black general - walkthroughby `len-yan

Download JPG 679 × 10800
after a lot of inquiries about my colouring technique i have finally put together this walkthrough. sadly the file i prepared was too big for dA to support, but i hope this is still readable. i also hope this will answer at least part of your questions regarding my colouring process.

some of the changes between the steps shown here are not easy to spot, which is why i included miniatures of how each new layer look like in normal mode (at least where i thought it necessary).

good look trying out this (very fun and effective) technique^^

Thank you so freaking incredibly much! I've been wanting to give greyscale to color a try for a while now, but couldn't seem to find a straight forward, easy, yet detailed explanation before. Thank you so!

What has this to do with a Dragon Age related group? Please don't random post in groups.
