00:00:23.970 --> 00:00:26.980
Hello, this is webtoon artist Joomyung

4
00:00:26.980 --> 00:00:30.380
Following the daylight and afternoon 
color correction tutorials using Clip Studio

5
00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:32.700
we'll explore evening color correction today

6
00:00:32.860 --> 00:00:35.901
If you've already practiced daylight and afternoon corrections

7
00:00:35.901 --> 00:00:40.081
creating evening tones should be as manageable

8
00:00:40.081 --> 00:00:42.760
Let's dive into evening color correction

9
00:00:42.961 --> 00:00:46.881
Evening Shading

10
00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:50.240
Let's take a look at evening color correction

11
00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:54.580
If you're comfortable with daylight and afternoon corrections

12
00:00:54.893 --> 00:00:58.473
evening correction should be as easy

13
00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:03.859
First, I've prepared a base-colored illustration

14
00:01:04.399 --> 00:01:08.860
but it doesn't have any shading this time

15
00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:13.181
That's because we'll be trying a slightly different

16
00:01:13.181 --> 00:01:16.012
coloring method compared to before

17
00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:19.439
By finding shading

18
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:23.611
Instead of drawing shading

19
00:01:23.611 --> 00:01:26.620
we'll use a method where you apply 
shading across the entire illustration first

20
00:01:26.621 --> 00:01:28.957
and then find out the light

21
00:01:28.957 --> 00:01:32.880
This technique is sometimes referred to as "sculpting the light"

22
00:01:32.980 --> 00:01:36.480
Let's give it a try

23
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:43.539
First, let's move the reference layer setting, 
which is currently active on the pen touch layer

24
00:01:43.540 --> 00:01:46.460
to the base color layer

25
00:01:46.820 --> 00:01:49.480
Select the thumbnail of the base color layer

26
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.144
then either click "Set as Reference Layer"

27
00:01:52.279 --> 00:01:54.999
or use the icon at the top

28
00:01:55.088 --> 00:01:57.288
to switch it to a reference layer

29
00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:02.592
Next, move to the shading layer

30
00:02:02.972 --> 00:02:08.312
For the shading, we'll clip it to the base color layer below

31
00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:11.820
To clip the layer, right-click on the thumbnail

32
00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:16.280
and select "Clip to Layer Below," the third option

33
00:02:16.549 --> 00:02:20.109
or simply click the icon at the top

34
00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:26.880
When a pink bar appears on the left side of the thumbnail

35
00:02:27.096 --> 00:02:28.936
it means the clipping is active

36
00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:34.119
For now

37
00:02:34.471 --> 00:02:38.531
we won't lock the transparent pixels just yet

38
00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:42.679
We'll lock them

39
00:02:43.802 --> 00:02:46.362
after completing the shading

40
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:49.239
I'll briefly explain

41
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.642
the reason for this later

42
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.220
Now, click Ctrl + Left Mouse

43
00:02:58.221 --> 00:03:02.488
and click on the gray thumbnail of the base color layer

44
00:03:02.588 --> 00:03:04.225
then entire area is selected

45
00:03:05.100 --> 00:03:10.660
This will select all the colors applied to the character

46
00:03:12.820 --> 00:03:16.199
With this selection active

47
00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:20.402
switch to the shading layer

48
00:03:21.619 --> 00:03:24.080
and choose a suitable shading color

49
00:03:24.723 --> 00:03:27.363
Use Alt + Backspace

50
00:03:27.972 --> 00:03:31.392
to fill the entire selected area with the main color

51
00:03:33.320 --> 00:03:34.276
Looks good

52
00:03:34.277 --> 00:03:36.866
Next, press Ctrl + D

53
00:03:37.263 --> 00:03:39.663
to deselect the area

54
00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:46.479
From here, we'll remove the shaded areas

55
00:03:46.816 --> 00:03:48.436
exposed to light

56
00:03:49.637 --> 00:03:50.877
What it means is that

57
00:03:53.179 --> 00:03:57.640
from now on, we're not going to paint with colors

58
00:03:58.736 --> 00:04:00.937
but if you go to the drawing color next to it

59
00:04:00.937 --> 00:04:03.617
there's a main and a sub color

60
00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:06.699
Instead of using these

61
00:04:06.700 --> 00:04:09.601
we'll use the transparent pixel option below

62
00:04:10.202 --> 00:04:12.882
I'm going to select this empty color

63
00:04:13.179 --> 00:04:14.179
and

64
00:04:14.707 --> 00:04:16.100
paint the part

65
00:04:17.109 --> 00:04:19.429
that receives light like this

66
00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:27.559
Alright, I've now

67
00:04:28.359 --> 00:04:30.639
painted the areas exposed to light

68
00:04:32.760 --> 00:04:36.599
When you select the transparent pixel option and use a brush

69
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:39.538
the existing color is erased

70
00:04:39.999 --> 00:04:43.972
 allowing you to create the illuminated areas

71
00:04:45.671 --> 00:04:49.291
Earlier, I mentioned that

72
00:04:49.292 --> 00:04:52.000
we wouldn't lock the transparent pixels yet

73
00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:56.580
and here's why

74
00:04:57.460 --> 00:04:59.760
If you look closely

75
00:04:59.761 --> 00:05:05.546
you might notice some areas 
where the brush strokes unintentionally extend

76
00:05:06.020 --> 00:05:09.600
Now, switch back to the main drawing color

77
00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:12.259
and again

78
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.180
color

79
00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:22.020
and refine the light areas

80
00:05:22.667 --> 00:05:23.667
However

81
00:05:24.363 --> 00:05:29.901
let's say we moved like this

82
00:05:30.261 --> 00:05:33.245
If transparent pixel lock is enabled

83
00:05:33.830 --> 00:05:37.290
you won’t be able to repaint those areas

84
00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:42.612
because they are currently empty and locked

85
00:05:43.098 --> 00:05:48.418
Transparent pixel lock prevents any changes to areas without color

86
00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:51.241
That's why we temporarily disable

87
00:05:51.241 --> 00:05:54.632
the transparent pixel lock during this process

88
00:05:57.300 --> 00:06:00.179
Great, that's how

89
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.699
you adjust these settings

90
00:06:19.129 --> 00:06:21.489
You may have noticed that

91
00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:31.220
you'll often need to switch between the main and transparent drawing colors

92
00:06:31.438 --> 00:06:35.498
So, you have to select transparent drawing color frequently

93
00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:39.059
For that, if you set a shortcut

94
00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:40.818
it can make the process much more efficient

95
00:06:41.159 --> 00:06:43.399
To set a shortcut

96
00:06:43.681 --> 00:06:48.461
press Ctrl, Alt, Shift, K

97
00:06:48.868 --> 00:06:51.748
shortcut settings window opens

98
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:57.820
Once the window appears, navigate to the Options section

99
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:04.040
 where you'll find the Drawing Color settings

100
00:07:04.401 --> 00:07:08.542
Here, you'll see that switching between 
main color and sub-color is assigned to X

101
00:07:08.542 --> 00:07:11.783
I'm going to delete this shortcut

102
00:07:12.900 --> 00:07:17.039
Instead, there's Switch Between Drawing and Transparent Color

103
00:07:18.236 --> 00:07:22.356
I'll assign this to X

104
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:30.060
Alternatively, you can keep X for 
switching between the main and sub-colors

105
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:36.240
and assign C for switching between 
the drawing and transparent colors

106
00:07:37.497 --> 00:07:38.657
Once set

107
00:07:39.058 --> 00:07:41.738
pressing C will instantly

108
00:07:41.740 --> 00:07:43.260
Can you see?

109
00:07:43.760 --> 00:07:48.360
Main and transparent drawing colors switches seamlessly

110
00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:52.251
Alright, let's proceed with the actual work

111
00:07:52.775 --> 00:07:55.375
I'm currently erasing

112
00:07:57.140 --> 00:08:02.839
the areas exposed to light using the brush tool

113
00:08:21.880 --> 00:08:26.800
However, this method seems to take quite a bit of time

114
00:08:26.801 --> 00:08:28.966
Since I have to paint each part individually

115
00:08:28.966 --> 00:08:31.040
it feels like it's taking a lot of time

116
00:08:31.700 --> 00:08:35.019
To speed up the process

117
00:08:35.780 --> 00:08:37.719
we can use tools

118
00:08:37.719 --> 00:08:41.760
we've learned before, such as

119
00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:45.634
the Lasso Fill Tool or the Lasso Tool

120
00:08:46.054 --> 00:08:50.581
These tools make it easier and faster

121
00:08:50.581 --> 00:08:52.531
to define and edit the areas

122
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.919
Let's try using the Lasso Fill Tool

123
00:08:57.171 --> 00:08:59.551
After selecting the transparent pixel option

124
00:09:00.213 --> 00:09:07.899
you can quickly erase areas

125
00:09:08.782 --> 00:09:09.782
quickly

126
00:09:10.943 --> 00:09:13.783
by simply selecting them like this

127
00:09:14.619 --> 00:09:17.360
However, instead of relying solely on this tool

128
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:24.296
it's a good idea to mix it up with the brush tool

129
00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:28.899
Even things like hair can be accessed

130
00:09:29.939 --> 00:09:32.159
and used quickly using the selection tool

131
00:09:32.871 --> 00:09:35.291
for reference layers

132
00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:50.260
Can't we just

133
00:09:50.261 --> 00:09:51.880
erase directly?

134
00:09:51.880 --> 00:09:54.209
Why bother using the transparent drawing color?

135
00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:56.930
Some might wonder like this

136
00:09:57.340 --> 00:10:01.940
Or, some of you may have already guessed

137
00:10:01.941 --> 00:10:04.225
why I'm choosing the transparent pixel color

138
00:10:04.608 --> 00:10:08.088
As I explained earlier

139
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:13.100
it's because tools like the Lasso Fill Tool

140
00:10:13.524 --> 00:10:16.124
cannot be used with an eraser

141
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.379
It's a simple but definitive reason

142
00:11:13.780 --> 00:11:18.720
For areas like the eyes, you can roughly erase the surrounding shading

143
00:11:18.721 --> 00:11:22.152
to reveal the original colors

144
00:11:37.539 --> 00:11:40.659
Now, let's work on the clothing

145
00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:47.280
Since we're dealing with a backlight scenario

146
00:11:47.662 --> 00:11:52.142
consider how the light would hit the fabric

147
00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:57.340
and define the highlights accordingly

148
00:12:52.264 --> 00:12:53.900
As you can see

149
00:12:53.901 --> 00:12:56.909
I'm not relying on just one tool

150
00:12:57.115 --> 00:12:59.260
Instead, I'm switching between various tools

151
00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:09.300
Clip Studio isn't something we just use with the tools we learned

152
00:13:09.520 --> 00:13:13.500
but it's something we use in various situations

153
00:13:14.013 --> 00:13:16.013
Like this

154
00:13:16.014 --> 00:13:17.579
It would be good if you know like this

155
00:13:32.100 --> 00:13:33.990
Here, let's try

156
00:13:34.609 --> 00:13:37.549
changing the color

157
00:13:38.418 --> 00:13:43.398
of a specific part like we did before

158
00:13:44.339 --> 00:13:50.340
This step involves changing the shading color of 
specific areas using a selection from the layer

159
00:13:51.059 --> 00:13:56.359
We'll use the Selection Tool for Reference Layers

160
00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:58.829
to choose the areas we want to modify

161
00:13:59.049 --> 00:14:02.099
typically the skin

162
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:03.579
Start by selecting the skin

163
00:14:03.579 --> 00:14:07.779
However, we need to include another area

164
00:14:07.779 --> 00:14:09.819
the eyes

165
00:14:09.819 --> 00:14:12.339
If we only lighten the skin tone

166
00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:15.688
the eyes might appear unnaturally dark

167
00:14:16.219 --> 00:14:19.079
So, hold down Shift

168
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:25.360
and select them as well

169
00:14:25.566 --> 00:14:29.786
Instead of the Selection Tool for Reference Layers

170
00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:37.000
we'll use the Selection Tool Referencing Other Layers to isolate just the eyes

171
00:14:37.780 --> 00:14:40.500
Next, let's utilize the Lasso Tool

172
00:14:41.813 --> 00:14:45.013
It seems the shortcut for the Lasso Tool hasn't been set yet

173
00:14:54.499 --> 00:14:58.280
which can make it harder to find

174
00:14:58.520 --> 00:15:00.548
Once you locate the Lasso Tool

175
00:15:00.588 --> 00:15:04.388
I'll press the plus like this

176
00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:09.580
and make sure to capture all the places I want 
without making any mistakes

177
00:15:12.380 --> 00:15:13.400
Okay, good

178
00:15:14.465 --> 00:15:16.045
Now, let's

179
00:15:18.179 --> 00:15:22.020
isolate the shading color

180
00:15:22.700 --> 00:15:25.580
To do this

181
00:15:25.581 --> 00:15:32.144
hold Ctrl, Alt, Shift and click on the thumbnail of the shading layer

182
00:15:32.144 --> 00:15:37.780
This will select only the shading colors

183
00:15:39.231 --> 00:15:40.231
Or

184
00:15:43.540 --> 00:15:47.060
by going to the Tools Menu, selecting Layer

185
00:15:47.177 --> 00:15:52.020
and then choosing Select from Layer

186
00:15:52.020 --> 00:15:54.991
Selection from Layer

187
00:15:54.992 --> 00:15:58.570
then you can achieve the same result

188
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:03.600
Next, let's adjust the shading color

189
00:16:04.420 --> 00:16:07.020
Slightly increase the brightness of the shading

190
00:16:07.021 --> 00:16:08.824
Be careful not to overdo it

191
00:16:09.660 --> 00:16:10.759
Find a balance

192
00:16:10.760 --> 00:16:12.480
Zoom out

193
00:16:13.067 --> 00:16:16.187
and check if the color looks good

194
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:21.620
and choose a color that you think

195
00:16:22.099 --> 00:16:23.120
is good enough

196
00:16:23.932 --> 00:16:24.793
Okay

197
00:16:24.793 --> 00:16:29.047
The face now appears brighter

198
00:16:30.260 --> 00:16:34.240
This time, I'll only adjust the skin tone

199
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.341
and leave the other areas untouched

200
00:16:36.640 --> 00:16:38.420
Since it's a nighttime scene

201
00:16:38.421 --> 00:16:41.260
I think the darker atmosphere suits it better

202
00:16:41.498 --> 00:16:45.638
Evening Color Correction

203
00:16:46.560 --> 00:16:48.019
While we could

204
00:16:49.660 --> 00:16:52.720
create folders one by one

205
00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:57.699
in the previous session, we learned how to save them as materials

206
00:16:58.259 --> 00:17:02.199
Let's bring in the material we made earlier

207
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.219
By doing this, the effect folder

208
00:17:06.220 --> 00:17:08.729
and its subfolders

209
00:17:08.729 --> 00:17:12.116
including the effect layers, are applied all at once

210
00:17:12.419 --> 00:17:13.760
It's much more convenient and efficient

211
00:17:15.081 --> 00:17:17.561
Now, let's

212
00:17:18.320 --> 00:17:20.519
get started with the work

213
00:17:22.733 --> 00:17:25.534
We'll apply color in the Multiply layer

214
00:17:25.534 --> 00:17:27.443
but this time, even though it's an evening scene

215
00:17:27.444 --> 00:17:30.964
we won't make the color too dark

216
00:17:31.260 --> 00:17:34.168
This is because it's a backlight situation

217
00:17:34.425 --> 00:17:37.825
and if the Multiply layer is overly dark

218
00:17:37.986 --> 00:17:40.546
the entire illustration might look muddy

219
00:17:40.736 --> 00:17:43.819
or excessively dark

220
00:17:45.875 --> 00:17:48.595
Let's start by selecting all areas

221
00:17:48.781 --> 00:17:52.181
of the character using the base gray layer

222
00:17:52.788 --> 00:17:55.508
Ctrl and Left Click on the thumbnail

223
00:17:57.068 --> 00:18:01.860
Switch back to the Multiply layer, choose an appropriate color

224
00:18:03.040 --> 00:18:07.520
and fill the entire selection with the main drawing color

225
00:18:07.827 --> 00:18:10.727
using the shortcut Alt and Backspace

226
00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.660
Since the color looks a bit too dark

227
00:18:16.249 --> 00:18:22.089
I'll adjust it using the Hue/Saturation Adjustment window

228
00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:26.579
Let's increase the brightness

229
00:18:27.415 --> 00:18:29.735
to about 70

230
00:18:30.259 --> 00:18:32.839
Since the hue already looks suitable

231
00:18:32.840 --> 00:18:36.336
we'll proceed without any changes

232
00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:38.559
Great

233
00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:43.880
Now, switch to the Color Dodge

234
00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:49.600
and bring out the brighter areas' color

235
00:18:50.060 --> 00:18:53.320
As always, keep the base gray layer at the bottom

236
00:18:53.464 --> 00:18:56.485
and use Ctrl and Left Click

237
00:18:56.485 --> 00:18:59.409
to consistently select the entire character

238
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:04.979
This is why you need to keep 
the base color gray and preserve the layer

239
00:19:07.939 --> 00:19:10.640
Now, select the Gradient Tool

240
00:19:11.632 --> 00:19:15.332
choose a light color

241
00:19:15.332 --> 00:19:19.040
and apply a soft, gradual light effect from a distance

242
00:19:20.900 --> 00:19:22.740
Looks great

243
00:19:27.419 --> 00:19:30.160
The light is blending in naturally now

244
00:19:32.540 --> 00:19:36.499
Choose a slightly purple-tinted color

245
00:19:42.540 --> 00:19:48.079
and toggle the layer on and off to check 
how it looks in the current scene

246
00:19:48.939 --> 00:19:50.120
Good

247
00:19:50.324 --> 00:19:51.824
If you're satisfied with the effect

248
00:19:52.165 --> 00:20:00.385
switch to the Soft Airbrush

249
00:20:02.305 --> 00:20:07.260
and use a color that complements the surrounding light

250
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:10.380
to highlight the brighter parts of the character

251
00:20:11.291 --> 00:20:13.791
and wrap up the color dodge part

252
00:20:14.520 --> 00:20:17.539
Now, let's move on to the Soft Light layer

253
00:20:17.540 --> 00:20:20.657
I'll paint and detail

254
00:20:20.657 --> 00:20:22.957
the illuminated areas

255
00:20:24.360 --> 00:20:29.879
For this, I'll once again use the Blending Round Brush

256
00:20:30.959 --> 00:20:34.019
Since the brightest parts

257
00:20:35.028 --> 00:20:37.048
in this backlight setting

258
00:20:37.049 --> 00:20:39.538
are the illuminated areas

259
00:20:43.699 --> 00:20:47.081
consider these highlights a special color

260
00:20:47.081 --> 00:20:50.532
to enhance the overall harmony

261
00:20:54.580 --> 00:20:57.379
Switch the eraser to a Soft Eraser

262
00:21:01.060 --> 00:21:06.619
and alternate between painting and erasing

263
00:21:25.819 --> 00:21:27.980
Since the light areas are already defined

264
00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:30.820
overlapping or overdoing the highlights is unnecessary

265
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:03.879
For precision

266
00:22:05.239 --> 00:22:08.539
use the Selection Tool for Reference Layers

267
00:22:09.019 --> 00:22:11.880
to prevent any areas from spilling outside

268
00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:16.375
Good

269
00:22:17.032 --> 00:22:19.292
Next, select the clothing

270
00:22:19.292 --> 00:22:25.552
and highlight the brighter areas within it

271
00:22:35.219 --> 00:22:39.639
Since this is a style closer to cel shading

272
00:22:39.896 --> 00:22:44.056
there's no need to over-render or add excessive detail

273
00:22:44.057 --> 00:22:48.374
The picture doesn't feel like it's made of cells

274
00:22:48.374 --> 00:22:51.260
and it can be a touch-based coloring method

275
00:22:51.261 --> 00:22:54.361
that draws by piling up too much

276
00:22:56.120 --> 00:22:58.179
so just hold it in moderation

277
00:22:58.835 --> 00:23:01.675
Zoom out occasionally

278
00:23:01.932 --> 00:23:06.872
to review the overall balance

279
00:23:07.512 --> 00:23:09.659
Almost like viewing a forest

280
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:13.699
and trim them like this

281
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:16.180
Good

282
00:23:16.181 --> 00:23:20.011
I think I can finish it at this point

283
00:23:20.580 --> 00:23:24.800
so I'll finish catching the light in soft light

284
00:23:25.320 --> 00:23:27.840
Now, let's move up to the Color Dodge

285
00:23:28.536 --> 00:23:32.056
and define the lighting for each part

286
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:36.300
Start by selecting the hat using 
the Selection Tool for Reference Layers

287
00:23:36.301 --> 00:23:38.801
Then, choose the Soft Airbrush

288
00:23:45.288 --> 00:23:50.608
and enhance the brightness of the hat

289
00:23:50.959 --> 00:23:51.928
Nice

290
00:23:51.928 --> 00:23:54.781
For the face

291
00:23:54.781 --> 00:23:57.428
Color Dodge can make it appear overly yellow

292
00:23:57.428 --> 00:23:59.228
so it's best to use it sparingly

293
00:23:59.820 --> 00:24:05.360
Just lightly touch up the highlights and move on

294
00:24:05.721 --> 00:24:09.141
Or you can lightly apply it to areas like the eyes

295
00:24:11.060 --> 00:24:14.771
Select the hair as a reference layer

296
00:24:14.771 --> 00:24:15.831
and

297
00:24:15.832 --> 00:24:17.484
tap it back like this

298
00:24:19.744 --> 00:24:24.100
Use a soft eraser to tap the scarf

299
00:24:24.100 --> 00:24:26.740
Don't use too much

300
00:24:28.580 --> 00:24:34.040
For the clothing, just a few light strokes will suffice

301
00:24:34.040 --> 00:24:35.360
It's enough

302
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:40.840
Good

303
00:24:40.840 --> 00:24:43.701
The key is to subtly enhance

304
00:24:43.701 --> 00:24:46.187
the lighting for each part

305
00:24:47.212 --> 00:24:48.672
keeping it natural and balanced

306
00:24:50.300 --> 00:24:52.220
This looks great

307
00:24:52.875 --> 00:24:57.195
I think we've achieved all we need with the Color Dodge

308
00:24:57.195 --> 00:24:58.894
Now, let's move up to the Multiply layer

309
00:24:59.580 --> 00:25:02.780
The Multiply layer here is different than the previous one

310
00:25:03.342 --> 00:25:07.722
It adds shadows to specific areas of each part

311
00:25:07.723 --> 00:25:10.443
and lays colors

312
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:13.200
Next

313
00:25:15.120 --> 00:25:16.840
move back to the shading

314
00:25:16.841 --> 00:25:19.674
hold down the control button

315
00:25:19.675 --> 00:25:20.735
Shading

316
00:25:22.031 --> 00:25:24.451
Left click

317
00:25:24.930 --> 00:25:27.510
This will select only the shadowed areas

318
00:25:27.870 --> 00:25:30.560
Next, move back to the Multiply layer

319
00:25:30.560 --> 00:25:33.427
select the Soft Airbrush

320
00:25:35.180 --> 00:25:40.580
and choose a color similar to the existing shadows

321
00:25:40.580 --> 00:25:44.220
Lightly apply the brush to the areas where you want

322
00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:49.180
If there aren't many areas to adjust, 
you don't need to press too much

323
00:25:49.625 --> 00:25:52.065
Just a little is enough

324
00:25:53.080 --> 00:25:56.740
Not every layer needs to play a major role

325
00:25:59.020 --> 00:26:01.060
A subtle touch like this

326
00:26:02.189 --> 00:26:06.009
Now, I'll slightly

327
00:26:06.320 --> 00:26:10.980
erase this area because the shadow here feels a bit too abrupt

328
00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:14.420
Good

329
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:21.020
For this part, I'll press a little more

330
00:26:21.020 --> 00:26:24.359
since it's inside the clothing, where deeper shadows make sense

331
00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:27.480
Just a light touch

332
00:26:33.580 --> 00:26:35.380
Good

333
00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:39.322
Now that we're done here

334
00:26:39.322 --> 00:26:42.824
let's move up to the Screen

335
00:26:42.824 --> 00:26:47.420
and focus on refining and enhancing the light

336
00:26:48.600 --> 00:26:52.860
To find the light on the Screen

337
00:26:54.014 --> 00:26:57.934
select the entire base gray layer

338
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:04.309
then isolate the bright areas

339
00:27:05.420 --> 00:27:09.160
Next, let's isolate the shadow area

340
00:27:09.281 --> 00:27:12.441
To exclude the shadowed areas

341
00:27:12.441 --> 00:27:14.482
go to the shading layer

342
00:27:15.100 --> 00:27:18.956
From there, open the Tools layer

343
00:27:20.189 --> 00:27:23.869
and go to selection range

344
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:27.860
choose Remove Selection under

345
00:27:27.861 --> 00:27:33.154
This will leave only the bright areas

346
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.680
Or, in this state

347
00:27:38.195 --> 00:27:39.195
shading

348
00:27:39.323 --> 00:27:41.524
Hold Ctrl and Alt and Left Click

349
00:27:41.524 --> 00:27:46.570
on the thumbnail of the shading layer

350
00:27:46.990 --> 00:27:50.020
This method also

351
00:27:51.800 --> 00:27:53.960
isolates the bright areas

352
00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:57.320
We're not done yet

353
00:27:57.320 --> 00:28:00.220
You also need to exclude the pen touch

354
00:28:00.221 --> 00:28:05.242
Hold Ctrl + Alt and Left Click on the thumbnail

355
00:28:05.242 --> 00:28:09.080
The pen touch areas are also excluded

356
00:28:09.081 --> 00:28:11.621
leaving only the truly bright areas

357
00:28:12.100 --> 00:28:13.652
Now, switch to the Screen

358
00:28:15.471 --> 00:28:19.311
and select the desired color

359
00:28:19.771 --> 00:28:21.431
for the highlights

360
00:28:21.620 --> 00:28:23.720
Fill the selection using the shortcut

361
00:28:23.721 --> 00:28:25.988
Alt and Backspace

362
00:28:26.751 --> 00:28:28.071
Good

363
00:28:28.760 --> 00:28:33.660
Since the scene is quite dark

364
00:28:33.661 --> 00:28:35.981
but the color has been applied

365
00:28:37.280 --> 00:28:41.580
Next, duplicate the Screen layer

366
00:28:43.020 --> 00:28:44.072
Once duplicated

367
00:28:44.403 --> 00:28:46.543
go to the lower Screen

368
00:28:46.543 --> 00:28:47.838
Filter

369
00:28:47.838 --> 00:28:48.777
Blur

370
00:28:48.777 --> 00:28:50.717
Gaussian Blur

371
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:53.380
I'll increase the intensity

372
00:28:54.458 --> 00:28:58.978
Set the intensity to around 80

373
00:28:59.318 --> 00:29:01.560
but this is up to personal preference

374
00:29:01.560 --> 00:29:05.140
Preview the effect

375
00:29:05.141 --> 00:29:08.029
and adjust it to your liking

376
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:15.741
For this scene, I want to create the feeling of

377
00:29:15.741 --> 00:29:19.944
a backlight night illuminated by streetlights

378
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.140
so I’ll set the intensity to around 85

379
00:29:23.141 --> 00:29:26.125
or 86 and press OK

380
00:29:27.820 --> 00:29:31.420
This will help enhance the glowing backlight effect

381
00:29:33.600 --> 00:29:36.861
Now, the light resembles a streetlamp's glow

382
00:29:36.861 --> 00:29:38.478
It's glowing

383
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:42.460
You could finish here

384
00:29:42.460 --> 00:29:48.620
but duplicating the blurred Screen layer once more

385
00:29:48.621 --> 00:29:50.439
will make the light even brighter

386
00:29:51.280 --> 00:29:54.140
How much glow you want depends on your preference

387
00:29:54.141 --> 00:29:56.649
you can duplicate it again

388
00:29:57.360 --> 00:30:00.420
This brightness level feels just right

389
00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:03.680
So I'll wrap up the lighting here

390
00:30:03.780 --> 00:30:06.558
Now, let's open the Hue Adjustment

391
00:30:06.898 --> 00:30:12.332
You can do this by pressing the shortcut Ctrl U

392
00:30:12.332 --> 00:30:14.552
or in the toolbar, navigate to Edit

393
00:30:15.832 --> 00:30:17.720
Hue/Saturation Adjustment

394
00:30:17.721 --> 00:30:22.821
In the adjustment window, you can modify 
Hue, Saturation, and Brightness

395
00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:27.700
By slightly tweaking the hue

396
00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:28.560
you can create

397
00:30:30.014 --> 00:30:32.754
the effect of the character

398
00:30:32.754 --> 00:30:38.200
being illuminated by surrounding neon lights

399
00:30:39.020 --> 00:30:41.420
For instance, a purple hue

400
00:30:41.421 --> 00:30:44.081
gives the impression of light reflecting from nearby neon signs

401
00:30:45.220 --> 00:30:48.580
However, since the lighting in this scene

402
00:30:49.387 --> 00:30:52.227
is a warm-toned red streetlight

403
00:30:53.580 --> 00:30:57.360
I'll adjust the hue slightly towards red to match the atmosphere

404
00:30:57.360 --> 00:30:59.880
I also increased the saturation a bit

405
00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:01.760
Good

406
00:31:02.260 --> 00:31:04.160
With this adjustment

407
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:08.740
I'll wrap up the light enhancements on the Screen

408
00:31:09.020 --> 00:31:11.340
and move on to the Addition layer for further adjustments

409
00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:16.280
On the Addition layer, you can create 
a halo effect around the character

410
00:31:16.280 --> 00:31:20.520
to simulate the light coming from the surroundings

411
00:31:21.540 --> 00:31:24.300
Choose an appropriate light

412
00:31:24.300 --> 00:31:26.053
an appropriate light color

413
00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:29.100
and use the Soft Airbrush

414
00:31:29.100 --> 00:31:34.680
to gently tap and click on the areas that should receive the light

415
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.640
Gradually increase to enhance the glow

416
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:40.900
If any areas feel too intense

417
00:31:40.901 --> 00:31:43.459
switch to the Soft Eraser and lightly erase

418
00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:48.480
The reason for starting with smaller light taps

419
00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:52.500
is to make the inner areas shine more prominently

420
00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:56.740
while allowing the light to diffuse outward naturally

421
00:31:58.520 --> 00:32:01.960
For instance, since there’s a streetlight here, I’ll add a bit

422
00:32:04.280 --> 00:32:07.260
to enhance the realism

423
00:32:08.020 --> 00:32:13.020
Overusing the light can make the scene look unnatural or muddy

424
00:32:13.020 --> 00:32:15.820
so I’ll keep it subtle and finish the adjustments on the Addition

425
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:18.000
Finally, the Screen

426
00:32:18.520 --> 00:32:22.600
The screen above will be different from the screen below

427
00:32:22.600 --> 00:32:28.440
and I'll apply light that encompasses 
the background and the character

428
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:32.880
From the Tools Menu, select the Gradient Tool

429
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:37.300
and choose the Foreground to Transparent option

430
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:44.940
Next, pick a suitable color from the background

431
00:32:45.520 --> 00:32:48.180
and slightly increase the saturation

432
00:32:48.180 --> 00:32:54.900
Now, apply the gradient from a distance

433
00:32:58.700 --> 00:33:03.340
This approach creates a much more dramatic lighting effect

434
00:33:06.360 --> 00:33:11.440
You can also apply the gradient to make it appear 
as though light is softly descending from above

435
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:15.160
Feel free to adjust this

436
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:17.461
based on your personal preferences

437
00:33:19.581 --> 00:33:25.220
We've completed the evening color correction

438
00:33:25.220 --> 00:33:26.820
And now

439
00:33:27.100 --> 00:33:30.100
let's wrap up the evening color correction here

440
00:33:30.100 --> 00:33:34.380
Through this lesson, we've explored 
evening color correction in Clip Studio

441
00:33:34.380 --> 00:33:38.500
By mastering daylight, afternoon, and evening corrections

442
00:33:38.500 --> 00:33:42.020
you can create a wide range of scenes

443
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:44.761
We've covered the basics of

444
00:33:44.761 --> 00:33:48.541
using Clip Studio for webtoon production

445
00:33:48.541 --> 00:33:49.680
How was it?

446
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:55.100
Are you ready to create your webtoon with Clip Studio?

447
00:33:55.100 --> 00:33:59.020
I hope this tutorial has been helpful in your webtoon creation journey

448
00:33:59.020 --> 00:34:00.300
Thank you

449
00:34:00.622 --> 00:34:02.462
Evening Shading
You can draw evening light and shade by painting the entire light and shade and then painting the light
You should disable the transparent pixel lock to make it easier to edit

450
00:34:02.462 --> 00:34:04.383
After selecting a transparent color, you can draw a picture to erase the color already drawn and add light and shade with a bright color
In the case of the pupil, it is also effective to erase the correction to show the original color

451
00:34:04.383 --> 00:34:05.607
Since it is evening, you need to express a situation where it receives light, such as backlighting

452
00:34:05.607 --> 00:34:07.487
Evening Color Correction
Correction Steps
Multiply Layer 1: Apply an overall color to the character, ensuring it’s not too dark
Color Dodge Layer: Brighten the layer’s color and reduce contrast

453
00:34:07.487 --> 00:34:08.527
Soft Light Layer: Add colors to the illuminated parts
Color Dodge Layer: Define lighting for each part individually
Multiply Layer 2: Add shadows to specific areas of each part

454
00:34:08.527 --> 00:34:10.528
Screen Layer 1: Highlight and emphasize bright areas
Addition Layer: Create a halo effect around the character
Screen Layer 2: Add overall lighting and tone to the illustration
