" Hi welcome to another episode it's approximately herb -- For you all kinds of Photoshop tricks and whatever else I feel like doing. Today I'm gonna do another one any favorites that you will benefit for a lot in the emails and that is how to color rise one. Not only drawings but I'm gonna take -- black and white photo and polarized. Adding color where the code does not exist tomorrow partly the drawings you wanna draw comic books and then color rise in Photoshop. That's what this episode all about. Now right now on the screen. -- Wacom and figure I have made black and white image of a nice little community of -- with the leaves him back it is grey scale image I'm gonna color rise this. Make him go look like it's gonna come to life. First -- have do is to go in -- change the mode because Butte grey scale image it is great scale. The matter how many colors I create I won't be able Edmonton and it won't accept any color entries in remote. -- down here to be caller. Now I didn't add the color they've become suddenly a color picture because there is no confirmation there was only grey scale. But it is an RGB file which we can now add color to dissent. So what -- would do is gonna go to my foreground -- here and epic and mine's red. Red color which -- community of flour. Now I think my paintbrush. And as to the normal mode that we have here distance when it's normally set up a -- start gaining and you can see what's happening. It's just paying no -- read them do that at that we want. I change the motive the brush -- with a pink color into this great information. But leave the monotony values intact but with all the light and dark we -- but you will be added that degrades become different shades of red. Vote here and change the mode of the brush. -- And there now watch when I start to -- my rose today. No flower opening safari got all of those nice red starting to happen there. All these nice right Richard at least modes also accept exist for other things like the -- back to select the big area like this right here that. And had little -- do it and I used the up fill dialogue box and it. Appear to edit that they fill. And right now iTunes you select -- my little area -- to reflect that let's go here's the big area right there are now come up here and say. Bill. That and I used the foreground color. The modes to their -- here and choose color but the motive -- when -- click okay you see that that area got filled. Go back and continue going there it might pay pressured continue to paint. Or that nice little red flower I cannot believe I do believe up -- the nice means for my -- foreground color. Well here pick a nice -- like this one here and I'll start the paint them these -- back and again you can get them to monotony values remaining and I am gaining -- next mean tone. All the -- there. Now in the kind of flat on day. So just adding the color is not going to be enough in this particular case I -- what going to enhance them bit by Pittman dodge burn tools. And a little slightly larger brush here from my burn tool just gonna kind of dark and in fact the middle part in this thing. Informative out of part of that leaf right there and maybe a couple who tones here in there that the -- Thursday -- a little drama. After my dodge tool right here. And the same thing but I got a nice small brush I just don't don't a couple of highlights on the these read along there's the rest add a little more drama -- more debt and make that -- just that much more in interest in look at but would you really want to see. Is polarizing comic books that. There and this guy. I got this guy. This is why they actually used this music when I did this many years ago on the squeeze every show this wanted to join by sunshine and when I'm going to do is add color to. Now it's ready and RGB file and tobacco -- But what I wanna do is I -- color underneath that nice pen stroke that than there are want to retain all that beautiful pen stroke. I don't do that -- that there. And duplicate. The background layer that has the actual drawing a duplicate. It -- there behind that one. -- that they -- color. And in that there is where I'm -- at -- Now optical mice -- steel gray color for the costume that this little guys is wearing. And I started -- right here now we're not seeing anything why because the layer behind the background right and the background right now. Is there is drawing layer on top is drawing and has waited and we don't see it so what we're doing and change -- mode. That top layer and that all I want is to -- And change the mode of multiply. I now that it's -- multiply mode go to color layer and I get my paintbrush. Insurance that the normal and I start to paint you know without adding that -- Stain inside the lines you're drawing no coloring book when you're a kid him that. -- go -- here expected to withdraw this kind of a thing or these things that cause inside a bad shape. Staying inside the lines doing very good job of it but it didn't -- back. -- sort of close -- and see what's happening. Now. It's again very flat there is some -- set up in the line drawing that was originally done top but what I want to do here is the really give it some depth. Just like a that would then be a second ago the accent is muscle here when I'm gonna do is stick my dodge burn tools in my dodge tool. And make a little smaller -- and lighten up right there given back to highlight and a smaller brush much smaller brush which are just gonna -- a couple little shape right into these areas."
" Where the muscles are appearing right and they like that -- really good and then again with my little burn tool. And make a smaller brush I'll add a little additional depth. To decide threatened him a little darker red in there in under here under his -- adding a little darker tones that starts to add depth. Who might who shape here now we've got -- blood over here with led. Well the put that in the fabric later given another layer that would be my blood later. Again nice red. It's good color for blood poses warmer red. Beautiful great colorful -- and zoom in real close here and -- a nice small tiny brush. Going to go right into of the -- areas there. And -- paint my blood. There. Now I've put into a separate layer one reason I put it into a separate layer it because being in -- and -- that. I want that -- to really liquid I felt. By the layers doubt that that little -- and bought the -- so many V shows. It used it -- early show to create water right well it's basically thing in here that the blood. So go in there and make the size of little smaller and it's been about about who. It increased the depth I get really nice strong light and dark pickup cannot continue to draw my blood now at the it's gonna have that nice and of the equity effect. This is great yeah have fun paying those -- blood and all these spots and Treo with little drop of blood and --"
" You're being -- continue to draw a shape and the we have all the blood in place and by file on the same procedure different players different colors. We get the finish piece which looks like that. There's -- finish piece of all the blood place all the highlights of the shadows all the colors that we want even with texture if we look back here at the wall itself I added texture to the wall. I didn't have to be drawn and I just went into my text to write -- filters ask the remote and David -- texture and created textures have made that war stand out -- instead of it to the let drawing it's nice wall with a text it so. I hope you learned something from this and remember it's not the end result. If -- steps to better result -- the techniques because they can be applied to so many different things. I hope it on something. I want to thank my friends over at godaddy.com. And that's wagon of the deal here if you go over there and the guys who -- carry your website.
