View video HERE on Vimeo.

The 26-minute instructional video by illustrator Clint Cearley examines the technique of progressing a greyscale image into a color one with tips to remember and problems to avoid. It's not flashy but it answers some good art questions.

If you find this video useful leave a comment and let me know. If I receive enough interest I would consider making it an ongoing thing. Also, let me know what other topics or questions you would like see covered.

Fine Print: Program used is Photoshop CS5. Image used in video is Lady Paradoxia, created by the author for the game Legend of the Cryptids. Image © Applibot, used with permission.

great tutorial! I've really stumbled with this technique because I was confused on how to make the colors vibrant enough, or to know really what range of gray values to stay in.

i use to think having lineart was a crutch that must be done away with.. because of these speed painters.. and i simply can't do it.. im glad to hear its a viable technique still... and its how i work and should embrace it!

thank you very much for this video, your tips are really helpful and your explanation clear. I found especially useful the use of different blending layers method and the use of the layer mask. Also very interesting the increasing level of details you go through by adding layers one above the other, rather than working on a single one.

Because you asked it... I would really appreciate something about color and composition and know your opinion on which among different color painting ways suit better a specific illustration's goal.
