omfg thats so cool, the lighter color bit changed my life.
You could totally do it in black and white, and have a gradient map as an adjustment layer and make that a clipping mask, and get the same result, but you can change the gradient after and use more than one colour. Like...
Makkon, this is really interesting! How did you get the feathers using this technique? I'm assuming some kind of custom brush texture to get the feathering and color variation across the horizontal axis of each feather? And then.... I'm not sure. Adjusting colors for each row of feathers playing with alternating darker-color/lighter-color blend-modes, or separate layers for different rows of feathers? It doesn't look like a simple lighter-color blend-mode.
so glad you guys find this helpful.... I will be producing more vids as time goes one and when I can have a little down time between teaching my classes

I would like to know this, too. The feathers look great. How did you achieve this?
And sorry for necroposting - this thread contains valuable knowledge. I thought it worthy to ... raise.

MAN that's what I've been looking for! Good thinking with the gradient map!
