Every time I try to watch this video it stops just before the 6min mark and says ‘error’. Doesn’t matter what platform/browser I’m using.

Grace

thanks so much!

Loish

This tutorial is a game changer and life saver. By game I mean my art game. By life I mean the life this will give to my stiff and muddy looking poor characters. Awesome work!

Arianna Tamiles Maiello

This was the best art tutorial I've ever seen. No cap. And I've seen quite a lot 😅

faethe

That would be awesome!! If it’s not too much trouble? Thank you!

i'm so glad you found it helpful!! really happy to hear that it clicked for you :) if you want to share the results of your work, you can always send me an email over at loishh@gmail.com!

This has helped me find the missing puzzle as to why my character's skin tones looked lifeless and dull. I learned a lot from you on how to improve my painting skin tones. Thank you! I was now able to bring my character to life, add vibrant colours in the right places and using the references way better. This video has provided the best breakdown step-by-step on how to and how not to do skin tones. I've also learned to change my painting workflow before adding shadows. Wish i could show you my before and after artwork. Thanks again! :3

Kaspo

thanks so much jason! if there's anything specific about the process that you'd like to know about in more detail, feel free to reach out through DMs. I can always make a tutorial or step-by-step about it in the future!

Loish

Omg this is awesome

Plus Baby

Excellent information. Thank you! I've been frustrated as I've been trying to learn to paint digitally. Your paintings are beautiful. I need to watch the video about 20 more times to digest it all.

JASON WILLIAMS

yes, same here! as soon as I've got a reference in front of me, I get kind of lazy with the stylization, haha. that's why it really helps me to have a strong focus when i make studies!

Loish

I just watched the tutorial and it's super useful! One thing that particularly stood out to me is your tip about blending mindfully. I feel like I always tend to overblend because I feel like I need to make my painting look more similar to the reference (which isn't always a good thing but i can't help it.) I'll try to be more mindful in my studies!

multiply layers are a great tool and i use them here too! but usually very light colors (towards beige) to keep it 'blended in' so to speak.

Loish

Hi! I usually add shadows with a vibrant multiply layer which quickly leads to the painting getting wayyy to dark. Can't wait to try out your tips and see how it goes :D (and thanks for the vid!!)

Vera Reits

happy to hear that! thank you :)

Loish

glad you liked it! i think if you're pushing yourself to see all the color variation you can, you might see different colors than i did! in the end i think it's not important which exact colors you see, but to give your own twist on all those variations and subtle color shifts :)

Loish

so happy to hear that! thank you for your support :)

Loish

Thank you so much Loish!!! my work has drastically improved by following your tutorials. Love all your artwork its is sooo amazing!!. You're one of my favorite artists <3

During this whole video I kept trying to guess what color you would say you saw in your reference photo. I maybe got it right half the time. I was like "Wtf is she seeing there that is purple?!". I don't suppose you can do a tutorial on "Not Being Color Blind" or something for guys like me :D People tend to like the ways I do color without a reference, but part of me thinks that's because the way I see color is broken and that makes its cool to them. Anywho, thanks again. OH! and also thanks for posting that reel of the fall painting. Its super awesome to see how something I have in my house was made!

Cluisdotorg

I love this tutorial!! Very helpful. Thank you Loish 🙌

Lucía Navarro

Whenever I draw people it always looks muddy, so happy with this tutorial! I feel like I’m always afraid to go into other hues, but your explanation of relative colours really helped with that. Thank you! ♥

Nathalie

So helpful and love seeing multiple practical examples of your tips! Working on a portrait now and definitely feel like this is going to help me a lot!
