Description Trying out a different technique by first painting an image in greyscale and them colour it.

I have seen this technique used by many digital painters but never applied it myself. I used to think why paint the same image twice, once in greyscale then in colour. But after using this technique once, I have to say it is not such a bad idea. It is a so much easier to see greyscale values than colour values.

I am fairly happy with how the image turn out but have to refine the technique a lot more.

No, but I Google it and from what I can gather it is a computer game.

Right. I played this when I was a kid and there is a level with a house with stairs looking so similar to the one on the picture. And the woman could be one of the vampires in the house.

Beautifully painted and composed and the colours blend together extremely well. Judging by the look on her face, I don't think she will be happy with what she finds at the top of the stairs.

greyscale really works ^^ may i ask what you did for coloring? i've seen lots of different techniques to color the greyscale painting, and i'm making some experiences with them ^^

i really like the background and her expression is soo great! wonderful work (as always!)

FreyjaSig In reply to ObscureBeauty-Art [2010-07-07 18:05:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I used mixture of overlay, multiply, screen and colour blending modes to colour the image.

ObscureBeauty-Art In reply to FreyjaSig [2010-07-07 20:19:08 +0000 UTC]

XD omg that just seems so confusing!! how do you know what to paint for each mode?

i tried just with 1 overlay layer , and i found out another way with masks that i'd like to try as well ^^.
