Things look bluer/greyer in the distance because there's more dust and atmosphere particles between you and the object, which scatters the light and distorts the colours. The effect gets stronger if you've had several days without rain, and weaker right after a good downpour.
Mm. Its one of those tricks that has massive payoff in making your backgrounds look better. You make stuff further away more desaturated and tint it bluer (presumably you go for either orange or purple during sunset/night scenes, but thats a guess on my part, blue probably still works.
Actually, it's much more than that. It's called Rayleigh scattering and is acute caused by the atmosphere absorbing light. It's the same reason the sky is Azure and you have red sunsets.
The internet (or at least the artists I've seen) have done colour theory so dirty. It has always been presented to me as though it was this complex, only-an-artist-would-understand-it type of thing, and in just 14 minutes you've proven to me that, not only is it something I already knew but didn't know the name of, it's a concept anyone can grasp if *properly* explained.
Bro i wanted to study colour theory. But the internet made it a hype. And I beloved its a complex concept. I looked for many videos but they only explained what's hue value and saturation and the video ends But, this guy he also gave examples and applications.
I just saw a video called "Colour theory for noobs" by Flow Studio (I'm looking at it right now) and I think that is also a great video (I've watched it before)! But what makes this video better, is that it explains how to apply it to your drawings and how it can be used. 10/10
when i was a new artist i didn't focus much one colour theory bc ppl made it sound so daunting and i was scared it might get too complicated and i wouldn't want to do it anymore so i just drew in pencil and never coloured cept the occaisnal shading. colour theory is not that hard to understand, to apply maybe it's harder but understanding is always key
Yeah people complicate things sometimes to seem interesting but they end up doing a disservice to others who want to learn lol. Btw, Krita is an awesome free digital art software for anyone who wants to start doing professional stuff for free. (:
I also really like how, as some others have said, you show the examples that are "wrong". Not only does it help me know what to avoid, the other side of the coin shows interesting ways that these things could be utilized. Having one specific object or detail defy typical color theory practice could be a great way to purposefully make it feel out of place.
WE NEED TO GIVE THIS VIDEO AS MANY LIKES AND VIEWS AS POSSIBLE SO HE MAKES MORE OF THESE COLOR VIDEOS AND OTHER VIDEOS AS WELL. Share this his channel to everyone who also likes or wants to learn how too draw. HE IS STILL FAR TOO UNDERATED
I am not a trained artist but I have been painting for a while. But always did it on a whim. This video is just what was missing from my work to make it more natural. You are an amazing teacher. Keep up your work !
I used to watch tones of tutorials, I spent hours and hours trying to understand some art basics and suddenly I found this channel and you explain it all in just few minutes videos! ❤ The most deserved 1M subs in the whole TH-cam 🎉🎉🎉
Not only was this video full of useful information but it was a great summary of all the information in bite sized pieces. Thank you for making this video and sharing it with all of us. I myself do pretty well drawing but my lack of skill comes in colouring in my artwork. This is something i have been trying to improve on and probably will always have to practice. This video is now one of my guides to come back to if i ever start drifting away with bad habits.
Ive been having a difficult time understanding color theory, mainly because of saturation and value, but now after I’ve watch this video, I can understand it well and will be putting a lot more practice to it as well Keep up the great work
There is a very interesting book about Color Theory I've been reading too! It's pretty darn great and not boring! Alhtough it's about the psychological and symbolic aspect of each individual color rather than color combination like in this video. Still, VERY insightful!
@@JFreetard I cannot seem to find the exact name of it in English, but it's something like "Psychology of colors" by Eva Heller. There's a PDF for that.
These were great! I'd also recommend artists to have a go at using a grey or neutral mid-tone instead of white to begin, it can really help judge values and even colours more accurately
Just ordered your calendar bundle, sooo looking forward to receiving them. I looked for a long time for someone to learn from who worked in traditional media, there were so many who worked only digitally. Thank you.😊
You come accross my feed as soon as i opened youtube, it refreshed my knowledge about color theory and also learned about new things that i can apply to my new artworks, Thank you and definitely will follow you^^
man this is the first video ever that left me with the feeling of I actually learnt something. this is probably because it is the first time I saw someone explain basics so simple and yet funny to learn. congratulations on 1M subscribers. you really deserve it
I am a studying graphic designing where this is important but couldn't get this one thing right, but this video you made is so good that it cleared everything for me and explained it in a wonderful way.
I've had difficulty understanding color theory for so long, this video finally put it into proper perspective in a way I understand, thank you so much!
Wow, this helps a lot! I've never gone past sime of the easier parts of color theory like primary, secondary, tertiary colors along with what value, hue, and saturation are. I didn't know as much about the more complicated stuff, plus you made an example of how exactly you apply all these things when making art. This was so much easier to understand. Thank you for this 😭👍❤
As an artist that's been drawing for as long as he can remember, I've always struggled with color theory. I get the basic concept, but it's always been the application that stumped me. Definitely going to be saving this and signal boosting it to my buddies, thanks a ton for this! 🙏
Thanks for this. I think this is the first colour theory video I've watched that shows examples with and *without* the theory applied and it's really enlightening.
I've been banging my head against a wall trying to improve my colors for almost a year now. This is the most helpful guide I've found, but I guess practice is the only way I'm really gonna improve. Thanks.
This was one of the videos in German that I most wanted to see translated!! I also don't understand why the color/painting videos are the least watched, they are my favorite!! And once again congratulations on the 1Mi, you really deserve it :D
oooh this video was really helpful in understanding colour context! it is also the first colour theory guide i've seen that's ever mentioned the immersion thing, it makes a lot of sense! thank you so much ^-^
im finding your channel at the end of 2024 but i watched the video about painting with green & looked at your calendar in the description. i loove physical calendars especially really cool ones that embrace color is different ways. your art is amazing 💛
😊I am so happy that I found this channel before my elementary examination. I was so tensed due to my exam but now I am feeling little bit relaxed because of your videos and thank you so much and yes I am from India❤ 🥰your the best art teacher for me 🙂I will wait for your replay❤
I really appreciate all your color videos~ it’s always been a struggle for me and sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the other videos but you keep it simple for dummies like me!
Here to pay the cost. Thank you again! As a complete beginner to color who wants to learn some theory for model building and fashion, it really does help :).
this is the stuff I NEED to learn more than anything and there's hardly any in depth stuff that makes sense to me ;A; I very much enjoyed this video and your examples, thanks Herr Marcel 👍
As a hobby painter this was totally new information for me and very valuable. Can also be applied to other areas such as web design and game development which I am trying to learn more about. Thank you for the good explanation!
Shout out to DLAS! My guy edits his own videos, is making a manga, has to go to conventions and Ofc making TH-cam for us all to improve on our weak points in art. Thanks man, you is the goat.
So good to see you finally get recognition congrats!!! also since your German channel unfortunately never got this much credit.. You always did a fantastic job in your tutorials and still getting better. You are gifted to teach something so easy to everyone and with a lot of humor too!! 👌🏻 Thank you for all your hard work I really hope it is finally worth it for you!!!
Congratulations on 1 million subs! Well deserved especially with how well these tutorials are made, from the production quality to the humor. I hope to see more of videos like this one from you in the future, since color is one of my weaker subjects.
I'm always impressed by this channel because of how professional the editing is as well as how helpful the content in the video is. I really appreciate every video i see from this channel. Please keep going❤
This is fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to make a video that may not perform well. Color theory is my weak spot for me so this is greatly appreciated.
Color theory has been one of the main things that I couldn't seem to "wing". I don't intuitively understand it. This video is so helpful. You don't delve so deeply into the concepts that I lose the main point, and you select great examples that are focused and unmuddied. Greatly appreciate it.
Thank you! You should have seen my face when I realized I just understood the color picker square (you explain it so well!) I'm new to drawing, so I'm learning the basics. Your videos are some of my favorites. You're a fantastic teacher!
This is great explanation of all the basic intricacies of color theory, which is definitely not the easiest topic to understand! Your artworks lately are so on point, the calendar looks great. 😁
The videos you have about coloring are usually my favorite types of videos coming from you. I understand why they are less popular than other videos, but I hope they keep on coming, can't wait to try these tips out!
Love your videos, man! The effort you pour into them is visible in the editing, which is SO smooth and nice. Also, congrats on the million subs. You deserve it!
Thank you for that vid! I am now starting the hobby of painting miniatures and have zero knowledge on color theory (and zero experience). So my jouney will be a long one. Your vid helps! Thank you for those
Actually there's a colour scheme for the 8:00 part which is called split-complementary colour scheme and it works. Also I saw your watercolour tutorial and it's really great too. :D
Bro the effort for this video (and the screenshot) really deserve at least my comment, like and subscription (even if I’m not interested on this topic but I needed to know this notion to make vfx)
this just made so much sense. I felt like color theory was going to be overwhelming. But you put it into a super concise and simple way for me to start the learning process. Your videos have been a great help. Looking forward to what else I can gleam from your content.
I think this video is very helpful, because I suck at colors and didn't understand which color would go better with what I was sketching. You are really good at what you do, and don't stop making videos!!!!!
Thank you for the awesome video! I've been wanting to bump up my art game, and I've realized I need to stop doodling and get into painting. Color theory, color context, and all of the surrounding bits are so important to learn to get a solid understanding of how to really dive into that world.

Taking note of this, thank you for sharing info!
Actually, it's much more than that. It's called Rayleigh scattering and is acute caused by the atmosphere absorbing light. It's the same reason the sky is Azure and you have red sunsets.
For anyone who wants to properly research and study how this works
The term is called atmospheric perspective

Okay?
I was literally searching up tons of videos about coloring. Thank you for answering my prayers
I literally took a screenshot of the “cheat sheet” just before you said “now what might a screenshot cost?” You knew. Naturally I liked the video
