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.

    • @RiaanMarais
      @RiaanMarais Місяць тому

      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.

      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.

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 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.

    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?

    • @RiaanMarais
      @RiaanMarais 4 місяці тому

      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.

    • @iannnavas
      @iannnavas 4 місяці тому

      @@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?
