Tutorial: Coloring and Shading - Digital Art

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Colors can really make or break a piece.

[@Saviroosje2]

yes for sure! And it can so easily be fixed too!

[@johncovington4585]

Micah Buzan so true

[@Rin-qj7zt]

Yeah.. I was doing an art piece and my line art looked amazing (comparative to my skill level) but then I added color and it looked laughably amature.. which I guess is true to reality..

[@macandcheeseflavoredmilkke7056]

And that's why I keep my sketches as sketches

[@isaacgarate9538]

Aaaaand that’s why I don’t color It’s scary

this is so trippy tbh the left looks like it was done by someone who just picked up a tablet and the right looks like an experienced digital artist and yet both linearts are the same. the only difference is the colouring.

[@Saviroosje2]

+Vivien Wolfwright yes and thats why coloring is so important!

[@blackpkerstr]

She also put in like 2-3 more levels of shading/lighting and detail into the right piece... just saying. Not to disagree with the lesson or anything.

[@queep8197]

That’s how coloring works my dude

[@Rekter]

Vivien Wolfwright But the sad thing is...both of them look better than my art xd

[@BettyNoireMaSTeRProCraStInaToR]

Personally I think the right one could get some work, it doesn’t even look like shading lmao, but since this is from 2017, I won’t take it as a latest example of their current work.

[@RonnyDoodles]

I sometimes still see many adult artists still use black and white for shading, but in reality the ONLY thing that is actually really black are your pupils, because everything else gets hit by light. Great tutorial and you really point out what is the right way to go! ^^

[@Saviroosje2]

Ronny Doodles Thanks so much! Yes indeed. But it seems so tempting to use black and white. I only use white for sparkles and those kinda things ( still depends on the environment, if it is a dark drawing, there won't be white) But it is a hard thing; coloring. Because reality is sometimes different thab what we think. But hey, that is very interesting to learn! :) thanks for the support!!!

[@jcdrawings1616]

Hey xo

[@shadovars9477]

but what if the character is drawn in black and white?

[@MissLilCuteTea]

shadovar S is good to use black for line art! But in your environment or background, if you are shading for a black or white part of your drawing like an outfit make sure your base color is lighter than just a solid black or solid white, so it fits with the envoirment then you shade with a different color such as purple for shading and light yellow for lighting! I hope this helps!! :D

[@FJ-pw1zo]

The pupils aren't really that deep black though.

[@CocoasArt]

Omg I honestly never thought about this Thank you for this tutorial

[@NoName-ld7gg]

I'd also suggest educating yourself about color theory and color spectrums. It helps tremendously!

[@elise9084]

I've been doing digital art for about about a year now, and I use IbispaintX. I sometimes do my light shading with an airbrush because the other tools just don't get the affect I want :/

[@papermoon5517]

Same here! I'm hoping to move on from IbisPaint X to Paint Tool Sai once I get a drawing tablet because it just makes my art look not so good and it's still quite difficult to use :\

[@faith4disney]

I use that program as well, doesn't work like the others.

[@jjoudy126]

[@joyfullyitdevours]

Yeah. It’s pretty much the best it gets, but I’m pretty comfortable with Ibis so I don’t plan on moving any time soon.

Although your message and point is good, the process of showing it is questionable. There is an obvious performance difference in the first coloring and the second coloring. I understand the fact that the airbrush is a quicker way to color, but the time of _care_ taken in to each drawing is pretty different. If you were to prove a point where coloring and shading makes a difference, try to make each subject the same as possible, with identifying variable. There are two identifying variables in this video, with one being care of coloring, and two, the actual coloring.

[@uberRandom-9]

Instead of telling us that this is the *right* way to shade, you may tell us that this is the way *I* shade.

[@NessieNomsChu]

She also explained that using the airbrush can make you think you’ve finished already, and that’s why beginner artists go so fast.

[@angeldeschain0]

This comment just expressed what I was thinking

[@scp-682-cu6]

idk why she would go in depth on showing us the technique that she doesn't think is as efficient

[@chesspiece4257]

Neither of the pictures on the thumbnail look bad, the left one is just cartoonish and stylized, while the right one is more realistic.

[@MewMewSun]

Kivy Katt This video is about breaking from the comfort zone of going lighter or darker from the color wheel. Neither one is bad. I like both. But the other slightly more advanced.

[@user-yo2ku4uv4k]

No, the left one looks like someone who just started doing art and doesn't spend time studying colors, and the right one looks like it's made by a person who knows what they're doing and who has a way better grasp at art

[@SinerAthin]

I have to disagree. To be clear, you don't have to follow the methods mentioned in this video or spend lots of extra time to get decent coloring. Take a look at anime for instance. Their coloring is very simplistic, but still manages to look good. Same with some comic artists. The way they color their comics can be very simple, yet you can still see the clear skill in the final piece even with a relatively simple but deliberate(important!) coloring technique.

[@ithzelmelgarejo5381]

SinerAthin while Anime does a more simplistic approach to their coloring, they (the animators) don’t have much time to perfectly color each frame same with comic artists/authors and so they have to use a more simplistic approach HOWEVER they still keep I mind color theory and what looks good and what doesn’t. Not very often will you find an anime that uses coloring methods as shown on the right, that is using a darker color of the same hue to shadow

[@Tralfazz74]

This is something I've seen done a lot, but never really put to words. This is a tip I've been missing from my toolbox for years - thank you

[@Saviroosje2]

Most welcome! ^^ you can do it!!!

[@karla221000]

I still have some trouble when I try to color something that's supposed to be black or white and, I don't know, I'm trying not to use black but then I pick like blue, but like gray-ish blue? [I don't know if I should make it like gray] and I end up making it really dark so it looks like black but then when I add shadow it doesn't really look like it has shadow at all xD because it's too dark! and sometimes I don't know if I should use purple, green or blue for that black thing I want to color, I feel uncertain about what I'm doing when I try it out for example, right now I'm trying to color a doberman with its collar, it's pink and the edges are black, I don't know what kind of color I should use instead of that black and I have a lot of trouble with it, because I try different colors and I'm still not sure about it, how do I know how to choose the right color for the black things I want to color?

[@Saviroosje2]

Awh! I understand your struggles, it is indeed really hard! I still struggle with it a lot too! It mostly is a but more blue-ish or green-ish! You could also try and take pictures of dark objects, place them in your program and use the eye-dropper to pick the colors! You will understand more of color when you do so! Because it also depends on the light, is it warm light or cold light? ( Warm light would most likely make the black color look more yellow/red, while with cold light the colors will be more blue and green!) It still is really hard and I couldn't find a good tutorial to explain it actually. I might make an in depth video about it because I find it very interesting as well, and I also still struggle with it. I hope this helps you a bit!

[@jassykat]

This is a clear demonstration of how important is to understand color theory.

[@jojooffaraway2675]

This is so amazingly helpful. I watched other tutorials but I never got a so clear side by side comparison so I never understood it before but now I do. That really helped. Thank you!

[@Saviroosje2]

Glad you found it helpful! I am happy you understand it as well, have fun with creating more art! ^^

[@DorkyPorl]

Thank you so much for this! The color wheel technique was super helpful and my teacher was impressed with the detail I used for the art project I did.

[@biggiecheese253]

The left one looks like a plastic or glass doll and the right one looks like a real person! But I can say that I really, REALLY like the skirt on the left one for some reason... So glassy

[@Saviroosje2]

Yeah I could go through as a leather / shiny fabric skirt! ^^ Thank you btw!^^

[@ktinrein]

Tip for shading secondary colors! Example: Green Blue + Yellow= Green Use the darker color as the shader so blue for shading And then use the lighter color for highlights so yellow

[@kyle-carpio]

I mean... both are good and it depends of the art style of your drawing, but yeah I can really understand what you mean there. Thanks for the video though, it really helps.

[@sanguinesatellite808]

Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful for me. I used to use a lot of black and white. I change black to like, a dark cyan now, and I change white into a light greyish blue. It looks much better and makes it easier to shade and light.

[@Saviroosje2]

Good to hear! I am glad I could help! ^^

This is great, really love the tips and tricks you talk about in it, but why are there little shiny dots and streaks on the sweater and skirt? Unless the fabric was leather, or something similar, it wouldn't have as much of a bright shine to it, right?

[@boxcarwillies1603]

I like this shading technique, but I don't have a "brush" tool in the program I use. Would watercolor work as a substitute?

[@Saviroosje2]

Yes I think so! Which program do you use? ^^

[@boxcarwillies1603]

I use firealpaca. It's free, but is very useful.

[@nylo_arts]

I use Firealpaca as well. Yes, Watercolor will work. Just play with the settings till you get a blending effect that you like.

How do you know what colour to switch to for lighting and shading off your base colour?

[@Saviroosje2]

+patrick davis tha depends on the environment! If its a bright sunny day the colors will be different than when its a sunset for example!

[@patrickfuckingdavis]

Saviroosje2 ok I think I understand. I appreciate the feedback :)

It helps to take photos of yourself in different lighting, then sample the different colors that reflect off your body.

Thanks so much for this! I'm not a beginner in tradional or digital art by any means, but this really helps because I've been struggling with colour, shading, and blending forever now. Using these tips, I believe I can actually improve now! :)

[@furbyclub3046]

I suppose it depends on wether the artist wants it it to look more realistic or cartoon-ish. I like the way the one on the right was coloured and it’s beautiful to look at but I draw more like the left one because my art style is more like a cartoon/comic book. The shading tips were useful though.

[@airtemis]

This is soooo helpful. I've been so frustrated with my digital art lately because it always looks like the left side. Thank you! I can't wait to try your style on the right!

[@georgiabennett8533]

I like the left side more than the right, because there's more saturation, which draws more attention to the image or picture. Texture and shading wise, the right side is better, of course you can agree with that, but the left side is better in my opinion because of those reasons. The left side looks more clearer also. :D (Just my opinion, don't know if anyone else agrees with me lol)

[@notastudio9960]

Georgia Bennett You can implant both without losing professional shading.

[@j.h170]

Both work The left side can look really good if you’re planning on working in a cartoony look the right one is a bit more realistic

[@isabella1878]

Georgia Bennett I like the left better too... :D

[@JasmineRobotnik]

thank you so much for this! I have been struggling in my shading. I was not happy with how i shaded things and i couldnt figure out why. and it turns out i was using thoes " beginner mistakes" I used the air brush a lot. After watching you shade, and what tools you used, ect.. I tried it out myself, and WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MADE!!! Even the color wheel thing made a hell of a diffrence. SO THANK YOU!

Thank you for the tips. I have been drawing on paper for almost 3 years now. I have recently, as in last month, switched to digital art because that's what I will need to do for video game concept art in the future. All of my drawings would come out like the one on the left in your video. This was a problem since I wanted to draw realistic flesh, bone, and fabric. But I'm going to try these tips on my next drawing and compare it to my previous drawings.

Thumbnail left art: Virgin Young Artist Thumbnail right art: Chad Tumblr SJW Artist

[@irumara]

what does this even mean

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

4:39 I like what you’re saying about the black. Not only would you not be able to shade pure black but black fabrics aren’t pure black, they usually have undertones of green, red, or brown, and so using an extremely dark cool or neutral color that LOOKS black would be easier to shade and also just more true to Life.

[@lostinfantasy2489]

Is this art program free?

[@Saviroosje2]

Stacey A nope! It costs around 40 dollar I believe. However: Fire Alpaca is a similar program and that obe is free!

[@placecalledmars3691]

No but there is a KZbin video on how to get it for free

[@aydandraws9444]

Medibang is free and really similar

[@oklejla7814]

[@MewMewSun]

Stacey Allwood Use Medibang (free)or Krita (free new thing I found with aweessooooome brushes). I have Sai as well and am more comfortable with it because I have had it since 2009 but the newer program is really cool because I don't have to make my own brushes much.

Excellent use of color theory: Colder color when going darker and complimentary colors for contrast. As far as I can see, realism is not what is the main focus here. (not a bad thing at all!) In the case of realism, there are some extra tricks and tips to keep in mind. Materials, light behavior, atmosphere and perspective are just of the examples. Love your work.

This tutorial was quite helpful. Thank you :D Since i'm a beginner (whoho, room for improvement), i had really problems with chosing the right colors, because every time it just looked 'wrong'.

HUh, no wonder why when I do the second on it looks more eye-catching. I have been recently moving out of the black and white colorways and starting to use more variety in my arts. Now my assumption is confirmed, unless it is a dark place then there will always be at least two sources of light to reflecting off a noun (person place or thing.) Thx:)
