You can experiment a bit to see what works best for you, since some of your choices may differ depending on the style you draw on. It’s probably one of the most useful tools you can have to draw any type of things. As such, there are all kinds of contrast:īut the one we will be focusing on is called: To put it simply, contrast is how different one thing is from another. To emphasize the focal point, you can do a lot of things, like using different colors or shapes, but we will be focusing on a specific tool called “CONTRAST” Usually when drawing characters, the focal point is the face, because humans are naturally attracted to faces and eyes, but when it’s a drawing of a landscape or a building, things change, and you might want your audience to focus on a specific part of the drawing, and for that, you have several tools. The focal point of a painting or drawing, is the most important part, the part that you want your audience to look at first. The first concept we need to understand, is FOCAL POINT.
Composition is a huge subject, so we will not cover it completely here, just some basic concepts that will help us in regards to grayscale and monochrome art, such as manga or comics.
To solve that problem, we will need to talk a bit about values in composition. However, you might consider all of these things, and draw everything properly, but you still feel like your drawing lacks something, that it’s just not right. When you consider all of these elements, you can draw properly in grayscale. I will draw a cube, the floor and a wall. Well, to decide that, there are several elements you must consider, so let’s check them first Let’s say you want to draw a sphere, or a cube, but you don’t know what value you should paint them. As such, with this, things will react to light in a natural way, the same way they would react in real life. I will try to cover them the best I can, but to understand those kind of value ranges, we must start with a normal one, so I’ll first explain how light and values work in a more natural value range, and from there we will see the others.Ī normal value range is what you would see if you put a black and white filter over photos, or imagine it as if you suddenly couldn’t see any color, just black and white. There are also value ranges that are limited to a very specific number of values, and some that use only black and white. If you have trouble maintaining your values in a certain range, you can always fix that by playing around with the correction layer “Level correction”
