Whew, I really enjoyed the process! I was honestly pretty nervous about transitioning from grayscale to color — I was afraid I’d completely mess it up 😅 But I’m really glad I gave it a try, because I ended up liking the final result a lot! I also really love Dave’s style — I feel like it clicks with me more intuitively and feels more natural to follow. I just noticed that the summer sale on Proko started, so now I’m seriously considering picking up Dave’s characters course too 👀 I’d really appreciate any feedback or advice on what I should focus on improving next! 🙏 @Dave Greco
LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

I'll show you how to take your weapon design through the final polish phase. We will add magical effects, glows, and energy wisps to give the composition more life. I will explain how to use your eraser tool to shape these effects so they look natural instead of just using a standard brush shape. Then, we will refine the details by adding glints, deepening shadows, and painting in some realistic wear and tear. Finally, I will walk you through using a multiply layer for a subtle vignette and adjusting your curves to control contrast and make the final piece stand out.

Proko
Let's finalize our weapon design by adding glowing effects and refining the details. I'll also show you how to use curves to enhance the contrast.
