tips for RENDERING Digital Art (coloring & shading tutorial)

[@BitcrushedMozart]

4:15 This is a common misconception I see in a lot of art instruction. The shadow color temperature is determined by the color of the ambient light. It's not always just the opposite temperature of the direct light. Ambient light mostly takes on the color of the object it is reflecting off of, so a warm light illuminating a room with warm-colored objects will produce warm shadows as well. The reason the misconception is so prevalent is because the most common form of lighting is natural outdoors light. In that situation the direct light from the sun is warm, but the ambient light comes from the sky which in common painting settings is around noon when the sky is blue. That said, it's common to do warm light/cool shadow just because it makes for visually appealing contrast.

[@actafewlactafew]

I drew myself and I didn't have lighting with any warm colours, so it was just cool colours.. Not visually appealing lol.

[@KryjovnikArt]

Oh yeah , you’re absolutely right ! I will pin your comment so people can see this 😅 I’m just so used to drawing characters without any background that I always tend to go with the most simple scenario and this info has completely left my head 🥲

[@nothing.o.8498]

i really really SUCK at lighting so thank you for the extra info of lighting i could work with. i really need to study lighting and colouring man...

[@zara8058]

Well, that's where relativity comes into play. Even if warm light creates warm shadows, the shadows are STILL cool, compared to the light. Generally speaking, blue is a cool tone, and red is a warm tone. Orange is closer to red, so Orange is a warm tone. If you have orange lights, but the shadows are a less saturated orange, the less saturated orange is further away from red, therefore they're cool when compared to the orange, which is warm.

As a traditional artist who has been dabbling in digital art for years and never understanding how the heck to actually get it to look good, this was amazingly helpful. I’d been trying to do everything just by painting it regularly without utilising the features that make digital art so cool like you’ve shown here. Thank you!

[@charlesthescarecrow8183]

I've never related so much to a KZbin comment 😭

[@DJVARAO]

I feel like watching the owl tutorial... 😢🤣

[@What-Memez]

rendering saves lives

[@beepbow8444]

The very first tip about the saturation for base colors is genius!!! I usually do that be default, but I wasn't completely aware of why!

[@-He4v3N_1s_Fu1L-]

in all honesty, you being a self-taught artist and not really using the right terms made this easier to understand so i, as a school taught artist taught using the real terms and all the confusing stuff, found this super entertaining and simple to follow and take note of. thank you for that🙂

[@Teenatini]

THANK YOU Ive been drawing for like 4 years and my colors are always baddd but no one ever told me Flats should be the same saturation??? Thank you that literally made it all make sense

[@zukina5323]

It was my first time hearing that too..i just realized most of my flats are different saturation 🤦

[@greasy_breads]

same oh my lord

[@talynhastime9343]

“This process takes a lot of time and patience” Ah, explains why my drawings suck! I have zero patience 😅

[@dasiajb]

MEEEEEE

[@JJ_0134]

So real... I tend to want to finish a rendered piece in one sitting and wonder why it doesn't look as good as other people's art x'D

[@noahlani6480]

Apparently you have a set amount of “energy” when drawing. I heard suggestions that if you do the sketch today (especially if it takes a lot of time) your brain would be tired so you might need to take a break.

[@2873surabi]

This is actually really helpful. Most videos just mention rendering but don’t go into detail and I’m stuck there like: what the heck even is rendering? What does that mean?!

[@Zickeyo]

Oshi no ko pfp 😭❤️

[@zohir8415]

this is the 1st vid that actually explained the "add the details" part , thank you so much i learned alot 💜

[@SariniyaKiyu]

EVERYTHING WITH ONE BRUSH?!OMG. But honestly, I love how you explained everything so clearly. I feel like I have a better idea on how to proceed now. Thank you❤

[@GabeWilliams]

this was super helpful, I feel like no matter how many times I hear it, I always forget just how important contrast is in composition and rendering whether it's contrast in value or saturation.

[@JJ_0134]

Very helpful! I've been drawing for years and while I have slowly improved I get to points where I'm like "I could really make it pop more", seems I add more realism each time. Thank you so much!

[@kuraikirameki]

its always so cool seeing the different ways artists render !

[@kuraikirameki]

i always go very textured and like to render with harsher lines haha

[@cookiesncream659]

Ok, but can we talk about how gorgeous you are? I love your makeup so much! And the tutorial was so helpful, tysm!!

[@ranaverde786]

I love watching artists explain their process, it gives me inspiration to draw lol I love your art style it’s really beautiful !!!

[@aSnooter]

imagine being this pretty and this talented!! im trying to be like you girl!

[@encapsulatio]

Everything you mentioned she was gifted...she did not work for it. Only thing that she or you can do is work smart and hard, both if possible at the same time and you too could be the next "art youtube influencer". What you mentioned has nothing to do with the art skill itself.

[@eerreerr497]

2:44 GIRLLL FR. I WAS JUST LOOKING AT YOUR MAKEUP AND THINKING THAT. YOURE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

[@Kit_Katttttttt13]

Honestly I learned almost everything I know about art on my own from the internet despite having taken art classes through my school for the last 5 years

[@ornellabarbuio2955]

I love your style and your way of recording and simplifying things in your videos, very Angel Ganev style, another genius... I really have problems generating dynamic poses and clothing details for my character... I don't know how I see but I don't I know how to apply them and the character is not static. If you can make a video about that, it would be great!! Greetings from Argentina keep it up!!

[@KryjovnikArt]

Hey , thank you !! ❤️😄 yes , I’ll definitely be making a video on dynamic posing and stuff sometime soon 😌🤝

[@inn9058]

This tutorial helped me more than most advanced guides! The way you explained it in terms I can actually understand helped a lot! Thank you!!!

[@serupaethyc]

I never comment on art tutorials, but this has to be the most useful rendering tutorial I’ve ever seen. (A lot) I just found your channel, I’m so glad I watched that one KZbin short that popped up on my recommended lol!

[@Galaxara]

excellent tutorial ! i appreciated you mentioned the difference between 2d and 3d shading!

[@candyheartsart]

No I love how simple your explanations are, I think I use a similar process to yours but I think I've been missing out on smaller shadows. Definitely use clipping masks, have been using them for years for shadows and highlights, they are a lifesaver. A lot of my recent art is more of cell shading too because I've been arting for a long time and I've gotten lazy over the years xD your tutorial is fantastic, A+

[@sweetpootato]

This is the easiest to digest type of information--I appreciate this video so much... SUBSCRIBED!

[@narciss7879]

Абалдеть, случайно наткнулась на это видео, стало интересно посмотреть и, правда, видео получилось очень информативным! А ваши арты такие вкусные, что бегом побежала искать соц сети😁

[@KryjovnikArt]

Ой, благодарю !! 😅🥰🥰

[@0DT00]

You are way too underrated i love your art!!!❤

[@KryjovnikArt]

Oh thank you !! 🥰🥰

[@l_luvu]

Thank you! This was so helpful, i've only been doing traditional art and every time i try digital art i question my skills but this tutorial really helped me understand the concept of rendering and colors a lot better!

[@artyreby]

Hello there! First of all, I love your art style! Second of all, as someone that has pretty much never rendered any of her drawings (I've always preferred cel shading) and wanted to start changing the shading style, I found this video really really helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience ^^

[@billciphergirl6049]

Love the Muffet drawing! And the tutorial, or course XD. Very very helpful!

[@xyntuple]

I love how you explain things and your art is absolutely beautiful. Color and rendering were always a big challenge for me, I learned so much from this, so, THANK YOU so much!

[@KryjovnikArt]

Omg thank you so much !!🥹🥰 And you’re welcome 🤝🤝

[@tan_the_man]

thinking of shading and rendering as doing my own make-up is actually so helpful!!!! thank you! I've been getting into semi realistic art and I've never been good or patient at rendering 😅 this is so freaking helpful

[@veryfranticdame8707]

thanks for explaining your rendering process!! I've been drawing digitally for some time but still figuring out my own rendering process so this is really helpful!!!

[@Vnvictoria]

This was so helpful! Thankyou I ALSO LOVE THE COOKIES DRAWINGS FROM CRK THEY ARE AMAZING

[@Zickeyo]

Your art is goals! I want a stylized art style with both soft and cel shading. I always have great ideas for drawings, but they never come out good because I kinda suck! This video did help, tyy

[@All.mighty.banana]

This is the best tutorial I have seen this helped me so mush especially since I just started digital art this year ❤

[@Nana-tl3hg]

the more i see, the more i confirm the ones that have interesting styles are the self taught instead of the ones who comes from school

[@SamuraiShampoo77]

That’s why art school is silly… a degree won’t give you the necessary skills, only you can do that through work

[@idkidkidk262]

i remember when u only had 1k subs!! ur art is amazing keep it up

[@KryjovnikArt]

Oh yeah that was like 3 months ago that’s insane idk how that happened😳😳😳

[@buckethatboy8719]

I just started my first piece with the one brush method and OHHH MY GODDDD. you’re a legend tysm 🙏

[@ancientgrass9691]

thank you for going so in depth with explanations, this is super helpful as someone who is also self-teaching

[@dalazyartist]

Finally someone explained base colord too😭🧚‍♂️✨gurl thank u so much

[@luisa_mitzuki2004]

how this is amazing im a self thought artist as well and this video showed me many ways I can make my life easier, I usually shader on a layer above the flats but I always mix all the shadows and it makes it so hard!!. thinking about separating them from big shadows to little ones makes so much sense and that way I can actually get a smooth result on the skin!! so thank you. im gonna binge watch all ur videos specially the hair one u mentioned. this will help me improve my art to a different level. thank you so much!

[@KryjovnikArt]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you found this helpful 😄🤝

[@inhabitantDunwich]

Thank you so much for your creativity and efforts! You are incredibly talented and you have such a beautiful voice🖤💕 Your videos are very useful and the presentation of information is extremely pleasant and informative.

[@zen4866]

we have a very similar style of rendering, so this video really helps me a lot! i know i can take what i've learned to bring my art to the next level, and it's also nice to know that someone thinks in the same way i do. i hope to one day be as close in skill level as you are!!!!

[@ufoesferico1050]

This is such a compelling explanation. Thank you so much for making this video on rendering, it made me understand some things a little better. Btw, your style is very pretty ✨

[@AnimatedEscapism]

This was the most comprehensive video that I have seen on rendering, and I want to thank you so very much for it! You explained it perfectly, and I know that everybody renders differently, but this is at least a great base. Keep the videos coming, PLEASE! 😅 Can we get some drawing tuts for features (ex. Eyes, lips, hair, noses, etc) too? That would be a great help! Can you tell us how you got into drawing? What drove you to self teach yourself and persevere through the beginning stages of drawing? What are your favorite things to draw? Have you ever considered making a Webtoon? I would love to see your OC’s in different situations. ❤

[@Roseberg._world]

I just find you today I want to say I love your art, its very inspiring see that you learn all alone!, the way you render is basicly... puting make up on our face isn't it? I learn a few things today so im glad you did this video. pls continue the great work you are amazing

[@kathys8261]

This is the first video I watch from u and immediately I got hooked, I really enjoyed the way u explained everything 😊

[@Lizabearay]

HELLOOOOO? THIS WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO I LOVE HOW YOU ACTUALLY EXPLAIN DETAIL BY DETAIL AND SHOW. JUST SUBSCRIBED 😭❤️

[@SquigglesFluffystuff]

This is so soooo helpful. Especially the tip about when to use warm or cold shadows. I've done this in my own art bit I was using them as highlights which just didn't look right.

[@al_terart]

Your style is soo clean and full of life! I've been struggling with my style, watching your video definitely inspired me 💞

[@MadisonHarvill]

This is one of the best videos I have seen on this topic. Simple, straight to the point, and gives visual aid. Thank you! 🩵

[@ezekiel-anjeski]

thank you so much for posting this despite the hesitance, I'm sure this'll help a lot of others as well as myself ^^

[@nope6021]

The tip about knowing how to do makeup = knowing how to render faces, is so true. Im both an artist and a makeup artist and when I went to college for cosmetics, my faces improved soooo much. My idea of forms of the face, planes of the face, blush, and dimension changed to much [for the better] by learning more about makeup and practicing it on many different faces. Makeup is essentially just rendering your own face to be more smooth, vibrant, or detailed so... just do your drawings makeup and you're good!

[@X._.Quixx._.X.]

Oh my gosh! I took a long break bc I was sick and I was like, I wanna come look at my favorite artist and you’ve grown so much! This is so amazing! Congratulations 🎉

[@KryjovnikArt]

Thank yooou!! 🦦🫶🫶 I’d say I realised I want to build a career in art at 16, 4 years ago,when I got to work on my first project in game dev, but I started taking it REALLY seriously after I dropped out of my university like 9 months ago to try doing art and hopefully KZbin full time 🙂it’s complicated but it’s working out well so far
