right here To it's cool Cool. It's still looking at my reference photo. Micah Jordan man legend Micah Jordan tell y'all my favorite basketball player since we Shade him one My favorite basketball players are all time It could be in any order like If I had that name 10 It had to be like Micah Jordan off rip. You gotta be your number one That thing Ella iris you know what I'm saying LeBron Kobe Vic Vince Carter He would a guy it's a lot of them. I like after that, but they're my main ones like You know shake gotta have shaking the top But you know the main guys, but My top three my top four. I gotta say four not top five Top five list, you know, Kobe gotta be that thing Jordan iris and LeBron And I don't know who gonna get that fifth spot I'm still looking at the picture trying to see what I missed See any tones I can go back and help out a little bit and I see it We need to go back to the uh The first tone we created need to bring that a little closer now that we got all the other ones Tones laid out I hate when they keep the picture highlighted in that purple because it kind of distract me sometimes Bring this old That this old Keep We are more finished I just like to add Touches man I'm gonna try to get it right a nice little picture man. I'm gonna bring this up a little higher That also I'm gonna bring this a little closer Bring this tone like that Fill in with that tone And pretty much go to the next Pretty much can go to the next tone. Let's go back See what tone this is Can we bring this tone a little closer? Yeah, I see some areas See some areas we need to touch on on that layer. And that's what I do. I just keep going through the picture And I try to spot as much detail as I can Because the more you add in your picture the better it'll look But that's why it's good. It's steady your reference As much as you can man It's over like this Closer like that Pretty cool cool Boy look like Micah Joy And it's up Fill in the end of the picture Okay, okay A layer that was okay Let's go back it out Add our little touches on this layer We're trying to get this thing looking sharp man This tone Come on up like this And it come in And break off like this And it swirl back Just like that Break up like this a little darker Bottom This chin Let's go up a little darker on this Around this little The darker right here In this corner It's all about building man You just got to learn how to build your colors That's all I'll be doing is just building So it started out simple But the more you slowly add it builds so So you trying to get the hang of it you can just stay You can find the same Micah Joy and picture online And you can just slowly watch this video and just see How I was slowly building The tones and you know, I'm still building You just got to learn how to study your photos Learn how to study your reference Now what we gonna do Wait, wait, wait. What layer I was on? Okay, I see what layer I'm on. Let me go back to Was that the tone I needed? Yep, that's the tone I need to see Because I seen something I was missing and it's right here. Keep paying attention to the small detail What we can do Let's go back to our highlight layer create a little right above that To make a highlight that's a little brighter inside the highlight layer. Let's show that light reflect So instead of just going straight to the color white You want to make it transition into it. So we slowly Getting brighter. I'm still studying this picture y'all. That's all you got to do Let's look at the original right here. All right, Adele That's a highlight Adele I'm pretty much There we got it, man You know, we can just keep going on and on adding details. Y'all know me But I ain't gonna go too far into it Let's try to show y'all How to got that ain't do it, man Adele, let's go ahead and add some shadows inside the eyes And the lips Let me get my little Put my little color pattern right there just like you can feel Got a shadow on these lips. I ain't think I'm just looking at the reference All of this like this Like that The rest of too It's darker tone What a light reflects and my good job, man In his eyes I'm going to let the very top Michael Jordan Create a new layer at the very top We go to my gradient this gradient to Leave these two little bright colors Double clear the color on the edges And turn that bottom number to a hundred Pull this to the center For this little closer It's brighter.
