Me: “what kind of sorcery is this!”
He’s too dangerous
-to be left alive!
it’s been years since this video came out but i finally took the time to sit down and learn art fundamentals. i know it’s late, but this helped SO MUCH. so thank you!
Better late than never. Keep it up!
I can't find any tutorial on gumroad/youtube etc. that could explain value and value separation better. It's one of this tutorials that will stay with us for years, even decades, and people will watch it multiple times, and refer to it on forums. Great video Clint !
Thanks, that's kind of you to say :)
I agree
For real
Your videos are getting much better! You always were informative, but now you're getting better at talking and presenting these things. Keep it up, I'l continue watching and drawing ^^
Thanks, I appreciate you watching :)
hi
Met Clint in person at a mtg event around the time this was released and he has consistently put out my favorite art in the scene, immaculate in his dedication, thanks for sharing!
I like this new high energy Clint
I love how practical this video was, showing how value can make or break a image like with that mtg card att and it’s edit was great. Nothing gets the point across better than a real example.
This tute has changed my life!! I have just spent the last 2 weeks redoing every project I've been dissatisfied with, to fantastic results. Thank you so much for this tute. I'd love to show you some before and after shots to show the dramatic improvement with attention to basics such as those outlined in this video.
That's awesome and I'd love to see the before and afters! Post them in the group and it may inspire others to revamp some of their older images as well, www.swatches.group
I've always had an appreciation for MTG art, so it's nice to have direction from someone of that caliber.
Love the approach with this series. I'll definitely be watching any future art fundamentals.
Glad you are liking the series, the feedback has been positive and stay tuned as we still have four fundamentals to go!
i'm staying tuned.
I'm gonna watch one video a day from this series
I think the best part of this video is when you show what NOT to do with the image with high contrast everywhere, I think its one of the best ways to teach how to avoid mistakes.
Thanks, I'll see about including more "what not to do" examples going forwards. I appreciate the watch!
An in depth tutoriel of the art fundementals, a important thing to learn in art, 3 years later, si many aspiring artists in the world....surprised there aren't over 1 million views ;w;
For a 3 year video its under-rated, but sir, I thank you for taking time out of your life to teach us the fundamentals
I've seen many tutorials on digital art of "basics", many of them talk over and over again of values, but I've never completely understood about what they're talking about.
Thank you so much for this.
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for these videos !
I have been drawing since my childhood, until I was 15... But you know, a lot of idea, "want to do" but "without being able to do". I wasn't ok at all about failling every time I tried. So I stopped, and I know that I shouldn't have. But.. It was mainly because I didn't have all these 'Art Fundamentals', I think. I'm sincerely hoping that your videos would help me to start again, with the base that I need. I'm 18 now and I want to draw again, with pleasure. I miss to draw, really, and I want to catch up the time I've lost.
Thanks' again Clint. :>
{Sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue.}
Marian, I'm glad the videos have helped inspire you to start drawing again. You are exactly right, many people quit drawing because they don't know the fundamentals and get frustrated from failing. Learn the fundamentals and it makes drawing more fun and less frustrating. You'll feel confident knowing you can approach any subject.
Really loving this Value tips. Especially the Cut Out Filter. Thank you Clint
I actually think I prefer the contrast rich 'fragmented values' version but I do understand your logic. Controlling your value ranges is a good tip though, I'll take it. I really like full range (and always laugh at how much people always say not to use completely white or black hehe, my favorite pics use the full range), but it never occurred to me that I don't have to use it for the entire image, just the focal points. Now I know. This is pretty good stuff, I think I'll subscribe.
This tutorial is so underrated. It has all and simple explanations about values that you need to know. This was so very helful and mind opener.
Thanks!
What a great tutorial. Definately going to become a patreon supporter as soon as exams are over.
Thanks, we'd be glad to have you! Don't forget, you have only to the end of the month to get the March's character lighting reward ;)
one of the greatest teachers lives on this channel Truly you are great Sir #respect#peace
Wow, thanks
I learnt more in this than I do in lessons. Tysm, subbed
I started practicing painting in values recently, and I see the advantages, but I'm having real trouble transferring the greyscale image to colour afterwards. The colours often don't look quite the way I wanted and I'm not sure how to correct them then. Is it just practice?
Adding a color layer over a greyscale layer can get you close but it rarely will give a finished look. Usually it's best to then make a normal layer over that where you do full color painting. I discuss this topic in my video here: th-cam.com/video/8LbQYuV6dng/w-d-xo.html
Try watching sycras video of colour and value it helped me😋
Photoshop have gradient map use it it works .
If youre painting on photoshop, you can add a layer mode on top of your grayscale layer and the colours will go with the grayscale
@@ibrahimahmad2851 what do you mean by layer mode?
I like drawing. I was top 9 mtg Spanish player for a brief moment years ago. I really appreciate your inputs to learn to draw better. I have zero fundamentals. I’m lvl 0/10
Clint actually just says a good summary of value in about 10mins , i rewatched this vid because man i need to get better at fundamentals for sure ^^
thanks again for uploading !
Lot better than other people who say "Tutorial" and it's just a speed painting with some weird wub wub dub step with a chipmunk for the main chorus repeated every 7 seconds. Props man solid video
Thanks!
Solid overview of fundamentals in values and how to think intelligently. Well done🙌
This was great! It's so nice to be reminded of important things that you already kind of know but completely forgot about since there is so much to consider while painting. I'm really looking forward to the next one.
From one Clint to another Clint Thank you your tutorials are a wealth of help!
Glad they could be of help Clint :)
Great stuff. Was looking for something that explained Value, Color and some more fundamentals. Thank you for posting. Great teaching style.
Thanks so much for making these videos, there is a lot I have forgotten. You make great tutorials, plus your painting style is wonderful!!!
Thanks Rebecca :)
Years late but this really helped me out!
I watched many value tutorials but only yours explain the problems well ,thank you so much for very clear tutorial
jesus fucking christ clint, you blew my mind. you've explained it so well , especially with all the photoshop filters tohelp visualize. BLESS.
Values, shadows, lights, tones...Essentials that are my worst weaknesses. Very helpful, tanks.
You got this!
As an aspiring artist, this was very educational. I have read a book or 2 on Value and I couldnt quite understand the differences between lightness and saturations. Also hearing that Value means more to the end result than color was something I had to hear too! Seeing you greyscale that Nissa illustration really allowed me to digest the concept! So I say, thank you for this video! This was the one that made me have my "Ah-Ha!" moment! Cheers mate!
Fantastic! Having a better grasp of values will really boost your image's quality.
Your videos are the best pal. Thank-you so much.
You are very welcome
So many lightbulbs. Thank!
Anybody watching this series should know on this video the sound quality gets much better in the next video... Ride this one out as he is talking about important things in this video.
every beginner artist should watch this
Your videos are so helpful. The really helped me preparing for my art university admission exam.
This is exactly what i've been looking for! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Dude you are unbelievable, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Glad I could help, thanks for watching :)
this is one of the best ways to test your values! thank you so much for this tutorial
Thanks :)

Thanks man, I appreciate that :)
This is one of the best CG tutorial I've ever seen! Terrific!
I stopped in the middle just to buy "Making Nissa" at Gumroad. What a masterpiece!
Greetings from Chile, Master Cearley.
Thanks, I've received such good feedback for the Values episode I'm going to use it as my guide for the future Fundamental episodes. I appreciate you picking up Making Nissa, hope you find it helpful :)
Loving this... you're very straightforward and it's very easy to understand what you're explaining. I appreciate this content very much.
This is Genius!!! Thanks man for making clarity in understanding. Your videos are a gem! Great Value from them!! Cheers!!
Thanks man , very beautifully explained
Thank you so much for this video! The examples and your explation really cleared things up!
Thank you so much for your videos, Mr. Cearley.
best video ive seen on values so far, thank you!
Its pretty late now, but thank you for posting this video! I never thought about seeing things in planes- so il be sure to use it in my next works!!
Glad it was helpful!
Clear, concise, super informative, EXCELLLENT! Wish there was a deeper bigger way to say THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful!
I love the thumbnail! Magic the gathering has some of the most amazing art imo.
Thank you so much, now I can practice better. You explained it so well and I got some great notes from this
Thank you so much for this video.
Now I can finally understand what artists mean with values.
really like this fundamental videos
thanks for the Video. I Just getting started in painting (or digital painting) and in many videos they talk about the Values or the shading but don't show it.
That was pretty great to see the differences and the effect at one and the same picture.
Keep it up.
Glad it was helpful!
i've finally found the art wisdom i've been searching for!
This is such a great video, so clearly and concisely explained! I cannot wait for the next Patreon too, the last one was super useful. Keep up this awesome work as it's MASSIVELY appreciated!
This one is really usefull and easy to understand thanks
Values are so confusing to me. Both of the versions look great in my eyes. Both B&W versions look pretty much the same lol. I guess I'll get it when I'm better.
@Håkan Bråkan Lundberg I agree with everything, but it's important that those choices are conscientiously made and not by an accident or lack of knowledge :D
Thanks for teaching us this fundamentals ⚡️⚡️⚡️
My pleasure!
i'm so glad i came across this channel.
think this is the best youtube intro ive ever seen
The info about fragmented values was great!
Thank you so so much for this! I was struggling with learning about values but this video was soo helpful!! Can't thank you enough 💙💙💙please keep teaching us
Amazing video! Thanks for the subtitle.
Whoaa. You sir, is just incredible, i cant believe how great your art pieces are, i hope to be as good as you someday.
yes...more than anything else in image making...you have to get the values correct to have interesting and successful image...colour is important but secondary. Even if art is not as skilled...a good painting will have good values to make it interesting
Thanks for creating such consistently solid content! This is taking me back to my drawing I and II classes for sure
Very informative video, thank you.
This is a really good fundamental series. I just finished watching it n taking notes of all of the videos, I think they are very straight to the point and theres many good advices. I was just wondering wheres the composition and observation skill videos?
Glad you are finding the series helpful. I haven't made the composition and observation videos though I did make an eBook on composition which is available in the store, www.gumroad.com/swatches
I'm so happy I found you suggested on TH-cam! I'm not in art school so I don't know much about art theory, I'm just going to private lessons. I hope this helps me understand better things that I never thought it was that way. You catched me, explained so good everything. Subscribed right now :)
Welcome to the channel, glad you've found the videos helpful :)
I can't thank you enough for this. I learned so much from this video.
Glad it was helpful!
you are the most underrated art channel
Definitely going to be a video I watch more than once. This is excellent, thank you :)
Thank so much for making this series!!!
This lesson is particularly good.
I needed this for my art class, thanks!
I literally learn so much from your videos! So thankful!
Happy to help!
Thank you so much, I am actually taking notes while watching this series, It actually helps me understand the way art works and how can I improve myself, Just a question, you don't have videos about composition and observation on this series?
I'm so happy that someone literally teaching me about this. Really appreciate your effort.
I have not made videos on composition or observational skills. Not to up-sale you but if you are interested, I did put together an eBook on composition which is available in the store, www.swatchesart.com
I feel like this was really helpful
so I put a bunch of my photos I took of a softball game and put it on Adobe stock to see what would happen and found a photo kept getting bought for some reason. It seems the best "shading" schemes were followed pretty much perfectly there. I had no idea about any of this at the time. Perhaps the idea is to always chase the best recommended shading schemes or it's not "worth" doing.
Really helpful info. I actually was struggling with this issue, which i didn't know about. 🙌 Thank you
You're so welcome!
Another awesome lesson, keep up the good work Clint!
These videos are excellent, informative, well produced, and overall just awesome. Appreciate it!
Would pay for this series. Liked and subscribed.
Wonderful video. I've also bought the "Making Nissa" video on Gumroad and found it immensely helpful.
Much like in this video, you didn't focus on the specifics but, rather, on the general and the fundamentals. I found your delivery very natural and full of little bits of information that really helped me understand why you took certain decisions. I also really liked that you took some time to explain what could have been done better and which stages you thought didn't work so well and didn't just delete the layers that got taken out (such as the light at the base of the image that isn't present in the final product).
It must be at least a bit tempting to only show what went well and not show that even at your level, there are some second thoughts, so I really commend you for walking us through the whole process with humility and generosity.
Thanks!
You Sir, deserve my sub. Nice video. Thanks!
just a tip for you! at the end around "recap", you talked a bit too fast, for me to pick up and understand everything you said.
but I learned a lot from this video! very helpful for me! this will make it easier for me to begin on understanding values and such much better!
jackpot! Perfect timing for an upload.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic explanation! I learned so much, thankyou!
Seriously digging these Art Fundamental series. I'm curious will you be going over the other sections too...Basic Anatomy, Composition, and Observation Skills. Best of luck and thank you for doing these informative videos!
Putting together the Basic Anatomy right now ;)
Love Nissa
Wow such a nice video. It's just so kind that you make that stuff totally free available for us. So much work and so much effort goes in every video. And on top of that you review art from others and give tipps. Without you it wouldn't be half as easy to learn drawing for me. Thank you for that high quality lessons.
You are so welcome!
Ha, accidental life advice at 6:19, re: personal values and dark\\light traits.
Thank you for the fundamentals overview!
Really enjoy your tutorials. So well explained!
Glad you like them!
