      He’s wrong though.
      Ambient color isn’t real.
      He means Reflective light.
      And he isn’t explaining anything about color theory, temperature, atmospheric perspective, light theory and it’s relationship to color theory and is literally failing your right now.
      He DID say he was lazy sooooo sure. Do you booboo
      PS
      That’s too long to go to any school and not learn the basics. Get your money all the back.

      @irlporygon-z6929 4 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      well i mean there's perfectly good reasons to think that, since all the lineart is _darker_ it looks like there's more ambient occlusion on that side of the face, and of course that would only occur in a shadow. trying to make the right side look like a shadow and still preserving the idea that there is generally less visual information in areas of shadow, while using only lineart with no other separation of values, might require a more stylized approach with larger shapes of solid black. there's probably other methods for it. either way, the way it was depicted just doesn't strongly convey that.

    something I love to do with shadows is use as many colors as possible. blues and violets as the darkest, reds greens and oranges as the mid tones, and pale pinks, yellows, and some hints of white as my full light. makes for a fun effect (but I prefer it in sunlit pieces.)

  • @U.Inferno
    @U.Inferno ปีที่แล้ว +16

    In the middle of your less details in shadows talk I realized something and dug through my portfolio to find one of my better pieces of art, a charcoal figure drawing. When I drew it our professor gave us the limit on only working with a single value of shadows, let the entire shadow be complete darkness and try to define the figure from there. Looking at it now, I realize that's why I consider it one of my better pieces. It's a very simple piece, but it does a lot with very little

    00:18 🖌️ Focusing on detail in shadows: Less detail in shadow areas creates a more painterly and adaptive effect, enhancing visual aspects like lighting interplay and tones.
    03:30 🎨 Shapes in shadows: Treat shadows as design elements, creating simplified and appealing shapes. Combine and simplify shadow shapes for a cohesive look.
    08:52 🌈 Shadow color and ambient light: Shadow color should reflect the ambient color of the environment, considering bounce light for a realistic portrayal. Avoid using dull grey shadows.

    Great tips! I recently did a digital portrait that I picked specifically because half of the face was lost in shadow. I love the style of detail lost in shadows.

    Another tip for outdoor shadows: the longer the shadow, the more blue it should be.
    When the sun is overhead, the color temperature will be around 5600 degrees Kelvin (K). When the sun is on the horizon, the direct sunlight will go down to around 4200K (almost as amber as incandescent lighting) but the shadows will shoot up to around 9500K, which is nearly pure blue.

    Can you do a video on finding ambient light? Most rooms and reference photos I find are not completely red or completely green ambient lighting, and the subjects I would like to paint aren't blank white cubes and spheres so how do I apply this concept to more detailed and complex objects with various colors?

  • @scarlet8078
    @scarlet8078 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, thx. When I'm working on a painting and things start to look "off" or the skin looks "dirty" it's often bc I need to remind myself to make the shadows more consistent with the ambient light. It's one of those things you don't notice as much in stylized work but in realism it really sticks out like a sore thumb

      I get that when using OBS to stream/record and the brush size is small, OBS makes it larger, however he doesnt see it that way on his screen, only on the output video

    I really needed this, I find myself getting caught up with technical accuracy for shadows but it's both easier and more fun to try and take aesthetic appeal into account for them while getting enough accuracy so it doesn't look off.
