 You are hosting on YT though, so I'm expected to get clickbaited, as long as the content is good I'm good. So I'm good  The close up on Jon Snow is really nice, very intense perspective. The other ones are great too. Maybe Sansa's face could be a little broader. I know you prefer to make people look better than they really do, but I assume that it would make her more easily recognizable. Be honest, do you sometimes get mad at people when they say that you are talented? Not saying it's coming from a bad intention, but I read "so much talent" or "wish i was so talented" so often when every good artist I know is drawing full time. Always sounds to me like people are pretending that you are born (or not) as a good artist when drawing is 85% practice 15% talent. Might be just my overly sensitive take on people trying to cheer me up. | ||

As for the Jon Snow video, what really got me here was that it stands out very well as a grayscale image, but the color is added so gradually and subtly that it makes it pop. How are your layers/masks structured when you're coloring? I typically have a mask for each shape and a layer for each color, but you do a lot more blending and work much faster. | ||

In the Arnold video, you were putting down heavy tones very early and I wondered how you were going to salvage it, but there are little flecks of light that create this incredible defining contrast that you refined further and further in the cleanup phase. Really cool to see, and it looks like that video is timescaled a static amount as opposed to some of your other videos, so it sheds some light on what proportion of your time is spent fine-tuning everything (looks like about 50-60% of the entire drawing time?).

How are your layers/masks structured when you're coloring? I typically have a mask for each shape and a layer for each color, but you do a lot more blending and work much faster. ye, fine-tuning usually takes up most of the time but it can seem like it creates not much change on screen until some time has passed and all the tweaks are added up, so I do usually time-lapse this part faster. Hence all the comments like "one moment this looks rough and few sec later it's realistic, and I can't see how"... well it's like an hour's tweak compressed into seconds so it's hard for people to pin point where the transition is from rough to refined. ye for realism generally you got to be careful with color saturation. I'd rather under saturate it than over. Regarding layers and organization, for me at least: the drawing (minus color) is often fairly organized (bg, dark facial features, skin tone, hair, highlight all exist in their own separate layer). When applying color, depends on the drawing I would apply to everything on screen at once instead of layer by layer or element by element. (tho some drawings I do apply layer by layer, rare). It just allows me to see the drawing as a whole and apply color holistically. I don't have separate layers for each color generally, I just add color over the entire image as if I'm oil painting and it's usually one layer. It is faster, I can work more intuitively and I think my physical media background helps with that too. | ||

You remedy that later though. | ||
