dark omen - progressby `len-yan

Scraps

progress shots and some details for my latest work:

many of you asked for a tutorial. sadly, i don't have enough time to make a proper one, but i hope these progress shots will still be useful for some of you. i don't use this particular technique for all my works but i do enjoy it. i've been working with it for a bit longer than half a year now. i hope i'll be able to improve it more in the near future.

EDIT:

as an answer to a popular question, before it gets even more popular lol

how to switch from black&white to colours

i'm sure there are as many ways to do this as there are artists who use this technique, but the general rule is quite simple: just go crazy with layer styles. i use overlay, soft light, multiply and sometimes colour (for certain effects i use some of the others as well), mixing them with some regular normal layers. there is really no set order in which i do those things (although i tend to start with overlay), which is why it's so difficult for me to explain my ways via a tutorial.. it's a bit of a freestyle for me. if the number of layers gets too high i simply merge them all and keep working on top of that.

i hope this answer is enough. if there is anything else you'd like to know, simply ask me in a comment^^

if you find thid helpful i'll try to upload some more progress shots for other works in the future~
