hey kevin! i kind of wing it with the values, i just build gradually from one base color and try to check as I'm adding colors whether they feel harmonious. then I just kind of wing it from there when it comes to adding detail. I think my 'sculpting with color' tutorial explains it pretty well, the way I build color and then use that as my jumping off point for detailing: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tutorial-with-53897099 i hope that answers your question! if not, don't hesitate to let me know!

Can I ask how you decide the range of a gradient ? Something I noticed while doing master studies is that the larger the contrast in values ( I mean values that sit directly next to each other ) the less clear the rendering is up close. For instance richard schmidt though a traditional abstract artist his paintings read extremely clearly from a distance but zoom in and rendering is extremely rough. I love your work and I noticed unlike a lot of Digital artist you seem to vary from piece to piece, I know the above is early access but its stunning, If I zoom in on the left eyes lower eye lid for instance, on the drawing on the right its one shape with I think maybe 3 values , from a distance it has a polished rendered look, up close you see you've used such simple quick details. Sorry long message , Do you decide these value ranges while painting or do you plan before hand ? ( Sorry again if I'm getting this all wrong )

The pleasure is mine! Thank you for creating wonderful content and videos. I especially love watching your traditional work. :)

hey matylda! I actually did record the process for this so I will try to edit it and post it soon!

Loish

i totally agree actually! i wanted to get a more complex faceted look but the rougher version works better with the simplicity. thanks for your kind words!

Loish

thanks! i was thinking that one would be interesting for a more detailed piece :)

Loish

ohh that's a great exercise too! very curious to see how that one turns out!

Loish

I love it. This si really good idea. I have to try that too ❤️😍 I have similar idea artwork in process but I gave the person texture of fruit (strawberries)

Abby Camerer

Wow these blew me away. I'm going to try to copy these as a study to learn about how you did this! I hope you decide to put out a process video!

Slow Burn Studio

I’d love to see a full picture. Especially moonstone.

Someone Somewhere

Wow they remind me of holographic party cellophane 😍 I love these!! Good job! 💕

Niquey

Amazing! I know an artist who did (and is still doing) a series of characters based on gemstones. I myself have OCs based on gemstones ^ ^

Emily Cartier

I’d love to see more in this vein, the color choices you’re making here are fascinating.

Krista S

These are beautiful!

Atılay Sargın

Crystal glow! ✨💕

Blushnik

They are so beautiful! The stone translates so well, it's just breathtaking 🥰💙

Sophie Meyer

These are really beautiful. Would love to see more! I feel like that the likeness to these gemstones comes across almost better when you applied just the flat colours. I love texture normally but think that in this case it would look more like precious stone if the surface lools more polished and shiny and has less grain, if that makes sense? Really love the colours as well!x
