Introduction to COLOR THEORY

- What is color theory? How do digital artists think about color? Color is hard to get your head around, but I'll show you the steps I took to try to learn to use color more effectively. Learning about hue, value, saturation and chroma will make the process of applying color easier to understand.

Where can i find devin videos?
Very cool idea to make your brush a donation thing! If you ever have problems with making enough from ads and stuff, I don't think anyone would complain about a "donate for art materials here and there" system, if it helps you to keep giving amazing advice like this for free!
_But hey, that's just a theory, a colour theory! Thanks for watching!_

Going to miss him a lot
rip matpat, you won't be forgotten
*Thanks for painting!
=)
If Matpat was an artist.
4:40 SO THAT'S WHY MY DESATURATED PINKS LOOK BLUE, AND DESATURATED YELLOW LOOKS GREEN ON RED!
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
Second comment here, yes this is true, baller, this is my final message, goodbye
Color theory is alot of information that overwhelms me; I'm the type of person who can't read straight instructions....I need it broken down, not to mention have visuals so I can ask questions. Sometimes I feel so dumb 😔
No need to feel dumb! like others here, you're learning new things. People learn in different ways, maybe visuals and simplicity is key for you! Regardless of how you prefer to learn things, that doesn't make you stupid, you're just unique!
@@apretzel3373 thanks for that 🙂
Oh I have the same problem. Online text-based tutorials are bloody painful sometimes cause I swear I follow em word for word and something gets screwed up somehow. I dont think its being stupid; its just our brains learn in different ways.
@@Bladebrent I know when she started explaining the different types (hue, saturation and such), I could literally feel myself spacing out; I understand those as they're the basics, but the further she went I grew more and more overwhelmed.
Haha that's what I struggle with when learning, only reading or hearing won't be enough. I like to see how things are done (like a mix of practical + visual learning), it makes me understand more.
I sh*t you not. I mysteriously woke up 20 mins earlier than I normally do and lo and behold. A new Pikat video. My body is tuned to consume Pikat content.
The part where you're walking yellow down to blue actually took me back to high school art classes, to concepts I forgot I learned because I haven't practiced or thought about them in so long. I've been bingeing color theory videos lately and haven't come across any that reminded me and made things click like that!
Guys watch the damn video before saying first.
Why ?
THANK YOU. none of these "Firsts" are genuinely learning anything. Ive been excited for these videos as i wanna refresh my knowledge- my FIRST reaction??
TAP THE VIDEO AND WATCH!!
@@pqpodeioojhin7531because i said so:)
nah
Im getting lobotomy kaisen flashbacks ever time i see the word nah
I'm most impressed by the fact that you are asking for so much feedback. That's something I feel like I need to do too, but I'm scared 😭
Same but I wouldn't even know who to ask!
I mean theyre getting actual useful constructive feedback from professionals. Most people are just going to get "roasted" by randoms.
Its different to be in a discord server with Riot artists bruh ur tarded if you don't take opportunity of that
The chroma part was a surprise. Extremely useful. Now I won't be scratching my head on why my colors aren't popping or popping out too much.
no joke this was like the only video about color theory that i ACTUALLY understood from beginning to end, thank you sm
Gawd damnn, the edit switching from the color wheel to the vinyl record once the music hit was fuckin’ killer
Two things that taught me the most about color theory: David Briggs's site The Dimensions of Color (the huevaluechroma one) and implementing RGB/HSB sliders for my drawing program. Different color effects are easiest to think of in different color spaces, so I've found understanding how they relate to each other very helpful.
You're the second person I watch to very recently recommend that Light and Color book. I bought it. Now to find time to actually study. TTvTT (Color is soooo hard, thank you for this, your struggle gives me courage to bang my head against this wall.)
Color is one of those things that Ive made progress in and then I realize how much more I have to learn and practice. Chroma was one aspect of color that I hadn’t even been thinking about!
I also really appreciate how you present these videos with your mistakes and your ideas to problem solve and so on. It helps me understand the concepts better and it also helps me to not be so frustrated with my own mistakes.
Wow!! This is the only video where I actually understand the color theory! Thank u sooooo much 😭😭👍
Mf its been only 3 minutes since it was uploaded 💀
@@USERNAMEDONE💀💀
Super human speed
You are one of my favorite youtubers, I love how you explain things, and your mentality about art, love spend time just watching your videos
This youtube art account is less than a year ,quite new , but it consists of great high quality videos and i can easily imagine this account getting a million subscribers and will be one of the favorites youtube creator of artists, since its also entertaining and educational.
I might need to watch this video a few times. Thanks Pikat. I've been hiding in greyscale for a long time.
I love your tutorials pikat, especially the fact that you learn with us!
I remember being there when you talked about chroma on stream and I didn't understand it at all, but this video really helped! I love the way you structure and explain things.
Also, a lot of the times artists make things sound really easy, but once I try them myself they might actually be really difficult and then I feel like a complete failure for not being as good as them LOL, but you always include your own struggles and what you could improve upon and man, that helps so much!
Another compliment goes out to chashuu0 for editing this video because it looks fantastic :3
Here’s a thought to have about color theory: Think of the color wheel, and the saturation square as separate entities.. then try and combine them in different ways if you feel like it!
Quote i thought of by the way: “Not everyone can just live on ambition, or passion alone. That’s why we combine ambition, and or our passion with our thinking. So we can do more than we could ever imagine we could’ve done with passion alone!”
HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE FIRST ACTUALLY HELPFUL COLOR THEORY VIDEO IVE FOUND THANK YOU
amazing video! your streams are so entertaining too. thanks for all the tips :D
i love the term like walking towards blue, it really put it into words, thank u
you are the best new channel i found. absolute fire content and presentation.
6:29 great use of clodsire
Of all the art tutorial vids that don't work great when just listeng only, like a podcast, this sure is one of them
Thank you for making learning digestable and most of all FUN ^^
These thumbnails are so GOOD! Gambare auntie Pikat
Wonderful video that you've created. Explains in a hyper simplified formatting which provided me with much insight onto this topic, which of many that I have not grasped as of yet although for the fact that I myself am not that fabulous of an artist or anything of the sort, but I am indeed taking steps forward with help from people similar to you in the vast community. Thank you for taking in the time to aid others in understanding this concept. ❤
I LOVE YOU PIKAT I NEEDED THIS VIDEO
That thumbnail is unbelievably cursed, also GREAT VIDEO!! It's really helped how I think about color!
This is so incredibly useful!!! Thank you for sharing!!
YOUR VOICE IS SMOOTH its actually calming hearing
I can see big improvement on these studies versus something like your last frieren illustration, in such a short time! congrats
Colors are always interesting to learn about... Even if I'm not an artist myself, this was helpful and I have a few friends that I can share this to!
1:19 i lovve this song 😖
New pikat video yay
9:13 *aggressively pats*
THATS JUST A THEORY, A GAMEEE THEORY. Thanks for watching
Your videos are so fun!
Been following you on twitter for a while and just found out that you have twitch and youtube now too. Thank you for the amazing tutorials!
I'm really glad you emphasised and explained chroma in a way that makes sense, because that's made me realise why I sometimes try to make a colour weaker yet it still feels too strong or gives me a bit of eye strain. For example, it seems if you use a blue or purple of medium value and you don't want it to stand out in a low saturation work, you really have to desaturate it big time. If you dont, the chroma of it will kind of stand out, but you wont really recognise it because you are technically using a low saturation blue. I'll have to experiment and investigate more to make sure I know exactly what I'm talking about, but this has put the idea in my mind and given me something to go on. Most videos kind of gloss over chroma like its not important and it leads to us ignoring a big part of the picture whenit comes to colour balance so i appreciate this.
This helped me so much
I'm gonna use this video to do a color study this weekend so I'll come back with an update in like 3 or 4 days from now
Doing gods work, thank you
Great video!!! I'm not even an artist i just like hearing you talk
this helped me so much, thank you!!!!!!!!!
i've seen a lot of color theory videos, and it's the first time i hear about chroma, is an interesting phenomenom
your practices are so encouraging, I really needed to practice more and seeing your work has helped me tons, thank you :)
also ugh hate how AI slowly makes internet useless, can't trust stuff you find on a search engine anymore!!!
Legendary video big thanks for the knowledge
Great video, I'm not an artist myself but one of my favorite activities is admiring digital art of others and their styles. You all put so much effort into this just to please eyes of others, that's also one of the reasons I despise AI generated art.
And that burger art looked extra nice!
Ahhh, nothing beats reviewing the good ol’ foundamentals with Pikat!
4:44 Really thank you very muchhhhh..... love you. keep drawing
Applying color theory is imo essentially utilizing optical illusions to make things look appealing - color relativity wih the greys on the blue and orange squares are the easiest and best trick to harmonious colors in a painting, both digitally and traditionally. I love using grays/low saturated tones for bounce light or reflected light instead of blues (im a blue hater). I have painted using the Zorn palette both in oils and in clip studio and they work awesome for skin tones in both mediums.
Hue shift in my understanding is that hue usually shift toward yellow in lighter area and shift toward purple in darker area. This apply mostly to daytime sunlight.
Walking through color is a new idea for me. Will probably try to apply that when I have a chance.
I love the art on the thumbnail
When I wanted to take up art as a hobby, I had a hard time going from thinking about it like a scientist to thinking about it like an artist
I’m also very mathematically minded in how I think. How did you go about bridging that gap?
God, chroma always has me overthinking when I try to plan values in a piece. Definitely something I want to get more familiar with so I don't get trapped in color picker hell lol
good video pikat
I cant, her videos are too good
I've been waiting for so long. Now I can finally rest.
This thumbnail goes hard 🦑✨great video
0:30 appreciated
One never stop learning about color theory
I like to think of warm and cool as: If you desaturate a warm color, it gets cooler, if you desaturate a cool color its gets warmer. Also a good thing that I would add to this video is that if you desaturate a color it gets lighter in value and vice versa!
That was so helpful!! Could you probably aslo introduce us to values? 😇
I recommend everyone go buy one of those lil color wheels, it has *everything* you need. I keep one on my desk and use it for picking colors.
my head hurts... i dreaded the moment i try to apply this in practice
When she said walk towards blue... i damn near lost my mind...... it was like it finally all clicked into place. The sky was orange because the blue sky had walked that far towards the yellow sun........................................................................................ meaning there was that much light defusing behind the clouds it appeared as it did. *mind explodes*
I can't see 3D, I can only imagine it (which obviously doesn't always work). So I have to learn color theory more intensive to find a good middle ground... or at least make my artwork more appealing despite not seeing and/or understanding what i'm doing.
Thank you for the video.
YES PIKAT!
I'm glad I subbed to your channel. That is all~
I feel so dumb because only today i learned about chroma and i try to keep my values as high contrast as possible. Great video you're so real for stealing from ai
1:18 VOCALOID MENTIONED
Talk about pencil configurarion would be cool. A paint pencil/ sketch pencil/final line pencil etc...
DIS VIDEO AMAZING
best art teacher in TH-cam 🔥🔥
Very easy to comprehend video on color theory. Keep up the good work!
criminally underrated
Love your videos *-*! Could you please make a video related to gesture/figure drawing? Massive thanks 🌺
ngl the blue and yellow bit explains the infamous internet dress so much
my knoledge expands
yo pikat can you make a vid on how to draw character in perspective? also i want to start learning anatomy but idk where to start
I hate how google search has been utterly ruined by how much it boosts ai images. I’m back to going to the library or specific Pinterest boards when I want to find good references.
8:34 omg, i run into this problem all the time! and i honestly hate when that happens
sorry about the unrelated question, but im trying to learn from how you approached your art senpais for help. I struggle so hard with anxiety and i don't know how to network with other professional artists, it's a weird question to me because i feel like there's an obvious, normal, common sense answer that non anxious people can't see
The chroma thing brok e my brain.... 😮
Good old colour theory (I need therepy)
Suddenly everything about colour makes so much sense....
The AI shit got rent free inside my head, I can't believe it
THE IMAGE EVEN HAD THOSE WATERMARKS FROM PHOTOGRAPHY PICS, WHAT THE HELL
fuwa is a super hero
Great thumbnail
I've learned it in school so many tomes but I suck at remembering it.
it's obnoxious how much ai generated stuff is on adobe stock now. there's a setting to turn it off but even then stuff that's clearly (and even claims to be!) ai generated slips through. but anyways, the color study process looks fun and i think i may try to figure out recreating that brush in procreate since it looks nice
very goog
imagine if TH-cam made it too where your can only comment if you watched the entire video
thnk
Aside your drawing skills, your voice is very nice.
Man I can barely draw in black and white (digitally), much less color! I'll leave a like and save this for later.
