    The FIRST ONE with the colour wheel and being like... hey if your light is this OPPOSITE ON THE WHEEL... every damn tutorial I have watched so far, nobody, NOBODY has made it that easy or pointed that out. That one piece of advise makes this the best video ever and, you're based af. Thank you!

    • @ws6778
      @ws6778 Рік тому +9

      There is way more to shading coloration, the colors of the nearby things on the surrounding environment appear reflected in the shadows of all things, there are many helpful tutorials on shading at the channel of Marco Bucci.

    Your videos have helped me improve my art so much, I have been in a huge art-block for what feels like years cause I always felt my art wasn't any good. Thanks to your videos, the easy steps, reassuring words making me feel like I could actually do it, and overall amazing art on your part, I have been feeling SO happy with mine. Every video is absolutely amazing, thank you so much!

  • @cursedemoji4379

  • @Hyginx
    @Hyginx Рік тому +7

    Love the video, and it did have some super useful information, but there was one thing I think was missed with metal in particular. Metal reflections are always tinted the color of the material. When you render metal, reflections (including that of the sky) will be in the color metal you are working with (such as yellows for gold and browns for copper). Huge shout-out to a wonderful artist on UA-cam, BoroCG, for that tid bit of information.

    Wow, this is amazingly to the point and helpful! Many '4 tips for beginners' lists are either super basic or very specific.
    Your video actually provides short clear tips that are immediately and broadly applicable for most beginners. I, for one, will use these tips from now on for sure. Thank you very much.
    I honestly hope your channel blows up soon because your content is fantastic quality, and lots of people would benefit from it so much.

    Blimey, you talk at the speed of light. I feel that I might end up with whiplash every time I pause the video :p
    All joking aside, enjoyed the content, it's very on-point and you cover pieces of information that is often brushed over by other "tutors" (pun totally intended).
    Have subbed the channel because it definitely speaks to me as a learner whom never had the opportunity to get an education in art and because the content is conveyed to me in a way that I can absorb which is very on-par with only one other UA-cam presence that really works which is Ctrl-Paint.
    Look forward to absorbing all the content :)

  • @musingsofmessa
    @musingsofmessa Рік тому +8

    Let's say for things like brown hair, what would the complementary color or shadow color be?
    In one of my latest pieces, I had a blue highlight color and it looks pretty nice. 😊

    • @wanasfa
      @wanasfa Рік тому +2

      if the brown is more of a red tone it would be blue/cyan

    • @black-nails
      @black-nails Рік тому +1

      if you don't want to use overlay layers, you could try grey-ish brown (looks bluish, but more neutral) or add reflective colors in the shadow (so color of clothes/ whatever is colored & close to that part of the hair)

    • @davestriderenthusiast

    Oh thank you! I actually learned a little bit. Colour shading is one of my weakest skills. I pretty much only did sketches growing up, so I only learned to shade in monochrome. And even then, I need to learn about light dynamics and shapes, I think

  • @sparta311
    @sparta311 Рік тому +1

    So for the color portion at the start. What would do if I say had two different color light souses? How would I do the shading and lighting then?
    So for example, say someone was walking down a walkway around in a nightclub or down a path at night that's lit up by neon sines. how would I go about piking the colors for the shading at that point if there are two or more colored lights?
    P.S. sorry for any bad grammar or spelling ^^;

    • @Dark-goosey
      @Dark-goosey Рік тому +1

      I'd say if you use rendering layers (multiply, soft/hard light...) it doesn't, though some will be prettier?
      Not sure how that would work traditionally though.

  • @Chfrchko-144
    @Chfrchko-144 3 місяці тому +1

    Hue of shadow isn't complement colour, it depends on surrounding area (in day light with clear sky it'll be bluish, in dark room lighted only by candles - warm)

    Honestly I really wish there is somewhere I could go like specifically to ask art questions that isn’t TikTok, twitter or Reddit because everytime I try I get no views and no help
    Anyway question for anyone still reading this, is there like a blending/smudging/blurring (idk how to phrase it) tutorial somewhere? Like honestly everytime I use the smudge tool it’s just all over the place (yes I lower opacity) and in the end I just end up using Gaussian blur 😔 but this person doesn’t even use the smudge tool, they use a textured brush HOW I did try tho and still I can’t blend like how other ppl do it, help 😭

NOT STUDY THE SAME THING I ALREADY STUDIED MULTIPLE TIMES!!! AND I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO RELIABLY ON PAPER!!!

    • @BluestoneTheGreat
      @BluestoneTheGreat 2 місяці тому

      A lot of the principles from analog art carry over into digital art so most videos you see about “How to do ____” are going to be similar across the board. Most creators making digital art tutorials are trying to teach you techniques not how to use your art program so my recommendation to you would be search for videos focused on teaching you to use your art program and if you still need help doing a specific task like shading or blending you can use phrases like “in (insert program name)” during your search for example: “How to blend skin tones in Clip Studio”
      If you can’t find a good video for your program of choice then watch a video for a different program and google search what the equivalent tool is in your program
