Santa Samurai: Painting Samurai Santas in Watercolor

1. Welcome and introduction: Welcome to Centa Samurai, a fester watercolor class holiday charm meet warrior spirit. In this class, we will paint two bold and imaginative center characters reimagined as legendary samurai warriors. First, we have the reindeer general, a commanding center with antler inspired head gear and scrolls of festive duty. Then we have Senta of the red armor der, a noble Cena outfitted in a traditional red samurai armor ready for winter adventure. We will start the class with simple sketching techniques in which I will show you how you can easily draw the various components of the Santa's body, how you can use proportion to make the drawing much easier, and few additional elements that we'll be adding for our projects. Then we will explore the watercolor basics, the things that we'll be using our project. Then I'll be showing you how I'll be using layering, sading, adding texture, creating depth, and using controlled vases to bring out details in fabric, fur, metal and holiday accessories. Once we are familiar with the technique, we will move on to our two full watercolor projects. Most lessons are taught in real time, allowing you to paint along comfortablely, and enjoy the process at your own piece. Whether you are a complete beginner or an intermediate artist, this class is designed to be fun, relaxing and creatively inspiring. Hi, I am Michelle an artist from India. This is my Skillshare profile. I teach classes on oil pastel, watercolor, and paint and ink illustrations. This is one of the class that is related to this class. You can check this out. Apart from this, you can also check my work on Instagram and YouTube. If you are interested, join me in this class as we festive storytelling with artistic technique to create two powerful and joyful Santa samurai illustrations. I hope you will join me in this class, and let's have a lot of fun. 2. Class project: For your class project, you can create both the center SRI illustration, the reindeer general, and the center of the red armor. And apart from this, you can also upload any work in progress photos, sketches or practice seats, your color taste or watercolor texture if you explore different techniques. I would love to see your creative interpretation, different color armor details or some of the addisona elements you have used. Feel free to share feedback, ask question or request guidance. 3. Supplies: For this class, you will need very basic supplies, pencil and eraser to do the initial pencil sketching. If you have needed eraser, that would be most preferable, masking tape to secure the paper if you are going to use loose sets. Then we need watercolor. Here I'll be using Camel's watercolor. Camel's artists watercolor, you can use any watercolor you have. We just need five to six color. If you have gauze, you can use gauze instead of the watercolor. I'll also be using a little bit of gauze for some of the sections. I'll be using this red ink to do the first flat vase. If you don't have, you can just use the watercolor or the gauze as the primary layering on the first flat vase. I'll also be using a little bit of white ink for some of those sections. And then we have fine liners and theraspin to do the outlining and also for adding the final touches, Watercolor brushes. A watercolor brushes of small sizes will do the work. Then we need water cooler paper. Here I'm using Bustos 300 GSM, 25% cotton water paper. Just ensure that the density of the paper is around 300 GSM. And lastly, tissue paper. These are the basic supplies that you will need in this class. 4. Proportions: Welcome to the first tutorial video. In here, I'll be showing you how you can use proportions to make the process much faster and much easier. In here, I'll be showing you how I'll be creating the proportions to create the project. I'll be starting with a very simple straight lines, and I'll be either dividing into four sections or each sexon depending upon how detailed project we are going to create. So just simple straight lines, determine the top and bottom for that, then divide into four different sections. For our two main project, I use the proportions lines to create them. For this one, the reindeer chamber, I divide the line into four section, and for this one, I divide it into eight different sexton and then did the outlining. I'll be using this proportion to create our Santa starting with a triangular same. So this will determine the placement of Santa's head and the upper half of its body. A small circular C for the centas face and the head and the cap. And this large circular C for the centas body, then we have got Step two triangular somewhat of rhomboid C for the cenas thighs and remaining section of its leg. So this is just a very simple proposal that we'll be using. Here's a little bit more detailed one. And here, I'm dividing into different section, a total of six different sections. Instead of adding the head for the per section, I'll be adding it a little bit below it, since we'll have to add the cap on top of its head. Let's do the rough outlining for the remaining section of Santa's body. So this will be Santa's stomach and the hip area. And here, I'm not creating the circular c. I'll be using this kind of elliptical C for the centasystema, the lower half of Centa's body. And yeah, so this is just another simple C that we'll be using to create our Santa Claus. Now, let me show you how I'll be creating the armor plate just below the centa suast. So here, I'll be showing this rough example, how I'll be creating it. So this part is just below the centa suist. I'll be using this kind of parlo gram See you can say rectangular seeps a bit curvy or rectangular se. For the first one, I'll be creating two different plates for the centers armor. For the lower section of it, I'll be creating fur like Aperion. This is just a very simple one. Apart from this, I'll also be creating few pockets. And here, there will be a knot, one or 2 knots. Sides of the centers, I'll be placing the katanas or you can say swan. Here's another one. For the second one, instead of creating two plates armor, here, we'll be hemming. Here I decided to create multiple ones. Four or five layers of the plate armor for the center, as you can see. I'll be using different colours to create the plate armor and I'll also be using texture for it. This is just a simple way. You can create the plate armor for our centers. How you can create the face, it's very easy another circular C and using intersecting lines to determine the placement of its eyes, nose, and the mouth. I won't be creating much detailed feces, but if you want, you can do that. B large mousta bit fluffier beard. So this is how we'll be creating very simple find fees for our Santa Claus. So let me show you how we'll be creating in here. Triangular C at the intersecting point for the centas nose, a bit large Mustas Centas I, triangular C for the centas cap, and at large, a bit fluffier and large beard. You can check out my last class in which I created a lot of faces. You can use that as a guideline to make the features a little bit more detailed and defined. After doing this kind of pencil sketching to create the proportion for the centas body, then we'll be adding a little bit more detailing. I'll be using simple saves to do the outlining and then go in with the file iron or the brass paint to do the outlining. This is how we'll be proceeding, we simple sieves and adding more details as we go and making our centers look more mighty and more strong. This is how we'll be proceeding with our project. If you have any doubts or queries, you can ask me in the discussion section, and I'll be seeing you in the next video where we'll be doing the outline for the first center. 5. Pencil sketch of Rindeer General: Welcome to the first project, the Reindeer General. In here, we'll be using the same proportions that I showed you in the last video, starting with a straight line to determine the length for the centas body. If you want to make it a bit larger, bit smaller, you can do that. This is our straight line, and this will be the height of our center required Al mei making a little bit of adjustment. Dividing the straight line into different sections, four different sections of equal length. Now let's create the triangular, large triangular C for the cenas body. The widest part of the triangle within the center's stomach. For the upper part two, I'll be using the triangular shape to create the centaspes and centas beard. In here, I'll be creating the centaspes. This will be the outline for rough outline for the centers beard. And below this, we'll be creating the centas body, the stomach and the cenas waist. Let's create somewhat tough circular s for the centas stomach and the waist. This will be the upper part of the cenas stomach, and this will be the lower part. I'll also be using this triangular set to add the centashand. Let's do the remaining senson just below the cenas vest. The armor plates, the armor plates that the Santa Samurai will be wearing. Creating this kind of somewhat curvier rectangular set. The center will be wearing two plates armor. So let's make another one. This is just a rough outline. If you want to make adjustment in here, you can do that. This will be the layering. So for taxire in here, we'll make rating for texture. A small section of the other side wll will visible. And for the centers, lying, alm creating this kind of triangular theme. As you can see, I made a bit of changes. Placement on the centers is a little bit lower than the outline that we created for the centas body proportion. You don't have to stick with the outlines you have created. If required to make changes and adjustments. Let's take a closer look though. In here, we'll be creating the centasphesV small portion of the centasphes will be visible. Most will be covered by the centas Mustas and the beard and the helmet and the cap. Only this portion will be visible in here, we'll be creating centas eyes and the nose. This will be the Santa's ear. This is the hair line. Let's extend the hair line on the other side too on top of this. In here, we'll be creating the large helmet for our reindeer General. Instead of this kind of cap or helmet, you can create other kinds. In here, I'll be creating reindeer horns. Instead of this, if you want, you can create other kind of horn or you don't have to even create this. You can just skip it plain and simple triangular see for the Santas cap. Now, let's do the outlining for the remaining section. In here, I'm starting with the centas mousts. In here, I'm creating a large mustas for our Santa Claus. This will be the outline for the centas meat on the other side. Let's extend it. So this large beard will be covering the upper section of the cenas stomach. There will be some meat tied to the cenas medium for the lower half. Now let's do the remaining section in here. On this left side, I'm starting with the plate armor. So this will be the portion that will be covering the cena soldier. This will be the Samurai Santas armpit. Most of the section of the centas upper arm and the lower arm, the soldier and the hand won't be visible. It will be covered by the plate armor, creating this kind of somewhat of triangular C for the middle section of the cenas stomach. In here, we'll be creating patterns and design. These are also part of the centas armor play. For this side, only a small portion of the cenas hand will be visible. Let's create the outline for the centers and on this side. Santa's hand is inside his pocket. So only small section of this side will be visible. But if you want, you can create the whole hand. So this will be the centa's pocket. And this will be the small section of the center's hand that will be visible. In here, I'll be creating the plate armor for the cena's arm. And this will be the four that will surround the center's hand but part of the Santa solion. Right now, it's not making that much sense, but when we'll be doing the outline with the fine liner and the breast pan, the details will become a bit more clear and bit more apparent. Let's make this sweep a little bit more detail. In here, we'll be creating circular patterns using downs and occurs. So Santas moody is facing in this direction. So it'll be the middle section of the centatema extending this line. And in here will be the cenas bad. We'll be creating one or 2 knots, one at the middle and one not on the right or the left side. Let's complete the outline for the sand of the center. This section will be the centas elbow. This will be the remaining section of the centa's lower arm. In here, we'll be creating the plate armor for the centa's hand. The upper portion will be covered in the fur. And for the lower section, I'll be creating the gauntlet for the centas arm. So this will be covered in the fur. And now let's extend the remaining section for the cena's hand, starting with the triangular C and then we'll be adding the remaining section, the fingers and the palms. Here to this MRI center will be covered in the gloves. Since the center will be holding a large cutana sword, four fingers will be visible on this side, and a small portion of the center's thumb will be visible on the other side. These are the four fingers for the centers and the upper section are the part of the centas gloves. Outline. Let's do a graph outline for the centas cutana. Japanese swords are called Katana and he is holding on and our Samurai Santa is holding one of the katana on this hand. When these we are done with the outline for the upper part of the centas body. If you want to make adjustment, feel free to do that. Now let's do the remaining section, the lower half. So this will be the middle portion, and in here, I'll be creating this kind of simple knot. One more knot in here. The clothes are wrapped around the cantas stomach, and that is connecting it to the rest of the cantas armor plate for the region just below the centas waist. We'll be doing a little bit of detailing later on. Multiple layers of the plate armor. Amparious plates attached to different section of their body. In here, I'll be using grease to create the fur like appearance and texture. For this first SRI Santa, I'm not creating that much detailing plate armor, but if you want, you can do that. Let's create the second plate armor for the lower half. You can add a lot of detailing for the centa's armor. In here, I'll be using grease to create the fur like appearance and taxia. And with these we are done with part of the centaslin, let's do the remaining portion. So this portion will be just about the centas knee. The upper portion will be a little bit more fluffier. The lower portion, the remaining portion of the centa link I'll be making it a little bit more cartoony so it's a bit smaller and bit thinner. Let's create somewhat of triangular see in here. And this will be the center's knee. Here, there will be cloth wrapping around the different section of the center's lower ling. Now, let's create the remaining section of the centers ling. One of the cenas ling will be facing towards the left and the other will be on the right. And as you can see, I made a little bit of changes to the proportion that I created in. The line for the centas leg is just beside the centas knee, but I made a little bit of changes since I placed the centas head a little bit up, so that's why I had to create the legs a little bit lower. There will be two or three clothes wrapped around for the lower section of the centas leg. In here, too, if you want, you can create the plate armors. I'll be keeping the things a little bit easier for the lower half. Now, let's add a little bit more detail. Let's do a rough outlining for the Sentas facial feature. So this will be the Santas eyebrow. Very small eyes and a bit large nose. I'll be using skin color, a little bit of cure, and a bit of red to create rosy checks for our center. Let's make the outline for this antler a little bit more detailed and defined. This is just a rough pencil sketch. And I'll see you in the next do we are gonna be doing the outlining and adding more details to this. 6. Brush pen outlining: Welcome to the second venue. In here, I'll be using this Brs pin to do the outlining. We'll be adding detailings and making some changes wherever required. In here, I'm starting with the fees of our Santa Claus. Bottom section of Santas helmet or the care, I'll be dividing into two different sections, and we'll be using two different or three different colors to do the coloring. In here for the triangle C, let's make it a bit larger. And here too, I'll be dividing into different sections. Creating this kind of a straight line to divide this into different sections. Here we'll be using golden along with the yellow to create somewhat of golden hue for the upper section of the Santas helmet. From in here, I'll be creating the outline for the Santas antler. This is optimal. If you don't want, you don't have to do this. You can increase or decrease the size. You can increase the number of the antlers and you can also add some accessories to it. So in here, I've created three spikes on the antlers. In here, I'll be using combinations of grease in the white to do the coloring. Let's do the outlining for the last one. With this, we are done with the helmet. If you want to make genius adjustment, you can also add accessories on top of it. Now, let's do the outlining for the cantas phase, starting with the centas here line, the small C for the centas here. In here, I have cleated a bit large moustache. If you want, you can make it a bit smaller. Or if you want, you can also make it a bit more bossier, a bit more longer. You can also add beads on the ends of the centas Musa. I'll be adding a few beats at the bottom of the centas began. Very simple eyebrows. And I'll also be creating very simple eyes later on for now. Let's do the remaining section. So Centashir Santa's hair line on the other side. Now moving on to the right. And here, only a small section of the Santa's hair line is visible. For this side to, let's do the outlining. Finally, let's do the outlining for the Santas big beard. I'll be creating this kind of lines to give it a little bit of texture. A Bossier texture for the Santas beard. Here, I'll be adding two rings, and just below it, I'll also be adding one more ring. And this will be the pony tail. So this is the pony tail of the Santas beard. Let's do the outlining for the remaining section of the centas beard. I'll be starting with a bit of light pass with the grease and use two or three layerings of the colour to create centas beard and mustache. Moving on to the centa soldier. So this is the arm plate. This is the armor plate, and Let's create a small emblem in here. For this ingen we'll be using a bit of darker sets of the y to create a little bit of sad Now moving on to doing the outline for the cenas remaining arm. A little bit of this kind of line to create the Santas elbow. This will be the fur cone. So this will be furry, a bit of broken lines to do the outline in here. Here, too, we'll be using rays and whites to do the coloring. Santa's arm, so Santa's gauntlet. To make it a little bit more detail and add more coloring to it, we'll be using yellows. We'll be using yellow burn sienna and a little bit of ocher to do the coloring for the gauntlet and the hand. The gloves the Santa will be wearing. The gloves too is divided into different section when we'll be using different colors to make it a little bit more vibrant and interesting. This region just below the Santa's gauntlet will be a little bit darker inside, so I'll be covering it with the black or brown. This region to the upper part. So this region in the upper region will be covering it entirely with the blacks or the browns later on. Santa's thumb won't be visible. It's covered by the katana. In here, I'm greeting very simple katana, Japanese soon. Instead of this, if you want, you can make it a bit more detail, add more designs and more patterns to it. This is a very simplified version of the katana. We'll be using two or three colors to color it. I'll be using mostly a bit darker tones and a bit of yellowish tone to give it a little bit of golden hue. Also, I'll be adding and creating a few design and patterns on top of it. Outlining from the centers taste. In here, I'll be creating this kind of triangular seam. And inside this, I'll be creating more emblems, circular seams using yellows and the orchard to create patterns and a little bit of designing later on. Moving onto the other side of the center. For this side, the entire arm cents is not visible. Let's do the outlining for the things that are visible, the centas emblem, as well as a small section of the armor plate is visible. This will be the cenas hand that is inside Cintas pocket in here. The cents gauntlet, a small section of this is visible in this perspective. Instead of this, you can do a little bit of changes and make the Santa's hand a little bit straight, and he's holding a bag full of gifts. So this will be the Santa's elbow. And now let's connect it to the Santa soldier. We use another armor plate on the Santa's hand. A small section of this is visible. And let's do the outlining for the Santa's emblem on the side, too. Somewhat of hexagonal s for the centas emblem that we just created on the left side. For the emblems, I'll be using curs and burned Sianas moving on to the centas waistline. So this will be the knot at the centa's waist. Instead of this, if you want, you can create belt tomb, but I decided to create cloth wrapping around the cena's waist. Here I'll be using yellows, occurs, and brown to do the coloring in layering. Sending Santa's stomach on this side. Cloth wrapped around the Santa's waist. Here, I'll be tying another knot, a smaller knot in here. Just below the Santa Katana. Let's create water in here too. Outlining for the centas middle section. So with these, we are done with the upper part. Now let's do the outlining for the remaining, starting with the katana. Here I'm using a bit of broken line to do the outlining to give it a little bit more organic fill later on. If required, I'll be going back with the breastbin or the fine and do the outlining once again, creating very small digits for the centas finger. In here, you can create any kind of design pattern or you can just keep it simple. I decided to add a little bit of designs and pattern. You can create any kind of design as you desire. In here, I'm just creating very simple designs in this form, a little bit of curvier a little bit of curvier and maybe lines. This kind of somewhat semicircular c. This is the very simple Katana that Reindeer General is holding. Let's create the armor plate for the lower section. There will be two armor plate. If you to make adjustment where where you see you can decrease the sap and size you can increase or decrease the number of the armor plates or you can just keep it a single armor plate as you before. We have got two armor plates in here or you can concede it to be, or you can consider this to be two small pouches that is attached in here, adding more lines to do the outlining here to add a little bit of more depth to it. Here we'll be doing a little bit of seeding to make this region a little bit more darker. For this region in here, I'm creating a bit of broken line. Since this region will be a little bit fluffier, so a bit of broken lines to do the outlining. In here, too, if you want to add designs and pattern, you can do that for the second for the second armor plate, I'll be adding more designs and pattern. Now let's do the outlining for the second armor plate. Adding it just below the first armor plate. Let's do the outlining for the lower half. Outlining for the remaining section, creating boundary in here. We'll be creating the same kind of designs and pattern that we'll be creating for the triangular seat that we added on the top of San tastiest. Doing the outlining for the remaining section. Let's add another outlined section in here. In here, we'll be using yellows and cause you to do the coloring for the layering and then for the insides, I'll be going with the burned sienna or brown. Moving on to the Santa's leg, starting with the cantas thigh. This kind of set a somewhat of triangular ip. Here we'll be using combinations of red, brown, and a little bit of burned Siana. There will be cloth wrapped around the Santa's ankle and the lower part of the Santa's leg. This is optional. Instead of this, if you want, you can create armor plates for the leg too. Moving on to the cena second lane. Starting when doing the outlining and adding a little bit more detailings in form of cloth wrapped around Santa's knee. These are opthal If you don't want, you can just leave it as it is. Make simple links for the cena. This are the upper section of the centas leg. Now let's do the remaining portion, the lower half. So the clothes will be wrapped around the Santa's leg in here too. You need a little bit of broken lines to add a little bit of texture for the cloth that we'll be adding later on. The regions where I added this kind of line, I'll be creating the resemblance of the cloth wrapping around those areas. We'll be using yellows, chars or white to do the coloring for the clothes later on. So with this, we are done with a basic outlining for the entire section of the center's body. Now we'll be adding extra and additional details. Let's add more clothes wrapping around the center's leg. For some of the sections in here, I'll be using rates and a little bit of highlighting to sow a little bit of reflection for these regions. Creating very simple eyes for our Santa Claus. Tiny semicircular C for the cantas eyeballs. Making this side of the centas me and a bit more defined and pronounced. I forgot to add one more knot in here on the left side of Santas, Wach line sing outline for another not in here, very simple sign. Just like we for the first knot. Creating the outline for the Santa soldier, this side, too, creating clear distinction so creating clear distinction in between different section of the Santas body. Now, let's erase it, and then we'll be adding more detailing. On one side, I'll be creating the outline for three or four scrolls on the right side and on the left side, I'll be adding four or five gift wrap. Instead of the ink has tried and then only do the erasing, otherwise, you will get a little bit of smudging of the ink. So this is how it turned out the outlining for our ruined gen bro. And as I was mentioning in here, I'll be creating a little bit of designing or pattern or emblem. Just creating this kind of broken lines to do the outlining for the circular C. Using colour to create the patterns and emblem later on, but for now, just creating the semicircular se. A bit of semicircular s for the emblem, adding the same kind of s for this side. If you want, you can create a little bit more detail for the Santa's pet armor. Now moving on to the lower part of the cents armor plate, here, I'll be creating this kind of pattern. We'll be using the same kind of design or pattern that I'll be using for the upper section, the Santas chair. If you want, you can use or create different kind of pattern and textures. Now, let's do the outlining for the Santas gift and the scrolls. In here, I'm going back with a pencil to do the outlining. This is optional. If you don't want, you don't have to create the scrolls and the gift. I believe if you keep the samurid Santa as it is, it will look far better. If you want, you can just follow along with me and do the outlining for you gift packages on the Santa's back. Here, I created four or five gift packages. Let's do the outlining for them. I'll be keeping it bit simpler. If you want, you can create different seeps and sizes and change the placements too. Instead of the gift packages, you can also create the outline for the large bang, a large bag on this left side of the Santa Solon. Let's do the outlining for the remaining one. On top of this, I'll also be creating this kind of small branches and adding few laps for it and creating few lips surrounding it. All branch and two or three stems coming out of it and few leaves five or six. Adding another stem for it and very small seeps for the leaves. These are optional, too. If you don't want, you can just keep it simple. Et's create one more in here. You don't have to strictly follow the outlines that you have created. Feel free to make changes and adjustments as you see fit. On the other side, I'll be adding three scrolls on the centers right soldier. And as for these gift packages, I'll be using bright colours to do the coloring and I'll also be adding a few patterns to it, some kind of polka dots, small circular seats, or triangular seats to add a little bit of more interest to the gift packages. So this kind of simple seems to add a little bit of pattern and designs for the gift packages. I'll be using blues, greens, yellow, oranges, and a little bit of red to do the coloring. And I'll also be doing a little bit of seeding to add a little bit of more characteristics to the gift packages. Let's create one more gift package in here. Extending this gift package a little bit. And yeah, with these we are done with outlining for the gift packages. If you want, you can add few more. You can also create more gift packages on its right shoulder. In here, I'll be creating this kind of cylindrical sea too so that there are three or four scrolls on the center. Tying it with the ribbons, we'll be using red to do the coloring for the ribbons and also in here too, I'll be using bright colors to do the coloring, blue, yellow, screens and bright pinks, if required, creating the third and the final scroll in here. With these, we are done with outlining for our center. If you want to make changes, add more accessories, you can do that, and I'll see you in the next video. 7. Colors watercolor and gouache: Come to the second demonstration video in here. I'll be showing you how I'll be using the watercolor gauze ink to do the coloring for our sientas, creating shadows, doing gradient, creating shadows, adding a little bit more detailing, glazing and doing weight on wind as well as wet on dry techniques. For this project, I'll be using the ink. So this is a riding that I'm using. Apart from that, I'll also be using the watercolor and gauze. This is the watercolor that I'm using. Let's use a little bit of gauze. In here, I'm just doing a flat passe. Later on, we'll be doing a little bit of blending for all the colors. Using the ink to do the blending for the ink for the watercolor, I'll be using the watercolor and for the gauze. I'll be using the gauze, and I'll be sewing the things that we'll be doing and the things you should avoid. We will wait for it to dry until it dries. Let's talk about the consistency of the colours that we'll be using. For some of the sections, we'll be using with by lighters, the consistency of the color in here. As you can see for this ocher, I mixed a lot of water. Here we have got medium consistency of the color. I used a little bit of less water for this. Here for the third one, I did not add a lot of water for it. So mostly we'll be using the light consistency as well as the thicker consistency. We'll be using the lighter consistency of the color to do the first layering and the thicker consistency to do the outlining or or to add the detailings or add highlights. Now let's talk about the gradient creation as well as flat vase, credit as and different kind of vases that we'll be using. In here, I'm using the rating to create the flat pase. A flat pass is a smooth, even layer of color applied across the paper with no visible streaks or color changes. I'll be starting with the rating to do the flat pass for the primary layering for our center. And this is how we'll be creating the flat pass. In here, we have got gradient or you can say graded was a gradient is a smooth pndson from dark to light from one colour to another or both. Here I'm using only a single colour to create this gradient or you can say graded was. For our projects, we'll be using this grad along with a darker side of the maroon or brown to create a kind of gradient to depict the sados as well as a little bit of highlight. In here, I'm using the skin tone to do a flat vase for the centaspz. In here, I'll be showing you how we'll be using a little bit of weight ton weight technique to do the coloring. A flat vase with a skin tone for the space of the center. And then on top of this, we'll be adding a little bit of ocher. So it will blend on its own. In here, I'm going with a bit of ocher, a bit thicker consistency of the ocher and primarily adding it on for the regions where I'll be making the face a little bit more darker. So just below the centa has a little bit of the centas moustache and two strokes for the centers I. This will blend a little bit sone. But to make this process a little bit more smoother, in here, I'm using a little bit of water to blend the colors together. We will wait for it to dry a little bit and then add the coloring or detailing on top of it. So this is how we'll be doing some of the section for the cantas piece, as well as for Santa's meand and some part of the Santas costume, the Samurai Center. Now let me show you how we'll be creating the beard and the moustache for the center. In here, I'm using a bit thicker consistency of the gray to create the outline for the centas mousta. Later on, we'll be doing a little bit of radiant creation in here. But for now, let's move on to the Centas mean using the thicker consistency of the gray and now going with the water to create a flat was. Spreading this gradient. And by spreading this, you can see a little bit of gradient creation, the upper region a bit darker and the lower region a bit lighter. In here, I'm using the same consistency of the grain to define the seep of the beard a little bit more. We'll wait for it to dry a little bit and then add a bit thicker consistency of the grad to do the outlining once again. I added a little bit more water in here, so I'm using the tissue paper and a dry brush to soak it up. You can also use the tissue paper directly. If you have not added that much color, you can use the tissue paper directly just like in here, spreading the colors a little bit for the centers moustache. Right now, I'm going with a bit thicker consistency of the gray and creating these kind of small strokes to create a little bit of appearance here for the centas beard. On top of the flat creating this kind of small strokes to make the beard look a little bit more denser and add more volume to the beard. This is how we'll be creating the centas beard. We'll be using a bit lighter tones of the grease and also using a little bit of white to make it a little bit more detailed. Now for the Santa's armor, after doing the flat with the ink, we will wait for it to dry, and when it dries, I'll be going with a bit darker tone of the red to create a little bit of sado In here, I'm spreading a little bit of this red with the ware to create a bit of darker region for the upper side. Let's see the second one. In here, I'm using brown. So this is one of the things you should avoid. Instead of using a bit darker side of the red, in here I directly jump with the fair and darker side, and to blend these two colors, it will be a little bit difficult, as you can clearly see the two colours are not blending that much. So this is something you should avoid. We'll be doing the coloring and layering. I'll be starting with the light, and then on top of it, I fill darker side of the red. And then finally, I'll be using the brown in here, just I sod. If you directly use the darker side of the color, then you'll have to faze problem like this. If you want to rectify this, you can add a little bit more red and do another blending in here. Till it dries, let's do the third one. I am using darker side of the pink to do the blending. Until now, it's wet on dry and now. And now in here, I'm going with the water to blend the two colors together a little bit. It will blend on its own, as the intensity of the two colors are not that different. In here, I'm using amu Jew mixed with a little bit of ocher. So in here, I'm using a medium consistency of this color. We will wait for it to dry and then on top of it, we'll be going with the ocher, a bit higher consistency of the ocher to create the designs in the pattern that we'll be using for our Santa Samurai till it dries in here. Once again, I'm using this bit concentrated watercolor. Another flat as with the red. So here I'll be showing you how I'll be doing the coloring for the late armors, as well as adding patterns and design on top of it. For this too, we'll be waiting for it to dry. And then when it dries, we'll be adding layers of colours on top of it and create texture as well as a little bit of pattern. This flat was has already dried. In here, I'm doing a little bit of outlining with this brown. Here I'll be showing you how I'll be clearing the gauntlet for the Samurai centers and. For the gauntlets and the gloves, I'll be either starting with the ocher or Camboc or a bit lighter sad of the yellow. And on top of it, we'll be adding ocher and finally, we'll be going with a brown to add details and create this kind of divisions. This is just a simple demonstration for our main project, we'll be making it a little bit more detail and also create a little bit of gradient. We'll be creating the gauntlet in this manner. And this is how we'll be creating a little bit of gradient. On top of this ocher, I added a little bit of this brown, and in here, I'm going with the water to blend the colors together a little bit, using the water to blend the colors by spreading the brown and overlaying this on top of the entire section. We want to wait for it to dry, will blend on its own and we lose a little bit of intensity. Let me show you how we creating the fur texture. I'll be using rays mixed with a little bit of white and create this kind of small strokes to create the fur texture. This is one of the way in which I'll be creating it. I'll also be doing a little bit of blending of the colors with the water. If you want, you can make it a little bit more darker using a bit darker intensity of the grease. Here's another one in here. I'll be keeping it a bit lighter. I'll be doing a flat vs for the insides with the water and spread the colors. Small strokes on one side, small strokes on the lower side. If you want, you can also do a little bit of flat pass to blend the colors a little bit, like in here, add it for the upper section. So this is just a simpler way in which we'll be creating it. So as you can clearly see how we created the fur in here. Now let me show you how we'll be creating the cenas thighs, and thug. So I'll be starting with the red. I'll be starting with the red and creating this kind of small strokes for the entire region of the cents cenas thigh, sin, and the foot. Small and random strows following the contour of the canta speed. We will wait for it to dry and then add another layer of the coloring on top of it until it dries in here. As I mentioned, we'll be rectifying this using a darker side of the d to blend it once again for this one. If you added more water, you can use the tissue paper to soak it up. And in here, as I was mentioning, I'll be showing you how I'll be doing the coloring for the plate armor. We started with a flat for. Now, in here, I'm using a darker tone of the red, not brown but red. And in here we are spreading the color a little bit to blend with the remaining section. As you can clearly see the regions where we added more red has become a little bit darker. So that's what we were aiming for. But the regions just below the outlined secon we'll be adding more reds and brown to make that region a little bit darker too so that there is cado casted in there. We'll wait for it to dry until it dries leads to another layering of coloring for the cena spot. In here, this is just a rough demonstration. And right now I'm using a bit darker intensity of the ocher to overlay it on top of the red not covering the entire sexon as you can see. Okay. Redefining the outline for the Santas food. The goal here is to so that a little bit of reds would be visible. The goal in here is to so that a little bit of reds would be visible, also the ocher but we'll be mostly covering it with the darker sets of the brown to give it a bit darker coloring. I waited a little bit for it to dry, and it has dried up. Now in here, I'm using a darker tone of the brown. This is the final layering of the coloring with the brown, so a little bit of the rain as well as the ocher would be visible, and the remaining section will be covered with this brown. And to increase the intensity of the red a little bit, we'll be doing another flat as when this brown dries up. This is just a rough demonstration for our main project, we'll be adding more details, adding clothes wrapped around the Santa's foot. For now, let's continue with adding the lines on top of the reds and the ocho. Small and large strokes with a brush to create this kind of lines. Outlining the lower portion of the Santa's foot with this brown. And we will wait for it to dry a little bit and then add another layer of the red flat on top of it to increase the intensity of the red a little bit and to give the lag a little bit of red tone. So this color has dried up in here. If you want, you can do the third layering of the brown. We'll be doing it for our main project, but in here, I won't be doing it. But in here, I'll be showing you how you can create the different kind of pattern or texture on top of the armor plate. For one of the project, I'll be creating the patterns and the designs. Instead of doing this in this way, overlaying it on top of the water. I'll be starting with a fine liner to do the outlining and then add color on top of it. But instead of this, if you want, you can proceed in this way. Overlaying this brown and creating this kind of s. Now to create pattern. So in here, I'll be creating this kind of pattern. Instead of this, you can create any other kind of the patterns. And as you can see, I'm not making this uniform or straight. This is to just give it a little bit of more organic feel to the plate armor. This is to show that different gene mains are linked in here to create this kind of plate armor. If you want, you can create your own designs and pattern for the armor plates. And right now, I'll be showing you how I'll be creating this kind of pattern designs for the circular seams. So this has tried up the Cambou circular set that we created. And on top of this in here, I'm using a bit of cha to create the patterns in the design, starting with creating the outline. And I'll be creating simple shapes like this to create the emblem or a pattern or design. It's very simple say. On top of this, I'll also be using a little bit of brown to make it a little bit more bolder and to create a bit of shadows on the sides. But in here this time I'm showing you how different kind of designs I'll be creating. You don't have to create the same kind of designs that I am doing. Feel free to create your own patterns and design. This is just a simple demonstration for our main project we'll be making it a bit more detail and add more colors and characteristics to it. Let's create for like taxi for the upper part. This small brass strokes to create this kind of appearance. Come on. You can also use a little bit of white or gray to create some of the highlights or do so reflection. When the whole thing dries up, I'll be going back with the fine liner or the brosin to do the outline for some of the section. For some of the section, I'll be using uniform lines to create the outlining for others, I'll be creating a bit of broken lines, especially for the facial feature, I'll be doing uniform and straight lines to do the outlining for the eyes, nose, mouth, as well as the beard and the moustas a bit of checked line to create the outlines for the moustache and the beard. Here's another rough demonstration of how we'll be doing the outlining for the canta space. Tiny eyes. Triangle see for the Santa's nose and a bit larger moustache. A bit of this kind of lines to create a bit of bossy appearance for the moustache. And as I was mentioning, this has dried up. In here, I'm doing another flat fast with the red to give it a little bit more rediston to give it a little bit more rediston to the Santa's foot. This demonstration video is not turning out the way I expected. I made a little bit of mistake. But for our main project, we'll be making things correctly. And here, I'm using a little bit of lighter tone of the right to create blessing effect for the Santa space, semicircular C for the Santa's checks, and a little bit for the Santa's nose. Now let me show you how we creating the gauntlet for the Santa's arm. We'll be dividing different section. The gauntlet color that I showed you with orchards and the browns. I won't be creating it in that manner. We'll be coloring it in that manner, but the outline will be like this. We'll be using sads of the yellows and orchards and a little bit of brown to do a little bit of gradient creation. Lastly, if required, we'll also be using a little bit of fine liner to do the final outlining. Bing sees a little bit curvier. Oh so this is how we'll be creating the gauntlet for the Santa's arm. How we'll be creating the cloth wrapping around the Santa's waist. Very simple and organic same for the clothes that will be wrapped around Santa's waist. We'll also be using this kind of clothe for the centa's lower half, for the centa's feet and the cantas leg. Now let me show you some of the patterns in the design you can use for the armor plates. Here's a simple scale life version. And then we have the kind of pattern that we created with the watercolor. Starting with a simple square sip and then creating this kind of design inside it. Different in males linked with each other. So here's third one, a little bit different from the first one. Just making the seats a little bit more larger, adding another on just below it. Instead of this feel free to experiment on your own and create different kinds of pattern and the design. Now, let me show you how I'll be doing the coloring for the folds of the centas cloth. And here, I'm using a bit higher consistency of the d and discreting this kind of small and broken lines, the upper section in a bit darker than the lower section in a bit lighter. So this is how we'll be doing the coloring for the folds on the cloth, as you can see. It will be a little bit more defined, and we'll be using two or three sets of the color to create the fold. And with these, we are done with this demonstration video. If you're ning questions, you can ask me in the discussion section, and I'll see you in the next video we'll be doing the coloring for our center, starting with the flat. 8. Flatwash with ink: Welcome to the third part. In here, we'll be doing the first laying of the color. For the flat vase in here, I'm using this red ink. I'm using the red ink instead of using the gauze or watercolor since it will provide me with a uniform consistency. Using this red ink as the primary layering and doing a flat vase with this. You can use the water color or case to do the primary layering. But since I had the ink, so I decided to use this. I'll be covering all the sex in which I'll be adding the red. The ink that I am using in here is not waterproof. So when we'll be doing the layering on top of it, it will mix with the other colors. If you are using waterproof ink, then it would be a little bit challenging to do the blending later on. Then I would advise you to use watercolor or gauze, preferably watercolor thelen since the blending with the watercolor will be much more easy. Moving onto the other side. For the scrolls in the background, I won't be using the red. I'll be using the red for the top of the centas hand for the middle section and cenatema both of its hand and the two armor plates just below the centas waist. Carefully doing the coloring for this section, carefully doing the outlining, and then let's fill the entire section with this red. Apart from this, I'll also be using burned scanner to do the first layering for the designs and the pattern that we'll be doing. For now, let's continue with doing the flat pass for the upper half of the centas body. H you have to bit caucus while doing the outlining small regions. In here, carefully outlining the Santa's hand and the catana and then we'll be filling the entire region with the red. After this rise, we'll be doing two or three layers of the coloring to create somewhat of gradient as well as a little bit of seeding for the Santa's body. I'll be adding a bit darker tone of the red and a little bit of brown just below the regions where I want to smooth the sas. And with these, we are done with the upper half. Let's do the coloring for the remaining section. Carefully doing the outlining and then we'll be filling the entire section with the red. Instead of this red if you want, you can use any other colour that will be interesting too. You can use the blue, you can use yellows and green too. That will be interesting. So we'll have green, blue and orange or yellow centers. For the knot that we have created in here, we'll be using combinations of yellows and char to do the coloring, carefully filling the color for this armor plate. Going over the outline for the lower section and then we'll be filling the remaining section with the red. Most of the video in this class is in real time, so you can always follow along with me. Put some of the repetitive process or the process that is going to take a lot of time. I have speeded that process or I have not included that section. Those are some small and minute things that you can do on your own. Now, moving on to the lower half, the last armor plate in here. Carefully filling the entire section with this. After this, I'll also be adding a little bit of red for the Santa sling. And with this, we are almost done with the armor plates. Now for the red for the cantasling some small and large strokes of the red. And we'll be adding colours on top of it later on, but for now, just small and large streaks like this. For all the different section of the santas ling, I'll be adding these red lines. We'll be covering most of it. Some of the red will be visible, but most of them will be covered by the other colors. Add the color in for the Santa's hat. You'll have to at causes since we have to add color in between the small lines. If you want, you can also use the red to colour the gauntlet and the gloves of the center and also for the catana with this we are done with a flatwash with this red ink for the entire center's body. Right now, in here, I'm using burnt sienna. For the chest and for the lower armor plate, I'll be using this. Here, I'm using a bit thicker consistency of the color. Apart from the circular saves that I have created, I will be filling the entire section with this burnt sienna. You'll have to carefully outline the circular. You have to carefully outline the circular seeds and then fill the remaining section with this burnt sienna. Instead of this color combination, if you want, you can use other color combinations, too. I'm using this burnt sienna to do the coloring in here to so that it's made of lather. Carefully filling this for the small section. For the rings on the centas beard, I'll be using a little bit of yellow and a little bit of orchard to do the coloring. Now let's move on to the other side. In here, too, carefully filling the entire section with this, outlining the circular saves that we created. And as you can see for the boundaries and the outlines that we created earlier with the two lines, I have not added the burnt sienna for it. We'll be using lighter sets of the colour to do the coloring later on. I'll also be using this burnt sienna for the centasqtlet and the emblems that we have created. And with these, we are done with the chist now. Let's do the coloring for the armor plate and the emblems that we created for the center. Ensure that the consistency of the color remains the same. If you will use lighted set, then the intensity will decrease a little bit, so you'll have to do two or three layerings of the color. Now for the Santa gauntlet, leave a little bit of white space in between, the same kind of done in the earlier video. We'll be doing the same thing for the other hand. And in here, I'll be using lighter sets of the yellow or Cu gone to fill the white sections. If you're not that confident, you can use the pencil to do the outlining or you can use the fine line to do the outlining and then fill the rest of the space with the Manciena. Create small strokes with the breast to create the kind of lines and leave a little bit of white space in between. Slowly and carefully creating these lines for the sand. For the cantas gloved hand. In here, too, let's add a little bit for the middle section. Moving on to Santas gloved hand, doing the outline with this and a little bit for the inside too, square C. Instead of this, if you want, you can cover the entire section with the brown. In here, I'll be using a little bit of yellow or camo for the center for the remaining part of Santa's glove. And with this, we are done with both the hand. Now moving on to the Santa's t. Here, too, we'll be using two or three color combinations, burned Siena, and then a little bit of yellow or camo jiu creating small strips throughout the entire region and leaving a little bit of space in between. You'll have to wet courses and careful while adding it near the Katana and the gloved hand. Later on we'll be using a bit darker side of the red and the brown to create a clear distinction between the Santas, and the Katana and the waist cloth. Adding a little bit of brown for the knot. And yeah, with this, we are done with the upper half with this burnt sienna. I'll be using a little bit for the lower section too. Now let's add the brown for the lower half of the armor plate. In here, I'll be creating the same kind of pattern or design that we did for the upper part, the chiste. Carefully filling these regions with this burned sienna. You can do the outlining first and then fill the entire region with this burnt sienna. Or instead of this, if you want, you can do the same coloring, use green and the white to create for, like, appearance or texture. In here, I forgot to add the burned sienna for the Santa's thumb. Now continuing on. Finally, let's add the born sienna for the last one. And with these, we are done with the born sienna. Moving on to the leg. I'll be surrounding the read as well as overling a little bit of born sienna for some of those sections. Doing the outlining and then covering some of the red with this burned sienna. Insure that the consistency of the burned sienna remains the same. Instead of using this color combination, if you want, you can use other color combinations. In the demonstration video, I was not able to create this kind of lag, but this is how we'll be doing it. This is the second layering of the color on top of this. We'll also be adding a little bit of darker sets to create a little bit more clear distinction to depict a bitter sados as well as a bit of reflection. For all the sections, we'll be doing the same thing, filling the burned Siena, as well as overlaying this burnt sienna a little bit on the red, as well as surrounding some of the reds. We'll have to be a bit cautious and careful since we have to fill the small regions with the burned sienna. Be precise, and let's continue doing the same thing. If you want to extend the side of the leg a little bit, you can do that. So we are done with the upper part. With this, we are done with the upper part. Now let's do the coloring for the remaining section of the Santa spit. If it is a little bit difficult, you can just completely fill the entire section with this brown, and then later on, you can use if you're using gauze, you can use the red and overlay it on top of it a bit darker and thicker consistency of the red. You can just completely cover the entire section with the brown to create brownileks for our Santa. Leaving a little bit of red to be visible. Going over the outline. Doing the same thing for this. Going over the outline region and then feeling this burned Siena. And with this, we are done with the burned Siena for both of the center's leg. I'll also be using a little bit of burned Siena for the centers helmet for both upper and the lower regions of the centas helmet. I'll be adding a little bit of it. Burn Siena for the upper and the lower region for the centers helmet. Going over the outline for this region, making it a little bit more distinct and a bit more clear. Ding it for the cantas armpit in here too. You can use this to make some of the regions a little bit more clear to clarify the outlines a little bit more. Later on, I'll be using the browns and burns hanna to create the folding to make the foldings of the clothing a little bit more clear and a bit more prominent. I'll be adding less burn sienna for the regions where I want to sew shadows. In here, I'll be creating a little bit of sados. Moving on to the lower half of this armor plate. In here, too, we'll be creating a little bit of sados a little bit just below this belt. So you've got the rough idea of what I mean to see. Add the McNM wherever you think that region will be a bit darker or there will be shadows. And with these, we are done with this video. I'll see you in the next video when we adding more coloring and detailing. 9. Coloring the reindeer general: Let's continue where we left off. I waited for the colour to dry. It has dried up. Now, in here, we'll be creating sados and add a little bit of more dimension to the painting. In here, I'm using the red watercolor, a bit concentrated watercolor and adding it just below the regions where there will be shadows. Mostly, I'll be adding it near the outlined regions and the regions where there will be folds in the cloth or there are chances where the sados will be casted. So yeah, let's continue with this red. In here, we are just overlaying this on top of the ink that we used. Oh we'll be just overlaying this color on top of the ink and then later on, using a little bit of water to blend the two colors to create a smooth gradient. Adding it just below this lower region of the katana. Now in here, I'm going with the water to blend this color a little bit, using this water to blend the colors. And as you can see, it is blending smoothly with the ink that we used earlier as well as creating a bit of gradient. When rise up, you can clearly see the difference. The regions where we added this bit darker side of the red will be a bit darker and the remaining region will be a bit lighter. It this is the second layering of the red. On top of this, I'll also be adding a third layering with a bit darker tone of the red or maroon. Phone let's continue with this red. If you want, you can also mix a little bit of burned sienna with this red to get a little bit of darker side of the red. In here, I mixed a little bit of burned sienna with this red, and now let's do a little bit more coloring. In here, I'm adding it just above the cenas was smaller strokes with the brass, a little bit carefully near the catana. Now, once again, going with the water to blend it with the remaining section. You have got the rough idea what we are doing, and yeah, let's continue with the remaining section. A little bit just above the outline section or where there are different colors. Add a little bit of this color, a bit of darker side of the red, mixed with a little bit of MurcianaO you can just use simple in. And then we will do a little bit of blending of the colors with the water. Adding it just below the armor plate. Once again, going in with the water, doom blend the two colors a little bit of water. If you want, you can cover the entire section with it, but only spreading this color a little bit. You can clearly see the difference just by adding this little bit of red to create a little bit of sados and a little bit of gredent. The upper part looks more vibrant as compared to the lower sun. The upper part look more vibrant as compared to the remaining section. Going in with the water to blend this color. Let's do the same thing for the Santa's helmet, adding a small streak of this red on the sides of the lines we created. In here, I'm not using water since we have very small space. I'm overlaying this red on top of the earlier red that we used, just covering the red that we have, as well as overlaying a little bit of red on top of the burn Sienna we used earlier. It won't affect the burn Siena since the intensity of the burn Sienna is much higher, but it will make the legs of cantas a little bit more radius. We will wait for it to dry until it dries. Let's do the coloring for the gift parcels we have. You can use colors US I'll also be doing a little bit of gradient creation by blending two colors. For this first one in here, I'm using light blue. For now, let's continue with the blue. I'll also be using blue for one of the scrolls, right now, adding blue for this small parcel that is visible in here. On top of this blue, I'll be going with a bit darker to of the blue to do a little bit of blending later on for now, moving on to the one of the scroll. As I mentioned earlier, if you don't want, you don't have to add this gift parcel or the scrolls. You can create only the reindeer General, the SamRI Santa. So this is going to take a little bit of time. Instead of doing the coloring for the scrolls and the gift parcel, in here, I'm going to use Camboj for some of the section. Let me show you where I'll be adding this Cambo. Here I'm using a bit thicker consistency of the Camboj. I'll be filling it I'll be filling it for the circular and the semicircular seeps that we created. So this is going to take a little bit of time. Let me show you where I'll be adding it, and I'll add it on my own. So this is how it turned out. I added this Camuji for the chest area for the emblems on both the soldier plate. I also added for the gauntlet in hand, a little bit for the Samurai katana, and then a little bit of this for the waist bend. I also added a little bit of this for the gift parcel and the scrolls. Let's do the remaining section. This time in here, I'm using a bit concentrated form of this hooker. I'll be creating this kind of designs or you can say pattern for the circular seats. Instead of this, if you want, you can create your own designs pattern. You can also use brighter colors like red, blue greens to create gems imdate on the circular seeps. But I'll be creating this kind of simpler saps, simple pattern or designs for all the emblems for all the circular saves that I have created. Thank you. You'll have to be a bit cautious and careful to do the outlining or create the stecture or design. Instead of this, if you want, you can use the file and do the outlining to create the different kind of patterns or design. Use a bigger consistency of the color so that it will be clearly visible. Now in here, I decided to add a little bit of pattern or design for the scroll, this Calois scroll. You don't have to do this or if you want to you can create any other kind of designs or pattern. Let's add this car for the Santa solar plates. The same kind of designs that we created for the chest region. Now let's move on to the lower section. In here too. We'll be creating the same kind of design that In here two, I'll be creating the same kind of design that I saw you in the earlier video. In here, if you want to use other color combination, you can do that, or you can just leave it as it is. Creating this simple design for all the circular shape that we have in here. Later on, I'll be going with the darker side of the brown to do another layering of color on top of this beside it. And with this, we are done with this section, adding in a little bit of this ocher to do the outlining for the upper and the lower region. If you want, you can use this ocher to do the coloring for some of the clothes that we have for the Santa speed. I'm doing this. And with this, we are done with cher. Now I'll be using the brown. In here, I'm using brown. Let's let's make the distinction a bit more clear. Adding a little bit of brown for the Santa sand. Now here, let's completely feel this upper and the lower region. So I'm using this grand to create a clear and prominent distinction between different section of the Santa's body. The regions where there are a lot of burnt sienna and a lot of red and the distinction is not that much clear. I'll be using this. In here, let's make this a little bit more clear. For the upper and the lower regions, I'm using this brown. Later on, we'll be doing a little bit of planting. Let me so what I mean. Using this to create a little bit of outline near the circular seeds that we have in here. You'll have to be a bit cautious and careful and create small strokes to do the outlining in here. This is often if you don't want, you don't have to do this. Adding for this edge. And yeah, with this, we are done with this lower section. Now moving on to the waist band in here. I'll be overlaying this on top of the burned sienna that we used earlier and create a clear distinction between some of the sections. We'll be doing a little bit of outlining and a little bit for the insides too. Covering both the yellow and the burned Siena or the ocher that we used earlier. Extending the sides a little bit. Seed consistency of the color remains thin, a bit thicker consistency of this brown to do the coloring. Making this region a little bit more darker to sort at the cado casted by the katana has made this region a bit more darker. Let's add a little bit of brown for the second knot we have in here. Adding a little bit of brown for the sides of the knot. Now, for this cento, creating a little bit of broken lines with the brown. Doing the same thing for this lower section. Now let's do the coloring for the remaining section. In here, I'm using a bit thicker consistency of the gray for the antlers. We'll be using a little bit of fat spread it later on and add a little bit of white. For now, let's use this gray. Now in here, I'm going with the white to spread it. This will create a little bit of gradient. The sides of the antler will be a bit darker inside and the remaining section will bit lighter. Let's spread the color a little bit. Is that the color does not come out from the outline. Is that the color remains inside the outline regions. Now, let's create for texture, small strokes with brown. If you want, you can do a flat vase and then add another layer of grease on top of it. This small and tiny strokes, let's do the same thing for the cena. Right hand, inserting the outline regions and then adding small strokes with the gray. Here I decided to do a flight v first and then add another layer of coloring on top of it. And we will wait for it to dry a little bit and then add another layer on top of it. Let's do the coloring for the entas Mustas and the Band. In here, I'm using a bit thicker consistency of the gray. This is a little bit lighter and sad as compared to the one we used for the antlers. Here two, we'll be doing both the flat base and a little bit of blending with the water. As you can see the Mustas I added only a little bit of this for the upper region, we'll be doing the same thing for the cenas B two for some of the sections and then we'll be going in with the water to blend the color. In here, I'm using water to spread the color. Treading the gray that we just use with the water to create some up graded flat for. So as you can see the region, the middle region of the centers be it a bit lighter as well as the lower half of the cenas most. When this dries a little bit, we'll be adding another layer of the gray on top of it. Will it rise, lets to the remaining section. Here, once again, I'm using a bit thicker consistency of the gray. I'll be spreading it a little bit in here, once again, going with the water to spread the color. Here, by mistake, I added a lot of gray. So using tissue paper to soak it up, you can also use the dry breast to soak the color. Spread the colour with the water to create somewhat to create somewhat of graded platas adding this for the clothes on the Santa sweet. A little bit of grey will do the work. Tell it, let's do the coloring for the gift parcels that we have in here. I'll be using some simple light color and do a little bit of seeding and do a little bit of flat pass for this. Since this is not that much important in here, I've increased the speed you want to follow along with you can just reduce the speed or you can pause the video. Earlier, I already colored some of the gift parcels, and right now I'm using a darker tone of the blue to do a little bit of gradient creation in between the lighter and the darker side. I'll be doing the same things for the other sets of the color, a bit darker side of the yellow for the yellow colored parcel, a bit of red or orange for the red or orange colored parcel. I'll also be trying to create a little bit of pattern or designing, coloring the ribbons and add more details wherever I think it's required. Here I'm using the tissue paper to soak the excess water, otherwise, it will spread. I'll also be coloring the katana and adding a little bit more detailings wherever it's required. Here, I'm going in with lighter consistency of the grade to make the bead and the mousts a little bit more detail. So using this lighter consistency of the grade to create more strokes on top of the flatwash that we used earlier to add more volume to the cantas beard, its mosas and the here line, here I'm using sap green to do the coloring for the small leaves that we created. And for this one, I'm using a sap green to blend it with a yellow parcel that we have in here. Using brown to add the coloring for the brands that we have in here. We'll be continuing with adding a little bit more coloring, adding more details, or do a little bit of sading for the gifts and the parcels that we have in here and the scrolls. And with these we add with this do. I'll see you in the next one. 10. Final detailings: Let's continue where we left off. So this whole video is in real time. Let's start with doing the coloring for the canta spheze. In here, I'm using a bit thicker consistency of the skin tone to do the coloring for the canta spheze. Right now, I'm using water to spread the color a little bit, adding it for the cantas ear too, since I used a little bit more skin tone. So using this tissue paper to soak that color up a little bit. Now, a little bit of ochre for the regions just below the centashat and a little bit below the centas eyebrow and a little bit just above the centasmstas. Oh skin tone to do the coloring for the Santa fingers, the four fingers that are visible in here. In this video, we'll be adding the final detailings covering some of the mistings as well as adding more shadows, more highlights wherever it's required. In here for the Santa Katana, create any kind of design pattern, texture, as you see fit. In here, I'm using Oka to create a little bit of design. You don't have to use the same color combination or design pattern that I'm doing here. My katana did not turn out to the VI home. Now, in here, once again, I'm using a little bit of ker for some of the cloth wrappings that we have for the Santa spade. For the Santas gloves, adding a little bit of ochre. Now, let's do the coloring for the other section. Right now, in here, I'm using a little bit of red to create Rosi sticks for our cana. The skin color that we use was not dried up, so using the drybrus to spread the colour to blend it with the remaining skin color, a little bit of red for the Santas here. Now let's do the coloring for this side, the side of the Santa's helmet, a little bit of char color, and for the white lines that we have in here. Here too, I'm using this ched to completely fill this entire region with it. Instead of this, if you want, you can use other color combination. You can also use gray or white. With this with the upper side. Let's add a little bit more characteristic to the face, a little bit more ochre making these rings a little bit more darker with the ocher for the upper regions. Now in here, I'm using this burnt sienna mixed with a little bit of brown to create this kind of simple lines. Completely filling this entire region with this simple line. If you don't want, you can just leave it as it is, but I decided to add a little bit of texture pattern for the side. Small simple straight lines. Add a little bit of coloring for this emblem. This side of the armor plate that we have in here, I forgot to add the coloring for it. So once again, I'm using Oka to add the coloring for here. In here, I'm using a little bit of darker side of the brown to make the outline of this katana a little bit more clear and a bit more distinct since this was not that much clear to create a clear distinction between a different part of the katanas and the hand that is holding it. Adding a little bit of coloring for the gift parcel we have in here. Saves we have created, you can use any color combinations as you see fit. For the scrolls in here, I'm using a little bit of red to do the coloring to make the outlines a little bit more to make the outlines a little bit more distinct and a bit more clear. Let's do the coloring for the side of the parcel. For the ribbons of this gift parcel, I'm using blue. For this one, I'm using yellow. In here, I'm just randomly using the colour to do the coloring for the gift parses and the scrolls. We will wait for it to dry. Till it dries in here, I decided to use a little bit of white to make the distinction a bit more clear to add a little bit of highlight for the katana. The cantana that I created did not turn out the way I expected. I made a little bit of mistakes with the coloring, and I should have made it a little bit more distinct, a bit more clear and used a bit lighter shades of the coloring for it. Using this white to make the moustache a little bit more lighter and sin, adding small dots for the center side with this. When the water color dries, we're moving back with the bras pin to make the outlines a bit more clear and distinct. Sides of the cenas and using a bit thicker consistency with the white and yeah, adding small strokes with the white to create a clear distinction. To add a little bit of highlight in here, too, for the centa helmet on one side of the achar adding a little bit of small strokes of the white. For this gift parcel, I decided to create this small circular seams. And it is not looking that good. Later on, I'll be covering it with the black. Now, add more white wherever you think it's required. And I waited it for to dry. And right now in here, I am using the as paint to do the outlining. We'll be making the distinction a bit more clear. The regions that are covered by the gauze are two or three layers of the coloring has become a little bit duller. So using the breast paint to do the outlining, you'll have to be patient and slowly do the outlining. Since we have used a lot of layering of the colors, your breastbin might not work. You can also use the black watercolor to do the outlining. Let's try to salvage this cutana making a little bit more distinct bit more outlined, going over the outline for the centers finger. In here, I'll be adding more details, more outlining with the breastpan. Feel free to do the outlining in your own way. And if there is no requirement for the outlining in your case, you don't have to do this. Using a little bit of red gelpen to do the outlining for the ribbons that we have in here. I decided to use the gel pen since if I used watercolor, it would have take a little bit more time. So I decided to use the gel pen to do the outlining. Once again, going back with the bras pin to make the outlines a bit more prominent, a bit more clearer. Since this is going to take a little bit of time, I decided to increase this SP. If you want to follow along with me, you can reduce the speed or you can pause the video. Let's make the centas foreach a bit more clear and a bit more defined, outlining the sentas eyebrows, eyes, and the nose, making the Santas helmet a little bit more detail. So going over the outline and, yeah, with these, we are done with our first Centas project. Reindeer General, I hope you enjoyed this painting. I had a lot of fun painting this. I made a little bit of mistake with the Centaskatana. But overall, this project turned out pretty well, and I'll see you in the next project. 11. Santa of the red armor pencil sketch: Welcome to the second project, Santa of the Red Armor Order. I have divided this project into four different sections. This is the first one. In here, we'll be doing this sketching. Pencil sketching for our samuri Santa. Here I've already started with a straight line for the length of the center. And now let's divide this into different sections. In here, I'll be dividing into eight different sections. This will be a little bit more detail. Divide it into eight equal sections. Now we will be doing the outlining for the different section. In between this first and the second, I'll be creating the outline for the centaspes. The upper section will be for the centasphas. Now let's create the outline for the cents middle section. In here, I'm creating a bit large circular C. This large circle will occupy both the center's stomach as well as the upper part of the cena's thigh, or you can see upper part of the cena's leg. Create this kind of circular sep for the centaspez. So this will be the centa spuezO top of it. We'll be creating the outline for the cap later on. Let's add a little bit more detail for this circular sap. In here, we'll be creating the save for the cenas beard. The centa suze won't be this much broader. We'll be making a little bit more adjustment and linking the sap a little bit. This is just a rough outline for the centas stomach, as well as the upper part of the centa's leg. Sketching out a rough guideline for the Santa's beard. In here, I'll be making this kind of laffer beard. If you want, you can make the beard a bit more conical like the last project. Now let's sketch out the guideline for the centastoach. This middle person will be the Centas waistline. In here, we'll be creating. In here, we'll be sketching out the guideline for the Santas cloth that will be wrapped around that will be wrapped around Santa's waist. For this center, we'll be creating different armor plate of different sizes and different designs. This are just a rough outline. Feel free to make adjustment and changes as you see fit. I'll be creating this kind of large rectangular steel, a little bit curve at the bottom. This will be presenting the centas armor plate. We'll be adding more later on. But for now, let's do the rough outline for the cenas arm. So this will be the armor plate for the center soldier. If you want, you can create the same kind of seep we used for the other center. You can also create embelem on top of this. But for this center, we'll be using the fine liner to do that. But for this center, we'll be creating different kind of armor and different kind of seeps in the design. This will be the middle portion of the centers arm. And now let's do the remaining section. The outline for the remaining section for the centers arm, creating another kind of cylindrical C for the centers forearm. Now, let's create the cenas palm. The forefinger of this hand will be visible, the four fingers of the right hand, creating another armor plate just beside it. Do the outlining for the second hand. Let's do the outlining for the center's left hand. For this end, most of it will be covered by the center systemer. Only a small portion of its hand will be visible. So these are the outlines for the centas armor plate for the center soldier, outline for the center's forearm, and a small section of Centas palm will be visible in here. I'll be adding the katanas later on now. For now, let's extend the armor plate a little bit with different kind of design like this a bit curvier armor plate for the bottom section. In here, I will be creating the fur like texture. Instead of using the whites or the grease in here, we'll be using golden colours. Let's create one more armor plate for the middle section, doing the outlining for it. Two or three ribbons like clothes in here. Primarily for the center, we'll be using reds, Cam use a little bit of ochre and brown, a little bit of black. So a total of four or five colored to do the coloring for the center. Creating the outline for the centers feet. So this will be the upper section, the center's thigh. And now let's do the remaining section. In here, too, we'll be creating the plate armor for the center's lower leg. We'll be creating a little bit different kind of lake for the center suite. If you want, you can create the same kind of designs that wedded for our first project. But here, I decided to keep things a little bit simpler. Moving on to the cena side, doing the outline for the Centasca. So this is just a pencil outlining. Now let's create the outline for the bag of gifts. Our cena is carrying this large bag, and it's full of gift and parcels. And I'll see you in the next video were using the fine liner or the breastpin do the outlining 12. Outling the samurai santa: Let's continue where we left off for the center of the red armor order. In here, we'll be doing the outlining. Right now, I'm using the brastpin to do the outlining. You can use fine line and Bast pin or whatever you have. You can also use hail pin, ballpoint pin, bras pin. Just ensure that the color that you are using to do the outlining is waterproof. This is going to take a little bit of time since apart from going over the outlines, we'll also be adding a little bit more additional details. And for some of the section, I'll be increasing the speed, the section that will be repetitive. And for those section where I'll be increasing the speed, I'll be mentioning it. So if you want to follow along with me, you can just pause the video or you can reduce the speed. For now, let's do the outlining for the centaspix creating small ears for the center. For the center spes, we'll be using the same color combination, skin tone, a little bit of red for the rosy cheeks for the center. As for the beard, we'll be giving a little bit of pinky hue. Apart from the gray, we'll also be using a little bit of red to create pinky hue for the centers beard, cenas usa top section of the cenas heat, and as well as for the furry texture for some of the section of the armor plate. Going over the outline for the armor plate for the Santa soldier. In here, we'll be creating the kind of pattern that we practice, starting with creating this kind of a bit broken lines, and then we'll be creating a bit of large triangular sap Simple kind of outlining to create a little bit more texture and pattern for the Santas armor plate. Instead of this, if you want to create a bit more detailed patterns and design, feel free to do that. Creating the outline for the centas album. For this region, we'll be using a bit darker colour to make it a little bit more darker. Doing the outline for the centasGntletd hand. In here, we'll be creating the same kind of design, a little bit same kind of design like we did for our first project, doing the outline for the canta spam. Here, too, I'll be starting with the red ink to do the flat and then add two or three layers of the bit darker tone of the red or a little bit of brown to create a little bit of seeding for the different sections. Creating four fingers for the sand. Now moving back to the centers armor plate in here and creating this kind of design. So a little bit larger rectangular sieves. Instead of one lines, I'm just adding two lines to give it a little bit more characteristic. Simple lines to create simple design. You can create other kinds of designs. Apart from the simpler design, I'll also be using two different kind of design for the lower section for the armor plates. For this video, apart from doing the outlining, I'll also be doing a little bit of coloring. I'll be using a little bit of golden brass paint to do the coloring for some of the armor print and a little bit of the black for some of the shadowy reasons. Moving onto the other side and creating outline for this, a cloth wrapped around Centas chast. So this will be tied to the back behind the centas back. In here, I used bit of broken lines to create the outlining. Later on, we'll be making the outlines a bit more bolder and more detailed. A pouch attached to the centas waistband. Let's do the outlining for the upper part of this. We will be adding a little bit more detailing later on. For now, let's continue with the remaining section. In here, the upper section of the back, that is a little bit open. Here, I'll be adding few plants, small stems, and a few branches. If you want, you can create the outlines for some gifts or parcel or you can create the outlines for the scrolls like we did for our last project. Moving on to the other side and creating the outlines for the centas armor plate on this Only a small section of its armor plate on this left hand will be visible. Here, I'll be creating a little bit more detailed armor plate. I'll be adding the same kind of design as for the lower armor plate. Moving on to the center's stomach and creating the knot, the clothes tied around the center's waist. Let's make it a little bit more detailed as compared to the first project we did. Adding few more lines to give it a little bit more texture. Now, let's do the outlining for the remaining section. For the section, you are not that confident, start with a bit of broken lines and then add more detailings to it. We'll be using Camboj a little bit of white to add the coloring for it. Now moving on to creating the outlines for the armor plate just below the center's waist. In here, I'll be creating six to eight armor plate of two different varieties. Near the center waistline, I'll be creating a bit smaller armor plate, and as we move away from it, I'll be making the armor plate a bit more larger and a little bit more curvier. The armor plates near the center suite are a little bit rectangular s. But in here, as you can see, I'm making them a little bit more curvier. And for the bottom section in here, we'll be using and creating a little bit of fur like texture, creating the outline for the armor plates on the other side. Let's do the outlining for the larger armor plate in here. Here too, we'll be creating a little bit of pattern and designing. For now, let's do the outline to create a little bit of separation for different armor plates. Getting one more armal plate in the middle section. One more armor plate on this side. Now let's do the outline for the large back that the Santa is carrying. Adding outline for another back. So centers is carrying two armor plate. Moving back to the centers left hand. Let's do the outlining for the remaining section. Only a small portion of this hand is visible. I'll be doing the outlining for the cenas katana later on. Create outline for the ribbon like cloth hanging from the armor plate. Create one more in here. Now, going over the outline for the center's leg. Making the upper part of the centa ling a little bit fluffier. Now for the remaining section of the centas foot. Going over the outlines that we created with a pencil. And now let's add a little bit of souls to the centas feet. Moving back to the centa stomach in here, I'll be creating the pattern that I was talking about by simple kind of pattern. So in here, I'll be creating somewhat of the same kind of pattern that we did for the Santa soldier pleat. A little bit different. For the middle section, we'll be making them a little bit curvier. Top and the bottom we'll be getting this kind of rectangular shapes, making the outlines a little bit more bolden with this kind of bit curvier lines. And that's for the middle section, a little bit of pointed edges for the middle section. Instead of this kind of pattern or design, you can keep it plain and simple like our last project, or you can create your own patterns and design. Continue on with this kind of design on the other side. Now, let's create simple rectangular see for the remaining section. Only a small portion of this is visible. The other is covered by the centers wise cloth. With this, we are done with the stomach and the right soldier. Let's do the same thing for the left soldier. The same kind of design equidt for the right soldier. No put the Santas hand in here. I'll be creating the same kind of simple designs that we use for our last project, plain simple lines, doing the same thing for this hand. So with this, we are done with the upper part, almost done with the upper part, we'll be adding the fecal feature later on. Designs for our armel plate in here, starting with the broken lines to divide it into different horizontal sections, doing the same thing for this one. For the top three armor plate that I created in here, I'll be creating the same kind of design that I showed you in the demonstration video. Cutting dividing this into different rectangular sieves. And then we'll be creating a little bit of conkep C for the bottom sections. Doing the same thing for this arma glt using two lines to divide it into different rectangular saves. Apart from this two armor plates, I'll be doing the same thing for one of the larger armor plate just beside the right armor plate. For now, let's create this kind of conceb seats for the bottom section. The same kind of design that I showed you in the demonstration video. Moving on to this one, doing the same thing, two lines to create this kind of curvier s for the bottom section. And yeah, with this, we are done with a simple C and pattern for this one. We'll be creating the same kind of pattern and design for this one, too, starting with the two straight lines to divide into different particle sections. The other armor plates, we'll be creating the steel pattern and designing, like I showed you in the demonstration video. Well now, let's divide into different sections. In here, I'm just creating this kind of carbre lines to make this division a little bit more easier. So these designs are somewhat sam to the other two that I was mentioning, but I decided to make it a little bit different. Overall, as you can see these are somewhat same, but for the upper section of this rectangular seams that we are creating, instead of the straight lines in here, I am making them a little bit curvial the same as the bottom section. Now moving on to the lower section, the clothes that are hanging in here. So just simple plain lines. We'll be using a little bit of darker side of the coloring to add a little bit more detailing for the folds. Moving on to the Santa's foot. In here, creating three or four lines to represent clothe wrapped around the Santa's foot, the armor plate in here, wrapped around with the clothes. Hitting some small ribbons in here. Hitting the outline for the centasFree. So our samoid centa in here is wearing sandals. Moving back to the top in here, let's create the outline for the plants that I was talking about. Very simple one or two stems visible with few leaves. Instead of this, as I was mentioning, you can create the outline for the gift, basil, scrolls or anything else. You can also do the outlining of the sorts and catanas in here. Moving on to the left side in here, creating small catanas two small catanas that are visible in here. Only a small section of the samurai katana is visible in here. Moving back to the centaspiece, let's create the facial feature, starting with the centas moustache. Here I decided to make the moustache a little bit smaller as compared to the first project. Now let's do the outlining for the cenas eyebrows and the simple eyes. Feel free to make changes in adjustment to the centaspas in the facial feature as you see fit. Now, let's make the centas bead a little bit more defined. So making the outline a little bit more distinct. Adding a few lines to give it a little bit more bossier effect, so a little bit more flafier effect with the lines. Making the outlines for the centas cap a little bit more detail. Instead of this simple cents cap, you can create armor like helmet or you can just create triangular C for the cents cap that will be interesting too. Now moving to the Santa's bag, creating this kind of small designs and pattern. So clothes wrapped around these small parcels and the bags that Santa is carrying for one of the armel plate in here, simple design, simple rectangular seams. Moving back to the other bag that Santa is carrying during the same time, creating the same kind of curvy lines for the clothes wrapped around these two bags. In here, too, if you want to create a little bit of pattern and design, you can do that. Now let's erase it. In Insure that the color has dried up, the ink pen, jail pin, or breast pin that you have used, and then erase it lightly. For some of the section, I'll be adding a little bit more detailing, like in here for the beard. The bottom section of the beard is not that much clearly defined, so making the beard a little bit clearly distinct from the remaining section for this large armor plates in here, as I was mentioning, I'll be creating this kind of scales like pattern. For all the armor plates visible in here, I'll be doing the same thing, this kind of simple pattern and design. And with these we are done with this one. Let's do the same thing for the middle section, the middle armor paten here. Feel free to make changes and adjustment as you see fit. And with these, we are almost done with this middle one. Now moving on to the third one, same kind of scales like pattern. Apart from this, we have got one more. Only a small section of that armor plate is visible. But for now, let's continue with creating the small scales like pattern in here. Adding a few more scales like pattern and then we'll be done with this armor plate. And with these we are done with this one. Let's create the scales for the last armor plate that is visible in here. Co. And with these, we are done with creating the patterns and design for all armor plates. If you want, you can add a little bit of more detailing as you see fit for the armor plates for the cantas leg, too. If you want, you can create different kind of designs and pattern. Now for the Santa suite in here, I'm creating this kind of line so that the cloth is folded in here. And for this armor plate in here for the canta sue, just plain simple lines to divide into different sections, moving on to the left leg and doing the same thing, plain simple lines, plain simple two vertical lines to add this kind of pattern. I decided to add a little bit of more pattern for this armalpldT section of the armor pad, simple scale like pattern. And with this, we are done with most of the outlining sections. Erase the pencil marks if there is any. And in here, right now, I'm using this sparkling golden color. So I'm using this brass paint to add the coloring for the different sketes that we created. Instead of this, you can use the Cambog or the light yll to do the coloring. I'll be adding this for some of the section of the different armor plates like in here. Instead of doing the coloring right now, you can do the coloring later on. So if you're going to use gauze or you can use a little bit of concentrated white colour to do the coloring later on when the primary layers or the flat was dried up to add a little bit of coloring and detailing for the different scales for the armor plates. So right now, I'll be adding this for all the scales that we created with this golden color. So this is going to take a little bit of d, so I decided to increase the speed. If you want to follow along with me, you can reduce the speed or you can pause the video. Instead of using the light colors to create the coloring for the scales, you can use black color to do the coloring later on. In here, I'm using blacking to add the coloring for the inside. So for all the skills that we created in here, for the inside of it, I'll be adding it. This two is optional. Instead of this, you can use the red to color it all. And for now, I'll be continuing on with this blacking to add the coloring for all the skills like pattern in the texture that I have created. And as you can see, I'm also adding it for some of the regions that will be a little bit more inside. So black for those region. And now filling the rest of the skies that we created with this black. You can use the watercolor to do the coloring. You can use the sail pin or the boilpoint paint or the file line to do the coloring, if you're going to follow along with me. If you're going to follow along with me and use the same color scheme, otherwise, you can use completely different colored scheme to do the coloring for the different sections. For now, I'll be continuing on with this black and carefully adding in between different section of the scales. One more thing that you can do is you can just completely cover the entire section with a black or red and then use the white colour, white watercolor or white ink or white jelly pin, white acrylic will do the work and create this kind of skills when the colour dries up. For one of the section, I'll be adding the color later on on top of the black using the white ink. And with this, we are almost done with the coloring for all the scales that we have in here. Adding a little bit for the upper part. And here I decided to mix some of the section a little bit more darker and making the outline a little bit more defined, adding this a little bit in here for this armor plate. And with these, we are done with this video. I'll see you in the next video, we will be doing the flatba and the coloring. Oh 13. Flatwash with the red ink: Welcome to the third part in here. I'll be in here. I'll be using this aid to do the flat s. If you don't have raiding, as I mentioned earlier, you can use the diluted watercolor or gauze to create the primary layering or flat was. I'll be doing this flat was on top of all the plate armors that we have created, both the soulder plates, the stomach, and the lower armor plates, a little bit for the center's foot. And in here, I'm adding it for the cenas cap. A little bit cautious and careful while adding it near closed or small species. Going over the outline of the beard. And now let's do the outlining in here and we'll be and then we'll be filling the entire space with this red ink. I use this grading to create the flat vase, since it will provide me with uniform and consistent color throughout the entire flat vase. With a Gauss and water color, you'll have to bit causes and ensure that the intensity of the color remains the same. But here in here, intensity will remain the same. That's why I'm using it. And also, this ink that I'm using is not waterproof, so it will blend smoothly with the watercolor or the gauze, carefully going over the outline for the cloth wrapping around the cena suis. After coloring this, I'll be going with the Camboj to do the coloring. Instead of the Camboj if you prefer, you can use the yellow or ocher, that will do the work too. But I decided to use the same color that I use for the armor plates, the designs in the pattern for the armor plate. Now, adding it for the canta spam. Adding it for the sand. Now let's do the coloring for this three armon plates. The armour plates in the front and one on the back side. We'll be using lighted seats of the color and with low intensity, the outlines that we created with the bras pen will be visible. Instead of this, if you want, you can do the outlining later on as I showed you in the demonstration video. Carefully going over the outline with this red ink. Now let's feel the remaining section with this read. H And when these we are done with this plate tar, moving on to the first one. In here, carefully adding it beside the center spa and the cloth wrapping around the cena's fast. Here, to like the earlier project, we'll be doing one or two more layering of the coloring, starting with a bit lighter, starting with a bit darker side of the red, and then a little bit of brown or a little bit more darker side of the red or maroon to do the layering on top of it to create a gradient. And now let's feel the rest of the space. And with this, we are done with the front three. We have got one more on the other side. For now, let's do the coloring for the Santas four. Carefully going over the outline and then feeling the rest of this piece in here with this. As to create the shadows and a little bit of sedied regions, I'll be adding the darker center of the red or the maroon or brown just below the outline section just below the armor plates and a little bit above the center's foot, too. I'll also be adding the red for the center's bag that is carrying on its back and for the other soldier plate on the center's left hand. Adding it for the center's left hand. The outlines that I created in here, I'll be going in with the yellow or the Camujo later on. F now, let's feel now, let's feel the two armor plates with the red. The second armour plate that is visible in here, you can use other color like Ambuji or brown to do the coloring to so that the two armour plates are distinct. In here, I'm adding the color for the cantas bag, filling in inside this outlined section. I'll be adding color for both the bags with this red, and for the clothes that are wrapped around it, I'll be going with the Cambogiu, a little bit of ochre, and also a little bit of white later on. But for now, let's feel the remaining section of the Santas bag. Both the two projects of the center samurai Santa took me around 90 minutes, 80 to 90 minutes. Carefully filling the coloring for this small section. And with this, we are done with the second bag that Santa is carrying. Let's do the coloring for this first one. So the remaining section outlining the armor plate and then we'll be filling the remaining section with the red. And with this, we are done with two red bags. In here, I'm using Cambo ju. I mixed a little bit of burned sienna with this to get this kind of sad. Instead of this, if you have dark orange, you can use that too. So this is somewhat of orange color or somewhat similar to the color of the peach. In here, I'm using a bit thicker consistency of this color to do the coloring, moving on to the other leg. Carefully filling this section. And with this, we are done with the feed. Now, let's do the coloring for the large clothes that are hanging, so the one like seats. For the two of the clothes, I'll be using this and for the middle one, I'll be going with the black later on. And when this tries, I'll be adding a little bit of brown on top of it to add more detailings and create a little bit of screening. And with this, we are done with the second one. Now, moving on to the small bag that Santa is carrying on his hip, on his waist. Adding it for the Santa's gauntltd hand for the middle region in here, the Santa's elbow. Instead of this, if you want, you can use other color combinations as you see fit. I'll be referring this color as Cambo to avoid confusion. Adding this color for the cloth wrapped around Santa's waist, carefully and cautiously adding it for the smaller regions. And yeah, with these, we are done with the coloring for the knot. Adding this color for this middle section, later on, I decided to cover this region with the black, so you don't have to add the color for this one. Now for the Santas katana, adding this cull for the upper part of the cenas katana and now for the remaining section, the lower part. And in here, I'm leaving a little bit of white speech in middle. Adding the colour for the cenas other end. Is the consistency of the color remains the same. I forgot to add the coloring for this armor pred. This section of the armor plate. So using the reading to color it once again. Adding a little bit of more red ink in here to make this region a little bit more darker. Adding it for the side too. Since this ink is not waterproof, the two colors are blending a little bit, and the region where we added another near, it's a little bit more darker. You can also use the water to spread the colors, adding it for the upper side of the Santas ***. Here, too, I forgot to add the coloring. And with these, we are done with the red in here. Right now, I'm using the black, so center slipper or the center sandals will be in black. Carefully going over the outline region, leaving a little bit of white space in here, we'll be going with the brown or a little bit of pinkish color to add the coloring for here. Since this was going to take a little bit of time and this was repetitive process. I colored it on my own. So these are the two paintings, one before coloring and one after coloring, I added the color for the rest of the species, the white species in here with the Cambo. And apart from that, I also created a little bit of pinkish color using a bit of diluted red mixed with the red, and I used it for the cantas wast cloth, as well as a little bit for some of the armor plate. Now let's continue with the remaining section. In here, and you see the same color that I created, a little bit of white mixed with a very diluted consistency of the red. And for the cantas bead in here, I also mixed a little bit of gray. Instead of this colour combination, you can use the same colour combination that we used for our earlier project, only gray in the white. But in here, I decided to create a little bit of pinkish coloring for our Santa's beard, completely covering the entire section for the centas beard and the moustache with this a little bit for the upper part too. I decided to use this colour to keep the same thing for the Centas beard and the subsection of the Santas armor plate. And in here, right now, I'm going with medium consistency of the gray and overlaying this on top of the primary flat was that we created with the earlier color. Small stocks with this gray to make this beard a little bit more bossier and create a little bit of fluffy texture for this large beard. As you can see, I primarily added it for the lower region and a little bit below the centers. Most right now in here, I'm using skin tone to do the coloring for the cenas face, carefully adding it in here for the cenas to small ears. In here, I'm using a medium consistency of the skin tone to do the coloring for the Santa special feature. Adding a little bit just below the centas moustache tune. These we are done with the skin color. We will wait for it to dry a little bit until it dry. And here, I'm using gray to create small sados around the centa's foot. I'm a diluted consistency of the gray to create very small sandos just beside the centa's foot. If you want, you can create a bit larger sido in the form of circular see or somewhat of elliptical see. In here, I'm using a little bit of water to decrease the intensity of the skin tone a little bit. It was looking a little bit more darker, so that's why I used water to remove it a little bit of the coloring. Now, let's make the Santa checks a little bit rosy. So using a little bit of red, it will blend on its own because of the wet and wind technique. I'm going with the white to make this a little bit more fluffier, so a bit larger strokes with this white on top of the green that we used earlier, not covering the entire green that we used earlier, but most of the section with this white. Carefully going over the outline region near the centas moustache, and now here too. Most of the regions of the grease and the pink that we used earlier is covered, but on the stries you can still see the visibility of some of the grease strokes. Going over the outline to ensure that most of them is covered. Yeah, when it dries up, the small strokes that we created with the green will become a little bit more apparent. The visibility of this white will decrease a little bit. Now it's spreading the water. Now using the water to spread the color for the santastic that we used earlier. Also spreading this color for the upper part to to create a little bit more darker region. Right now in here, I'm using sap green to do the coloring for few of the leaves that are visible in here. A bit lighter consistency of the sap green for the coloring of the sleeve. If you want to make this a little bit more detail, you can go in with another set of the green. And now let's add more detailing to the plate armor. In here, I'm using brown and adding it on the sides, adding it on the sides of this lower section of the armor plate. And I'll be adding it for all the region where there will be shadows. Use a bit water consistency of the color so that you can spread it easily with water later on, adding it for the two bags that we have in here. And now in here, I'm using water to spread the colour to blend it with the Camboo juice sand that we used earlier. Spreading the color in the middle and now moving onto the other side. Covering the entire section with this flat, the flat was we are creating with this water by spreading the brown that we just added over the Cambo from earlier. Now doing the same thing for this region, doing the same thing for in here, a little bit of brown, just below the centers beard and on this side, the upper and the lower side of this cloth. If you want, you can also use this to do the outlining. In here, I'll also be creating a little bit of gradient in here for the Santa's arm plate on the canta, the contiltd hand. Going in with the water to spread the colour to do a little bit of blending. Spreading the color a little bit, doing the same thing for the armor plate in here, the contiltd hand. The colin he has to make this look a little bit more rustic, doing the same thing for this region, the lower armor plate for the Santa's legs in here. Creating the outline for the different section and then we'll be using a little bit of water to spread it. Or instead of this, if you prefer, you can just leave it as it as the outline. Instead of single lines, you can see to add a bit more characteristic to it. I'm creating two lines. Now let's do the same thing for this leg, the left leg. Create pretty small and precise lines to create this kind of outlined section for different panels of this armor plate. And I decided to not blend this color. If you want, you can go in with a. If you want, you can add a little bit of water to blend this a little bit to create gradient. But it's looking pretty good, so I decided to keep it as it is. Adding a little bit of brown for the allowed section in the center sandals. Now, these two colors, the camo from the armor plate, and this bag is looking somewhat of same intensity, so adding a little bit of brown in here too. And with this Vard and with this video, we will wait for the colours to dry and then add another layering on top of it, as well as do the outlining and I'll see you in the next video. 14. Final detailings and extra outlinings: Welcome to the last to of the center of the red armor order. In here, we'll be adding the final detailing. Here, I'm starting with a bit darker side of the grain to create a little bit of gradient. For most of the outlined section, I'll be adding the red for upper and the lower section and then go in with the water to spread it. Adding another layer of red on top of this, the centers large bag of gift. This is optional. If your project looks good, you don't have to add more layers of the coloring. And now in here, I'm spreading the color a little bit, spreading the colour to blend it with a flatwash of the ink that we used earlier. And you can clearly see the difference. The upper and the lower part are dark and the middle part is a bit lighter, ding it for the second one. So a bit more red near the first bag, and then we will be spreading it for the second one. You don't have to use water even to spread the color. If the tip of the brush is only dipped in the ink and the upper section is not dipped in the water, then you can use the upper part of the brush at an angle to spread the color. Let's do it for the centas line. In here, too, just near the plate armor, near the centas waist bend. Use a bit darkens the right outlining this armor plate, too. Instead of this, you can also use maroon or brown too that will create a bit more. That will create a bit more intense ingredient. Let's go in with the water to spread it. Just spreading the colour to blend it with the remaining flatwash of the red ink, doing the same thing for the Santa food. Moving on to this one, spreading the color in here, too. Spread the color a little bit more in here. Now moving onto this side, the armor plate in here, carefully adding a little bit of red near the bottom section of this cloth. Now, let's spread the color. Sometime I'll be using water to spread the color. Otherwise, I will just use the bras at an angle to spread the color, moving on to the center the stomach in here too for the outlined region, add a little bit more red to create a clear distinction between centas armor plate of the centa soldier and the centas armor plate of the centtomach. Oh adding it carefully below the Santa's beard, adding it on this side near the Santa soldier plate. I'll also be adding a little bit for the top and the bottom section of this cloth that is around Santa's chest surrounding the knot in here. Adding a little bit for this side too. Right now I'm going with water to spread the color. Spreading the color the column will blend on its own. And now let's do it for this armor plate. A bit more for the upper and the lower side. Now, adding it in here. For this entire region, I added it. So for some of the region, you will have to go once or twice, create a bit of coloring and a bit more gradient. In here, instead of doing more layering, I decided to create the small strokes to give better appearance that the clothing is a little bit folded in some sections. This is small strokes, following the conto curve seep of the Santas bag. Spreading the color a little bit for the Santa soldier. Another layer of the color in here. The reasons where the gradient is not that apparent, you have to do more layering of the colour till you are satisfied with it. Or if you are satisfied with how your painting turned out, you don't need to do this. Adding a little bit more in here for this. Creating this kind of triangular see for the centas palm. And now let's spread the color that we just added for the centas foot using water to spread the color a little bit. Now for the clothes in here as a seeing, are we creating this kind of small lines so that to sort that there are folds in the cloth. In here, I'm using the burned sienna to create the folds. So just going over the outlines that we created earlier with the breast pane, simple and straight lines. I'm also wearing the thickness of the lines a little bit, the upper part is a little bit more thicker the lower part, the lower part are a bit thinner. For some of the clothe wrapping, I'll also be using this burnt sienna a little bit to make the outlines a little bit more clear, a bit more crisper. Okay. Treat these kind of small lines so that there are folds present in here. This region is not distinct and clear. Coloring of the clothes and the gauntlet are of somewhat of same intensity. So right now in here, I'm using brown to make the outline of the gauntlet a bit more clear and a bit more distinct. Later on, I'll be using a little bit of black or a little bit of white to make the outline a little bit more distinct from each other, doing the same thing for this gauntlet in hand, going over the outline to make it a bit bolder and more darker. Now in here, I'm using white. Here I'm creating a little bit more clear distincon in between different sections. Also, I'm using this white to create a little bit of highlights, too. Adding a little bit of white. The armor plate in here, I used a little bit of pink mixed with the white to do the coloring. But right now I'm using white to make it a little bit more lighter. Adding a little bit more white for the cantas stomach, letting a little bit more white for the cantas beard to give it a little bit more fluffier look. And now in here, I'm going with the bras bean to make some of the outlines a bit more clear and a bit more distinct. Insure the color has tried and then do the outlining. If it is a little bit difficult for you to overlay the fine line or the breastpin on top of it, you can use the small breast with the blacking to do the outlining. Making the distinction bit more gear for the separation in between the different section, like the armor plate in here and the center of the stomach. Going over the outline for the elbow plate. Adding a little bit more line, just the fold that we created. Braspin on the top of the folds that we created with the bit darker tone of the red earlier on. For the section where the outlines are not that clear, I'll be using this breast pain to make the outlines a bit more distinct. Instead of this, you can also use white jail pin or white ink if you have. If you want to use that to create the outlines, then you'll have to create a little bit of broken lines to do the outlining with the white. Moving on to the lower side, the armor plates in here. This will take a little bit of time since we have to do the outlining for lots of element in here. In here, I created very small shadows just below the centers foot. If you want, you can make it a little bit more bigger or bit larger. Let's do the outlining for the center lower part of the foot. The armor plates around the center sin. Making the lines bit more clear. One more tip you can use to the outline is to use the paint slowly. If you overlay the paint fastly, then the ink point come out, but slowly and gradually, you can use it, apply a bit of preset to do the outlining with the bras pin. With the fine linens, I find it a little bit difficult to create the outlining on top of the watercolor or the gauze. So I generally prefer to use the breast pain or watercolor brushes to do the outlining. Making the outlining more clear for the armor plates in here. Let's make the outline more clear in here, too. So these are some of the steps that take a bit of time. Instead of this, if I would have used a bit lighter tone of the coloring, lighter red, and lighter yellows and ocher, then I would not have to do this outlining. So it's a balance in between, using the darker intensity of the color and doing and going over the outlines once again. Now let's make the outline of this cloth wrapped around the knot of the cloth a little bit more distinct. This black section of the cloth that is visible in here, I'll be using whiting to create a little bit of pattern, the scales like pattern later on. Now let's continue with outlining with a bras pin. Moving on to this section. So I'll also overlaying some of this black on top of the white let me use earlier for the highlights. Now moving onto the other side. Let's make this region a little bit darker. Going over the outline for the katana that Santas is holding. Santa is not holding. It's just fastened to the Santa's west. Now, going over the outline for the centas beard. Small bras stroke with a bras pin to maintain the rough texture for the centas beard. Going over the outline for the remaining facial features, starting with the centasmstas. Centasee Now let's do the bottom of the centas cap and fine and fine outlining centaseys and nose, creating these kind of small strokes, too, so that the beard is a little bit posier and a bit fluffier. Outlining some of the leaves of the plant. Now, just add more outlining wherever you think it's required, the regions that are not that keen. Once again, here I am packed with the white. Here I was going to do a little bit of more detailing and designing. I decided to create another pattern, skills like pattern for this section. Then I gave up since it was going to take a lot of time and it was not looking that great. You don't have to do this. Here I was just experimenting. I would advise you not to follow along with me in here since it did not turn out that good. Go using this white to create a little bit of highlight for some of the section, just adding it a little bit below the black outline that we did earlier. Moving on to the Santas food, going over some of the lines. Now for this black one, for the fold of this black cloth, I'm using the white. Now, let's make the distinction a bit more clear and between the Santa's pouch, the Santas bag that is holding on its waist, the Centasqntilt it armor and the cloth wrapped around Santa's chest. So it's using white to make the outlines a bit more distinct. Okay. Here too, making a clear distinction in between this armor plate and all the bags that Santa is carrying a bit of white for this cloth tied around. And in here as I was mentioning, I'll be creating a scale like pattern, the same we did for some of the armor plate. This is optional. If you don't want, you can just leave it as it is. Now, all the things that Al me doing is optional, you don't have to do it. If you're satisfied with your painting, you can just keep it as it is, or you can follow along with me and add a little bit more details a bit of more coloring. Going over the outline, the inner outline for this region with the white. Adding a little bit of white for the cents e, a little bit for the top of the centa cap, clear distinction between this armor plate and the upper part of the Santa soldier. Here, let's create this kind of pattern scale pattern. Let's make the outline a bit more distinct in here. For this section, there are two armor plates in here, a little bit of white strokes to create a distinction between the two elements, the two different section of the armor plate. The outlining with the black and the outlining with the white are somewhat different. With the white, you can saw a little bit of reflection as well as a highlight. And with the black, you can just make the outlines a bit more bolder and clear. Now, I'll be just adding a few lines here and there, the regions where I want to sow a little bit of highlight or so a bit of reflection or just to make the distinction a bit more clear. Now, once again, going back with the white to redo the eyes, I added a little bit of white earlier for the pupil on the les of the cantas eye. A bit of the outlining for the upper part too. Let's make the outline for the cap a bit more bolded. And once again, a little bit of more outlining for some of the section in here. I decided to make the armor plates a bit more distinct. So for some of the section, adding few lines to make the distinction a bit more gear, the different section of the armor plate. If the armor plates in your painting is visible, you don't have to do this. In here, some sections were not that clearly visible, so I decided to do this. For this armor plate, earlier, I used a lot of white to do the outlining in here, using black to go over the outlines of the white. Now I'm adding this on top of some of the section where we added white, where I added a bit of more white than necessary. So for those section, I'm adding this black. And with this, we are almost done with this a little bit more detailing for some of the sections. I was not looking that much great, so adding a little bit more outlining. Making the outline for the here line and beard line a little bit more clear in here. Doing a little bit of more outlining for this side of the bit and creating more smaller strokes in here. Here we added a lot of fight to do the outlining for this armor plate. Going over the outlines of the white that we did earlier as well as surrounding it. I'm not covering it, but as you can see, I'm surrounding the white that we used earlier and to do the highlight center's palm to in here, going over this triangular seep that we used that we created. Now for the cloth wrapped around it, creating a clear distinction between the cloth and the small cloth that is hanging around the center's waist. Bit of broken lines to do the outlining. Add a few more lines if required. Otherwise, with this, we are this project. Yeah, I hope you enjoyed this. I'll see you in the last feedne. 15.
