Marc, could I perhaps have a copy of your color charts?

[@leko_top4z600]

I never knew about chameleon effect of the color gray and I was going insane trying to figure out why my grays look saturated when the saturation is definitely at zero. Thanks for solving that mystery for me. I could get bothered by it for another year or so if I haven’t bumped in to your video.

[@lunerlilly]

I completely understand this mood. 😂

[@Mafon2]

I've been taught something like that at the book-printing faculty many years ago.

[@antonydrossos5719]

While my past teachers have been great at teaching me light and shadow, my eye for color is admittedly weak. I appreciate this

[@jdbartist2]

I’m a Midwesterner, light blue is colder for me because I think of ice, don’t really see many beaches day to day ;) 4:00

[@Jadebones]

As a person of colorblindness, thanks for remembering our struggles in the art community! Color is hard, and rather intimidating, especially when you're not able to see them!

[@triskets3411]

I always suffered from oversaturated paintings. My values and forms were always spot on, but my color balance and saturation was always wonky. People always told me Bout simultaneous contrast, but I had no idea how to use it. I was given clear instructions one day to play with the greys in a saturated drawing by opening up the color slider, lowering the saturation to the left, then sliding the color wheel SLIGHTLY to the (cooler or warmer) color I wanted, but only subtly. If you don't do it subtly, you just end up punching it too much. Changed my life.

[@jovannydiazabad6123]

Complementary colors make colors you paint in including something like 50% gray look more saturated than they actually are. For example if I paint the whole canvas purple and I want colors that look like skin tones instead of the usual colors you use red, it doesn't look like skin when surrounded by white or gray but when surrounded by Purplish colors that are also saturated it will look like a skin tone. Here's something you can try fill areas of the canvas with different colors (specifically dark blues and purples) at maximum saturation to see clearly what this effect is (the more saturated the complementary color the stronger the effect). After filling the canvas put a blob of brownish/ochre color (basically desaturated orange) with saturation no higher than 20 and another one with 50% gray compare these colors when painted opaquely on top of the dark hues blues and purples then place them on top of pure white. When you have that brown on top of blue it should look not only brighter in value compared to it surrounded by white but it should also look orange and more vibrant. If you visit Huevaluechroma.com you can look for Color Constancy which will give you all this and more on how colors and Color Vision work

7:20 THE WAY I GASPED That was your art all this time?!! The effect it had on me, when I saw it when I was like 13!! (Well, the other version of it, but still). I still use some things I've noticed in this piece! I can't believe I've been learning from you since the very beginning for all this years...

[@korruptnovellst4751]

Who said it was his

[@lotej853]

@korruptnovellst4751 I think he'd put credits to the original artist, if it wasn't. I also made research to be sure 😅

[@lazyoctopus6183]

This is possibly the most accessible resource on color theory out there! I knew about color relativity but didn't fully understand it, even though I bought a bunch of books on the topic. And you just took like 10 mins to explain the topic in a way that I finally understand x) Thanks so much!

[@mbayadji]

Never heard someone explain something so nicely. I'll definitely be buying your course. Im a teen who wants to make something of his art, and you inspire me tons

[@Rob-ko9vm]

I just wanna say thanks. I'm so glad we live in this Time where you can support yourself just by sharing knowledge and humor. I can tell how much effort you put in to making it look easy. Be well Marc.

Glad this video popped up on KZbin bc I been thinking about studying color.

7:24 This is insane, I always thought it had something to do with digital art. But it seems like it’s just one of the great uses for the color (value) grey.

Honestly, your videos are extremely helpful for explaining a lot of concepts.

The thing I love most about your course is that it gives you the skills you need and I don't have to waste time on classes i don't need for 'gen ed' like with college.

Awesome video - the bit about the effect of grey just blew my mind 🤯

[@PilferpupCartoons]

I would love to see a video on Color Mood, and how the pallette's work. To what degree do you stay inside the pallette if a characters colors range outside of it. Loved this video, as always your content clarifies many questions I've had. Always more to learn!

I LOVE COLOR THEORY RAHHHHH 🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪

[@hollowedboi5937]

So what I take from this is WHEN I get to the color theory section of fundamentals when drawing characters, I should research more about color & value relativity, and specifically about values (colors too) is contrast building intrigue. Often areas without light seem to have a higher level of darker values while lighter areas are higher in value, meaning more or less saturation as well based on the shadow and light areas. And lastly for sure color harmonies at 8:00 and the reasons why to choose one or the other rather than just loosely putting colors everywhere. Often times regardless of what harmony or how many colors you are sourcing from, there will still be the design principle of big-medium-small and contrast, so have one of the colors be the dominant color, the others secondary, and a few as tertiary/accents depending on the harmony and intention. Specifically for stuff like the split complimentary and tetrad color schemes, it feels like just complementary colors are dominant while the other two are meant to supplement the dominant colors a bit, coupling with each other based on if they are on the warmer side (red and orange for example) and/or the cooler wide (blue and green for example) Additionally Seemingly the more connected the colors are on the color wheel, the more "cohesive and relaxed" the art may feel, while the more analogous and separated the colors are on the color wheel the more dynamic and focused something may be. Not that there cannot still be a dominant color with something like analogous but more so about the mood of the piece. Maybe. I'm inferring. uhh color and light scary but they seem like once you get a good grasp, your pieces will look a lot more finished and cohesive. And you may be able to put even more emphasis in your drawings on mood and focus of a picture. So... while I feel like I've been on the anatomy and gesture phase for a bit long now, I'm looking forward to dipping my toes in when I start actually focusing on light and shadow shapes and implementing color here and there.

[@Tobby_]

Nice analysis. I personally find colour theory and shading to be incredibly simple. But I'm still tryna get the hang of anatomy and gesture.(Those are my weakpoints) Btw complimentary colours should have 80/20 ratio

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

@@Tobby_ I second this. Complementary (with an e, not i) colors work well because they "complement" (or, "complete") each other. Completion is never truly 50/50. 70/30 is still a good ratio for complementary colors, and so is 90/10, but 80/20 does generally look the best.

[@AndyMahen]

Dear Marc: Once again, thanks for providing you your knowledge to everyone that wants to join the art journey. I wanted to ask though, what would be the better settings/tools/alternatives when you have a significant difference in the hue with the screens that you're working with? Let me explain my case: My laptop screen, my display tablet & my phone has all different gamut of colors & I never know which one should I trust to know that the colors are appealing.

[@kitsunekei]

yes finally im gonna be better in colora thankyou marc sensei

[@dumbdwei1120]

at first it was the 2 pens behind the ears and now i noticed the 2 smudge guards XD awesome intros as always :D

[@ZETAGeTh]

This video (thanks for the video btw) makes me think about Concord. I've watched some videos analyzing the character designs from that game, and one of the most grievous sins that condemned that game to failure was, they say, the color choices of the design. They weren't distinctive enough. It makes you think if the developers were effectively aware of this, which seems like basic stuff for a professional.

[@lemond2007]

HEY! *BLOWS WHISTLE* *THROWS GREEN CARD* 3:30 You changed the blue color from one scene to the next! That's a foul!

[@datinator1200]

Lol 😅 i was thinking that too…

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

I thought a green card was a good thing? Anyway, he changed it because the first blue was already kinda dark, but that's just what he had recorded so he had to use the clip. The only thing that changes is... just the color. His point is still correct, and it still would have been correct even if he didn't change the color. He only changed it to make the contrast more obvious to beginners. Which is, you know, kind of his job?

[@lemond2007]

[@kaitogirldraws]

Thank you for the hard work, Mr Marc, here's my fee of a comment, since I'm already subbed :D I must say, color theory is deeper than I expected. I do know of the color compositions you mentioned in the video, (shoutout to Blender Guru for showing me these concepts back in the day when I was starting), and I have yet to master it. I always have trouble in one way or another; because yes, red, pink and purple are analog colors and will work well together in a drawing, but that's where my knowledge ends. How to distribute those colors so they are pleasing and guide the eye, what amount of one color to use as main and how to scatter the rest in a balanced way, being mindful of the saturation and value of those same colors... that's always a headache and I am confident to say I butcher it every time. If you drop a couple more tips on this matter, lil' poor me will be more than grateful! (45% is an awesome discount, still dont have 300 bucks available... sorry :C)

[@t1sk1jukka]

I always struggle with colors when trying to render animal fur/feathers/scales since i can’t change their colors to match a color palette if it’s a real life animal so i would need to learn to tint/(de)saturate the colors. My stuff always look either too pale or too saturated
