A simple way to use color palettes

[@wynautwarrior2161]

Hey. Thank you so much for this. I always make my own art and color is something I usually struggle with or forget about, so I'm very thankful for your videos and tutorials.

[@colorwithkurt]

You're so welcome! I'm glad it helps. :)

[@dezzdinn]

Perhaps a silly question but would you mind if I share this? It’s a another great helpful video by you. 👍

[@colorwithkurt]

Please do! Yes, of course. :)

[@thekingsofheart]

This. Just. Blew. My. Mind. Thank you so much for this. I super appreciate and value your skills and your sharing!

[@colorwithkurt]

Thanks so much!

[@gilbertoqueiroz2628]

Muito bom! Obrigado!

[@gamenrage5998]

A lot of you guys post how to draw as a real artist. They are not looking for a damn course on how to draw but how to do their work on procreating to make a game or such with step-by-step instructions. I have subscribed and unsubscribed to people that give good hints but will not give out this detailed information. Is this a corruptive way to hold others back? WHATEVER.

[@colorwithkurt]

Correct. I've been making free tutorials on KZbin for over ten years and selling courses to support those videos just to hold you down.

[@solomondesigns1155]

Thank you

[@hotsauce7124]

Love this

[@ZethKeeper]

9:06 Hi five, Kurt! I'm doing the same thing when establishing base colors for the first time.

[@c0r0y]

nice

[@katssketches1118]

Brilliant video thankyou

[@colorwithkurt]

Very welcome

[@demetriussaulsberry3714]

Dude! You are a great teacher! I love listening to people who actually know what they’re talking about. Cool to hear you’ve used Skillshare too. Learning a lot.

[@Akari-dx4lo]

Ahhhhhhhh exactly what I need! Thank you so much

[@yadnyang]

In simple words, the predominant color is orange and the another is blue.. and it is then detailed in analogous colors around orang color .

[@Domi_2204]

This is very helpful. You communicated it very good, for me for sure.

[@doniaria4619]

What brush u used there for the lighting?

[@MBuntynTV]

Are you kidding me. That is 👏 amazing. Everything make sense now.

[@stevenlong7486]

Thanks for explaining this so well Kurt! It’s very helpful. 🔥🔥🔥👍🏼

[@acesdoes7869]

man this is great tutorial this si also solve my problem try to match up my character with the background that i've been struggling it

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Also tell us why you like Clip

[@colorwithkurt]

Reference layers. That's primarily why I use Clip. I just finished a course on CSP a few months back that goes into all of things you are asking. I know you prefer a book, but it's not something that I see happening in the near future.

[@kiranbabu1636]

Highly useful content .... Thank you so much!...

[@TheChameleon2008]

Awesome video Kurt and this is what i was looking for! Im going to re-watch it a couple of times so that i can apply it to my drawings. I see you dont really use blending modes on the layers while many other do use it in their workflows but i think without it makes you understand it a bit more in the long run so big thumbs up for creating this video!!!!

[@colorwithkurt]

Thanks! I do use Hard Light mode for most things these days. I'm glad you liked it. :)

[@nikivaszi]

Finally a truly helpful video which explains the what and why! Brilliant, much appreciated :)

[@jerartist127]

thanks kurt i am just starting to colour my project, this was much appreciated

[@tonyultramegamax]

This video taught me so much in such a digestible way. Thank you!!

[@trinidad_art]

Great video! Where do I find the brushes you used on the light rendering?

[@colorwithkurt]

Look up Frenden brushes for CSP.

[@pedrofelipe5203]

beautiful. you make it look easy!

[@Jm-zz7cc]

when are you gonna stream again? i wanna make room in my shedule

[@colorwithkurt]

I stream on Twitch every Wednesday at 11am Eastern US time. www.twitch.tv/kurtcolors Right now KZbin streams are pretty random, but I am considering adding a regular YT time too soon.

[@Jm-zz7cc]

@@colorwithkurt THANKYOU

[@erenyeeagah204]

this is really helpful thank you!

[@Sammy_47]

The one thing I always wonder is whether this process is done throughout the entire comic? Are you constantly thinking about the colors and such?

[@colorwithkurt]

Yes, the colorist is always thinking about how to enhance the story with color.

[@55MAK55]

Great vid thank you. Do you have a video on choosing brushes? I also happen to have the Frenden pack (OVER 1000 BRUSHES YALL) and it is so hard to choose the proper brush for the job. I asked Frenden himself and he said to experiment and you'll find it but I'de like a bit more guidance.

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Had bought your early 2000 how to color comic book. Will you make a new step by step book using clip showing us how to color untop of pencil drawings... basically the 3 main color techniques seen currently on covers... ink, realistic paint brush style and coloring tight pencil drawings? Saw a Deadpool sketch pencil drawing cover... wow. Gotta write the book straight forward project simple just 3 projects folks can try to follow. Video's hear you talking but difficult to follow

[@artesgr1]

Fantastic video!!!

[@zaybrielclanton]

I know this vid is old but I’m still gone post the question… if the overall pic is complimentary, the character has an analogous color pallet, then what about the character color pallet?…. Like say the cowboy was someone with a crazy color pallet like Spider-Man or green lantern?

[@colorwithkurt]

Hero books are often heavy in local color but you can still build palettes and shift lighting and shadows towards other colors.

[@zaybrielclanton]

@@colorwithkurt thank you. I kind of see what you’re saying.

[@rizkydharma8373]

Gonna try finish this video today and let you know what i think, so far its realllyyy nice

[@rizkydharma8373]

Yup, lovee this videoooo

[@TheHotaru93]

At the very beginning of the process (8:30) is that pure gray / really desaturated blue? Wouldn't it be even more cohesive filling first all the FG with the same orange, and then fine-tuning the local colors with the sliders?

[@colorwithkurt]

No it's not gray. There's some color in it. In any case, there are a lot of ways to do this. :)

[@pavani_mudiraj067]

Which app u used to add colour

[@colorwithkurt]

This was mostly colored in Clip Studio Paint Pro. I also use Photoshop and Procreate at times depending on the piece.

[@chrisisakson136]

Very informative, Kurt! I got a question: At 11:30 you mention that the character made use of mostly warm colors. What would you have done if the character used cool colors only? Would you have then done the reverse of making the foreground cool and the background warm but still dark?

[@colorwithkurt]

Possibly. There are lot of ways to make this stuff work. :)
