>>3724654 >>3724659Here's a suggestion OP, After you apply some of the initial color, try playing with color adjustment filters that comes with whatever program you're using. A lot of artists who color from greyscale use filters to brighten up the colors because often they can look pretty dull at first.
Here's two greyscale to color videos I really like
https://youtu.be/2GwQOJ55WQQEven in speedpaints where she works primarily with color at first, she often times seems to paint a little greyscale "underpainting" first to establish the initial values.
https://youtu.be/ztKEVEuhyoohttps://youtu.be/8Mcqkk21pcEIt seems like a lot of his paintings, like in his latest video, he paints from greyscale first. But he's able to color them in such a nice way it's hard to tell it was originally painted from greyscale.
I think even if you're focusing on greyscale right it's still good to study color theory at the same time. I'm trying to focus on getting better with values right now because I notice almost every artist that's amazing with color also has no problem making nice looking greyscale paintings. If my greyscale paintings are shit than my color paintings will be shit too.
