Wow this is stunning and very informative. I had never thought to do a value layer and then just create anoter soft overlay layer above and fill with color, smart! But I do wonder, how did you make the scale on Toothless? You said you painted them, or are they a textured brush? ANd I never overly understood how those brushes work...typically they are created to go a certain direction and for patterns but I still haven't figured out how to incorporate them. I guess it's time for some experiments then

Amazing, thanks for sharing! So you used a texture brushes for his clothes? I've tried using some, but I can never get it to look right. How did you go about putting it on top of the color?

What do you usually set your dpi to? I can never figure out the right amount.
By the way, I love the final product.

The bigger the better! Haha
But generally, I draw at whatever size will shrink to 25% of the original size at the end

Also I just had a few more questions pop up (sorry).
What exactly is a "values layer?" And can you explain to me how you do your coloring?
Thanks!

Value artistically generally means the scope of how light or dark something is. So, in this picture, I would paint the light and dark 'values' first, and then add color overtop

So on one layer you will fill in for lighting, then put in the colors on a layer above with a layer mask?

Brilliant work! Simply stunning! Though, I am curious, did you paint all Toothless scales individually or did you use/make a brush?

That is amazing!
Especially since you said you didn't have a lot of experience with dark scenes...I'm blown away!
You have talent, and not just a little bit, but in truckfuls! (if that's a word. ha.)
