    Man, can you extend this topic because it's easy to understand the value matching but could you expand it with colour theory and mood?, would be sooooo cool!!! ty for your time!

      Yeah, knowing what certain color could go with the variation is a pretty cool tutorial to have.

    • @jmrivera_piro
      @jmrivera_piro 2 місяці тому +36

      A simple thing you can do is do the shadows in cool hues and the lights in warm hues, or viseversa. It's mostly about temperature. Also, the temperature is relative. Something fun to try is to do lights with desaturated warm hues and shadows with saturated cool colors. You'll find that you don't even need to use desaturated orange to light blue, if you have lots of blues and apply blue gray to those blues, it will look like the gray color is warm compared to the saturated blues. Try this with different complementary palettes. I find that sky blues with lemon yellows are very fun, but try colors you like :^D

    My god imagine the amount of experience it takes for traditional artists to do this without that color wheel. Respect fr.
    (Edit: I'm starting to feel like this comment came off as making graphical art look easier than traditional. I swear that was not my intention. I'm a digital artist myself. I'm really into graphite and charcoal work but I've also done a lot digital art too. Rn I'm desperately trying to get better at working with colors for both digital and traditional. I was genuinely perplexed thinking about how to use this in traditional.
    Please don't think that I'm trying to say digital art is easier. Art is art and there are no rules in art 😊)

    @leroiloup01aj58 2 місяці тому +176

    This is not always true, making sure to keep the same values ​​does not guarantee that the colors will go well together. You should not rely on the gray scale 100% of the time, it can help guide us in our choices sometimes but in the end what will stand out the most in your drawings is the color. Even if you take a turquoise blue with a grayscale value that is almost the same as, say, the red in your character's outfit, your blue may still stand out even if it has the same value as the Red. Contrast is important in a drawing and the gray scale can be useful to help us add it but really the most important thing is the hue of the color.

    instead of trying to match the values manually, you can add ur colors on a new layer set to the color blend mode. it just takes the color without changing the values underneath

    You can also add a setting to your brush to change the colour of every stroke a little bit. It saves so much time

    That is very useful! But, I think, you also should think about the environment of the object: if the object will contain some of the colors from background, the whole picture will look more harmonious. So, that's not only about adding chaotic colors, but also to adding colors from one object to another standing nearby :)

    That purple would be AWESOME for reflective light, though. And this type of color addition isn't necessary because art is so subjective. The original painting wasn't dull at all! If you have bright colors, good contrast, or interest in your painting, it's hard for it to be dull. Only go as far as you want to!
