ok, boring as hell..
can u pin me now pls
maybe
hell fucking yeah
Joel well I don't really expect my tutorials to be romantic comedies
what's even the point of these kind of comments? i found this video amazing, i've been trying to teach myself digital art and drawing and your videos are my new holy grail, thank you so much Ahmed!
why else would you comment on a video? FOR THE PINNNNNN
"You can make an entire painting using these 3 colors"
You can. I can't.
Get creative!
Art can be monochrome. Considering the leisure of 3 colors, if you are creative you definitely can. Probably takes some discipline though. I suck at art.
not with that attitude
Lmao 😂
He meant using three colors, with different saturations on it. Professionals use 2-5 colors and just change the saturations
The way you said "I went to art school" was hysterical
right right??
Is going to art school. Has to learn this stuff from youtube :'(
Ashleigh Davis i feel u man i feel u
Vania Saragih do you go to the Art Institute? If you do I totally get it lol
Ashleigh Davis I'm wanting to go to Art school... Should I? Do you learn from the ground up or should I already know, and be talented at art? Cause I SUCK ASS, and I want to learn.. And I want to get better but I'm so scared and nervous about calling and finding out.. Is art school even worth it? Or should I keep doing TH-cam tutorials? LOL
the shadow is halfway to black OK THIS CHANGED MY LIFE THANK YOU MAN
Elyssae saaaame c':
IKR
Same!
Can relate
lmao yes it's not a lot of tips but now I get why my colors look so wrong xD I can fix a bit of that, at least~
It's so rare to find a digital color tutorial with tips that actually make sense and are realistically applicable, thank you so much I can't wait to watch more!
"I went to art school." That was probably one of my favorite parts of this video.
why?
If you explain the joke it loses it's funnyness
Alexey Saranchev oh it was a joke..?
+Austin Peewwaarss Pretty sure it's because art school doesn't teach you anything.
@@ikellkowz4foon856 no it's because it sounds pretentious
Your voice makes these so relaxing to listen to and watch.
Lusamine it sounds like he's whispering to me, i like it but, i seem to expect a jumpscare at any moment haha!
I legit fell asleep watching this cause it was just so soothing ahhhhh
it gives me ASMR vibes
I have to list you as one of my inspirations now.
Ahmed Aldoori :D. Your videos are in my inspiration play list.
ghost59able Samee more than one of these videos seriously helped.
Your patience and ability to explain step by step while you're working is rare and appreciated. Thank you. Please make more, and consider a basic/just getting started with a tablet PS tutorial?
I never really liked magenta until just now. That palette is _gorgeous_.
It has taken me 3 semesters of art classes to get the same knowledge in this video. I, of course, don't discredit school; I probably would not understand it all without prior experience. Either way, you've done a great job at explaining effective color relations!
That's you in the avatar? How often did you get the "Can I paint you?" pickup line while attending that class?
That small color palette painting is better than all of my drawings
😂 😂 😂 😆 I know right?
Ngmi
You, sir, are a gift. Thank you. :) This helped me understand things in a way that I couldn't grasp until right now. I probably spent about two and half hours repeating portions, taking notes, and practicing alongside the video, and I really want to go fix every painting I've made up to now. lol.
This video came at the perfect time for me. I've been trying to figure out colour harmony for weeks, even asking some of the artist I admire for help but I never got a straight answer. I found your channel a few days ago and then you post a video that explains it perfectly! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this, it was unbelievably useful.
If possible could you make a video about rendering? I work in a very cartoony style so I tend to put everything on it's own layer but this is something I want to stop doing as I branch out into fully illustrated pieces rather than characters standing in white space.
I want to keep my cartoony style but have more natural, painterly colouring rather than relying on cell shading but, using the character you painted in this as an example, I would have no idea how to start rendering that after laying down the initial colour scheme.
trial & error
"Hey…It's a traffic light…*hysterical laughing*…okay…"
43:40 that's how you end a TH-cam video :D
Zerofever my favorite XD
"...at 2 am."
Hi, I'm sorry if my english sucks, but I wanted to thank you a lot for this. I really love digital art but its so difficult to me create things and somehow "give them life" but you, thanks to your videos I have been learning a lot, and I really hope, in a far away future xD be such amazing like you. Thank you a lot!
Romina Villagra Your English is pretty good, where are you from? (I speak Spanish tho)
me: (literally watching this in order to color a ffxv fanart)
you: "screw you ffxv"
me: >:O!!!!!!!
...
me: (hesitantly keeps watching bc this the most beautiful and helpful tutorial I've seen today)
7 years later and this short tutorial helped me brush up on color so much. Thank you. This is awesome and I am going to devour all your content.
1 year cumulative of Color theory courses, and this is what makes the most sense out of all of them. Thanks for breaking it down and showing the practical applications!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS there are hardly ANY coloring tutorials on TH-cam, plenty of others, but not these. And the few that do exist don't give any tips or advice, and most fly through by speedpainting faster than a bat outta hell. I don't need to watch fast forwarded footage when I'M LEARNING. This is 43 whole minutes I can saturate from. Many thanks.
"halfway to black" is the most helpful coloring tip ever. I mean, I guess I knew it somewhere in the back of my mind but that simplifies it so well.
I just wanted to say thank you. I have been looking for simple breakdown of colors that compliment each other, and this is the first video i have seen that breaks it down so beginners like me can understand!
Actually I personally love the messiness of your tutorials, they are so natural, which helps to learn even more efficiently. Thanks a lot, keep it up :3 Admire your techniques!
Again, man. I've been going on youtube looking for coloring tutorials but so far, I learnt a lot more from yours than the rest. Thank you!!
This was so helpful! It's like you think you know all these things, but actually you don't and this whole entire world just opened up like whoa. So cool!
Dude I love your tutorial videos omg they actually explain what I always have trouble with in detail. The boing boing boing part had me spitting out my water.
I loved that video. You providing me some guidance on things I have started doing instinctively, therefore with a lot of bad mistakes. Bookmarking this!
I'm pretty early into your Meds Map class but I'm having fun poking around your TH-cam channel as well. You've come so far these last 7 years! It's fun to watch this after watching more current color stuff from you
You were obviously born to teach. I've never watched a tutorial that was so clear and informative. Thanks! Subscribed and looking forward to watching the rest of your stuff.
This tutorial changed my life. No lie! The final part where you color the character and build up color harmony is such a game changer.
16:50 "boing boing boing"
I laughed so much right then that you made my day and earned an instant subscribe. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. I couldn't believe how much I learned from it. Looking forward to more!
I love how you TEACH SOME of us learn differently and your way of instructing is (to use your own word) Organic... I learned so much and loved the flow of how you spread out from the basic ideas. Brilliant (I taught at a university -NOT art ... so I know great when I see them!) But truly, the way you explain is extremely easy for me to follow... perhaps that is because my brain works a certain way. I sure HOPE others feel the same...
Keep up the amazing work... I believe I am learning more from your videos than from many others - in the arts or in any discipline
Thank you sooo much! I watched all your videos. This is really helpful and you are funny so I enjoyed it :DD thank you!
First of all, thank you again for this really good new tutorial video! I'm currently struggling with colors and I think you help me to understand it better and it reassures me that I wasn't completely off the good way to do it.
Eventually, same comment as the last one I've made on another video of yours : I really like the fact that you speak when you paint, instead of accelerating the process. It makes it way clearer. And I like your humour touches.
I'm happy you share with us your knowledge. THANK YOU.
(It is for videos like yours that I'm happy to understand english well enough. Sometimes I feel like there isn't enough good art "teacher" speaking in French on TH-cam... Well... sometimes I think there is not enough good french content on Youtbue. ^^
btw, I hope I'm enough understandable.)
This was really helpful, learned more from this than 10 other videos, keep it coming! :D
I love all of your tutorials so much, I recently just got my first tablet and you've helped me learn so much. I really hope you put out many new tutorials!!! Thank you so much, you're insanely talented.
TH-cam recommended your channel, and this video specifically thank you! Helping me understand better than almost every other tutorial that just throws out speed painting without even doing a real tutorial.
Thanks for all the time you took to do this!
Since I've started dabbling into digital art I've watched this tutorial 3-4 times already and I'll probably watch it sometime in the future again! There's just so much information and it helps me every time I feel stuck with my coloring :)
I would love him to do another updated one of this I think his art has definitely improved over the years thanks again for teaching us!
I really love this video, I just got a digital art tab and have now been thrown into creating the front cover of a yearbook, but youtubers like you really make it understandable and entertaining to learn. Thanx so much! U're a life-saver! :)
Hey Ahmed, great video. I think it's real generous of you to upload this and I thought it was totally clear fyi. It's also nice to know that this was 'live' meaning you were talking as you were painting, makes it feel like a real demo.
this video explained the colour theory and how warm colours are more vibrant when they're lighter and vice versa for dark colours than three years of studying art ever did, thanks so much for this.
The amount of helpful tips that I haven't heard before in this video, plus the deadpan 'k jus, i dunno ,do it it's easy' tone has made this instantly my new favorite art resource. Thank you!
i learned more from this video than any art class i've ever taken....mind blown. Happy i watched it. Thank you
Omg! Thank you so much for this video. I'm starting with digital painting and this is the best tutorial I've seen so far. Totally subscribing
That was really interesting, thank you for this video! Your personality also helps making this really entertaining to watch.
omg i finally found you again T_T i searched you for so long. So many turotials and yours is the only one valid
This brilliance has open my eyes man ! The look of this style is amazing. Thank you so much for the vid!
Thank you for the brushes! I just played with a few of them, love the chain one thats in there, very unique! Your videos are very informative and very similar to my style of artwork, which is awesome. Keep up the good work!
Really enjoyed this, Ahmed. It's really nice to see you talk while doing it instead of seeing a sped of version with a voice over like a lot of other videos. Feels more authentic and gives a better understanding of the process I feel, so thank you. :)
Thanks for the tutorial, I found it extremely informative and entertaining. For some unknown reason I always tought the halfway to black technique only worked to darken values of a single hue haha. You opened my eyes, man. Keep up the good work!
I ohmygod thank you for this tutorial, I've always had such a crappy time with colors, but you explaining the saturation and everything really made sense even to me though its like 3:30 in the morning lol reading through it looks like the video helped a lot of people and idk that's really cool!
I'm definitely going to be more confident next time I color!
Dude. Thank you so much! This is by far the best tutorial on art I have ever listened to... I've been reading books and watching tutorials nonstop for what feels like forever and this just explained it so amazingly. I don't really dig the structured/lasso/cell shading approaches either. They feel so scientific whereas I like that organic approach. When you brought in the fire as an example to really show where it happens in the real world and how to stair step.... I wanted to just fall to my knees and kiss your feet. lmao. It finally all clicked. Now I am off to test it all. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
this was explained better than any of my teachers have ever tried to explain color harmony before thank you so much for this
I'm so glad I found your video. It's gonna be extremely useful for me since I always struggle with the colours. It's actually not that easy to find a tutorial that's not just about 'look at me speedpainting some cool stuff'. So thank you!
Thanks dude, even though I've watched other colour theory tutorials, this one spun it in a different way somehow that made things click a little more. So informative + ended with a smile, great video overall!
If only I saw this two years ago. Great tutorial. It must be one of the tutorial that most covers about colour here on youtube.
Thanks for sharing!
You've done a swell job, it's inspired me to be more bold with my colours!
I learn a lot from your tutorials. Your method and sense of art is creative, flexible and beautiful and you are hell nice and funny as well. Lots of love
THE most helpful video on the subject I've seen. period.
wow I love your work! It's easy to understand and I don't get bored or skip past it even if it is this long. Thank you so much for doing this early in the morning before work :) really appreciate this!
Colors done right is so beautiful!
your tutorials are my favorite ones. they are super helpful!
thanks for your tutorial... as a newbie i usually don't like to watch digital painting tutorial, but watching your videos makes me want to learn more about digital painting
I keep coming back to this. This is info gold
Very talented and enjoyable to watch. Throw in whatever humor the brain wants to throw out, and have yourself a subscriber stampede. Thanks!
Love your colouring style and the organic way you have to do the things, but all of them based in huge color theory knowledge. Thanks a lot for your tutorials! they really help!!
This was incredible! I feel like i just took a $300 course on coloring. this is the second video I watch of yours aaaaand now im subscribed.
This is just great! Thanks for taking the time to do it and share it with us!
dude, you're awesome... with a few strokes you get amazing results, make it look so easy
Hi. I think this is one of the best colour tutorials I've watched. Although your drawing may have been really loose, you explained it pretty perfectly. I couldn't wrap my head around colour. And I've watched tons of vids on the topic. But with this at least I have some tools to go forth. Thank you so much for this upload. Looking forward to loads more. :)
oh man dude you have the chillest voice
legit i was just sat here drawing and zoning out and suddenly you went "its 2am, what am i doing" and i was like same bro wtf
Exceptional. I haven't looked at your other videos yet, but I really hope you have some more like this. Your teaching style is really easy to follow, too. Thanks!
Thank you so much for all this amazing information!!! It really is amazing to see how much theory is behind all this colour thing! Thank you for taking the time and sharing it with us!!!
because having fun and learning along the way SHOULD go hand in hand, thank you for this.
Thanks for the tutorial mate, it's very helpful! You make one of the best tut vids out there. I'm very glad that I subbed you :)
I have learned quite a lot. Thank you very much for this video and passing down the info you have been taught. Its really awesome.
i dont know if im learning anything from this because i draw while i listen. I think im just listening because ur voice is very relaxing and calm. :)
-u make it easier to draw just by talking
HOLY HELL this is so much more an organic and fun way to approach colour and character design!!!
Great tutorial! Your understanding of colors is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
this was great advice! i had so much fun with picking colours and the colours actually looked nice as well
Wow you are such a great artist and an even greater teacher thanks so much!!
Thank You for this! i was so confused on how people painted so well in photoshop. I've never had any art classes and have been trying to self teach myself photoshop and art for awhile all while balancing my college courses.
+Nigel Brian Mashups same! 😅 good luck to you!
keep up the good work man, you are a life saver. even my art school didn't teach stuff like this.... subscribed 😊
I think I just fell in love with your tutorials and your sense of humor D//x
Oh man, what a great video. This answers me a ton of questions, and it was good to see ur working flow and how u build the character. Thanks to youtube recommendations I found my new favorite art channel :). Thanks a lot man!!
just wanted to tell ya all your tutorials are very helpful and so on point, and so far the most entertaining i've watched xD keep being awesome ;))))))
this was really helpful~ showed me where I was messing up with some things, and what to keep doing for stuff I already figured out. thank you very much!
I don't think your explanations are all over the place at all. I find it all super helpful so thank you so much!
This is AMAZING!! I've had so many Eurekas along the video.. you make understanding colors easy!! Will definitely put it to practice today.. :D Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Amazing video! I'm new with this digital art thing...and you just sparked the flame even more! I've learned soo much! This is exactly what I wanted. Thanks! All the best with your stuff!
This is amazing! lol one second I am all serious paying attention to the new information I am getting, then I am laughing out loud watching you play with a digital illustration ball
ubjhaaaaaaaaaaaahhh...... perhaps the most refreshing end to a video i've ever seen. loved this video (especially that ff15 burn)
LOVE HER POSE!!
your medcasts are so good to listen while drawing, keep it up!
I'm so glad I found this channel! Your videos are really helping me :)
Thank you so much for this- I can't wait to try out this technique!
already seen 2 videos from your channel and feels like I've learned a shit ton about color, thanks
Thank you for these videos!! They are immensely helpful!
