Struggling with muddy colors and flat characters?

Struggling with muddy colors and flat characters? This might be why.⠀Before diving into color, try painting in greyscale first, it’s one of the most powerful tools to level up your art.⠀When you remove color from the equation, you’re forced to see values for what they are, not what your brain assumes they should be. This makes your lighting, shading, and depth instantly more readable and cinematic.⠀Even pro artists use this method to plan strong compositions and character lighting. Don’t sleep on it.⠀Pro Tip: Once you master values in greyscale, transitioning to color becomes WAY easier (and more intentional).⠀Have you tried painting in greyscale before? Drop a 🧠 if you learned something new, or save this post so you don’t forget later.⠀#greyscalepainting #digitalpaintingtips #arttutorial #arttips #characterdesignprocess #valuepainting #conceptartworkflow #digitalartprocess #paintingvalues #greyscalestudy #digitalart #artjourney #conceptart #sololeveling

I honestly wish some clients wouldn’t take me doing things on my own time as me slacking off on their work, this is part of it! I need the boost of energy and creativity from just being a person. The reason you liked my work is partly because you liked my life experience that I show on it! Just a reminder ❤️#digitalart #empireofthesun #lisbon #concept #artistlife #concertlife #campopequeno #livelife #artdigital #explore #viral

Exploration in digital painting is uncomfortable,a

Exploration in digital painting is uncomfortable,and that’s exactly why it matters.  Stepping outside your usual techniques, brushes, and color palettes can feel unfamiliar, even frustrating. But real artistic growth doesn’t happen in your comfort zone. It happens when you take creative risks, embrace the mess, and keep going.This is where your personal style begins to evolve.  This is where your best work will eventually come from.Let the mistakes happen. That’s how you level up as an artist.  #digitalpainting #ArtJourney #artistgrowth #learnartfundamentals #digitalarttips #arttransformation #fromphotostopainting #photoshopartist #paintfromscratch #creativefreedom

I stopped doing photo manipulation for 2 whole yea

I stopped doing photo manipulation for 2 whole years just to master digital painting and it changed everything. No more relying on photos for lighting, form, or depth.   Learning the fundamentals gave me the freedom to create anything from scratch. If you’re stuck in overediting or stuck with reference overload, start learning the core skills. You’ll thank yourself later. #digitalpainting #artjourney #artistgrowth #learnartfundamentals #digitalarttips #arttransformation #fromphotostopainting #photoshopartist #paintfromscratch #creativefreedom
