Tutorial - Coloring grayscale images — Description
So this is totally out of the blue!

I mentioned doing this tutorial over 9000 years ago, but never got around to it. So since I made a portrait, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to finally write this down since it's easier to explain this on a simple portrait than it is to explain on a fullblown illustration.
It's really not a tutorial, per say, but rather how I personally go from grayscale to color and what layer modes I use to achieve my usual look for characters.
This is a very experimental way to color- there are no presets, no numbers I can give you, you have to try it out and see what works best for your images!

Hope this helps someone
