Lately I've been struggling with color changes and complex white markings. I use ibis paint x and an IPad + Apple Pencil. Any tutorial recommendations?

I use IbispaintX! if you'd like, I have some spare time Wednesday evening, I can throw a quick tutorial together? if you need to know ASAP I can try explain it!
Changes- I ALWAYS leave the body prep till after I've done my colour changes. You don't see streaks. I make the subject a grey scale which is on your filters.. Don't change the darkness etc just leave it in the middle on both tabs (you'll see what I mean). Making that layer an alpha layer, I add a new one making it a clipping layer and changing the layer type to Colour (right at the bottom) I then take a colour off the horse your making the art for (the lightest of the coat) and with an airbrush I colour over the horse on the clipping layer. Play with the opacity of the layer to make it how you like it. This DOES NOT work with all colour changes. If you need help regarding more difficult colours, drop me a PM!
Patterns - Again, before I go into doing body prep, I always do the white markings first. Using the lasso tool I roughly mark the markings out. Although I lasso MORE so I can erase some later on. Make sure the lasso is on the horse layer and Duplicate that layer, making it a clipping layer go into: Hue, saturation and lightness. You want to move the saturation all the way down (to the right) and the lightness to the left (not too bright as the image may lose detailing like muscling etc). Once I've confirmed that, I'll then go to Tone Curve and adjust the lighting/contrast there. That's how I get the really white parts on my art. On the pattern layer I then go in with a rough brush (mines chalk I believe?) and go around the markings, making them look like said horse your making the art for. This won't work for everyone. This works for me.
and that's how I do both, others may do things differently, if you'd still like me to throw together a tutorial, let me know! Edited at June 26, 2023 04:44 PM by Zomb
