Dungeons Quick Shading (no voice over)
In this short video, I will show you how to quickly shade a drawing in Photoshop using Solid Colour adjustment layers.
There is no voice-over, but if you follow the cursor, you will most likely understand what I am doing. If the Solid Colour layer does not work for you create a new layer and you should be good to go.
As always, have fun and enjoy the experience. Let your mind roam and imagine what a character would do in each part of your dungeon. Let them live in your environment.

Hello friends I hope you are all good and that you have been busy with something creative this week. I did not plan anything too seriously and started with a rough drawing on a separate layer. Once I had that done I created new layers and used the RGB brushes. I love them because they have a really nice oil paint-like texture to them. I hope you enjoy the painting as I messily paint my way to t...

Part 01 - Basics of Isometric workflow
I like the iso art. I just hope that's not going to be the game's score.
Thank you!
thank you so much for this.. i'm still learning, i still have a lot to learn 😁😁 literally the perfect tutorial
I am glad you liked the video. More to follow! Keep drawing.
Awesome!!! 😁
Thank you!
really interesting workflow, especially when you started changing the colors in photoshop and it translated so well into blender. Your live narration throughout was also very helpful as it made it very easy to understand what was going on and what you were doing.
Thank you!
hello man thank you for this ...well its a simple house to model but modeling it in this way is really time consuming better modeling it normal way then using cam to view it as an isometric?
Yes, this is a rather time-consuming method, but the whole idea is to start from a drawing (or any 2D isometric artwork) and then create a 3D asset from this drawing. I am going to create another tutorial where we start from the 3D asset and make it look more like a hand-drawn asset. Which of course will be a bit quicker and easier to do.
@@RiaanMarais thankx for the fast replay and i am looking forward to it
very useful, thanks!
Thanks!
HOLY #"%& I'm so glad I found your channel I'm aspiring to one day make an isometric game!
Thanks! Just keep at it and it will happen.
great video exactly what i'm looking for
Thank you. More like this is coming soon.
How will you keep the same colors for further objects?
I did this as a quick demo, but creating a colour pallet is an important part of project planning. The better you plan the easier things will be. My suggestion is, when you choose colours for your first asset, paint the base colours on a separate layer called Pallet.
VERY MUCH LIKE TUNIC. Looks great!
Thanks!
This video just popped into my recommend.............. looks good
Thanks!
I want to draw something like this. It really cool
Go for it and feel free to share your drawing with us.
What is that music ? It got me focused and made me pay attention to all your details. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I only use music from Pixabay and I love the music of this particular creator: pixabay.com/users/ob-lix-17147719/
Awesome!!!! 😁
Thank you!
Awesome!!!
Thank you!
Hi there Riaan, hope you're having a great day. Have you considered posting a tutorial about the basics of coloring (which colors to use for which side, how to apply the accents, etc..), and also another tutorial about drawing and coloring isometric characters. It would be fantastic, especially if you could do it in Krita. Keep up the content, honestly awesome to watch :).
Thank you. That is a great idea. I will definitely make a colouring tutorial. Characters are also on the agenda. I am working more in Krita and I would happily make a video tutorial using Krita for it. Thank you again for the suggestions and kind words!
Wow. 😮
😁
Must have taken ages to outline the cliffs. I like the localised shadows.
Thank you for the kind words. I duplicated some of the cliffs I had drawn, flipped them and sprinkled them around. Then I filled in the gaps and created some randomness to hide the fact that I duplicated them. Isometric art is ideal when you want to duplicate and flip parts of your drawing.
Great work!! Tks for sharing!!
Thank you! I like your music very much!!!
Amazing video! Thanks for posting! Let me ask you a question: If you were to create the elements of this scenario for a computer game, such as the buckets, pickaxes, the cave entrance, etc., would you draw them at this size in Photoshop and export them? Or would you create them in a new, larger-sized and 300dpi Photoshop file and later export them at a smaller size using the 'Save for Web' option?
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it very much. I usually keep it in the same document but on a separate layer. Just make your initial document larger than you intend to export (as an example, make it 2048 X 2048 if your plan is to export it as 1024 x 1024. The lines and detail stay much crisper if you do it this way). The reason I would keep it in the same document is for consistency in style, line width and colour matching. It is easier to have it all together than to try and create it in different files.
@@RiaanMarais your answer made so much sense for me! Tks 👏 I drew some assets in other files because the Photoshop file I created was 1080px x 1920px and the lines of the draw was very crisp, as you said! I needed to create it in a different PS file and I sufured a little bit to make the line style very consistent, as you said lol 😆, but in the end the result was ok! But let me ask you another question, please - if one day you need the export the buckets in 3000px x 3000px, for example, you won't be able to do that, right? Because you drew it in a very very very small size, inside that PS file in the video. Am I right?
Excelente, hermoso diseño
Muchas gracias.
Thanks to you, I have learned a lot... Keep it up, a big hug <3
Thank you for the kind words!!! Always a pleasure!
Use a reference isometric grid layer to help keep the projection more consistent.
Thanks. I have since then employed iso-grids.
Very nice.
Thank you!
I started working on an isometric game recently, and this was exactly what I was looking for. Deep dive into your other videos as well. This is very helpful, thank you.
I am really glad that it helped you. Thank you for letting me know.
😍
Nice.
Thank you!!!
Awesome video! I liked it so much! Can you make a video about how to use lights/illumination on Blender? When I'm confused about how to paint light and shadow in digital painting on Photoshop, Blender can help with that by modeling there and adding light.
I am glad you like the video. Sure, no problem. I will create a video explaining how to illuminate a scene in Blender. I will post the link here once it is done.
@@RiaanMarais thank you so much! 😊😊

Wow! I didn't know the "Sketching-2" brush could do that. Your painting skills are very impressive.
Thank you! Play with the other brushes to find a few more hidden features!
A clean and elegant work as always. Love the concept! Well done!
