[@TTGLphantron]

[@Patch.of.clover]

My art teacher cared more about art history than fundamentals, which, for those of us who actually wanted to learn how to make art, it left us in the dust. Needless to say, I empathize. Nevertheless, I like to think my art still progressed despite bad teachers.

[@lpsfankanr1]

@@jimbow25 There is a lot of people who have the knowledge, but have no idea how to pass it on or just don't want to try and suddenly they become teachers. Note: they become BAD teachers. And it's more common than you think. It's sad to see people like you trying to make others feel inferior and like "an idiot" for no reason. You must have awful self-confidence and self-love issues if you like insulting others and think that's okay/funny. Hope you'll stop doing this and get better.

[@angelp2092]

I hate that people here are trying to make others feel bad for having a bad education, which isn't their fault. I only know some of this because I did my own research online and I literally did art based programs my whole childhood They just weren't good. You realize as you are becoming an adult who wants to presue art how far behind you are while applying to colleges that people who had better education are also applying to. Art is terribly underfunded and it hurts potential future artists. It doesn't mean you are stupid or have less passion, other peoples base knowledge is just a privlage you don't have. We have to try harder, and shouldn't be called idiots for seeking knowledge and trying to grow as artists.

Same. I'm in my last year of college and I'm frustrated cause I chose Art Projects instead of Art Painting which was incredibly different than what I did in Art painting through years of it. So I've been asking her a lot of questions and now shes ignoring me and picking on me for asking for help. She doesn't even do anything in class as were seniors so we don't really need help. Except I do need help as I'm struggling, but she would rather laze around than actually work.

I made the challenge a little hard.. if you want the answers, scroll down on this comment to see if you were correct! . . . . . . . . . 1. Complimentary colour scheme, using orange/yellow to pop against a blue background. I'll also accept the use of bright/saturated colours (sunlight) to pop against the darker desaturated background (blue). 2. (Any answer is correct!) This is just my take: A sailor lost his son at sea and swears never to sail again. He's looking out into the ocean in fear and intrigue thinking about the best and worst days of his life out on the water. He bought a house at the top of the hill overlooking the bay so he can always be close to his son and the ocean, yet still far enough away that he's safe from his own demons. Wow that was deep.. 3. Fibonacci spiral! Starts in the bottom left and spirals up into the top right corner ending on the person.

[@henfinzim]

I thought of the city as a barrier between the person and the sea, but in my case I imagined a boy that wanted to go to the sea but couldn't.

[@guilhermems]

I got 1 and 3 right. But the story in my mind was completely different. To me he's just admiring the sunset after a long day of work in the city.

[@FaithOriginalisme]

[@dreamsprayanimation]

the simple stick drawings he creates at 7:28 look extremely good and pleasing to the eye even tho they are just doodles. Really shows the power of composition and color theory.

[@MrScreamingSilence]

Color group: looks like two complementaries to me. Yellow and purple and blue and orange. Maybe there's a specific name for that, like quadruple color scheme? Story: guy watches a dusk or dawn from the roof of an old house that is on top of a hill, overlooking the city. Since there are ships, maybe he wants to be a sailor, or is a sailor and has to leave soon? Maybe he awaits someone or something. Rule: first impression was Fibonacci spiral, because of the curved beach, the tree branches continuing the line to the man on the roof, but looking at it again there also seem to be "action" lines or rather leading lines that lead to the upper left corner of the picture. The roof and left edge of the picture come from the foreground and lead to the reflected sunlight which again leads to the sun off-screen

[@Camm604]

I just watched a video on it...I think they called that a double complimentary color scheme

[@demifox1031]

Hey just watched this actually but am curious don't you think you might over thought it out. Like if you put the grids in the guy sits at the bottom right and it stretches out to the see. And for the color he used the purple for it's silent and and the blue is loud but the orange and light grey pull the eyes for the story I loved them all

[@irondeficiency5136]

thanks for this vid, it really helped! my take on the picture at 17:32 is: - color/colour group: mostly warm colors (oranges, yellows, warm greens) contradicting the cool colors (purplish stuff, blue) - story (my fave part :) :this scene is the beginning of an adventure where the main character (human) is running away from home to follow his dreams of being a ship captain/sailor. his parents never approved, but this one day he got super fed up and ran away. he dreams of sailing all seven seas one day like his great uncle, Mr. Sailor-Dude, who all of his relatives despised (sailing was frowned apon in their heritage). i guess it's kinda a mash of coco and moana lol - rule/lines: i first looked at the dude, then the tree, which is curved towards the ocean which i then look at, and then the lines of the ocean go back to the character. hope you like my interpretation :)

[@alexwaluyo]

The story is about a man reminiscing his warm memory while enjoying the sunset on top of his childhood home. Colour group: You used the bright, warm colours to set the leading line (eg. the man looking at the top left of the the scene), and you use cooler colour group (a bit desaturated) sit as the background / complementary. Rules: I think you used a combination of the Fibonachi rules and set a leading line towards the top left corner of the scene, making the man as the center of attention and everything else is kinda flowing towards the top left corner where the man is looking at. Btw, you've just got a new fan. Thanks for the lesson, mate!

[@Deepdreams_zzz]

color comp:you made the character, the main focus of the story much more vibrant to attract and the background away from the character to detract, the story of the character, shows him looking down at a city, it makes me wonder what is he thinking, is he trying to get to the cty? how will he get to the city? why is he on the roof? and the third rule lines helps give an idea of where to put the character to tell the story

[@Grace-iq7mp]

I think that the composition of the last drawing is the golden ratio. I am not sure what color scheme it is. The drawing does make me think about the movie Rio from Bluesky. It reminds me of the shot from the movie where the boy who kidnapped the blue macaws is sitting on top of a roof reflecting on the wrong deed he did. It is night time in the shot making the emotional element of the scene feel, I guess, stronger in that it is sad. The drawing in this video, on the other hand, has light from the sun shining on all the buildings and trees and even on the person, making the scene feel happier, or more hopeful, or more encouraging than the Rio movie scene I mentioned. I also wanted to say that I really loved this video, and I learned a lot from it. I really appreciate the effort that this person made in planning the video and even demonstrating the techniques that he was teaching. Blessings to you and everyone reading this comment in Christ Jesus.

He is no longer to able to endure the rough waves, the rocking of the sailboats on his fragile spine. One slip could hinder himself paralyzed. He is standing there leaning towards the sea. Excited to see the beautiful sight, and to reminisce the good ol days. (This is my story, just slightly different scenario). I felt that and brought a tear to my eye. I have a sever spinal injury. I went from riding 4 wheeler ATVs to doing art and games.

[@chichi5985]

Color group: serene colors for the background, warm/bright colors for the person to symbolize hope maybe ? The yellow lighting definitely gives off a sense of hope/adventure Story: a newcomer who’s only been living in their new city for about a year but is still enamored with it and its endless possibilities every single day Rule: golden ratio

[@kirriass2991]

For the challenge : 1: you used very catchy colours on the background to focus on it instead of the main character 2: the character is discovering the city for the first time so he observe it entirely 3: you used a low angle shot to give an impression of immensity on the landscape Btw, thanks !

[@cristinagardon]

1. complimentary colors > blue and orange (orange draws the eye and makes the guy on the building the focal point of the scene, while blue makes everything else below feel less important and maybe a bit melancholic) 2. he could enjoy the view of the sea from a tall building in the middle of the day.. but to me it feels like he's waiting for someone to arrive from the sea or misses someone who is far :) 3. fibonacci rule I think Wow! This is so helpful! Thank you for the video!

[@mulyanovaln]

Your explanation is so good and clear. I feel like you were telling stories to me instead of teaching. Anyway here's my thought on the challenge: - Color Group: Complementary (orange/blue) and Analogous (blue/green, yellow/brown) - Story: A guy on top of the building and he is about to conquer the world - Composition: Rule of three

[@artkat7722]

1: The colour group is quite complementary because it made the guy,house and a tree stand out from the scene. 2: This made me think of the story where the guy standing at the roof of the house is looking far into the sea. 3: Not only did you use rule of thirds(i assume), you use leading lines with yellow highlights to create the direction where the guy is looking. pretty helpful thanks

[@KevinDSaputra]

1. Warm colors. By the way you shaded it, it feels like a dusk setting. The man may be there but his shirt blended into the color of the roof. 2. The man on the roof cast his gaze upon the city and the golden line on the horizon. But no matter how long he stands, he still can't shake the feeling of loss in his heart. "This place was a lot warmer when you were here, Susan". 3. Converging Line rules. In the picture, there are abstract lines that lead the eyes towards the sea.

The line of action (and visual loop) draw my attention to our character, who's outfit stands out against that blue/purple colour. I then look to the tree, which hints how high up the character is. I then look back to the sea, where I see tons of sailboats (what if they're coming to attack? Lol, "Revenge of the Sailboats") then the beam of light across the water draws me to the contrasty yellow highlights and back to the character. No looking off the image with this loop. Colour scheme also makes me look at certain things (highlights, which imply time of day, and the orange-ish roof, which then makes me look at the character). Thank you for this video; I feel much more educated about composition. OH! And it follows the rule of thirds.

My answer to your challenge is here: Colour Group - the combination of colours relate to each other Story - a guy on the rooftop looking at the whole view and seeing the sunset. Yellow color refers to the sunlight as you can see the shadow in the water. Its shadows the buildings, the person, and the tree Rule - warm light, cool shadows; I am not sure if the rule of thirds was applied in the challenge I'm not sure if I got it right.

[@megaman7357]

1.) Orange reddish- paired with the green of the tree to being attention to the little goober on the roof. Less saturated muted blue for negative space that gives the viewer some breathing room. More saturated lighter blue paired with a very bright yellow that scatters over the muted part, viewers attention brought 1st to the goober then to what he's looking over and finally beyond that . More negative space treated with the subtle brown-iwh tone that gives a sense of wrapping. 2.) Feels like it could be the opening to a Ghibli movie. Maybe a jack and the beanstalk sorta thing and their house got picked up by a big ol' magic tree. 3.) Fibonacci spiral

[@mikelezhnin8601]

1) for color groups, you separated the picture clearly by warm and cold colors 3) for the rules, you got some action lines (?) that lead to that sunset top-left, as well as some negative space between the man and the sea 2) as for the story, I think it's about the guy willing to go sailing, but also not really, since it's so nice and warm at home, where he is idk

[@janet4900]

Color Group: I think there's complementary colours: orange and blue. The story: It's flooding, so the person has escaped on top of the roof. The rule? I think a lot of the lines are pointing towards the person. The reflection of the sun, and the lines on the building are pointing towards the person. I love your tutorials !

[@Janet-qx4bj]

10:11 I wanted to also say the colors here definitely make the two look like they take place at different times of the day !!

[@DrSilk-mo8cw]

About the thing at the end: 1: The Color group creates an atmosphere in which we feel as though we are looking upon something covered in darkness without actually making everything within the setting impossible to see, thanks to the natural effect of using darker blues. The sand with a somewhat muted color draws attention away from it, and the house's bright roof with a distinctly colored character draws your attention to it that way. 2: The Story here implies some sort of significance to the sun. The character appears as though they are looking towards the sun, and it's portrayed in a (literal and figurative) positive light. The drawing makes us want to focus on the sun, because the rest of the piece is being directly affected by it in some way and it demands our attention. 3: I believe this uses the Fibonacci rule, with most focus and content drawn towards the bottom right corner of the piece while our eyes are guided across the piece in a diagonal pattern.

[@Annieknows]

Challenge: Your using the orange and the blue as contrasting colours and the sunset gives a specific ambiance to the image. Story: someone wanted to see the sunset from an amazing viewpoint so he went up to his roof to enjoy it. Rule: i think you used the rule of thirds here. Awesome video! Can't wait to start drawing myself !

[@audreyvialitta2243]

Homework 1. Complementary, using the orange as the main focus from all the blues and greens, the yellow from the sun also helps the viewer to focus on the character I think 2.

I've noticeably gotten better at are over the past couple months, if my rate of improvement increases or keeps constant, soon I'll be a pro! Learning techniques is as, or at least close to, as important as practicing. Here are some things I do: -Use mechanical pencils for detailed drawings. -Use grid paper to make something symetrical by looking at how many, full, half or quarter squares away to draw, and to help with diagonals.

[@miguelvaca2751]

Fantastic video. BTW Colour Group Some sort of warm colors. Oblique lights from the sun it`s sort of sunset or dawn but the light reflected is pretty clear so here in the tropic that means dawn. Story The character is located in the negative space, so all the frame conducts the story to cast him/her. The rest of the people are at the marina. His/her pose with open arms and open legs, define stress. I think that character has resentments over the town and his/her solitude hope for the dawn of a vengeance It`s a frame w lots of perspective. That gives depth, drama, highlighted by color spectrum; the shore provides a very pronounced curve somo sort of narrative begining at the left bottom to the right top, reading and ascent or rising (in my plot, the revenge)

A coming of age story about to unfold at the beginning of a story or 2.) the reflection at the end of a story of someone reminiscing and about to enter their next season of life: contentment/ looking forward and hopeful. Rule/ guideline: The Golden Ratio or Fibonacci sequence and using contrast and guiding lines to focus on the offset horizon which makes it more dramatic.

The colour group used: orange and blue are the main colours in the scene, im gonna say it is complimentary.

Rules: Fibonacci spiral because you naturally want to see what the guy is doing on the roof as you take in the scene around him with the tree and the city, then you see the ocean he is looking towards. The round lines in the scene help support this along with the placement of the character

Colour Group : complementary colour scheme sort of a thing? really the focus is that house and that guy Story: it gives off this bright morning vibe, where a guy is just on his roof watching the sunrise. he looks like he's super motivated and is set out to do something of substance, yk really bright enthusiastic kind of a vibe rule : at first i thought it was Fibonacci spiral but then it seems as though there's converging lines. it kind of gives you a sequence where you look at the sea and it slowly leads you to the bottom of the guy and you see him looking out to the sea.

1. The colour group seemsw to be complementary with the blues and oranges. The background of cities is also a bit desaturated to make focus on the foreground and the ocean. 2. The story which this composition is telling is adventure and exploration as this is a high angle look on a vast beautiful cityscape and ocean. 3. The rule of thirds is applied as the person and the house is positioned at the bottom right, there can also be the fibonnaci rule applied with focus onto the right. as the curves of the ocean do make the fibonacci line.

For the Rule, I think it's a Line of action compostion because the direction the character is looking is in the direction the sun is reflecting off of the water. The color groups are placed in a way that it draws attention to the roof and the water .

Thanks for the video, Julian! It was really helpful and thorough, yet simple to follow. Keep it up! I nailed the colour group and the rule, but thought that the Fibonacci rule was starting in the upper left corner, down the sun reflection, then up the house/tree and then down again on the character. I guess I didn't really care for the little houses down the hill haha.

[@annecollier8741]

The spiral can start at either corner

1. Complementary colors blue and orange. 2. Person looking for a certain boat off in the distance. 3. Rule of thirds, although the thirds are diagonal

[@rezosfactor]

okay lets go 1. triadic scheme 2. dude is on the roof of the house on the hill so he can watch the first rays of the rising sun, crawling to the city below 3. fibonacci rule Great videos, mate. Keep it up !!!

Life time best videos on color...

[@sunny99179]

thank you so much! i really loved your style of art, simple and very effective,i wish i learn to do more simple,i always am trying to make my art style more simple

[@glowjoe09]

dude, this is such a good tip, i have a peice that i dont really like, i realize its because the focus was WAY too far at the top left and exact middle

[@amenbrotherstv8806]

color: seems to be complementary colors. the yellow represents as the light from the sun(or maybe the sun's going down) and the land are going dark blue that going evening(i guess) story: the man sitting on the roof, looking at the sun, and he's thinking about dealing his life in every hard times and how he will become a better person. rules: Fibonacci spiral, because the shores are round or curve along with the tree.

I've learned more in 18 minutes than an entire 5 mins of art class.

[@malice4422]

Well I would hope so, 5 mins is nothing

[@tomasblazek6687]

I am in awe of quality of this video. You crammed so much information on composition into twenty minute video, it's insane. Btw for the challenge, i think it was triatic color scheme. The character was looking out onto the sea, wanting to leave the big city. And you used Fibonacci spiral This video actually got me excited to learn more, something school failed to do. 😂

[@misteriousgamr]

If only teachers are like this. I learn more when things are very relaxed

[@kgstarz]

I love how this can be used for photography as well

[@ShirleiBarnes]

Rules of thirds it flows nicely, cool colours and story line. Thank you for the tips. I enjoyed it 😊

[@cinnamoncatx2705]

I've learned alot cause I never used any of these rules in any of my art until I said I wanted to improve my art

[@francisleoni2448]

I love how you explain it! So simple and easy to understand.. just like friend talking to a friend 😂💕 love your channel, keep growing! ❤️

4 years after the fact but... ~ split complimentary? ~ Fibonacci ~ spy thriller with James Bond~esque character - maybe being chased by bad guys (hence standing on the roof) as more henchpersons come in from the sea: S/he's surrounded and they have to dodge bullets but then there's a scream of an advanced airborne thingie - maybe a drone that can handle a person's body weight and the drone deploys cover fire and grenade thingies and BOOM and amidst the confusion of the villains, the drone swoops down and our heroine grabs on and flies to safety with a tiny weapon of mass destruction in their pocket! Was I close? Really helpful video btw, thank you!

[@lunar_haze]

Amazing video! It helped me to comprehend a lot of theory that I was struggling with, thanks!

[@Otherworldly23]

For the end: Colour:The drizzle of yellow lines your eyes with the character Story: a ufo landing so emits rays of light to signal its arrival which is why the character is attentive, prob got on the roof to get a better view Rule: not sure but I think spiral rule

[@anon35468]

1) Observing blues and yellows I guess it's complementary. 2) A boy who use to live in a place far away from ocean, set on a journey to see ocean that he heard from trader. He finally his destination he could feel his clothes flowing as wind directs rather than following the road he climbed a house blocking the sun. Light pierced his eyes, he saw birds and boats vanishing in a river going beyond the world, illuminated by sun. 3) Rule of triad

[@sprit3]

Colours are complimentary - Orange & Blue The story looks to be a person looking for freedom, a place beyond the ocean And the rule looks to be all leading to one point? (Draws & follows to the top left corner)
