Hello fellow steemians!
This is the last part of the mini sequence of posts related to my painting process, you can check the previous articles here and here where I talk separately of every aspect that I think is important in a drawing.
Continuing now with the color process.
1- Basic Colors
As I had suggested in the previous text much of the "heavy work" has already been defined with light and shadow values, at this stage I like to create a separate layer with the "hardlight" filter selected to set the basic colors of my drawing.
2 - Variations
Because variety is the spice of life, in digital painting is also no different ... the use of a few shades of different colors make the image more interesting.
3 - Rendering
From that point I begin to define the details in the painting, I like to start first by the clearest areas.
4 - Refining
Perhaps the most entertaining (and most time-consuming) stage of the painting process is where I like to feel free and explore the widest variety of textures, colors, and volumes depending on the paint.
5 - Finishing
Finally I apply more colors, I adjust some colors with filters ... hue and saturation ... everything that is included in the package, feel free to do experiments!
Thanks!
