It’s because it’s usually drawn naked (ofc without showing private parts) and UA-cam sees that as adult contant and either shadow bans the channel/video, or completely gives the channel a strike
I would go ever further: the brightest dark should still be darker than the darkest light. It's all about communicating form. And nothing is more crucial for that than your main areas of shadow and light. So make the distinction be clear.
@@br2485 That comic style of shading is in my experience one of the hardest but one of the best ones to practice because it actually makes you have to think and rationalize where to place the shadows instead of just kinda guessing
@@frankkennedy6388 I think what they meant, is that white backgrounds make the drawing look sort of bland even with shading. Like how some environments change the way the shadows would be colored (neon lights in a dark room sort of deal)
@@frankkennedy6388they're talking about the property of the bouncing light. In most cases, the light bounced from an object will brighten a certain shadow with its color. So a person with a well-lit blue object beside their face will have a little bit of the light hitting the object bounce to them, making their shadows appear bluer. There was a video that showed this very clearly, but I'm having trouble finding it Will inform you if I find it again
The way you shaded very broadly overall first and then added local variation of tone within each area was mind blowing to me, this was super helpful, thanks!!!
If you struggle with doing it all on one layer, you can do two separate layer passes using multiply layers. One for the overall shadows, and one for the smller indents(ambient occlusion). I prefer to paint mine personally, but i know many who find this helps them ^-^ Happy arting❤
I really like how you defined the light and shadow areas it makes a lot more sense that way I was trying to picture each part individually instead of defining the whole thing then going back for details
Bro i cannot thank you enough, you managed to teach me more than i expected. You also fixed the way i shade,i just need to get the process and tool usage right
Oh. OH! 😍❤️ That's amazing! Looking at it like that, it seems obvious, but I've always used the same base color throughout a thing and went over it with shading. Makes sense to have a darker base for the shadowy area and lighter base in the lighter area and go from there. Definitely gonna try this
for me i usually just use lighter highlights and darker shading when drawing something metallic and more dull lighting when it’s just a normal object or something with a matte texture
Dude I've struggled with this for so long and that checkerboard illusion low-key opened my perspective to how i shade. Every day i inch closer to suddenly spending weeks doing nothing but practicing
I had known about those facts but seeing them being applied at the end of the video made me learn them much better than any time I was told about those facts
There's a colour theory that I don't remember the name of which is essentially the reason for this. Its that the same colour can seem different based on what colour(s) surround it. Like a gray will appear more cold with a red background and appear warm with a blue background. Shading and colouring is tricky...
this is something I've had to relearn on 16 separate occasions, and is the sole reason to practice your values. Never forget to practice the fundamentals yall
So what you mean is, Due to absorbing light (showing how dark it can be) the "A" section, "A" appear darker due to its background/placement is at the dark color itself. In the opposite, "B" appearing much lighter (highlighting the B itself due to contrast/opposite...um... Saturation?? Don't know the called) Having "B" place in a white background/placement helps it be lighter even at the shadow area. Hoooo!!!!! First time hearing this chessboard art thing and i need to let the video replay over a few times on that part just to understand it. Even the end perfectly show how it is. P.s. just want to understand the logic or what you really say there. 😂😅
Am I the only one that likes the first one? Like as a stylistic choice even if you understand how it’s “meant” to be done. I feel like pulling the darks darker and the lights lighter can work.
After looking through this guy's h-drawings. It's safe to say that he maxed out his body anatomy drawing skill but not the face. Maybe it's just me, the realistic body and anime face looks so cursed lol
Tbf when there's extreme lighting the original image isn't at all bad, though I think most people aren't shading someone in a stormy night after lightning struck next to them
Baroque style intentionally has extreme lights and darks to create intensity and drama. So, if someone ever tries to tell you your art looks bad being like this just tell its baroque 😉😉
Quick question: I've noticed a lot of artists doing that 'black and white' thing and the going back to colour. How does that even work?? It's never really made any sense to me, even years into digital art.
I love how the clothes are just one solid colour with none of the shading
Chowder ahh clothes
With his skills yt might not like it if he actually shades it completely hahah
The tutorial is about shading the body, the clothes are only there for censorship purposes

A rule I read for this was 'the brightest part of the shadow area should be only as bright as the darkest part of the light area'
I would go ever further: the brightest dark should still be darker than the darkest light.

@@lonestarr1490I'd go EVEN FURTHER: shadows should be pure black always, and bright should be pure white always.

I love how the "clothes" that are totally there and not just covering any details are getting more and more detailed.
One thing that is missing in the videos. Never paint on a white background. The surrounding color is always reflected in shadows.
And it makes it so fucking hard to actually see how dark or bright your color is on a white background.
Wdym by that exactly?

Lmao the body looks like when I use shade smooth in blender on an unsmooth object.
which is quite impressive in itself considering that implies it already looks 3d

I actually quite liked the improperly shaded version! It reminds me of some stylized art from the 20’s

Thanks Excalibro, very cool!
Thanks for watching!
the checkerboard illusion lowkey blew my mind. I guess it's also the fact that your brain wants to keep the pattern going.

Thanks one again 👏🏾👏🏾
No problem!
This is one reason that I like mixing on the canvas. It forces you to work within the colors you’ve already blocked in.
Can't wait to start drawing bodies that look good. TYSM😊
Bro i cannot thank you enough, you managed to teach me more than i expected.

i never realised the first shade until u pointed it out tahys so cool
Holy this helped so much
you reallt give the best tips
You should also use an airbrush and put a bit of pink/red on the edge of the shadow, while lowering the opacity. Learned that from March brunet
to fix the mistake, use a multiply layer and use those colors
i like to think about it like double shading because you basically make general shadows then go back to add shadows in the shadows for more ✨depth✨
Me after the chess board example
"My brain ain't braining"
this is a great tip
i like your art
“Brighter than the surroundings” is a pretty good cue
My brain exploded. Always forget this.😊
tbh the first one has its charms

Shading and colouring is tricky...
Oh my god, I see this mistake everywhere. I knew it looked wrong, like everything was shiny plastic, but I didn't know why.
i understood what you said perfectly but at the same time that end bit had too many repeating words for my brain
this is something I've had to relearn on 16 separate occasions, and is the sole reason to practice your values.
Never forget to practice the fundamentals yall
😅 i dont like the flat and solid color of the clothes, dont let see the shadow but just a litle
All of these surely would have been helpful to some degree. When i wouldn't have given up on drawing. Still interesting to know.
Holy shit. The original shading is what I instantly clock as bad but I never knew how subtle the difference between that and proper shading is.
I subs you since you made a video about anatomy and perspective, now you focusing on color and shade😅
THANK YOU I NEED3D THIS
This unlocked something
Shes just got built in ambient occlusion
i like your funny words magic man!!!!
This one was a jumpscare when the video looped and it switched the right one with the wrong one.
That's why l like digital
Insted of redrawing you can use redacted layer and mask
Thanks to pointed it out
I think proko once said it like "The darkest light is always going to be brighter than the brightest shadow, and vice-versa"
Bro i cant even get to the point where i can draw bodies that well, i think ill save this video for later cuz im not even close!
Can you talk about inking? Feathering stuff
This is very useful, hmm indeed, very useful🌚
Glad I could help!

Hiii could you make a tutorial on how to draw chubby bellies? I have a few chubby characters that I always struggled to draw their actual body types

Those types of optical illusions piss me off so much
I just make a separate "light to dark gradient" layer and a shadow layer.
I mean for realism sake yes, but the first one still looks cool as a more abstract art Piece

It let's you check the values, so it's easier to see if a color is too bright or too dark
