Aww, thank you so much!
I just say the truth, your art is my inspiration, but I never get these colors.
Thank you very much! I think your gallery has great potential. I especially adore Second Skin. I play around a lot with Photoshop layer properties and color adjustment tools. For this piece, I started in grayscale and established the colors afterwards using a mix of overlay and re-painting on top.
Thank you too, you make me happy to read this. When you finished the grayscaled one, how to you color it? Just layer on layer? 'Cause I started in grayscale one time and I tried it out. But the glimmer of the grayscale didn't disappear.
Yeah, I use a lot of different layer effects like "color" "hue" "saturation" "overlay" "color burn" etc. But yes, you're right, some of the grayscale feeling will always remain if you only use layer effects. That's why I always finish up with a lot of painting in the end. After I'm done using layer effects on grayscale, I'm usually at maybe 40% finish. The rest 60% is through my usual coloring/painting on top.
I'll try it. Maybe I'll lose the gray feeling. Thank you for your answer.
