"Bear with me 'cause I'm lazy" I wouldn't consider you as lazy! Many people on UA-cam spend weeks just making a 10 minute video! You are an amazing artist and I wouldn't consider your hard work as "lazy" 😊
You really are an amazing man! I have called myself an artist for 35 years, spent 3 years full time at a classical art school, got a Masters degree, yet in everyone of your videos I am learning lots and indeed you are filling the tank of passion for me at a time when I really need it. Thanks so much! Your teaching style is second to none and you are funny :) Also you quick painting doodles take my breath away and make me want to play.
I got a bit too ambitious with that example, it's very unnatural looking to have it right down the middle... I'm just glad I included something about dynamic ranges.
well i mean there's perfectly good reasons to think that, since all the lineart is _darker_ it looks like there's more ambient occlusion on that side of the face, and of course that would only occur in a shadow. trying to make the right side look like a shadow and still preserving the idea that there is generally less visual information in areas of shadow, while using only lineart with no other separation of values, might require a more stylized approach with larger shapes of solid black. there's probably other methods for it. either way, the way it was depicted just doesn't strongly convey that.
interesting...i was thinking almost the opposite: his voice is super annoying to me - sleepy, gravelly, lazy. so much so that if I were him, i would get someone to do voiceovers so as not to distract from the quite helpful content.
@@G4MMABA3 I went to art school and this would've helped if they actually taught this right, Sinix apparently can teach you a lot better than going to an art school where you pay for lessons.
In the middle of your less details in shadows talk I realized something and dug through my portfolio to find one of my better pieces of art, a charcoal figure drawing. When I drew it our professor gave us the limit on only working with a single value of shadows, let the entire shadow be complete darkness and try to define the figure from there. Looking at it now, I realize that's why I consider it one of my better pieces. It's a very simple piece, but it does a lot with very little
00:18 🖌️ Focusing on detail in shadows: Less detail in shadow areas creates a more painterly and adaptive effect, enhancing visual aspects like lighting interplay and tones. 03:30 🎨 Shapes in shadows: Treat shadows as design elements, creating simplified and appealing shapes. Combine and simplify shadow shapes for a cohesive look. 08:52 🌈 Shadow color and ambient light: Shadow color should reflect the ambient color of the environment, considering bounce light for a realistic portrayal. Avoid using dull grey shadows.
So I’m following along at the beginning, sketching the head and doing the extreme lighting examples. When you said “okay let’s color this in and I’m gonna fix some little mistakes” and began to Timelapse, let me tell you I was not prepared for the speedrun portion of this tutorial
something I love to do with shadows is use as many colors as possible. blues and violets as the darkest, reds greens and oranges as the mid tones, and pale pinks, yellows, and some hints of white as my full light. makes for a fun effect (but I prefer it in sunlit pieces.)
With the dynamic range thing- a lot of chinese artists tend to paint things over exposed and it's become recently more popular to have more "white" glowey skin and details in the digital art scene when it comes to concept art in general
Dude, I'm watching your videos whenever I'm in artblock and even the same video that I have watched 4 times before teaches me something I have never considered. These are like a religious book for me. Thank you
I have been drawing for the better part of 40 years, and this one video summarized shadows better than anything I have ever seen! Thank you for your exceptional effort at art education!
Update in 2021 these concepts just rocked my understanding of shadow and completely unlocked an aspect of drawing I hadn’t considered in 30+ years of drawing and I’ve shared this with everyone I know as “thing I wish I had known a long time ago”
ive been in art school for years and NEVER heard anyone say shadow color is ambient color, yet that is something i've been struggling with for so long. to figure it out from a youtube video i stumbled upon instead of, oh y'know.. any of my actual teachers..... feels bad man. keep up the good work though! this is so informative and explained so well, it's time to binge watch some content
"We are trying to evolve past the lines that separate the objects in our minds, what we want to see are the lines that separate the giant ranges of value and colour instead." I was cleaning my apartment and heard that and had to say that a very good quote.
Please please please post more, you're the only one who can explain everything so clear and by actually painting what you're trying to teach. This was a great video as always, only problem is it's too short!
I learned 3 terms and two concepts that I haven't come across even in graduate school. Been doing portraits for 30yrs. I have a feeling they're about to level up. Subbed :20 in. Keep teaching, teacher.
Sinix: "And I'll GET to that rule in a SECOND, but FIIIIRST..." Me: "Oh great, a paid promotion/plug... How far do I have to skip ahead?" Sinix: **actually just has to provide important context before stating the rule** Me: O_O
Bro, this is legit one of the most insightful tutorials I've ever seen! I've been wanting to draw and learn how for so so long and I always doubted and questioned myself because I never understood how colors in shadows worked. Listening to your explanation makes so much sense to me and inspires me. Thank you so much
Another tip for outdoor shadows: the longer the shadow, the more blue it should be. When the sun is overhead, the color temperature will be around 5600 degrees Kelvin (K). When the sun is on the horizon, the direct sunlight will go down to around 4200K (almost as amber as incandescent lighting) but the shadows will shoot up to around 9500K, which is nearly pure blue.
Wow. It's something I've never thought about. Even when at 0:43 you asked which side is in shadow I interpreted it that way that less detailed part of the head is overexposed, just like here - 3:23. To be honest, I'm so happy I live in the era of me being able to get such valuable information so easily. This would be an extremely brave dream of an artist that lived even 100 years ago - "hey, this would be cool if I could write something down and many skilled people would want to help me to do it, for free." Thank you Sinix, I hope you'll keep up making helpful videos!
I genuinely can't understand people who want to live in 20 century. Like, when there were less opportunities and ways to save your life if something bad happened? When you couldn't talk with people that aren't sitting next to you, I'm not even talking of language learning? When if you were black your life basically wasn't that good?? IDK, retro music isn't worth it in my opinion
i agree with your post!! the past wasn't really that much of an "aesthetic" and cute place at all. :/ really glad i was born in the 21st century, where we're so progressively growing. ♡
I just got more painting theory in eleven minutes than my entire previous life. It’s such an interesting video, with topics I’ve never seen covered, and narrated so amazingly, and the art itself is absolutely beautiful!
even as someone who has a very cartoony simplified style, this video has helped a ton! i’ll be sure to bring these new tips to the drawing table (pun intended)
honestly ive been trying to figure out how to do solid blacks in my manga drawing, and this actually helps a lot.... ive been trying to maintain details while doing solid blacks and failing at every turn... but ignoring them in favor of big chunky shadows covering details is basically exactly what i needed
you have the best tutorials out there, I swear :D like you're teaching proper painterly techniques and really driving home the need of painting what you see and abstracting what you see into shapes and lights and shit rather than the idea of a human, or the idea of a wtree or so on. I ...I am rambling and not making sense, but you know what you're doing and I enjoy that you are is the point :)))
This is honestly one of the best explanations for adding shadows to artworks. I especially like to work with dramatic lighting scenarios & concept artworks, so learning the basics of shadows really helps to make the piece look more 3D and life-like. Thank you so much!
I always saw artists do that thing about blending objects w the shadows and never really understood why, I'm so happy I know the reason behind it now ^^
I actually almost always see more detail in the dark, because the interplay of ambient light and total shadow clarifies features, whereas the light side has no shadow to play against melting all forms together.
I feel like a whole new world has been opened up to me haha, had to bust out my notebook so I would remember it all to use in my art from now on!! Thank you so much for this Sinix!! Going to be camping out in your channel for a while now
i could see the difference of the shadow with and without the artline. im impressed what impact it has, now i understand why people usually leave a blank or lesser details when theres shadow
Yes! I am so glad you replied to my comment on another video so I have discovered your videos! I want to incorporate your wisdom into cake design and custom chocolate designs! Also, respect for incorporating psychophysics (dark vision) into art, bravo!
"In some sense they're not even really shadows at that point; you can think about that on your own." 😲😲😲🤯 ... I am loving your videos; you throw so much useful information at us, but it's delivered succinctly and effectively!
So you mean to say I don’t need to put details on one side of the face? And it could look better? Why was I wasting my time trying to detail everything before? 🤦♂️
I'd say it's because our mind is fully aware of all the details a face can have, and tries to put it on paper. But it's daft ebough to not realise that the eyes don't see all of it.
I was looking everywhere to explain how to shade using different hues and this is THE ONLY video i could find that actually thoroughly explained how to do this. Thank you
I really needed this, I find myself getting caught up with technical accuracy for shadows but it's both easier and more fun to try and take aesthetic appeal into account for them while getting enough accuracy so it doesn't look off.
this was so helpful! I had a college professor who taught us that the shadow color should always be the opposite of the light color, and trying to follow and rationalize that concept screwed me up for years .
It’s not just the dilating of the pupils that adjusts your eyes to the darkness; if it were so, it would only take a second. There’s a photosensitive protein in your eyes which is what actually makes you see; when light hits it, it snaps into a different position, then it’s shipped off into your liver to get straightened up again. So when you step into a dark room you have to wait for your liver to straighten enough of that protein in order for you to see in the dark and afterwards you’ll only use a small number of those proteins. That’s also why it takes a while after looking into a flash to be able to see normally, especially in the exact place where the flash hit your retina. Anyway, thanks for this great video, I learned a lot from it.
Your lessons are amazing. I have always seen this effect of merged shadows in art and I liked it very much but could never pin point it and kind of coin it but your video did just that so thank you!
Can you do a video on finding ambient light? Most rooms and reference photos I find are not completely red or completely green ambient lighting, and the subjects I would like to paint aren't blank white cubes and spheres so how do I apply this concept to more detailed and complex objects with various colors?
It's like when Arnod always comesback, you never know when but you know it's coming and here we are with Sinix again ;0. Do you plan on maknig something similar to your China visit video one day again? :)

Jose Jaume SAY THAT AGAIN.
sinix: which side of the face is in shadow?
brain: left because its darker
sinix: HOPEFULLY you're saying the one on the right
brain: :^(
happened with me too lmao :^(
it's okayyy don't stress it, just means you don't have what it takes to become a real artist! no biggy! (jk)
come to think of it you are not wrong.the face could look like that if the right side was in strong light and the left in normal light i guess
Same wbwksnsm
@@anjumara2279 right, because strong light washes out detail
His voice is so relaxing, is like a Bob Ross of digital art.
Diego Oliveira You think so? I don’t think so much their voices are both calming, but Bob Ross voice is way more tranquil.
I can only remember of Toby Flenderson from The Office when I hear his voice.
I think its relaxing too
The difference is Bob Ross is overrated
Bob ross' voice is relaxing and engaging, sinix's voice is boring and makes me want to fall asleep...
I love the way sinix explains art through science it just makes so much more sense than someone just saying "dont use grey shadows it's ugly"

Thanks so much! Your teaching style is second to none and you are funny :)
Also you quick painting doodles take my breath away and make me want to play.
i actually thought the right side on the first side was in really harsh light, like the lineart was blown out instead. lol
I got a bit too ambitious with that example, it's very unnatural looking to have it right down the middle... I'm just glad I included something about dynamic ranges.
yeah same i thought i was hella stupid for guessing wrong 😩😩
That's because he drew the picture on a white background. By removing detail he instantly made it look bleached out :)
well i mean there's perfectly good reasons to think that, since all the lineart is _darker_ it looks like there's more ambient occlusion on that side of the face, and of course that would only occur in a shadow. trying to make the right side look like a shadow and still preserving the idea that there is generally less visual information in areas of shadow, while using only lineart with no other separation of values, might require a more stylized approach with larger shapes of solid black. there's probably other methods for it. either way, the way it was depicted just doesn't strongly convey that.

I feel like that's just the standard art flow, first you learn to add stuff, then to remove what's not needed.
I'd say it's because our mind is fully aware of all the details a face can have, and tries to put it on paper.
But it's daft ebough to not realise that the eyes don't see all of it.

It’s not just the dilating of the pupils that adjusts your eyes to the darkness; if it were so, it would only take a second.
There’s a photosensitive protein in your eyes which is what actually makes you see; when light hits it, it snaps into a different position, then it’s shipped off into your liver to get straightened up again. So when you step into a dark room you have to wait for your liver to straighten enough of that protein in order for you to see in the dark and afterwards you’ll only use a small number of those proteins.
