    5:38 Black doesn’t bounce light because the black color literally comes from it absorbing most to all the light, so none can bounce back

      THANK YOU!!! i had known it was something like this but i hate saying stuff unless im 100% sure of myself, especially when it comes to science stuff... at some point i may need to study up on light science again just so i can figure out how to break down the concepts better for art demos

    My favorite thing is growing up I was accidentally taught the concept of bounce light by playing in the yard I honestly suggest trying this. We would pick buttercups from the yard and hold them close to our faces to create a yellow glow on us and I think about that every time I hear about bounce light

    at 9:09, you're right about the sky being the cause of blue shadows.
    the atmosphere scatters blue light more than warmer colors of light, which is why the sky is blue! when an object casts a shadow on a clear sunny day, most of the remaining light that reaches the shadow is going to be the ambient blue light from the sky, giving the shadow a blue hue.
    lighting made so much more sense to me personally when i started thinking about the physics of it, so i hope this helps someone out! :)
    marco bucci also has some great videos on ambient light, i think that's where i first learned about it.
    looking forward to more stream highlights!!

    as someone who usually just throws a multiplication layer over everything, and then erases/lessens areas for light, and attempts to darken other areas for deep shadow, this was fairly educational. i would say most, if not all my shadows are not correct lmao, i just try to use colors that work together with the other colors. usually i just look at my piece, figure out if it's warm or cold, and then decide whether i want to compliment the piece with shadows, or if i want to experiment with colors that might add a contrast. that's less about light like you were talking about and mostly about shadows though. i am not methodical with my art at all, i just try to do what i can to make myself happy with what im working on. i'd say i kinda suck even but idc because most of the time i can accomplish what im going for. thanks for the video though, it definitely helped

    • @fourleafisland
      @fourleafisland  26 дней назад +12

      of course!! and truly, im sure your art doesnt suck. if anything, id encourage you to try this rather than a multiply layer every so often, like just to experiment a little. it doesnt even need to be for a finished piece, i started out doing this by doing cubes or a ball!
      what i can say is, even if you wind up using multiply layers to shade, knowing why you do what you do will help you figure out how to improve instead of just feeling like something is vaguely 'wrong' with a drawing and not being able to figure out why!
      so, dont be so hard on yourself, im cheering for you! thank you for watching this through, i hope it helps and that youll keep drawing in the future!! :D

    Warning, scientist add XD
    Primary light colors (at least for us human) are red, green and blue. For example, yellow light is created by green + red so it will never reflect blue light, cyan is blue + green so no red and magenta is blue + red so it won't reflect green
    These are a good thing to know :D
    White reflects all, black absorbs all

    Really interesting how many parallels show up when learning to draw with shader programming experience. When you think of it as how light works in the real world (specular vs ambient vs diffuse/scattering) it starts to make a lot more sense. Awesome stuff! I'd be interested in seeing if any artists might research how the different types of light work at a scientific level

  • @the_power_gm
    @the_power_gm 20 дней назад +3

    hi! studying astrophysicist here. i stumbled upon your channel (instantly subbed btw this is fantastic) and thought it might be fun to add a couple different things about light that might be interesting when it comes to playing with fun lighting situations or understanding them:
    The simpler stuff:
    light, as you mentioned, reflects off of surfaces similar to billiard balls. in effect we approximate them as particles in this interaction (although waves behave the same). When referring to the secondary sources of light it's somewhat more accurate to consider that any surface that is being shined upon can be thought of as a radial light source. that is, light is being reflected from it in every direction! the rare (extremely rare) exception is an ideal surface with a perfectly smooth texture and simple interaction with light. in this and only this case light reflects off of the surface in exactly one direction only, and so you'd want to actually plan out where the light rays are hitting ;p
    another interesting property of light is refraction. i won't get into the science of it and bore you but essentially light just bends as it moves through different media. this includes changes of composition (air to water) or changes in pressure/density (shallow/deep water) and results in a more blobby and chaotic source of light dependent on the shape and composition of the material. a related phenomenon is dispersion wherein light's interactions with the composite particles of the media change how different wavelengths (or colours) of light travel. that is, dispersion gives us that rainbow effect :) for simplicity's sake you can assume any compositionally different material to air will turn white light into its rainbow makeup at the edges (inside it all mixes again into white, hence why you don't just see a solid rainbow shape)
    The more complex stuff:
    this one's interesting for the more nerdy applications and light studies you might want to look at. light actually travels and interacts very differently depending on the material, especially if we're considering crystalline materials. light will almost (not always) travel through along the line it entered, but it will also be in a way "multiplied" along a particular axis related to the crystal's symmetry. What I mean by that is that for most crystals you actually get two images for the light that entered. This effect is called birefringence if you'd like to read up more on it.
    This is a radically interesting effect to play around with, especially if you consider a non-uniform crystal. that is, a crystal that is composed of many different sub-crystals with their axes of symmetry pointed in different directions.
    another similar property is reflectiveness due to crystalline structure. more simply, each crystal has particular planes of symmetry throughout due to how the particles are symmetrically distributed. light can reflect off of those planes only! and each crystal type (based on pattern, not necessarily material) has a unique set of planes for light to be reflected off of. that is, crystals in a particular symmetry group will reflect light in exactly known directions and only those directions.
    The combinations of these two effects from a branch of physics known as condensed matter physics gives us the most wonderful luminous effects to explore, even just in concept. it's where we get such pretty results from light study art focusing around such materials or where we get certain types of fun items like party glasses.
    one final note is just a fairly well known idea that certain light sources are composed of different spectra of light. that is, if you're taking a light source to be something like coming from a physical/chemical reaction of sorts e.g. neon, halogen, LED lights, they emit only specific frequencies (colours) of light, so it's useful to be aware of if the light being reflected or shown actually theoretically exists! Other light sources would be black bodies like the sun which emit light in EVERY wavelength possible. this is a continuous spectra and you don't have to worry about what's being reflected, just mainly worrying about what the dominant frequency is :)
    either way i hope you enjoyed my nerd rant as much as i enjoyed your video! hopefully some of my blabber might inspire you to test out some more niche lighting situations for your own amusement :)

    Hey, nerd here, don't know if someone gave you guys the explanation but don't care, here is why black doesn't reflect, the reason? It absorbs all color/light.
    Basically all the color we see, you look down to a shirt, for example and it's red! You only know it's red because of the light bouncing of the shirt, if there's no light, no color, so why is the color red? Think of the light as a tube for sake of simplicity, this tube has all colors, and something that holds all colors at once is white, like the the Pink Floyd album with the prism on it, if a shirt bounced the light tube as it is, it's color will be white, so a shirt is red because it's absorbing every color from the tube except red, so what returns to you is only that, so when a black surface exist, it's because all colors from the tube are being sucked in, not bounced back, hence if they are all being bounced back, less light is bounced back, and no color, vanta black for example, it's like the strongest black I think, strongest pigmentation, if you put a flash light against it, it absorbs all.
    Sorry for the wall text, if I got something wrong shoot me dead but the rough explanation is this! :D

    This is a good and fine tutorial…..assuming you kinda know the background steps >->
    Stuff like the layer groups, layer placements, and color usage, is completely lost on someone as new as me sadly. I feel like half of the art showed here was made with layer placements and more advanced usage in mind, so when you make the whole thing green near the start, no clue what that means, then you start painting on specific parts by changing layers? Does this mean for every shadow and or color i make, it should be on a new layer? The layer groups? Are they required or just there for organization? The sudden cuts where the green shadows get colored in, i can only assume were painted in like you did the face, but i can only really guess in that department, and i wanna make sure im not manually doing something that has a more efficient way to do it. And finally the fact that the layers overlay in different ways that in all honesty im too inexperienced to even explain how ;-;.

    I think you forgot talking about the blend mode of the layer (multiply, hard light, etc), or maybe i just missed it?
    Anyway, nice video, very helpful!

    • @fourleafisland
      @fourleafisland  25 дней назад +1

      i actually dont use any blend modes! i just pick the colors for the layers by hand. i think it helps you practice color theory a lot more, though in the future i may do a video specifically dedicated to how i go about picking colors!

    • @samblero
      @samblero 24 дня назад

      @fourleafisland I understand what you say but I'd suggest still explaining it because in some scenarios it becomes extremely complicated to make a zone darker only with colors when it has too many little elements like complex fur patterns or grass with plants.
      I'd love to see that video about picking colors, ty for your reply! ^w^

    hm to me you doing it a bit overcomplicated. like why drawing a frame to fill it like oldschool cellshading if the lasso fill exist? you also fill out all the stuff with normal brush instead using the bucket tool ? Clipl studio's bucket is very accurate so almost no white pixel remain (especially on vector layers) takes you less than 1 second compared to what is like 2 minutes...

    • @fourleafisland
      @fourleafisland  Месяц назад +10

      @@glasperle77 i like using drawn cells because it gives my shadows the textures of the brush i use, where a lasso fill would just give everything an even outline. for me, style/texture is much more important than efficiency.
      ill admit though - nobody needs to color by hand to make this work, i just like doing that LOL. it allows me to yap with chat while doing something kind of mindless, and i just like coloring ^7^

    Really interesting how many parallels show up when learning to draw with shader programming experience. When you think of it as how light works in the real world (specular vs ambient vs diffuse/scattering) it starts to make a lot more sense. Awesome stuff! I'd be interested in seeing if any artists might research how the different types of light work at a scientific level

      Take a reference picture of someone’s face in the sun, and squint. You can see the blotches of light much easier this way. Outline where the shadows are on a quick sketch to get a quick feel for it
