Yes! Skin tone 🙏🏻 I'm having a hard time adjusting skin colors when there's a shadow or against the light and also with consistency in mixing the same exact skin color as the previous one (you mixed) when you ran out of the mixed skin color.
About the shadows, it really depends on the lighting. Sometimes you might want cooler shadows, sometimes warmer. And sometimes shadows just look gray 😭 i really wish i could help more but it's so different for every situation. As for mixing the exact same colors every time, i recommend getting an extra sheet of the exact same paper you're painting on and test out the paints before you lay them down. The hardest thing about that is eyeballing the colors but it just is the most effecient for me
I may add another tip: if you are painting a based on tangible picture you can make a hole on another sheet and see the colours from there. It offers the color as it is to the eye, without getting affected because of colours next to it. Sorry for my english, have a nice day!
To avoid using black in our work, my art teacher taught us that to get a TINT it’s the hue (whatever color your using) + white. A SHADE is the hue + it’s complementary, and a TONE is the hue + complement + white. Edit: Also, this where knowing your terminology comes in. I know most people use shade and tone interchangeably, but in order to understand color you must learn how to mix them.
There's a tint called "neutral tint" that is black with a warm blue and cold red, so it is black but more subtle. A good option to "use" black is either mixing the color with indigo, payne's grey or sepia, depending on the lighting of the drawing.
THANK YOU I completely skipped the part of complimentary color and primary that I kept asking myself how do painters know to add green or purple to skin tones while painting, now that you reminded and thoroughly explained it I understand it now thank you so much 🥰
This is the best video on mixing skin tone that I could find! You explained everything perfectly, and I feel like I understand SO much more now! Thank you!
this video is sooo helpful to find the right colors for my art, so that the important stuf in my art really pops out. I already knew these tips, but now I will pay more attention again on these things. Thanks a lot!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insight about color theory! It was a different way of seeing and learning color theory! Thank you for the great tips and advice! And keep up the amazing work! Love your paintings and art videos!!
Hi hamrib. I love your channel and the fact that you share so much information. From an instructional perspective it may be easier to understand this in terms of hue, value and saturation. The complimentary color is used to desaturate a hue. Incremental amounts of the complimentary incrementally desaturates the hue as very few things in life are fully saturated colors. For example, brown is in the orange hue family, it’s just desaturated orange. This is why you get brown by adding blue to it. If you add too much blue you will obviously shift the hue from orange to blue. This is where black and white may become necessary. If you want a darker/lighter hue they what your primaries will give you black/white will change its value without changing its hue
Thank you very much ! I really needed to learn about color theory but english isn't my first language so its hard sometimes to find tutorial that i can understand but your is perfect !
Forgive my delayed watching, but my studies in Art are continuously occupying most all of my waking moments. Wholly agree that every painter must consider contrast in any piece, even if it places color in subservience to final contrast of the finished work. This especially true of the use of grays near body colors where making them the same value will work like any complimentary hue that may be used. It makes the color appear more saturated and vibrant.
If you want to know which blue is "warm" and which one is "cold": Warm blues go to violet (see Ultramarine) vs Cold colors that go to the Green (Phtalo blue, IE, have two shades: Red shade, which makes it 'warm' and green shade, that makes it 'cold'). Same with the red: Warm red go to yellow/orange while cold red (magenta) go to blue. ETA: It is important to recognize which color is warm or cold, because as you see here 1:32 the ultramarine added the "red/warm shade" to the green color, so the mix ended with the "three tones", so it looks muddy. The celulean with the lemon yellow is vibrant because both colors go to the same color (green in this case), so it makes a clean and vibrant shade of green. Of course it doesn't mean you have to stay with only vibrant colors, just that if you need certain shade of color, mixing both warm and cold colors helps to create your own palette. That's why most of the professional products have not only the CYM, but also RBY.
I was taught that adding the complimentary color is what causes a color to become less saturated, not the temperature, though I can see how that can be the case too. I think it depends on what the piece requires, the other colors in the piece, things like brand and amount of each pigment and so-on. The example of the less vibrant green would do great for foliage in my opinion just as much as the more vibrant example, but again, it depends on what the artist is going for.
I really find it a little bit strange when people say that these or these colors are the true primary. There's no such thing as true primary colours. It all depends on what you want to do/talk about. From RGB to CMYK and RYB, they are all primary for different purposes
Hello Hamrib Art. How are you doing😊 i am not fine i have a lost to procces. I am bad at drawing people but good at drawing plants,environment,s and things like crystals ectra😊 i love drawing fantasy. I you,re colour wheel. Its so cute😊
Hello,. I'm From Indonesia. I Love Every Single Of Your Video But I Need Some Subtitles 😂 Maybe Next Time You Would To Add Indonesian Subtitles On It ❤
Thank you so much sister! You really helped me a lot. You made it easier for me to understand (人 •͈ᴗ•͈).. thank so muchu! I also love your painting videos ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Hi can you please make a new video of this (skin tone mixing) but with holbein acrila i forgat the spelling lol in only three colors the primary po please preety please #iloveyourart #pleaseacceptmyrequest
Yellow, red, and blue are not recognized as "primary colors" any more. If they were, how could printers print them when they don't contain inks of those colors? Color theory has advanced quite beyond those simplistic ideas.
I've mentioned in the video that they weren't actually primary colors but I'm just using them because I'm using the traditional color wheel and it's easier to explain the whole video that way.They're also what can be easily found in beginner art supplies sets.

Thank you ❤️and thank you for watching Louis!
I was wondering why my paint mixtures were looking so muddy, thank you for explaining it so clearly! 🙌🏻😊
I think this was the best explanation of color mixing I’ve seen
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insight about color theory! It was a different way of seeing and learning color theory! Thank you for the great tips and advice! And keep up the amazing work! Love your paintings and art videos!!
Thank you so so much!!!! I really needed that video, I can't express the excitement I had while watching it

Wow I'm so glad ot helped!

Awe the primier is over, at least I managed to catch my first! Your art is really pretty!
Thank you Tia❤️
So beautiful art. Thanks for sharing dear friend ❤❤❤
Loved thiss video, so helpful!
I don,t like to draw on my samsung tab. I love to draw on aquarel paper from canson a4 and a3 and i ordered strathmore toned paper to try out😊
This was *so* helpful thank you 🙏🏻
I recently switched from watercolour to gouache and colour mixing has been so annoyyyying for me because the colour mixing system is different😩
this was so helpful omg
Amazing painting
super tamad ko mag color theory so ngayon may guide nako na e apply yung mapapanood ko, and weakness ko din talaga color theory

Omg. Thank you
Hello Hamrib Art. How are you doing😊 i am not fine i have a lost to procces. I am bad at drawing people but good at drawing plants,environment,s and things like crystals ectra😊 i love drawing fantasy. I you,re colour wheel. Its so cute😊
ah the dreaded colour theory, was shoved down our throats at college lol
Can you please also try to use acrylic paint anytime soon?👉👈 if it's okay for you hihi.
I've tried them before but i haven't had any luck with them. I'll try them again in the future i think
@@hambot aww oki thank u😊
How do I determine what’s the right color to use for skin tone
For a person who has never used gouache what sets or colours could anybody suggest ?
Holbein has been my favorite. All you need is the mixing color set!
I have the Himi set it’s pretty cheap and works really good
