I love this colouring. I'm only just trying to get into colouring. Can you help me out? How did you get started? What did you play around with? HOW did you know what to play around with and what everything does (adjustment layers, selective colouring values, blending modes, opacities, textures etc.)? I'd be super proud of myself if I managed to achieve this sort of an effect on my own.
These are such good questions because I totally remember what I felt like when I first opened up Photoshop. It can definitely be overwhelming at first.
But what I did was I searched through this community for different types of tutorials. I memmed them for future reference, and then I just picked some images I wanted to edit, and went for it. I find that just playing around with the colors, blend modes, opacity, and adjustments really helped out.
Definitely utilize what icon_tutorial is offering though, because when I first started out, it helped me figure out what to use and how to use it to my advantage.
Try to see what other techniques tutorial makers present and test them out for yourself. Then try to incorporate them into a style you find best fits you. The steps I wrote out are basically the same steps I use for practically everything I edit.
If you need anything else just let me know! I'd be happy to answer any questions! :D
Yeah this comm is helping out big time, there's some great tutorials here and I've already tried a couple and noticed the commonalities between them and then tried some on my own. Still, the results I get aren't anywhere as awesome as what you've got here, but it's a start I suppose. I was even more clueless about colouring before this comm, but at least I have some idea now.
That comm is very unique and a fountain of information. If you read all the tutorials there you'll understand how the essential tools and adjustment layers work, instead of just aimlessly playing around (which is also really smart to do though, we learn best by doing things in our own pace and in our own way most of the time) You'll be a pro in no time. The community is also tagged really really well, so if you're looking for something specific, I strongly suggest using the them :)
homg thank you so much ;o; i've always stuck with either dark colours or light colours for colourization, I never even though of using a dark colour to tone it down. <33333 thank you ;D
