as someone who loves sage green i am dissapointed
As a Balla, I agree with you
Grass and backgrounds start to vanish, also I will on purpose use that green now to make drawings pop
I want to see an animation of Marcel fighting the color green
“Do NOT paint with green.”
Grass: well I’ll be damned
All grass is dried out and yellow now
or its an AU where everywhere we use grass there is only dessert *nods*
@@st4r3_meso instead of grass you have cake and ice cream?
@@lucio-ohs8828 obviously its much more fun that way + it wouldn't need to be an au otherwise
instead of grass we have white voids lol

AWW BUT ITS MY FAVORITE COLOUR
Well, he forbid it, sooo...
Me too bro
😂
That was my first thought
Green is not a creative color
I think out of everything I’ve learnt in art, colour theory has to have the *steepest* curve from learning to applying. It sounds like common sense when you’re learning it, but when you try to apply it you always feel like there’s just something off about the final piece.
I guess if you just accept that you'll always learn something new this doesn't bother you as much.
I just came to terms that my art will never be perfect; I just draw and paint for fun.
Makes ya looking forward to learn new stuff.
Time to learn the gray versions of colors
well that's a good pace, actually! when you don't know it from practice or intuition but you know the theory you are a step ahead in the learning process, especially in observation of other artworks, noticing and correct mistakes, and having a set of rules and goals. What's left comes from practice
@@DrawlikeaSirI see no difference between art that applies colour theory and art that does not
@@diamondmemer9754 All art and artists use color theory instinctively. It's only how conscious it is that differs. So an artist that uses it should be able to improve their painting, but isn't necessarily better than a genius using it instinctively.
It's kinda crazy how ugly green can look on drawings while the green in nature is absolutely gorgeous
Shiny Pokemon have taught me how awful unintentional green can be

I clicked on this video just to see if someone commented the thing and I was not disappointed. Thank you🎉
I love combining green with pink. It gives such a lovely spring vibe
It's my favorite combo too! It can also look ghostly if played with right
YEE ITS SO PRETTEH

SAME they are both my favorite colors
One thing worth mentioning: not all shadows have cold color temperature and not all highlights have warm color temperature. If your scene involves blue light from a computer monitor and sickly yellow wallpaper and beige carpet, highlights are going to be cyan or blue, and shadows are going to be brown.
When drawing a landscape with snow, highlights and shadows will both be cool. Ä warm tone will make it looking like sand or, even worse, like pee in the snow...
What it does mean is that if it's the highlight and shadow of *the same object* then the highlight will be more yellow and the shadow more blue.
@@japanpanda2179 No. Being more yellow or more bluish is not a rule, it depends on the object and the light source.
Shifting the hue allows you to do shading while maintaining saturation. Mixing in black, white, or gray cuts back the saturation and makes the resulting image less vibrant. Intentionally cutting back the vibrancy of areas outside the focus of the image can have value to make the vibrant focus more prominent in the image but if you're not doing that intentionally it can be a problem. Green is tricky because it is THE color we are most sensitive to.
We're actually most sensitive to yellows, oranges, and reds.
@@pendlera2959Yeah I was gonna mention that. Heck, even blue we’re more sensitive to
I'm just going by a graph in my undergrad work they presented in a computer graphics class. They graphed the sensitivity of the different cone types of the human eye and the green cones had the highest peak. The point they were trying to make was there was another small peek of sensitivity from the red cones in the high frequency range that is how our color perception becomes a wheel rather than a line. I can't seem to find that graph online, however.
I also heard it mentioned in an evolutionary context that not only are the green cones most active in the green region of the spectrum but both other types have some sensitivity as well. The reason they speculated was that at some point in the evolution of our eyes they were in a forest environment where there was a lot of green so being able to finely distinguish different greens could have been evolutionarily advantageous.
I'm far from an expert and can't find good references, so it's not something I'd argue too hard about, though. This is just what has been presented to me.
@@awollangk Watched the video and still have no idea why green in particular is problematic; he just talks about warmer/cooler version of colours which can be applied to any hue? This comment is the closest I could find to something that might clarify it for me

I got scared by the thumbnail, and then as I watched I've never felt so relieved lol
This is providing me a much better understanding about color theory and the way you taught it is so much easier to understand! Thank you for this great video!
And amazing artwork too!
6:20 The shadows are more blue not necessarily because they lack the warm sunlight, but because the sky's ambient light, which is the only light that reaches the shadow, is blue. That is the contrast. Even in the color picking you did, the color is closer to the "but it looks more like" than the actual color you show for the shadows. They are colder, it's not just an illusion
This editing is going absolutely insane this video
I agree
Fr
For me, this is the easiest and most relaxing color to work with
yeah green is the black of evil. at least you can admit
The bounce light you refer to is known as "reflected light" in the traditional art world and "ambient occlusion" in the digital art world. Just in case that helps anybody with search terms
Nobody ever explained shading with color in a way that clicked in my brain except u. I finally get it! Base color changes to warmer and brighter hue for light...and changes to cooler and darker hues for shadow. U made it sound so simple! Thank u!
if you wanna get wild you can also do it the other way around
@@ghostt4163 How so?
Also,, what the MOOD OR SEASON you’re going for drastically changes how you should approach highlights/shading,, as colder lighting is in the winter and warmer for warmer months.
also remember a color's "temperature" is always relative to the colors surrounding it.
@@mistery8363 yes!,
Something really fun I’ve found with making a more olive green using color context is using a dark, muted yellow. you’d be surprised how far you can shift it towards orange on the color wheel while it still looks green, I love color theory
Even my botanical art books shun "green out of the tube". It's not workable to get to an organic green compared to using your warm and cool primaries. I read that more recently. Farther ago, I painted a watercolor onion stem/root/flower. It was a mistake to try using green and muting it.
Color theory is something I’m still working on so vids like these are a godsend, thank you Sir Marcel 🙇🏾♀️
Not sure where I got the tip, but to me it made sense: shadows tend to be “blue” (or a blue-ish color) because they are bouncing the sky color. (which means night shadows would tend towards purple-ish. and indoor shadows would not be blue-ish, but i guess thats more of an advanced topic)
They aren't bouncing the sky color. They just look bluer in comparison to the warmth of the light source. It's like that optical illusion where the same color looks different when surrounded by different colors: a neutral shadow color will always appear to lean towards the opposite of the light color if the local color of the shadow is the same as the lit areas.
@@pendlera2959 I mean, sure. Ambient light reflection is a thing, but even if the real reason is an optical illusion, it still is a good mnemotechnic, right?
I have looked at many colour theory tutorials. All go about triads, square scheme, analogous in great detail... but none of them explain how to make they work. Your theory is simpler but makes more sense. Thanks!
I think part of the problem is that green takes up a massive section of the color space and unless you really think about what you're doing, you can apply a green from the wrong part of the spectrum entirely, thinking that what you're doing makes sense because we have the same word for various shades between hues of about 50 and 175 (though not all shades in that range) compare: orange, which is specific shades between hue about 10 and 40, or red, which is really only for specific shades between hue 350 and 15. The fact that green can just gobble up a quarter to a third of the color wheel means someone could use a green that's a quarter to a third of the color wheel off. If someone uses the wrong orange and gets the hue off by 10, that's gonna be a lot less noticeable than it they use the wrong green and get the hue off by like 50.

Don't you mean Michael lol
The editing is nuts. Crazy improvement
Man, never thought of colouring like this.. Amazing as ever sir!
Since i discovered you, i've became better at drawing. Im aware of your efforts put on each video and i really appreciate that😃 thank you Ramon
Your humor with perfect explaination is such a good combination 😭🙏🔥 KEEP IT UPP ‼️‼️
This actually helped a lot. I had this one character with a mix of vibrant blues and greens without any real shading, but this helped me realize what colors need to go where in the context of the character and helped improve the characters overall vibe, thanks so much!
Beautiful and informative video, I can also see the effort on making it! Thank you SIR!
You can also mix complimentary colors like red and green to get natural looking grey
I've never seen your channel before but the production quality on this video is incredible, and the content super helpful. Maybe you'll help me finally crack color!
Another GOATED video. Marlboro knows just perfectly how to present a subject and be both concise and detailed about it.

I've been waiting for you to drop a video idc what its about I'll watch it
Havn't seen one of your vods in a while, love the editing
Love these videos, they help a lot. Thank you 😊
I am really inspire by u , no one put this kind of effort in youtube art videos , I wanna be like you❤
Perfectly explained as always🔥🔥🔥
Your videos are so high in quality and good tips that I will even add comment to initial like you asked for. Thank you for video :)
This was an extremely detailed and concise explanation on color theory! Thanks!
Love art and manga going to be creating my own manga very soon. Love your style of drawing you are so talented and thank you for inspiring me and others.☺❤
Your tutorials are amazing
What a nice video. There is something magic about dappled light and the art showed it so well
If you use it as a light casting on an object use maroon or purple reds in your shadows and it’ll look right, for digital artists this effect works best as a vivid light layer where the ‘shine’ like white spots on rubber is yellow and even lighter in tone, blending it over round surfaces is nice you’ll get amazing shiny looks. But yeah he’s right no color theory makes green sickly or alien
The editing is incredible
I have trouble colouring my artwork, though the drawings are pretty good. Thank you for helping people on colour theory.
Hello Sir. I have just paused the video to come down here to tell you that what you're doing here is just amazing. The way you teach and the production/editing value this video has is incredible. I have been subscribed for a long time, but if I could, I would do it again. Keep up the amazing work, my man ✨
your absolutly right
Yesterday i finished a drawing which had so much green in it and i used several ,,versions" of it. I think I did a good job, but I'll try again something similar after watching this video, cause I know that after I watch it and practice it, it'll be better😄. You did a reeeeeealy good job explaining and editing the video!😄
Great tips. For me, at this point, it wouldn't help me much, because I'm creating an environment from another planet in which the atmosphere is different colors, so I'm in a big struggle to get some convincing looking scenery
Same, but I'm creating a world underwater and reds-yellows gets filtered first when light enters water so green gets shifted to the warmest color I can realistically use. His "don't color like this it's amateur" edit is EXACTLY what I'm trying to go for 😭
dude, i was just working on a jungle artwork, the timing is impeccable.
Thank you!! I enjoyed this video a lot, and helped me understand how to paint foliage better :)

I have been waiting for years for someone to talk about this. I thought I was crazy for hating green
Sap Greeen is one of my most important oil paints. It brightens up dull areas, but I use it in small doses. That is the key.
You managed to hit me very hard with your knowledge and I'm grateful for that 💪

My congrats, I subbed!
Such a high quality montage and you see it from the intro, plus you seem to have a lot of tips I need to refresh 20 years after art school, since I'm playing with colors in an unusual way here, and I felt totally lacking of a scheme about how I compose. I have kind of an instinct that sometimes gives horrific results sometimes works, but in both cases I'm not getting why, and this is annoying and I'm sub-learning what I'm doing.
So the Almighty TH-cam Algorithm sent me here to be enlightened with the holy power of making things vibe (almost...literally lol) the way I want!
You know, I was always wondering: I want to paint this, I know which color it is (e.g. green), why should I use any other hue? You were the only one who could answer that question, in simple words and clear demonstrations.
peak video quality right here!
the intro is just so DAMN good

very helpful and informative video
I literally just finished doing the green glaze. Thank you very much. Now I have to start over.
Highlights are warmer because they're hit by the sun, and shadows are lit by the sky making them blue.
That only applies outdoors during daytime in theory, but you can apply it elsewhere for effect.

Thank you for another video And I will continue to support you carremel :)
i was watching video for my ui/ux design about color and from morning im watching lots and lots of video about color and then i found ur video which is really helping me for understanding about color and yah im learning a lot from ur video and fun fact i used to do drawings but i leave because i was not good with coloring but now ig ill start drawing again because im getting it now how to use color and where to use it thanks for that bro ❤❤❤❤❤

great video AND EDITING!!!
Fun fact: the Sun is a Green star, but since stars emit a range of colours, all green stars look white instead. Red stars are colder and Blue stars are the hottest. Humans switched hot and cold because when we first started heating stuff, it glowed red, and we could never heat it up enough to glow blue, some 5 to 10 thousand degrees.
Logically itd be more likely that humans associated those colors because to warm people are flushed red and cold and/or dead people are cold
In Islam, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)‘s favourite colour is Green!
I tend to put basic colors down and then add a tint of blue yellow or red depending on if it's light, blood circulation or shadow.
Your always so helpful 😁
I never touched green
HELP 💀 🤣
this video was very interesting to me, I'm not a great artist by any means (only a few thousand followers) and I'm pretty much entirely self-taught and know nothing of color theory but I already do all the things mentioned in the video just because it "looks better", now I know why I do these things! I'm sure this'll help me in the future! ...I should probably take some art classes someday lol
Please don’t place your value as an artist on how many followers you have. Being a good artist doesn’t make someone good at social media, and being good at social media doesn’t make someone a good artist. They’re almost the antithesis of each other. One requiring consistency and conformity, while the other requires spontaneity and creativity
@@juliasugarbaker9032 well that's all very fair... but there is no way to really express my actual "value" as an artist through words, whilst the amount of followers I have is a very easy concept for others to get a general idea of it
I never really understood color theory but this video absolutely enlightened me, thank you.
Getting more better in editing
Really good video, Asir
Great video! Could you do one with tips on painting on canvas? I got as a gift a big canvas and I'm afraid for ruining it. I also got some oil paint, so maybe a video about that too? Thanks for so great content and have a nice day/night!
WOW the animation in this one was epic! Its always awesome tho
Now I see what type of paint it is! TY again!
It's just amazing how he does it.....
Your traditional painting skills are ridiculously good. How did you learn to paint and render like that?
At this point your video making and editing skill are being more impressive than your tutorials.Thank you.
