Color Theory, The Bane of My Existence.

[@isabellemayadouthwaite5744]

I definitely prefer the second one! The colours compliment each other better, and it just looks really nice!

[@_shrimpy7641]

isabelle maya douthwaite yes it also looks more realistic and blends together more well

[@alinelaura7714]

The first one looks more cartoony, I guess? Pop culture and imaginative. The second looks more realistic and tied together. I like both, but for my drawings that are always all over the place, I'm definitely gonna enjoy my two free months of happiness.

[@commenter8465]

They are both good but they second ones skin just looks so much more 'real' with the tone, shading and highlights in it. I feel like the 2nd colouring has so much more depth and reality in it then the first

[@gquackstery888]

Commenter84 I prefer the first one because it looks better to me. why make reality a factor on what I enjoy? it's an artstyle. it doesn't have to be super realistic.

[@Pinkrevenge101]

What if the person is albino or really pale then what? You can make it look real with correct shading and shadows

[@commenter8465]

Yes I know that, but a person will still have shadows no matter how pale they are, they might be a blueish shadow or very slight grey-ish shadow. You can shade any skin tone. The first tone looks nice, I just prefer how she has added the highlights in the second tone, showing depth..

[@rileyleonard4194]

You should do a challenge where you have to make a person that looks as realistic as possible, except, instead of a regular head, it's a waffle.

How about a question to shake things up? What kind of drawing tutorial would you like to see from me? I've made a couple different ones and I'd love the input. :) Thanks for reading.

[@frog_inabog_]

I adore both of these drawings, you're very talented (in my opinion at least) and both the colour schemes look great. From an aesthetic point of view, I'd have to pick the first drawing, just because I'm a sucker for pastel hues. The second one is definitely more cohesive and professional looking, the lineart fits really well with the earthy tones. Overall, and amazing video Waffles! :)

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

[@leeleeb7413]

The first one looks like a sketchbook idea turned into an actual drawing. The second one looks like a character with a name, a purpose and a fleshed out story.

[@ansel3551]

oh yeah the second one is so much better! The colors seem like they tie in a lot better with each other and have more purpose. Wonderful work!

[@indigoblues8454]

The second one looks awesome! I actually think the second is better, but they both look GREAT!

[@Nkanyiso_K]

I went to Skillshare and got a bunch of courses. Thank you, I like free :) and I like supporting creators on KZbin or Patreon

[@leont6813]

At the end of the video I looked at both drawings and though the first was much better, then I noticed the combination of colors of the second one makes a good harmony in the drawing, it's not just random colors it all is related and makes sense ! interesting video :)

[@wouldntyouliketoknowweathe8066]

color theory isn't too hard to understand. The two drawings just have different feelings. once people unserstand the psycology of the colors it's easier to pick colors for specific projects. Adobe color is a great resource to use if you are trying to make cohesive color schemes btw.

[@ladysundrop6191]

The second one looks so much better honestly, even though the first one also looked really cute. I liked the shading on the first one better but the color scheme of the second came out better. I'm definitely going to check out the skill share website, thanks for that too :D It's been awesome watching you improve over the years btw!

[@jessicamui4222]

Wow - I didn't think it would be all that better, but at the end when you put the two side by side, I could really see the difference! The second looks more vibrant and everything fits together ^^

[@Euphoria7705]

I like doing that tip: taking colours from moody images that you want to replicate. I usually do it with photography but it's real helpful for illustrations! I also have default colour, so don't worry!! XD

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

+Wendy Euphoria glad you were inspired! It's good to use some colors outside our comfort zone!

[@pineappleboidraws]

Color Theory is a wonderful thing to know about. I feel like knowing it helps art look a bit more realistsic, as shown by your second drawing of the girl. I've known it since I was fairly young and thank my magic powers of color perception everyday!

[@darquecadenza4834]

I dont know if I ever said this, but I have a kitty named Waffles.

[@lilstinker245]

herberguligulushhhhh! I agree. I adore both and love how much the colours stand out on the first and the colours are so nature-y and earthy, but on the second, it's kind of calm and peaceful with a lot of complimenting colours. I have a christmas song stuck in my head from my mum and it is 'fairy tale of new york.'. but I'm watching this video around christmas so that explains it.

[@antoniosnoob1666]

I love the 2nd one!Good job using a different color for skin.

[@tavrosnitram1529]

I like them both, I can't decide which is better XD

[@spacestationz]

In graphics design we learn color theory in terms of complimentary, contrast, and feeling. So we would look at logos and stuff and try to explain what the designer was trying to convey. Like why did they choose this red or that blue. It helps me with my art cause then accent colors are easier to find, like blue jewelry on a dessert princess. The pallette would have a lot of browns and oranges, and since the opposite color of orange is blue, a little blue jewelry or a slightly bluer sky can help the character stand out more and the colors don't blend into each other too much. Looking at a basic 8 color color wheel helps to learn the basics for these. And then WHAM, cool little spoofs of a different color do much more than you think. It's also a pretty fun to realize these techniques in other works of art, it's like "hey, they use that technique too, OwO"

[@SlipScout]

I love both of them! Each one is unique and beautiful. The second one has the darker tone all around and looks really neat, while the first one is lighter and the hair and skin share the same colors, making it unique but not *as* pretty. Both of them are super cute tho so I mean :P

[@gryffon42]

I agree that the second one was better. first of all, she does seem like she might be a responsible/hard working character, and the second one reflects that more. the first one just looks like a pastel-y princess.

[@xx0124xx]

Have my like, and my sub, and I'm definetly using your code to check those color theory classes, I need them more than oxigen. Also, I really really love both results, the pink haired one is so fun and querky, and the other one looks so natural, it's amazing. I can't wait to be able to do that.

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

[@pinksuga8563]

It's really either one can be professional because both of them have compliment colors or mix really well. atleast for your example actually is a good example of color theory since it brings in realistic color to the drawing. Though for my technique it's usually find a good color and use its values and give it a pop out color to make it more interesting.

[@angelfejjanonuevo2641]

[@pai009]

I liked the two toned dreads better in the first drawing, but I like the way the colors work together in the second pic.

[@Skyehiii]

When i do backgrounds i usuallually take the color thats most of on the character i drew and then take the color thats on the opposite side of the color wheel of that color. For exampel: I drew a character that had allot of puprle and blue therefor i made the background a light saturated green and a desaturated yellow wich are both on the opposite side of purple and blue. I believe theese are called complimentary colors.

[@nibirue]

The second one is Nicer to look at. And more realistic of a person to look I guess. And it shows how color scheme helps with fashion.

+pigknit Hahaha so we are both at the same level. Hehe

[@bunbundabunni3843]

I do something similar, except minus the extra filter step. I just eyedropper, plop it on as base color, and slowly eyedrop and paint around the colors + some dodge and burrrnn. :P I have read (and watch) that some people get mad when they notice their colors get... heavily sampled. Not the painting techniques or styles, but colors, and... the way they're used? I dunno how a person can say someone stole from color ramps alone, at least. (unless pixel art, but people don't complain about that kinda stuff as much for pixels...)

[@justyouraveragebaka9493]

[@Katellabe]

I gotta check this website out soon. Sounds so helpful and fun I love the drawing, the earthy tones and the pallete remind me of Loish. :) Or maybe it is the dreads.. the only thing I can critique is the hand that is supposed to be behind looks off and I keep thinking she has two arms attached to one shoulder. xD

[@torumiku2585]

I like the after better. but not because of the technical colors, but more because I thought the colors from the mosaic fit the character/drawing better.

I like the first skirt and hair and the skin of the second :D I think both are good, the only difference for me is just that the first one is more like a pinkish.

[@jenthulhu]

I like the second one. ;D And that technique of cloning colors is brilliant. I am a longtime subscriber to skillshare, so of course I went off and watched this course. I think it's a great intro to color theory except for one thing: it uses the outdated/nonscientific primary color scheme red/blue/yellow instead of magenta/cyan/yellow. Since you can make red from magenta, it's not truly a primary color, but nothing can make magenta. That means it's the true primary. Otherwise, there were some awesome tips, although I felt that in her first example for cloning colors she really missed the mark by not using the cherry red that dominated the original piece. Also, she didn't show us her colored illustration! What?! But I continue to try to learn from everything I see and there were some excellent tips there. Thanks for the link!
