Loish

I'm so happy to hear that! this workflow was a huge game changer for me too.

Victoria

Thank you for your great tutorials. Finally I have found a way of thinking that suits me and I actually see a light at the end of the tunnel x.x

Loish

it was such a game changer for me, I'm happy to hear it helps you too!

Thank you, as someone who is constantly afraid of using color, this insight was so helpful. It felt so bad since my colored lineworks just looked like a cartoon, which is fine if you want that style, but I feel much more confident with this method.

Loish

i'm so happy to hear that!!

Once again, this technique has shed light on stuff I just didn't understand. Rendering has been my nemesis since I started doing digital painting and I've tried TONS of ways to do it but your approach is very playful and experimental, which I totally love. My process is different regarding sketching but I gotta say your approach with picking colors and this sculpting technique helped me to understand rendering and apply it on my process in a way I find it satisfying. Thank you very much!!!!

Loish

sometimes you need to lighten them and then use color balance to push them towards a certain tint!

Victoria Cribier

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just don't understand why it doesn't work when I want to change my lines color 🥲 it stays black no matter what

Anara Baidulla

that is so goood

Loish

i use photoshop 2022! just the latest version from creative cloud.

Jennifer Hart

Which version of photoshop do you use?

Loish

yes! I used that one for the 'sculpting' part :)

Clara Galeati

did you use the hard round brush from your pack for rendering?

SirRaivel

Excellent tutorial Loish! This is a great way to coloring and it gives me too much fun!

Loish

so glad you liked it! this is one of my favorite techniques and I'm happy to share it :)

Victoria

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever watched! Playing with color like that is not something I usually do, but the process felt so satisfying, I'm definitely gonna do it again. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Natale LaPlante

THANK YOU so much for this! I've been digitally painting for years and could never seem to get my colors to really pop or give a sense of volume and definition. This will really help me move my art to the next level.

Reelynn

Your tutorials are so wonderful!

Cecilia Valente

Loved this tutorial, so full of knowledge, going to try it out, I'm having trouble adding color to my sketches...thank you Loish

motiongach Gach

Yes it does! Thanks for taking your time on this 🖤

Loish

hey! no worries at all! In this context, rendering means to detail / paint / finalize the art. so basically the early stages are sketching and adding color, and the final stage of elevating the detail and applying the paintwork is rendering. does that help explain it?

motiongach Gach

I need to ask this question. What do you mean with the word 'render'? Context: I'm not native english speaker, so I understand the word Render like in After Effects or a 3D export at a final version, but here it has another meaning or use I think. Could you please explain a little bit, something general just to understand that concept? Thanks so much Loish :)

Niquey

This was very good. It makes me want to let go of my perfectionist methods and try this! Haha

Carla

learning with Loish is leaving the attachment to the sketch and the work already done until to have something I really like it. Thanks Loish

Loish

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! and yes, you describe it perfectly - I set some color choices and then move out from there, gradually adding depth. i hope this workflow yields some interesting results for you :)

Late to the party here (please don't look at the number of unread emails in my inbox. please) but this is SO useful. After you explained it all I could see how you were using it for Rising and other painterly images you've done. In a way it seems you even do this with your lasso styles, less using the same colors on the image, but more a focus on using color as a tool to create depth and volume rather than for its own sake only. I'm usually a line work and cell shade guy, that's what most of my customers want, but I've been trying to branch out into more detailed and lineless digital painting for years now, and it just never makes sense to me. Something clicked with this video and I can't wait to go try it! It's almost like you start by cell shading a rough sketch with some intentional color choices, then morph that into a digital painting by blending and sculpting and adding detail. I've been trying to work in layers as I do with cell shaded images, at least at the rough stage, but never getting any good results. Watching your videos always fills me with creative energy and if I learn something from them I get so excited about trying it, usually with fun results! Thanks so much for all your effort and hard work ♥

Loish

so glad you found it helpful :)

Raven Christineth

I spent so long trying to learn how to do this and you literally helped me in 39 minutes ! Boy do I regret not being a Patreon sooner! Thank you Loish!!!

Loish

that's a really good idea. i'm wrapping up my tutorial for this month and for next month i'll probably do another procreate workflow tutorial!

Sharon Tu

Love this!!! I know you barely use procreate but if you can do some tutorials on the selective tool with feather and shadow it would be awesome. I’ve seen you’re previous one but I love how you use the lasso tool to add depth and volume

Loish

i usually sketch in a greyish color too, just so that it doesn't feel too intense. usually my sketching process is more line-based and i will switch to 'sculpting' once i'm starting to work out the volumes more!

Lauren Nicole

So happy to be back! Do you apply this technique to sketching too? I realized I used sketching with just a dark grey color digitally to avoid using color.

Lauri Panopoulos Lauridesign.com

Thank you

Loish

happy to hear that you like it! it was the same for me.. once i started using this technique, it just all made so much more sense, and my art improved a lot after that.

Loish

hey lauri! I use the latest version i believe! it's the 22.4.3 release.

Loish

i'm glad you found this helpful charlie! Rising took me about 15 hours in total.

Charlie Carter

Thank you so much for this! This is so helpful, especially for me because I am a very lineart oriented artist and I always find that having fun with my rendering becomes so difficult after finalizing my clean lines. I am curious, how long did it take you to complete “Rising” from start to finish?

Lauri Panopoulos Lauridesign.com

Hi Lois, As always, thank you for a wonderful tutorial. Painting this way feels very soothing and intuitive. Btw- which version of Photoshop are you using? Thank you again!

Yousef Abdullah

Very useful tutorial as always. I've been using this technique for a while now, which I've been learning from observing your other tutorials and process videos. It's basically the only technique that has made sense to my brain without making me insane haha. This tutorial makes everything even more clear. Thanks as always Loish!

Rihana Jones

Ive watched many of your painting tutorials and this still taught me some new things! Thanks for making this for us!

Jaina Warren

This process helped me alot with my own drawings, thank you!

Loish

thank you so much!

Ece's Art

Again, such an amazing tutorial! I struggle at shading and rendering digitally so seeing your process helped me a lot. Thank you <3

Piotr Kostecki

Such a great tutorial! Thank you very much! ❤️ It helped me a lot as I lean into this exact style of drawing. Cheers Loish! ❤️‍🔥

Loish

haha sorry about that! you can slow down the speed of the video in case you want to watch it again! hope your vaccine side effects pass quickly :)

Delphitact

Thank you Lois for the tutorial. I just got my vaccine and don't have much energy to draw 😢. This is very helpful and I learned way more than I have before. You caught me off guard too when you changed the eyes so quickly on the first sketch.

Brian Delaney

So excited to check this out! Thank you!

Joshua Baker

Thanks, Lois. This was very helpful.

Miriam Callegari

Thank you Loish, I'm learning so much from your Patreon!

Loish

so glad you find them helpful lynn!

Loish

thanks julia :)

Atılay Sargın

Really helpful tutorial for this month to finalizing the paintings!

Rishabh Saxena

Hey Lois, I see that on 23:46 you start to draw these pink triangles over a dark purple character. One you draw the triangles, there is a small step that I don’t quite understand, but it results in a slightly modified version of the original shape with a more transitioned shade of pink between the large shape and the purple. This is before you talk about the adding the saturated transition color

Julia Jager

Learning so much from seeing your process, thanks for sharing!

Lynn Zammit Russell

Thank you for sharing your painting process with us! I find I am learning so much from all of your tutorials and can already see a big jump in the quality of my work thanks to you. You are an amazing artist and teacher!

Loish

yes, pretty much the same technique! I do aim for sightly more crispness when it comes to clothing so that the folds are more defined.

Loish

glad you liked it!

Loish

hey! I'm so glad you like it! I feel like procreate is a great app to 'sculpt' in this way :) as for your question, could you point me to a timecode where you see this happen? then I can explain it properly to you!

Loish

yes, I have a pro account that allows me to modify the embed settings and also add speed controls to the player!

意拳高松

hey, a question not very related to your work. your video is on vimeo, why i don’t see any vimeo brand on it？very neat. is it because of a higher subscription to them？thank you.

dhaesart

Such a helpful tutorial and great look into your painting process. Thanks so much for making this! 😊

Jennyfer Roussy

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I will go try it now! ❤️

Rishabh Saxena

Thank you so much for sharing this process and your knowledge. I generally like to stay away from painting because it ends up taking away the energy that’s there in the sketch, but your process gives it a whole nother life. I was curious about one thing. A lot of times I see you put down a base shape filled with color and then chip away at it in the same layer to create volume. How exactly do you get that effect? Are you painting over it with the color underneath? I generally use Procreate and was curious how you can do this there

Catherine Calero-Jacobsen

Great tutorial! I’m really fascinated by your ability to work the colors and the shapes, and create such different charachters and moods. I especially enjoyed the last one with random colors, so cool to see how intuitive the process can be. Thanks for sharing <3

Loish

I hope this helps you with your art :)

Loish

happy to hear that this is helpful to you! I hope it works in your process. if you're still struggling after applying these tips, feel free to reach out about it! I'd be happy to help!

Loish

thanks for the kind words krystal!

Lia Maitena

thanks loish!

Pricella

Informative as always Loish! Is your process the same when it comes to sculpting clothing?

Krystal Blackmouth

You are so generous to share your amazing knowledge with us, one of the best patreons on here. Thank you so much! 💓

Gartiry

This is amazing! Thank you so much, I understand now better why my paintings sometimes gets muddy. It’s what you said I blend the highlights and darks and this is a total game changer for me. I believe a lot of the time my paintings are stuck in the cooking phase. I was to confused what techniques I could do to improve to a more rendered version. What happend to me is I just get lost, you made this recipe that for me makes sense in so many ways. I’m very eager to try it out and see how far I can push my shapes and sculpt with color. This looks so much fun to! Thank you Loish :D

Nora

You just save me right now, that's been since the beginning of the year that I'm trying to understand I love doing that without success to apply it. Thank you thank you 🌟
