heya, this helped me a ton. though of course, i'm still working on how to improve especially with figuring out my lighting and stuff. but i gotta ask coz it wasn't clear with the video, what brushes did you use? where they default brushes with modified settings or custom?

I've been watching quite a few of your youtube videos and they are really helpful, You have taught me quite a bit when it comes to more technical things such as clothing folds and the basic shapes of the nose, even your guidance on art schools and getting your work noticed, thankyou so much

Great tutorial! I love the idea that you can change the colors later if you need to. Thank you very much for sharing your process! It's much appreciated!
I'm curious about one thing though: What colors do you use to paint in the directional highlights / ambient occlusion? Do you use black/white or other color? And why?

I have a question!!
On your video, I saw that your flats are in the same layer. What's the reasoning behind this?
Thanks!! You're awesome!

Thanks a lot for the tutorial! It's the first step-by-step tutorial that I see about Ambient Occlusion painting. I'll be trying that!
Watching this stuff makes me want to draw and paint. I totally needed that.

Interesting how knowledge of 3D shading and layering can help with rendering 2D paintings.

I really like how you do your drawings, not very much to do (Although it would take a while), it is quite impressive.

I like how every artist has their own way of colouring, but yours, yours seems the most simple yet most effective! Your colours stand out to well, and to be honest, your line work at the beginning is amazing! Much love! <3

awesome vid!
just got 1 question (hope i didnt overhear it in the vid):
i didn´t quite understand what the layer locking was for.. what i think you said was that when you locked the grad. layer, in the ambient occlusion step the parts on the lower body half become darker cus of the locked grad. layer.. am i right or ? or what would happen if you didnt lock the layers?
hope you find the time to answer, if not, no prob

Hey Bluefley,
How do you achieve Ambient Occlusion in Photoshop? I've heard about that term in 3D programs only. Thanks

You would basically just take a dark brush and paint into the corners and crevasses of your model, essentially faking the AO effect (which is just a simulation of how light can't bounce into corners very well).

This was a great video series!
I've learned a lot from this and definitely gonna use it when I'm planning to design new characters

what is "ambient occlusion?"
i have an idea but i cant quite put it to words

It's amazing how much life the AO layer brings.
Such a simple concept that is often over looked!
Cheers

I saw this tutorial on Youtube and you had your directional light set on soft light layer mode, why does it say overlay? Did you change it? Btw, great tutorial i learned a lot from this one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did change it after, very similar but I ended up liking the overlay more
Cheers!

Oh, ok, cool. Thanks for letting me know

I always liked Overlay more myself, much more predictable blending than Soft Light.
