@demotlj I love seeing everyone's process-OK we need a new thread now..."Share your process!"

Who will accept this great responsibility?

I really appreciate the fact that you share your process.

You're most welcome Though it's not really my process. It's all those SVS lessons comin' through.

that is why your pieces are soooo successful

They're certainly inching closer and closer to the consistent B/B+ range instead of the D/C- with a few random B's mized in range

@lmrush The fact is I like looking at everyone's process so my comment applies to you as well

@Braden-Hallett This looks smashing! I can already tell it would be an awesome addition to your portfolio. I'm also thankful that you're sharing your process.

braden H

@shinjifujioka Thanks! I probably keep saying this, but storytelling's something I'm definitely trying to work on Slooooooowly gettin' better at it.

@Braden-Hallett Super fantastic concept and execution! Coming late to this thread. I love everything about this, especially the composition, Godzilla in the background, and the robot design, and the industrious kids. So professional.

lmrush

@Braden-Hallett your work is so professional every time!

Basic light map!

I keep things a little dark until I add colour so I have somewhere to go when I paint.

Susan Marks

@demotlj I agree-I suggested that the guys do a 3 point perspective on "what's my process"--they often refer to it, as in "well it took me a really long time to do a drawing, illustration until I got my process down.."

@Braden-Hallett So complex image. Can't wait to see the coloured version.

It[s coming along pretty nicely. I can’t wait till it’s finished

@Braden-Hallett this is coming along nicely. I do love seeing your process as well. Definitely shows the holes in mine and where I need to work on improving my process. Thanks for sharing and reinforcing all the great stuff we learned in class.

Little colour studies. I'm trying more for 'flavour' of light and BIG local colours rather than making it look like a mini finished painting.

@Braden-Hallett I like the green sky. Green just goes with Godzilla. Not sure what you would do with the robot color if you do a green sky though... maybe try a rust-ish color? Play green off red?

braden H

@Susan-Marks That would be neat to have a podcast on it, but they've all got videos in the subscription that goes into each of their processes in detail for the most part

@theprairiefox Green really does go with godzilla but I really love the idea of the city in the background on fire.

Heather Boyd

@Braden-Hallett

I like the purple sky. It’s both warm and cool and is a nice breather from the burning of the city but maybe have the kids in the foreground have the orange glow of the 5th work.

I so sorry if I’ve asked this before but how do you apply the colour on top of your black and white while keeping the pencil/brush strokes in your black and white, overlay is the only way I know, but your colours are much nicer?

braden H

@Heather-Boyd I use a colourize layer. In Painter it effects only the hue and saturation leaving the values completely alone. So it's a lot like using an overlay layer while keeping the value at 128 except that I can just pick whatever colours I want instead of having to worry about the value of the colour I'm using

I'm pretty sure the comparable layer type in photoshop is a 'colour' layer. Though I could be wrong.

The trick I find is to start with fairly unsaturated colours (under 64 or so) and then pick things you want to shine through with higher saturation.
