Partial transcription of the video
“Manual coloring I will draw the white flowers. There are several ways to make white, either by leaving it in negative, or by adding color to it. Me, I prefer to add the color because it gives relief and a white is never truly white. To reinforce the feeling of light, I add very pale yellow. For the rope, I choose brown tones from lightest to darkest. I'm going to finish the coloring, see you later. I finished the coloring, we move on to the next lesson: the composition.”
