      @@savannah5731 Sorry for the late reply! I have been jumping between Sketchbook, Adobe Fresco and Procreate. They each seem to have their own pros/cons. Sketchbook for product sketches, Fresco for realistic paint and vector work. Procreate for everything else. I think I prefer Procreate the most; it feels most intuitive with the iPad, but it doesn't have some disappointing limitations like lack of vector and artboard boundary restrictions ✌️

    I just watched a UA-cam video where they said just extract a color pallette from a photo, but you went hella in depth on this going scientific with it. You even broke a misconception I had about cool shadows/warm light that was hindering my ability to select the right colors. Thank you so much! I feel a lot more comfortable selecting colors and being creative with them instead of feeling restricted.

    I have heard of sub-surface scattering and refracted light before, but it made my head hurt when I saw explanations of it and why they were important for artists. With this video, I was able to understand those factors a lot more clearly, and how to use them in the future when I add color to my digital and painted works. I even learned a lot of new things, like specularity. I’m really glad I came across this video! Good job and thank you, Lucas!

Now I'm really enlightened. When I taught myself art, I observed every object around me in light and shade. But I would have never broken away my fear to paint in color and would have never got the idea unless I saw this video. Thank you again!

  • @bluemazestudio9645
    @bluemazestudio9645 2 роки тому +3

    the theory of using cool shadows is not based on comparing warm vs cool but because thge flesh is naturally warm and the skin without natural light becomes dull which means you mix a complimentary which is usually a cool color. Painters exagerate the cool color to interact with a warm color which enhances it. It is a suggestion, yet it's a suggestion that makes alot of sense. It will also stop your portraits from looking monochromatic.
