[TUTORIAL] How to Pick Shading Colors!

[@Tenchigo100]

Holy shit. You actually broke down the process and gave a clear pattern to use. Most tutorials give vague advice like "pick lighter colors" or "don't ever use black, get creative." This helps so much. It inspires me to color alot more!!!

[@TheEmperorT]

i highly agree

Agreed, it's great to get more explicit advice. If you're interested in an even more thorough breakdown of how to understand shading colour, I recommend this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naivgmOZecdnmac

It's crazy how no one else has a tutorial covering this subject. Thank you so much!!

[@Insideranon]

I love how simple you made it, and it's pretty much the look I'm going for

[@weekdaywings]

Excellent explanation. Simplifies color theory in a way that it can be easily understood by anyone. Most other KZbin tutorials simply say "choose a lighter/brighter/darker color" without addressing how to maintain harmony with your base/local color.

[@Ash-ct5iz]

I’ve been trying to find out how to find the right colors and struggled so much until I find this? This tutorial is so on point wow thank you so much you’re a life-saver

[@kiddoshamthelast4366]

I have a feeling you will grow pretty quickly.

[@interestingg2793]

5:34 Another thing with the never pick black thing (pick something more purple or etc) in my opinion is, when the color sceme is more warm pick warmer colors for black and when its more cold pick colder colors for black.if this makes any sense

[@irrevenant3]

Yup. Pick purple is decent general advice but it will vary depending on the ambient and environment lighting conditions.

[@Giftini]

Great tutorial! Omg I can't believe you're only 15 thooo, you're so good at this 👍👍👍

God finally someone explained this in a way that it makes sense, the other was like "yeah just use your intuition", like i am new here, i don't have those "intuition". Anyway, thank you so much for the tutorial, gonna recommend it everyone who asked for good tutorial

[@FloydTheWolf]

Just wanted to say, it's been a year since I watched this video (and I've watched dozens other art videos since then) but this is by far the most helpful tutorial on the matter to be found on KZbin!

[@heibai1173]

This is exactly what I needed. Colors and shading are so difficult for me. It’s a whole new world. This really helps. Thank you!

[@OcioCamaraMx]

I've seen so much color theory videos to end up more confused than I was. I always listened to advice about just picking a darker shade but not explaining how or using a multiply layer but I don't want the overall shades and you just explained it perfectly!

[@lemondrop.tr3e]

isn't it ironic that i'm drawing while watching this i love your tutorials keep it up bro 👌

[@ZakSaturdayLover11]

Best tutorial I've seen on this topic - just goes straight to the point!!!

[@aliceinnude]

Thank you so much! You're the first person to explain this in a way I could understand and you answered so many questions I've had. I would love a video where you go into colour theory further!

[@nepuchan8513]

honestly a godsend, i just got my tablet and watching this made me pretty nice at shading HO HO

[@petloveraw]

Thank youu so many tutorials on shading just talk about lighting but not actually how to choose the colours for shading😭 youre a godsend

[@NeonnaCh]

Thank you so much! I kept looking for a tutorial like this. Some of the other videos are fine, just hard to follow considering I don't go to art school and aren't familiar with how they describe things. This one is really easy to follow and remember. Thanks for taking the time recording and explaining. Also for sharing the tips! Stay artistic. ✨

[@koskk_]

Bro this is so massively helpful. Like you would not believe

[@Joker-qn1cr]

This guy here is honestly my savior 🙌

[@xXMaoKittyCatXx]

I really like how you explain it I had trouble with other tutorials, you're like my new art teacher!

[@sparkylongtail2705]

NOTE: I know this is an older video but i could see this going wrong easily. When you are using green, go to Blue instead of purple. I noticed he didn't choose green and therefore didn't run into the issue you will have by going counter-clockwise to reach purple. Use purple as a guide until yellow, then go clockwise. You will get a muddy hue if you try to use yellow as a shading color for green.

[@fishflakes_]

omg thank u ilysm 💕

[@bii_gii]

brofessor, you are amazing. thank you so much for all these guides. I've never made the jump to improving my digital art past sketching and amateur, shabby coloring for more finished works but these videos help a lot. I appreciate the more casual approach. Makes it sound like a skilled friend is dropping some knowledge on you in a call or somethin.

[@appleknocker56]

Being from a generation with no cell phones or home computers it must be very nice to check out the color before mixing it & it looks “terrible”! Ty for showing ppl how to use these apps as for me to late to even try to learn how to use an app & then actually do it right! You know your stuff!

[@camilserapian7675]

Shading is like harmony in music .

[@alaa3275]

You actually cracked the code for shading colours. thank you so much

[@curka7739]

as a traditional artist tysm! i always see everyone saying to just make a layer, set it to multiply and then use a blue or red colour in the shadow areas but like... HUH??? you want me to use a layer on my traditional PAPER? using colour pencils??? since then i’ve gotten better and sort of already understood what was being said in this video, but I was really unsure of it and scared to try out of fear or ruining my drawings so it’s nice to have it actually confirmed :)

[@tasmiarafiq3240]

been using this for a while :-) i can say its a really good way of shading and 101% percent reccomend

tip: don't be afraid to shade skin with a hint of dark purple. it makes it look more natural. but the GOLDEN RULE FOR THIS TIP IS *B L U R I T*

[@Lucy360.]

Hello there! I've been watching your videos for quite a while and came across this tutorial again. But recently, I've been having trouble with shading white clothing. Like hoodies/shirts. It's not that I have trouble with shading in general (I've watched your shading clothes tutorial) I just have trouble picking shading colors for white. I hope you can make an updated version of this video including shading colors for white. I've searched around KZbin and the internet for a decent, "How to pick shading colors for white" tutorial but couldn't really find one. Again, I've been subscribed to you for quite a while and I think your art is AWESOME! Keep it up, king!

[@max_punch]

Try to use light blue

[@GARfearfak]

could it be that adjusting the color "towards pruple" seems to work best, because it suguests the influence of ambient light across the spectrum? i don't know tbh, but is seems plausible to me, since pruple isn't "real" but the result of blue and red receptors fireing equally ambient light is allmost allways a mixture of reflective lightsources across the spectrum.

[@Van-Leo]

id like to add! his reasoning for picking the colors he did was that they were all on different parts on the color wheel/square. while that works in theory, the problem is the Value of color. how light or dark it is. so you can have a very saturated yellow and a very saturated red, and they will still be on opposite sides of the value spectrum. yellow is lighter than red even if they are fully vibrant. if you go to windows settings and enable color filters you can set up a hot key to view your screen in monochrome, so black - white. you can see his hair value and his ribbon value are very close in value, almost the same grey. they look good in color but neither pop. that is not a bad thing, you may want a character to be all one value for one reason or another. being able to see value helps you in finding out what parts of the picture will pop though, regardless of color. a fun challenge you can do is to turn on the monochrome filter and paint something without knowing what color you're picking, and pick often. once you've made everything look good value wise you can take the filter off and see that it still looks great with all the random colors because everything is the right value!

[@simplified42]

The reason why you should move for the shading towards purple is because all hues still have a value. Colors like red and blue are darker than green and yellow. So if you move towards purple is because you'll get a darker color with the full chroma. Also about color warmth, color coolness is relative. If you put a cold color in a warm surrounding it appears more cooler. But you can still use the left side of the ring as warm and the right side as cool. Don't worry too much about it in the beginning.

this video was super helpful. do you plan on doing a video for a highlights? Because often I'm not sure what color I should be using for the highlights. is it a similar process like picking shading colors?

[@imisstakes]

So,for the lighting I can just pick a color near of the yellow,goin on diagonal to the left,making it less saturated and and more bright? Sorry for my english

[@julien4305]

It depends on the color of light though If its just plane ol' white light then probably

[@eyeelevenstar2258]

your english is actually really good! there's a few errors, but the main thing i noticed is that spaces come after commas. your comment would end up looking like this, after i made a few more adjustments: "So, for the lighting I can just pick a color near the yellow, go diagonal to the left, making it less saturated and more bright?"
