    Bruh you proved that anyone can draw if they get a proper medium of learning. I will recommend your channel if my friends wants to start drawing. Knowing the principle is very important, Thank you for the video! keep it up! You deserves more subs!

    I think one of the most eyeopening things I learned about color is that your palette almost doesnt matter. As long as you have good values in your image you can get away with almost anything. Think about contrast and where you want your focal point to be and the rest falls almost exclusively down to taste (not that color theory doesnt exist but it isnt nearly as important as people think imo)

    I love your "no bullshit" approach to explaining these concepts! What most others would explain in half an hour, you explain in a few minutes.
    Very efficient

    There's beauty in contrast too, brighter colors tend to have a more impactful color scheme than those unsaturated/limited color palette so it's always better to have more than one

    Thank you for these videos
    Sometimes i feel like ive got a very solid understanding of digital art but you always show me that there's more to learn
    Many tutorial and training videos that I've tried to watch to help me feel very drawn out, or the purpose of why I'm there gets lost in a sea of words and phrases that i feel like I should "know"
    Your videos feel more like a friend chiming in to let you know about something very cool that they thought you'd wanna know about and i love that
    Thank you for your work, and I'm grateful to grow as an artist alongside you and your journey

    yo I have been drawing as a hobby for years and have watched a bunch of tutorials, but colours are always one of the things I can never fully grasp usually opting to wing it in the end, and let's just say I finally grasp it from this 6 minute video :)
    insanely high quality content keep up the good work!!

    great tutorial! i think (if you've missed it) that it's important to add more contrast, because the colour blind people (especially the achromatopsia type) looking at the artwork are gonna be like "why is it all the same colour 💀"
    i think low contrast results in a softer looking image, so this tutorial is really helpful for something like that!

    • @thefoudopalace
      @thefoudopalace  ปีที่แล้ว +46

      Yes, I realized that adding more contrast by increasing saturation makes it more appealing.

    • @alfredomaclaughlin1185
      @alfredomaclaughlin1185 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, @limoncats21, and I think we all grasp values more easily than colors (there's a physiological reason for that, cones & rods stuff), which is why digital artists regularly switch to B&W to check that their image is "reading" correctly. It's a matter of finding a balance, so the image still reads well.

    • @halzion
      @halzion ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I think it depends what you want to convey since a low contrast image could make something look more "dreamy" as everything is less clear and defined, while a high contrast could be used to make something seem more "polarizing" and harsh. admittedly i know nothing about colour so take my words with a grain of salt 💀

    3:15 For an explanation of why this happens, I'll note two things.
    - There's the physical limitations on your screen. To show yellow your screen can max out both the red and green lights in the pixel, but to show blue it can only use the single blue light. So cyan, yellow, and magenta can be shown brighter on screen than RGB.
    - Even if you could get the amount of light being shined the exact same, your eyes are also biased to respond more to some hues than others due to biology. So it's a weird nonlinear problem.
    TL;DR This is not an easily solved problem, just be aware of it and adjust things to be roughly correct across tones.
    And if you're really curious...
    Different color spaces like CIELAB or OKLAB can model how we perceive colors better than RGB or HSV, but I don't know of particularly artist friendly tools that make use of them. They're pretty cutting edge even for programmers and technical artists from what I've heard. If you want to learn more, there's multiple 40-minute videos on the subject I could point people to :p

      So I have like three videos in mind that all cover about-ish the same topics but not quite.
      I can't perfectly gauge which would be best to introduce someone to the topic, but if you want just one video try "Your Colors Suck (it's not your fault)" by Acerola first.
      "RGB to XYZ: The Science and History of Color" by John Austin also covers a lot of the history of color theory, and might offer more intuitive/visual explanations of how things work. Also has some good notes on sRGB vs linear RGB if you want to get into more technicalities with how computers handle colors
      "The Amazing Math behind Colors!" by Kuvina Saydaki doesn't cover stuff like CIELAB or OKLAB but talks about some extra math/physics. (Though I'll note the very last section of this video kinda goes on opinion)
      You probably don't need to watch all of all of them, as a lot of information is shared between these videos, but hopefully you'll find some stuff worth your time.

      @@1ogic948 Thank you!
      I have read about different colour models before, but to me it appears that their use is primarily determined by the application field. And more specifically, anything other than rgb/cmyk is used in more technical applications, such as engineering. So I am surprised by this idea that using other models can somehow improve your ability to choose colours. After all, I, as an artist, do not necessarily think of colors as a particular combination of R, G, B or C, M Y, K numbers.

    • @thefoudopalace
      @thefoudopalace  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      We start with a high saturation color, and several other colors support it. This color scheme creates a basic impression. When we add more details and color to the illustration, we don't want to disrupt this impression. Therefore, we need to infer colors from the color scheme. We can choose a color that falls between two colors on the color wheel.

    Having Extreme High Contrast Next to low Contrast Colors will Prove to be Distracting to the Viewer, So you have to plan for them in Advance...
    The way you Control the Contrast is By Looking at it in Grayscale (Windows has a Shortcut for it). and Changing the colors According...
    There is one Method to Mention about Gradient-Maps (Gray Scale to Color)

    But you still used the whole colour wheel for this illustration though? You said to start with a primary colour and then use the colours next to it. E.g. with yellow, use greens and oranges. But you've got purples and pinks in here too so you've basically used the whole colour wheel. I'm still confused to how to choose colour schemes.

    • @thefoudopalace
      @thefoudopalace  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I will make a video talking about it in the future. If most of the color in the illustration is limited to a specific range, then we perceive it as a theme. For example, I used purple on the eyes. It "breaks the rule", making the eyes the focal point.

    I like the art over all but there are some serious factual errors and misunderstandings of why certain things work or don’t work. E.g. the large apparent brightness difference between blue and yellow is not because they are on opposite sides of the colour wheel. With a wheel any hue has an opposite but not all opposites have large differences in apparent brightness. E.g. using HSV values an orange with a hue of 30 degrees and an azure with a hue of 210 degrees are 180 degrees apart but have the same apparent brightness. And cyan at 180 degrees hue value has a lesser but quite similar apparent brightness to yellow while being only 60 degrees around the wheel from 240 degree blue. Keep learning but also, nicely done with the paintings!

      You're wrong, if you pick out colors from the pieces and put them by themselves you'll notice the the colors are quite saturated, saturation does not appear as much when you put more then one saturated color around it and blend it out, he is smart with this because by making most of the saturated parts on the edges and focal points of the character or object your eye tends to move around the peice more.
