@baasamas Is your name an anagram?

someone asked for “no base color” version:

the art in the post you replied to was made in photoshop. now i almost exclusively use procreate for drawing.

hello, i was directed to this post. (i’m the oop. this is an old post and my method has changed a lot, but i’ll try lol) it’s less about the skin color and more about having a “base” color to *unify* the palette. attached a quick sketch+color here. 👆😝

@ErnestoMantaras i imagine there are more variables with 3d, photography, etc so maybe this method wouldn’t apply very wellon those. but i think, like i said in another reply, it’s more like a training wheel to help you learn to see and pick cohesive color palettes.

@baasamas For sure! You're probably gonna be mixing from these base, harmonized colors so it's the better path. I guess I was more thinking in terms of 3D shading and how I process those stages (as well as how art production + photography work on top of the previous one) to unify a scene.

@jeongimiau whatever feels right

@baasamas hii!! like how low? or is it just randomly

i was asked how i choose colors:

@varootski none; just lowered the opacity

@baasamas what blending mode do you use for this?

@RenardReads yes precisely!

@baasamas Ooh like underpainting, but for digital art!

@SkyProwler01 i’ve never personally tried it. but tbh my goal was to learn to color pick via eyeball, and this method is basically like training wheels. so trying to find a workaround would defeat the point. 🚲

@baasamas Would you get the same effect if you drew normally them made a dpublicate of the drawing, turn it into a soldid colored silhouette then make it transparent over the og drawing?

@ErnestoMantaras good q! probably. but i think it’s more intuitive in digital art to make base solid colors that you paint over anyway rather than go straight to local color everything. also in my case, i reserve top layers for blend modes like multiply for shadows, etc.

@baasamas I get that of course you have more control and make other creative decisions as you paint based on your initial colors, but if used as a blanket technique like in your example, wouldn't the result be exactly the same by putting a 20% orange layer on top of everything at the end?
