On starting grayscale:

Yes, in a way it IS faster to start with grayscale. However, to turn grayscale images into convincing colour requires a good understanding of the effects of various layer modes in your drawing programme of choice, and oftentimes if you are not careful with colours you might end up with an image that is too dark or too saturated.

Additionally, colours often change the focus/shape of a picture, especially if you put saturated+neutral and/or cool+warm combinations together. Again, you need to plan the colours correctly, or you'll risk changing the focal point by accident.

However, values ARE important, since they are what makes a two-dimensional image look three-dimensional; various artists often recommend using a Desaturate adjustment layer, or a Color mode layer filled with white, as a sort of temporary screen over the image to check a digital painting's value range as you paint.

Of course, this is mostly moot in digital painting where anything goes, especially in the more complex programs like the full editions of Photoshop or Painter, where you can adjust your colours and values on the go. It comes down to preference and habit, really Marta Dahlig and Da LuVisi, for example, paint straight away in colour, while Dave Rapoza starts in grayscale before building colour on top of of the grayscale image.

me too..i start straight with colours.. find it easier to adjust that way.. but ive never succeeded once doing grayscale on digital .. somewhat feels awkward :/

drawing really need mood ler.. havent lay a finger on my wacom .. couldnt get the mood to draw again since i resign from a part-time position as a drawing artist in some book publishing company . cuz when i was working...drawing like 14 hours a day really makes me sick of drawing liao XD

Refinement:



Right side of the face is a bit rounder than it should It makes him look more "organic", though, hmmm... to adjust or not to adjust, that is the question...

I thought u are a programmer?
wahlao two timing?

yeah,such a dilemma.

if u leave it that way...I think,other than giving out that organic feel...it can also tell story indirectly to the viewer,dark past etc. yeah african american dilemma.(yah his left cheekbone is damaged in gangfight)

but thats me with my imagination...it can also lead towards people concluding that the artist is careless.

@ Adam

Mmm... he's born into privilege, though, so gangfights are unlikely. Later he'll encounter several supernatural events, but I'm not supposed to show that yet I'll have to see what my client has to say about the face
