This is the most complete beginner's guide/tutorial to digital coloring that I could fit into a YouTube video length. I hope you find it useful! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see in my videos or learn something!

‼This video is long with not much financial return, if you want to support me, you can now use THANK YOU! Click the heart dollar button below my video️

In this video I talk about my coloring process, the brushes I use, light and shadow, how I choose the colors for my illustrations, how I make a thumbnail sketch, how I add texture to my illustration and I give you digital coloring tips.
I will also give you color theory for artist basics including: color wheel, reflected light, subsurface scattering, ambient occlusion, and edge light.
These all work for Procreate beginners, but they are also useful basics that can help all digital painting beginners. even those using other drawing software.
