Here's my result!

#

tips :

  • observe simple shapes of the reference first. think about what is the 3d shapes u will be drawing
  • take your time to figure out how the lights and shadows wrap around the object, feel free to draw into the reference too!!
  • don't go into details too fast, spot all the big shapes of lights and shadows first and try to think about the logic behind them

Thank you for this study

#

Really cool

#

Done with the sketch

#

And now I do not know how I can paint

ripe plinth
tender dove
#

Or paint the entire helmet with the mid or dark tone and draw the light on

#

Or paint in greyscale and then add colour with a blend mode

elder relic
#

The blending part i do not know...

tender dove
#

Show

elder relic
#

Aight gimmie a sec

#

This will take a while

#

@tender dove Did the front part, should I also fill the back?

tender dove
#

Imo, fill the entire sillouette with the mid or dark tone first

elder relic
#

Gotchu

tender dove
#

So you can get an idea of how the light contrasts the overall image

#

After that, simplify the picture into 3 tones, light, mid, and dark

#

Then block those, totaling 3 colours

#

Try and ignore colours right now

elder relic
#

Ah and also how do you go into greyscale mode?

tender dove
#

You can add a layer filled with white and choose a hue blendmode?

#

Or a greyscale filter layer

elder relic
#

@tender dove Fill in like this first?

left mist
#

yep

tender dove
#

Ye that's what I recommend

elder relic
#

Alrighty, now the next step is to simplify the lighting?

tender dove
#

Actually you can even fill in with a muted yellow-grey colour and light with light blue

#

But if you want to work in greyscale then go for it

#

And fill in colour with the colour blend mode

elder relic
tender dove
#

You've never used multiply?

elder relic
#

This you mean?

tender dove
#

That's for the pen which works

#

But I'd recommend layer blend modes instead

elder relic
tender dove
#

No create a new layer and it should be next to opacity

elder relic
#

Next to opacity? meaning lower it

tender dove
#

I mean it should be next to the opacity slider

elder relic
#

Oh

#

Hey I know where the new layer button is at aight, tho its not next to the opacity slider

tender dove
#

Srry gtg!

elder relic

#

Go look it up on google

#

Why are yall so good wtfA_A_sobbing A_A_sobbing

tender dove
elder relic
#

Oh...

#

Ya I know where that is... ig i dont really know what to hse and how to use it

tender dove
#

You should try it

elder relic
#

Only multiply, burn, darken and lighten

#

That i know

tender dove
#

Yeah I guess those are the important ones

elder relic
#

Ill see what I can do now

#

Thanks tho

tender dove
#

Colour blend mode allows you to paint colour onto greyscale drawings

#

While retaining the light and darkness

#

That or hue blendmode

#

One of those two

One thing i certainly don't understand is how theres another reflection below the helmet, why is it like the left instead of the right image?

#

It mirroring idkA_A_eh

tender dove
#

It's reflecting a river

#

That is mirroring the trees
