Hey guys, how's it going? This is Kendra, welcome back to a channel. In this video I'm going to show you how you can color using grading maps in Clipstead or Paint. And at the same time I'm going to show you a few examples using these drawings for the King of Fighters. And so let's get into it. So first I'm just going to turn everything to black and white. So you can see the values and things like that. So if you want to use the grading map you go to Layer and then New Correction Layer and grading map. And you can see you can change it. And at first it looks kind of like basic, like oh it's just a gradient. But it's a little more complex and you can do a lot more stuff with the grading maps. So let's say I choose this one, it doesn't matter, you can make your own. So let's say once you have it there you can double click this side of the layer and you get the options so you can change it and things like that. So I'm going to remove everything, see this little lines, you just drag them away. So the way it works is here, it's like a normal gradient. If the lighter parts are this color and the darker it gets going this way, it's going to go into black. And so this is supposed to be the lightest part, which is this color. So right here and then this part in the middle you see it's kind of gray color. You know it's like this colors. So let's say in the middle I have something else and you got to call here you click it to change it and this is where it's red. So now you have kind of like a red middle in the middle ground like the grayish colors are not all red and the bright colors are yellow. You can see if I move this up like you can see how that let's say this is the light, the lighter colors. The light is pretty much yellow and then the mid colors are red and the dark colors are dark going to black. By giving it change that you can still black it can make it dark green. You see it changes it. So now they have it like this right how you chose the colors that you want but let's say maybe don't want those colors for everything maybe you just wanted for the skin. You can go ahead and delete and use the eraser and delete everything else. And then you see here it's kind of creating a mask. So you can do it like that. You know you just remove everything until only the skin is done or you can just hit the lead and delete everything. And then when you draw you're going to bring the color back. So you can have the color that you want. You know let's say I want the skin to be this color. So you can just focus on building the values. You can paint the whole character black and white and then you go ahead and change the gray colors. The values change it so the color that you want. So for example here I selected the area so only the face, the skin. It's selected so those are the colors and you can go ahead and change it. Let's say I want this to be a little bit more red. See so you can change the colors of the characters. This way is way easier if you just focus on the values and make it gray, you know gray scale. You see all this is the lights coming this way. You don't worry about the color and then you go ahead and select the area that you want and say okay this is maybe the skin color. So you select the skin color and you don't have to think too much. You say okay the light is going to be blue. You say his color is blue light around. So you do that. So you see there it's super easy to change. As long as you have the values it should work pretty well. You change all the characters if you want. You don't have this character in the light. It's going to be blue or you can change it to whatever color. So that's like a better way. You can just focus on the values and using the grading maps and paying the character. I think it saves you a lot of time and you can customize it. You can edit it pretty quickly and you can get the same result as painting it. Because you still choose the colors that you want. As long as you don't just choose two colors, let's say like that. That's like two basic of a gradient. You need to put a little bit in between. You choose the colors like dark. It's going to be this color. This is like in between. So you choose the colors that you want. And then when you put combined it with the values, you're going to see that it's going to give you a really good result. So that's pretty much it. And that's going to be it for the video. Thanks for watching guys. See you next time. Bye.
