I recently bought my Minecraft skin as a cartoon avatar on Fiverr and would also like to learn to paint like that.
Sketching and tracing in a new layer are no problem. My question is about inserting the colors.
Why does he do this in this characteristic way by coloring everything in one color and then changing it again?
I look forward to your tips or YouTube tutorials on the subject.
Tip: Reduce the playback speed.
What exactly do you mean by change?
The colors are changed to find the best one by testing.
But if you think why only areas are always filled in one color, I recommend you to watch videos on the topic of "Layers".
In short, you work your way from the lowest level (e.g. The skin) to the top level (clothing, any foreground objects). Each layer on its own "work surface". So you can change the colors, transparencies of individual elements afterwards (e.g. Dyeing clothes, making them slightly transparent).
Could you go into my example a little more in your explanation? For me it is pretty hard to understand. Or he just tried out a little with the colors. Can also be.
For example between 00:12 and 00:14.
First a layer is created for the "basic color" of the coat, then one for the color of the shading. Both are independent of each other, so they can be colored as desired. Which is what he does there.
In the same way, the green and blue light effects are on their own layer so that they can be provided with transparency. 00:15 - 00:17
I see. So did he work with layer masks?
I can't tell you if they're used. Only the artist can do that.
But for shades that only affect the figure, that makes sense.
Thank you for your informative answer. Do you have a recommendation for tutorials? Or is that enough for the layers? I already have a little basic knowledge.
Someone I love to watch is Jazza.
I think in the video this is pretty well explained. But you should be able to speak English!
That's no problem.
