Btw, in case you are interested.
This is all done in a free program called "Krita", its kind of a free photoshop alternative.
I also used the krita plugin called "G'mic", as well as a brush pack called "V8" by David Revoy
>>65997443
Whoa. Cool
>>65997315
You've forgotten to change the overlay type for all of them

I wish that enough people will report your posts so that you'll get banned, because you are being mean for no reason and harm the thread.
"Quality of posts" is considered a rule violation.
Also, alot of people appreciated the effort i putted into coloring this things, and i think many of them turned out REALLY good, especially the more recent ones

It's just an internet forum, dude. Take a load off.
>"Quality of posts" is considered a rule violation.
These colourations are fucking terrible quality and should get you banned.
Protip: most things aren't just a single flat colour with different values.
>>65998956
THERE YOU GO! (2nd repost after fixes, and the last one!)
>>66001720
If you think you can do better colorations feel free to contribute ~
>>66001884
My laptop broke the other day so I have no access to photo editing software, but of course I can do better. You're literally just slabbing a single shade onto a grayscale image in a colour layer. You have zero understanding of how colour works at all, which is shown the most by the fact that you have no idea how hue and value interact when converted to grayscale (and back).
>>65997315
this is terrible
>>66001924
ive not posted anything on this thread either, but what a shitty excuse lol
>>66001924
So you think you can do THIS MANY photos, at the same speed i did them, better? k.

>>65998302
ok but this one is good
>>66001950
>So you think you can do THIS MANY photos, at the same speed i did them, better? k.
You yourself said it - quality of posts is important. But yeah, I could do it faster than you, easily. Because I know what I'm doing and have a basic understanding of colour theory.
Pro tip: telling you you're shit at something you are shit at is not being mean. However, not listening to protips from someone who is actually not shit is just being retarded as fuck.
How do you do it? Just adding a colour layer? Im curious as i do this for a living and want to see what methods other people use
do you people shit on a downs syndrome kid when you see him coloring? no
so why are you shitting on this kid itt?
>>66001998
Yeah, colour layer is the correct way to do it, when you understand how colour works and what things actually look like.
>>66001992
not OP, but you do realize that nobody has any reason to believe you're actually "not shit" as long as you don't post ANYTHING to support that claim? Y'know, that's kinda how 4chan works
Also hampus and GoT are shit
>>66002028
Anyone who would know even the most basic concept of this would see and understand that the critique I propose is legitimate. For anyone else, why the fuck should I even care? You all drool over pretty colours and glitter regardless of quality.
>>66002018
There is no "colour layer" on Photoshop, all blending modes produce different results with the same colors you apply.
You don't know shit either.
>>66002055
>why the fuck should I even care
You clearly don't care, at all, that's why you keep posting
>>66002018
I know, I mean; I do this for a living lmao
And yes, most of them are terrible desu, a few decent ones but they remind me of the hand colouring Melies used in his old movies which is not a bad aesthetic...
But if he's aiming at a professional realistic colourijg then its awful. I just took this as an artistic kind of thing that's why I asked the kid
>>66000381
Do this one pls
>>66001998
No layering was used. pic related is a program called Krita, i used the two brushes i marked with red for coloring, they are basically coloring brushes that instantly color greyscale images in whatever color i choose. those two brushes come in a brush pack called "V8" by David Revoy.
In addition to that, i also used some film emulation filters from a Krita plugin called G'mic.
>>66002082
>>66001960
Plz.
Some of them are better than others, i made a very big amount really fast and on top of that im just a beginner.
Watch this ones:
>>66001950
i dont see any reason why you would think any of them is "bad"
>>66002095
get yourself Gimp at least
>>66002073
>There is no "colour layer" on Photoshop
Literally retarded. Picture courtesy of Google.
>>66002079
If I "cared" I'd bother trying to "prove" to you nerds that I can produce better results, faster. I'm not gonna go through the effort of downloading and installing Photoshop on my girlfriend's laptop.
>>66002082
Fair enough, but if he was doing this to aim at a certain aesthetic he wouldn't defend the critique in the way he does. Also "lol it's muh style" is literally the world's worst excuse for being shit.
>>66002120
Gimp is not nearly as powerful as Krita and has worse interface.
Krita is legitimately has most of what Photoshop has (inlucding customizable brushes) but you get it for free.
>>66000421
I second this
>>65997702
awesome
Y'all are shitting on the kid, and the kid is only enjoying himself with his peeps.
>>66002124
No one calls these layers "colour layers" you absolute idiot. Educate yourself for fucks sake.
>>66002124
Hampus, you literally cherry-picked the ones that i made that are not as good as the others and claimed i'm "bad" while ignoring the ones i made that are extremely well made such as >>65998849
>>66002186
In fact if you will look at this thread most of them are actually very well made. the one in the OP isn't as well made, sure, but most of them are.
>>66002170
Actually they do, because no one bothers to say layer with colour blending mode.
>>66002143
>Krita is legitimately has most of what Photoshop has
No, and it's not aiming to either.
>>66002186
You know I didn't quote a single one of your "works", so saying I cherry picked anything is just about the dumbest thing you could do.
And yeah, the one you now quoted as "good" still suffers the exact same issues that comes from you not understanding colour: you're doing flat colours and don't understand how saturation and hue are differs in different conditions, even on something that is a flat colour (which they generally are not).
Even the original painting of Mao in the background there, which is in rather flat colours, has the proper saturation and hue changes over shaded areas that come as a product of subsurface scattering and shit.
Literally nothing in this thread is well made. It's all rushed worked by an amateur who should be filling in colouring books with crayons (incidentally, what Krita means) instead.
>>66000377
seconding this request
>>66002255
I did not aim to replicate the original picture of Mao, i aimed to color it in whatever way i want using my creative freedom, but in a way that looks like it could have been the real picture that was transferred the grey-scale. and i absolutely succeeded.
Now, about Krita -
It legitimately can do most of what photoshop does. there are professionals who use krita. it's true that the developers of it aimed it to be an "painting and illustration" program but the fact is it's capable of more.
Krita is legitimately a free alternative to photoshop, even if the devs of krita don't define it in that way.
>>66002255
>>Literally nothing in this thread is well made. It's all rushed worked by an amateur who should be filling in colouring books with crayons (incidentally, what Krita means) instead.
my fucking sides, this autist expects the sistine chapel in shit op spent about 5 minutes doing
are you gonna go to /mu/ makes an album threads and criticize them too?
>>66001871
I forgot about requesting this, thanks op
>>66002317
>It legitimately can do most of what photoshop does
>Krita is legitimately a free alternative to photoshop
No, absolutely not. Just a quick glance at the feature list tells me that it can't even remotely compete with Photoshop for anything but painting and illustration, but even then just barely.
>>65997702
fucking A
>>66002348
If /mu/ makes an album wasn't self-aware and thought they were, in fact, making high quality material like OP believes, then yes probably.
>>66000543
THIS please
>>66002354
The feature list displayed in the krita website is pretty outdated.
Read this, this page compared between Krita 2.9 to photoshop. please note that right now the version of krita is 3.0 though and it has alot of new features and improved performance, so that comparison is a bit outdated too... but it should be enough to show you how close krita is to photoshop
https://docs.krita.org/Introduction_to_Krita_coming_from_Photoshop
>>66002387
That is literally the list I am reading from, which confirms that it doesn't hold a candle against Photoshop.
>>66002412
But it can literally do most of what photoshop does. there are even some professionals using krita fyi.
AND BTW, let me tell you something about art. art is subjective. if i think i did an a really good job, then i did a really good job. there is nothing that makes my artistic interpretation of those grey-scale paintings "objectively bad".
And besides if you were following this thread alot of other people liked what i made, but that's another thing.
>>66001960
i love that gif.
>>66002255
man you are absolutely insufferable, OP just found something he likes and that he's new at and he's trying to have fun colorizing albums, that's all. There is no need for you to come here and shit all over him, close the thread if you don't like his colorizations. No one here gives even the slightest shit about how good you claim to be, ok?. I thought the trip was enough to show how big of an ego you have, but you're proving me wrong boy
No offence dude but these are all pretty awful. Anyone can learn to do this in less than five minutes with a pirated copy of photoshop. The brushes are imprecise, the tones are all completely wrong and there's no kind of texture.
I'm not trying to shit on your work but at least practice before believing what you've made is worth something.
>>66002453
you got it perfectly. if you like it, it's fine. no reason to shit on other people's work especially when you cant even back up what you're saying
>Trip #1 does something that is kinda cool
>Trip #2 wishes death upon Trip #1's bloodline
>>66002489
I completely disagree with you. I agree the first one in the op is not well made and has greens that are way too saturated.
but i think most of what i did in this thread is really well made.
Each to his own opinion.
>>66002453
>But it can literally do most of what photoshop does. there are even some professionals using krita fyi.
Two words: non-destructive editing. Literally no professional who does anything related to graphics for a living will be using a shit tier free program that is aimed at neckbeards drawing naked ladies. They can afford Photoshop, they will have been taught using Photoshop, and they will continue using Photoshop not only because it's industry standard, but because it's by far the best.
>AND BTW, let me tell you something about art. art is subjective. if i think i did an a really good job, then i did a really good job. there is nothing that makes my artistic interpretation of those grey-scale paintings "objectively bad".
I too can see that you read the other guy's comment about "art". See how long you can keep this trolling up. If for nothing else, you're providing me entertainment.

There you go^ that's already two professional illustrators that make a living from their art that i know use Krita.
And Krita is in fact really close to photoshop, claiming photoshop is "By far the best" when there are just a small bunch of things it offers over krita would be exaggerating.
these are fucking awful

By pretending he actually thinks what he has done here is high quality work, and stringing along with the comments I make.
>>66002588
One person publishing a webcomic and asking for donations on Patron, and one Frenchie who clearly does work with non-Krita software as his professional portfolio seems to consist mainly of logo designs.
And no, Krita isn't close to Photoshop. It lacks things like proper masks, adjustment layers, and most importantly non-destructive editing capabilities.

>Each to his own opinion.
It isn't an opinion thing, this IS something everyone can do exceedingly easily. Colourising is an art, I used to work with someone who did it professionally. What you've done is the result of five minutes' worth of dicking around in Photoshop.
Again, I'm not trying to be an asshole, but these show you haven't done any kind of real practice or made any attempt to understand how colours, shades and textures work. It's the equivalent of someone picking up a guitar for the first time, strumming randomly and calling it 'great in my opinion'.
>>66002647

I work as a digital colorist, and it's pretty obvious it's all just people having fun. Why would I get all self-righteous about op desecrating the fine art of digital coloring? Who cares? It's all funposting to pass the time. Some of you are just so fucking bitter.

I'm biased against software that is industry standard because it has important features that other programs lack, which is exactly why it is industry standard.

This type of post is hilarious and an effective way to spot the newfriends.

The reason I'm fucking bitter is because of comments like
>art is subjective. if i think i did an a really good job, then i did a really good job.
are the cancer which is destroying modern artistic culture.
He's fostering the belief that 'art is subjective' and 'trying is all that counts'. The idea that 'anybody can create art' regardless of talent, dedication and every other objective marker of quality which has set good art apart from the bad since the dawn of time has wormed its way into society and spawned a generation of people who feel entitled to be told that they're great at something they absolutely are not, without putting any effort in whatsoever.
Every little talentless artschool kiddo grows up thinking they're the next Shakespeare which is precisely the reason we will never again see an artist rise to Shakespeare's level.

This triggers me, there is literally nothing wrong with being gay and berating someone for that is terrible. Rest of image is top tier lel though.

Justsaying, I don't believe you.
Hey, can you colorize this pls?
>>66002909
But Krita has MORE than all of the essential features you need to make art professionally. As i said earlier, in terms of features, it has most of what Photoshop has, as well as a few things photoshop doesn't have.
There, maybe this will help you understand krita is a viable alternative to photoshop for professional illustrators:

I've already told you the features lacking from Krita that are detrimental to professional use. Sure, some hack probably uses it for painting or illustration, but no one who does it at a professional level will be using Krita. And especially not for anything else that Photoshop is used for, such as Photo editing.
>>66002944
are you really stalking this person because you dont like their art
>>66002937
Shit like this is so harmless. It's people like Sakimichan and all deviantart dreck who are the true cancer for digital art, who show art school kids that they can draw anime porn and get some big bucks.
Art schools themselves are a fucking mess right now, same as countless museum exhibitions. That's all way bigger in scope so I don't know why you're lashing out at fucking OP of all people.
>>66002967
I already showed you two professionals that use krita and i showed you that a feature you claimed is "lacking" - which is mask layers - actually exists in krita.
yet you keep making excuses.

Not even the guy you're quoting, but how new are you?
I doubt you have more than 6 months of /mu/
