Would you ever do a tutorial on how you color?? It just looks really great

hattersarts:

i assume you mean my newer cel shading type of colouring! here’s a run down how i created one of the good omens sketches.

note to start off: i did not complete each step exactly like this, i go back and fix parts of drawings as i go along but this is a breakdown of the order the layers were created in & is my rough workflow currently when colouring sketches.

here’s my brushes since i know some is gonna ask, i just used a nice hardbrush with no opacity for like 90% of it and a soft airbrush for other parts (they should be obvious which was used for what)

the opacity percentages of the layers are not anything useful, i just wanted to give you guys what i was using, i like to be able to adjust every part of the shading so hence so many non-destructive layers.

the atmosphere layer is the one i’ve found the most useful currently, sometimes i just like my images with the flats & atmosphere. Occasionally i’ll colour my lines as well but i still tend to keep the colour very light so the flats details peek through the most rather than the lines dictating the light and dark parts of the image. 

i love this technique at the moment since its great combo of speed & flexibility and nice looking images!!
