😢

[@afrancis7475]

BRUHHHH

[@BertHeymans]

Thank you! This explanation was really clear! 🙏

[@Glubbydafish]

Just watched a ton of tutorials on color and nobody explained the basics of hue saturation and value more simple or easy to understand! Thanks so much!

[@Dramakins]

I loved this so much. I feel like no matter how long I'm doing art I always have a tough time with choosing colors. Stuff like this helps so much! Can't wait to see more tutorials! Love to see some about character design and world building!

[@cherylwu25]

While in chinese, red means happy and blue is sad😅

[@ShiloBuff]

This is by far the most insightful tutorial I have seen for palettes. I love it.

[@insentia8424]

One issue I encountered with hue shifting: Yellow. Fuck Yellow.

[@masha8770]

Oooh yes, the one thing that gives me trouble as a complete beginner! Thank you! ♥

[@onii-chanmomo7932]

Your videos are so in depth, easy to follow, and keep my attention til the end of the video. Your page is so underrated and I hope you blow up like you deserve to. ✨

[@MollyL5]

The violet evergarden piece in the thumbnail made me click lol, well done

[@ThePixelExpedition]

Great video on colour theory! I definitely still struggle with this, and while there are a few other tutorials on the subject, yours is probably the most comprehensive. I'll definitely he using this as a resource. Thanks!

[@Finnnloafin]

Wow this is so useful, I've watched a lot of videos on color theory and how to make a palette but this one made it finally click for me! I also love how you show what you do in asprite, it's super easy to follow and now I feel motivated to give pixel art another go, I stopped for a few months because I could never seem to get the colours right. I'm excited to get back into it now that I get it!

[@thylakoto]

Great video, even for non pixel art

[@JbugGaming]

yoo this video is actually great and very helpful, thank you 🙏

[@philiplinden]

This tutorial has finally given me the intuition behind how colors in a pallet relate, especially with hue shifting. Thanks!

[@aeroncalara402]

what software are you using in your pixel arts in the video?

[@mengokey]

and the problem now is why my color box is square??

[@ethanbuttazzi2602]

also something i recommend when making small palettes, start only values no color no saturatiom, use only those and when you tihnk the artwork is ready, slot the colors in and adjust

[@SumikoStuff]

what is the website called? i keep getting the wrong canva website

[@Jusangen]

Dude! That was great! Very comprehensive and concise! I really look forward to your future videos and I'll definitely be checking out your work for some inspectiration. Keep it up!

[@samtaylor2244]

I’m just getting into pixel art in an attempt to make and finding it very difficult being colourblind, but this video was massively useful

[@davkrnk]

Really excited to see your additional videos for the texture and shaders tutorial to come out! I've just found the channel today so ive got plenty to watch ;) Thanks for being very clear with your explanations, it was very easy to understand!

[@FailosHD]

gimme that color theory straight in my veins

[@MunkFano1]

are you going to continue this series?

[@acoupleofgsanrandaneaniandann]

Just realised Hulks room was red and white. Passion and calm.

[@vaaleenn]

Damn, you are really good at what you do! I really enjoyed this vid, keep going mate!!

[@thomass6186]

What game is at 9:30?

[@Bryant_P]

Just wanna say thank you for all the videos you have made on the subject of pixel art. They have been extremely helpful and informative to me.

[@darrylwolfe7359]

Question: if you have made a pallete, does that mean you have to use those colors only?

[@WattDesigns]

Nope! It can be a tough limitation that forces a bit of creativity, but sometimes you just NEED more colors (especially for a game). I’ll usually make a base palette, then add a few more here and there when I need to, and occasionally use some colors that don’t end up on the palette at all I’ll also often use the palette colors and then desaturate them a bit. It would be a bit blinding if all the grass in my game was a very rich saturated green, so I typically make all the floors in my game desaturated to let the players and stuff pop a bit more I usually only rigidly stick to a palette if I’m trying to make something particularly artsy, or maybe something for a T shirt where I can only print with a few colors

[@AdrianAgren]

Great video! I didn't know about the ctrl + u thing and will probably use that further down the line. I would really like to know how you do some of your post-processing in Unity as I struggle with that quite a lot (shadows, dust clouds, etc). Especially so it fits with the pixel art style. Thank you and keep on being awesome!

[@jackssparrow1232]

Thank you!!! I’m starting my own game myself and this has definitely helped me so much❤❤❤ ❤

[@user-darkodbd]

My tip is downloading a photo from a real world example for your pixel art. Put it in Photoshop or whatever program you use and take the color codes from it, 4-6 should be fine. Take color codes from lighter and darker parts and one from the shadows it casts. A simple tree or simular object is a good starting point. Also choose a reference photo that fits the mood of your pixel art goal.

[@tiger_vii]

One of my weakest areas colour theory. Taken 7 courses and most instructors blow over the topic in 2mins or less, and basically just say shift left or right and experiment, see other artists pallettes.....thank you for the crystal clear explanation!❤❤❤

[@joshhieronymus8107]

Would love to see an Animation Tutorial. Very much dig your pacing, and data.

[@5thkiechannel]

Please please please if you can would you please make an animation tutorial? I haven’t seen many good ones in video form for aesprite

[@kaicastle.]

You explained this clearly! Thank you!

[@alexandre2bi554]

Hello, really cool video ! At 6:55 why did you not just use Edit>Adjustements>Brightness ? It opens a windows the same than Ctrl + U (for HUE shifting) but for brightness, it should be easier to setup ? Thanks for all others tips

[@Dooz6]

what should I learn about colors after fundamental stuff (color schemes,value, saturation,etc)

[@kenfrancis4850]

would love a video on spritesheets!! very thorough and informative

[@soundrogue4472]

0:33 I think the one on the right besides the white spots look fine.

[@muktinsh]

One of the best color tutorials out there. Thanks ❤

[@yassmintermizi560]

can you show how to make the pixel art moving?

[@6Pope9]

Absolutely fantastic video man!

[@cathello2900]

Спасибо!👍👍 Дайте нам все знания о спрайте и его размерах на разных экранах.

[@BossSkittles]

Such a phenomenal video, thank you

[@scottyso6]

Hey uhm uh are you ever gonna make another tutorial

[@Jijiproductions3306]

I just discovered this channel and I loved

[@Dumbunny420]

I can chose a three colour palette, maybe a 10 colour palette, but the moment I need the colours to look cohesive in a cute stylized for 100s of assets in a game is so scary

[@Big_Theft_Auto]

Me too but i have started to not be afraid to create a new color from time to time

[@nutszzz5831]

Im still dumb using color 😫

[@christinaVennegerts]

Very well explained =)!

[@IJN-gr6qn]

Thank you, Watt. Your tutorial helped me so much not only with the pixelart basics, but also understanding colour theory as a whole. Hope you have a great week. yeyy

[@sinistarman]

this is good info.

[@Alkurtt]

Thanks!

[@nichegames9590]

Good stuff.

[@Dooz6]

thanks

[@katkazam5246]

I know this video isn't related to the game your making but I left a comment that I hope you have read and If I remember correctly I talked about Stardew Valley feels so alive yet empty at times and the aliveness comes from all the characters and their stories and events but the emptiness I couldn't explain well I know a big contributor to that emptiness was the fact that the characters had this story and these things but they didn't build on that barely at all for a lot of characters for example Abagail talks about how she wants to be a adventurer and is keeping off of her school work but then you motivate her but it doesn't really add to much to the world yeah maybe it adds a tiny statue and you can occasionally find Abagail at floor 20 but other than that it doesn't add much after already going through the characters story so for me at least it gives off a world full of characters but the characters are secretly robots that don't build onto much to their set personality. I might be going too deep into this but I just like how this game is looking and want it to feel good also this video was helpful.
