Kurt, you are totally on to something great here. So much of what I learned about color centered on hue, with a little about warm and cold. I went to art school centuries ago and that was the best description of the interplay of hue, value, and saturation I have ever seen. Incredibly valuable! Your instincts are right on. Keep it up! Btw, you Clip Studio course is excellent, too! Thanks so much.

I really like this explanation. Terms, concepts and contrast were things I already knew, but among all the explanations I have heard, this is one of the clearest. I don't know if maybe my previous knowledge helped me not to be confused, but anyway I think it's a cool alternative way to explain it, which could help people unable to understand other types of colour theory explanations. Also, I like how oriented on practical use this is. I have learnt a lot of stuff on colour theory, but I still struggle actually applying that knowledge into a drawing in practice.

I’ve seen a lot on analyzing the old illustrator values, but no one ever showed the strategy of color with the value range explanations. And I think you can reach a level where you get how many of them kept a narrow range of value except for the focal point, and sometimes see how a color can be thrown in, but I personally would never have looked at your work and been able to see you were using the same strategies. Really great explanation and I wish I had seen this before I the tons of info I’ve seen and read over the years.

Thank you for this Kurt. I have ADHD and I always watch videos at two times speed. Yours is the first that I’ve watched on regular speed in a long time. Not to mention the fact that you made things a lot easier for me to understand. With my condition we can be very creative but sometimes certain concepts can only be understood when explained in a certain way. And in this case that would be a more visual way. Direct into the point. Not too much in the way of anecdotes or long-windedness. There was one part when you were showing the grayscale. I’ve seen other videos talk about starting off in grayscale and then using that and replacing each tone with a color. I understood the general lighting concept but could not understand what I was supposed to do at the point between that and changing colors. Just in the few seconds that you were covering that it became clear. Or at least, clearer than it had been. Thanks again. Side question: did you play ball in school?

I think it can also apply to storytelling, which really helps complete the package. :) keep up the great content.

This is very helpful! I am only wondering how to go about it if the flat colors of the image are fighting against this theory. For example what if the lady in your image was actually green in color? So that you can't make her as pink as you did now! What if something that needs to be out of focus and is not important but the inker has done it in solid black which forces the eye to look at it no matter what I do with the colors. I'd love to hear how you go around problems like this! Thank you :D Awesome vid!!
@colorwithkurt4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! To answer your questions... The background definitely wouldn't also be green. :) And the solid black inks depend on the art but if it was actually that distracting I'd probably just change the color of the lines... Depending on the art style.

@@colorwithkurt Thanks for the reply. I agree 👍 I can change things around but sometimes it is a bit complicated trying to consider multiple factors at the same time. In covers, it is easier to change things as I prefer but in sequential pages the settings really force some restrictions! Or so are the problems I face at least 😂
