Hi guys,
some people asked me how i am drawing my pictures- so i decided to record a little video to show my work process -

as you can see it is the german version of photoshop - so i will explain some of the things i did while i was drawing this piece so everyone can understand it .

- i started with a simple sketch and cleaned it up a little bit (flipping the canvas is a good way to see the mistakes you made- that way you have some kind of different view on the picture and can find them more easily)

- i created a new layer over my sketch layer and set the mode to ---multiply---. here i did the flat colours and painted all over the picture

- after that i created an ---adjustment layer--- ( layers>adjustment layer>curves) and played around with the settings so i got a darker picture. now i filled the adjustment layer with a black colour and started painting on it -- and there we have shadows

- i added a new curves adjustment layer and set the mode to ---screen--- and worked just like the layer before- fill it with black and paint on it with white

- when im satisfied with the lights and shadows I create a new layer on top of all the layers and start painting on top of it all - when im finished you almost wont see anything of the outlines

- i added a new adjustment layer on top of this one (you already know how this works now ) and lightened up the shadows a bit

- when im finished with that i do some final color corrections et voila

Wow das ist wirklich beeindruckend. Du benutzt allein zum Colorieren gerademal 2 Ebenen und den Rest mit Regler-Ebenen (eine Funktion, die ich so noch gar nicht kannte). Du benutzt hauptsächlich einen sehr breiten, waagerechten Pinsel - gibts den schon so in deiner Photoshop-Version oder hast du dir den selbst erstellt? Es ist leider nicht so deutlich, ob dieser Pinsel irgendwelche Eigenschaften, wie z.B. Verläufe, Härte usw. hat - kannst du darüber etwas erzählen?
Jedenfalls vielen Dank für diesen Einblick in deine Arbeitsweise, das war wirklich sehr lehrreich
Mach bitte weiter so, deine Werke sind spitze!

There isn't a shortcut for that in Photoshop, you'll just have to resort to going into the menus.

ich find das video soooo klasse
ich kenne deine tutorials schon seehr sehr lange,
habe VERSUCHT zu zeichnen bevor ich mit der fotografie begonnen hab XD
dann war mir das pc colorieren aber irgendwie zu doof .. ich habs nie gecheckt ..
aber jetzt möcht ichs noch einmal versuchen

eine frage hätte ich, und ich wär dir sooo dankbar wenn du sie mir beantworten würdest!!
beim colorieren fährst du mit dem pinsel und der farbe einfach über die outlines und es bleibt alles schön abgegrenzt, die hautfarbe bleibt genau im gesicht, haarfarbe auch genau dort wo sie sein soll, kein einziger pinselstrich geht über die outlines oder in die andere flächer rüber ..
hast du da irgendwas eingestellt? ich hab mir früher immer die mühe gemacht jede fläche dann mit dem zauberstab zu markieren das ja keine farbe "über" die outlines geht, weil das löschen dann ja auch wieder so mühsam ist ..

kannst du mir da vielleicht helfen? .. wär toll

ah ja, fröhliche weihnachten!

Abuze In reply to milkcookie [2011-08-11 09:38:17 +0000 UTC]

sorry für die späte antwort- hoffe es hilft dir trotzdme noch- in der Layerpalette hast du unter dem feld wo du deine ebene auf normal/multiplizieren etc. stellen kannst das wörtchen "lock" und daneben ein kleines gerastertes kästchen. wenn du deine ebene auf der du die z.b gesichtsfläche gemalt hast nun auswählst und das kästchen drückst kannst du nicht mehr über den rand hinausmalen.

I think that the end product is really good, but in my opinion there are much easier and faster ways to do this, especially with the adjustment layer thing.

not the tutorial for me, but I'm sure many other people might prefer this method.

This is really well done! Thanks for the directions on how to shade the basics, took longer when I did it with a brush alone
But just wondering about the adjustment layer; You seem to be moving the curve-thing up to the left hand side, instead , I have to move it to down to the right hand side, and it manages to mess up. Apprieciate it if you can help
And thanks for a wonderfully easy tutorial ^^,

1000 und 1 für so ein Hammertutorial!!
Das lässt ja absolut nix zu wünschen übrig! Man erhält einen so wunderbaren Einblick in so viele *geile* Techniken... Ich hoffe, ich finde bald Zeit, um mich damit mal richtig intensiv zu beschäfigen um auch mal annähernd so effektiv mit PS zu sein.

& auf einmal.
Und vielen, vielen Dank für dieses Video. Bewegte Bilder sind ja doch noch einen Tick schöner anzusehen, als "ruhende" :>
