the warm tones often look oversaturated which is an awesome effect for some pieces but the cool tones are much more pleasing to the eye for me and they look well ...cool!
The finished result is amazing! In cinematography you’re supposed to light people with dark complexions with green and purple light so that you can capture all of their features, and I think that the shading in cool tones really captures darker skin in a beautiful way.
I think both could work depending on the person you're drawing. Since some people have a warmer skin tone warm colors are great for them but other people have cooler skin tones. Both is good, but art is art. It's whatever you like to do.
I actually color that way on a digital canvas as well because I want to learn and it's fun. Just out of curiosity - what is your main approach when coloring digital art? :)
Okay so I just wanted to say that I got into an art university recently and my first homework assignment in one of my classes was to choose one of my favorite artist and talk about them. Lo and behold, I chose you. Got a pretty sweet grade too.
@@ssavaart can you please draw the girl with pearl earring on the next music Monday but the pearl earring should be missing cuz of the hole in the disc
Honestly it looks even more like skin when you do use cool tones! However I completely understand why you prefer to use warm tones, the desired colour/tone presents itself almost immediately, where as with cool tones it seemed to take you a lot longer to build the colours up to a realistic point. Both look incredible!!
I love your cool colors! Though your warm color art is far more vibrant, the cool colors feel more "real" in a way! It definitely feels like the page has more "human" in it!
Wow I really like this one with cool colors! I'd love to see you incorporate more cool colors as a challenge for your traditional art! I appreciate the introspective nature of your voice overs.
I’m an autistic artist. I didn’t really grow up drawing, so I often feel pretty insignificant compared to my friends, who are absolutely incredible artists. You changed that. I still often feel kinda bad about my art, but now, I’m still willing to try again despite everything. Thank you so much for being who you are and making me feel like I belong in an artist’s community.
@@justadudewholikestotalk i get your point, but i don't view this entirely as "random". for one, scott is autistic, it could just be someone that likes his work showing some relation to him. for another, they may list it in relation to some of what they describe later on in their message. the feeling of being discouraged by their advancement with art could (to them) have some relation to their autism or how it affects their perception of their art compared to their friends, which may be why they listed it.
I like using the cool colors a lot better actually! People have very unique undertones and it's common (especially in the beauty industry) to make darker skin tones very orange so I think using cooler colors feel a lot more realistic
You could try drawing someone using a combination of both, using the cooler colors for darker/occlusion shadows and the warmer ones for lighter shadows and blushy areas
Bro, that turned out realistic. Never thought someone could draw a realistic portrait with markers. It turned out better than the warm ones imo even if the warmer ones are more artsy haha
A lot of people tend to make darker skinned people warm toned when we can also be cool and neutral toned. Would love to see you throw in some new art portraying people with blemishes, vitiligo, hyperpigmentation, moles, freckles, female facial hair, and scars.
I think it has to do with brown being a dark shade of orange which is warmer. With that said, when you incorporate cooler contrasts of a bluer variety I do think it often looks stunning!
When I watched the Lizzo video, that was honestly one of my first thoughts! As someone with cooler/olive undertones, I think you did an excellent job of sticking to your style and getting a similar end projuct with a different way of getting there. Love you and your work! ♡
Definitely prefer cool colors, it gives a more realistic feeling, and it looks more natural. Something about the warm colors just looks off to me. I am aware warm and cold skin tones exist , but the translation into art can have different outcomes with the media used . I design characters for Roleplay and other projects, so I tend to experiment at color theory. Skin tone deteinines a lot of factors for me.
the first time i heard of LLCoolJ was when reading a long way gone and seeing steve draw something so amazing even when working with new things really brightens my day
I can definitely tell you’re more comfortable with warm colors, but the cool colors really emphasize the realism in your drawing style. I think it turned out really well.
I know this is late but thank you for the message in this video. I had a breakdown last night over an art project for school. I want to go to art school after i finish highschool and i thought i wasnt good enough for it, but now that ive calmed down, ive realized that its okay, and im still learning.
I really like the cool colors. I think it is much better than the warms as all the layers are more subtle which makes it feel thag much more intricate to me. I know you like the warm tones as they pop more but idk I always like cold better. Whether it is the weather or colors. Cold is my favorite always, guess it is that undying subconscious loyalty or something 🤷🏼♀️ 😂
The cool colours give it a more realistic vibe but the warm colours give it a bright pop of colour and it just comes up to what you prefer and/or what you're trying to achieve.
Scott you’ve really got to start accepting compliments my man. Your art is leagues above all but one person I know, and they look up to you more than I do.
i ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOVE that you're not afraid to "be bad" in the public eye. As someone who is just getting started later in life its super refreshing to see even someone as talented as you are doesnt get it "right " every time.
I love how you take the suggestions of your followers and actually experiment with stuff outside your comfort zone, it usually turns out amazing even if you say you'd never do it again lol You're really funny and I love your art too
I love that there is always a free therapy session and life advice with his drawing videos, I love drawing, and sometimes I just don’t have the energy and watching him along with his kind words can really make my day
Cool colors are so much better in my opinion! They really make the art serious and full of respect while warm colors make the art pop and become party like
Heya! You have really inspired me when I was at my lowest and close to giving up on art. This was until I heard you say art is supposed to be fun, and that experimenting is supposed to make you uncomfortable, lately I've been experimenting with my own art! And it's really helped me grow since I was stuck at drawing the same thing over and over.
I love the cool tones! In my opinion it looks better, I think because it looks more realistic? Idk but I'm a huge fan of all of your work so I'm here for whatever!!!
With the warm colors it makes it look like they’re in dramatic lighting and in the cool colors it’s like a bit more realistic but as it there’s a hint of blue ( which makes sense) they both look awesome though keep it up!
That look really good I love drawing and doing art and your videos help me not only get out of art block but to now that everyone goes through hard times you just have to get though it and you can always try again! Thanks Scott ❤
“It’s only paper, this isn’t life and death” you’re right
It doesn’t feel like that though lmao
This is what to tell yourself to not feel nervous before an exam
Tell that to my brain 😭
2,4k likes and 3 comments?lemme fix that
My brain: yall hear sum?
I think the cool tones brought a more natural, realistic aspect to the piece. Very lovely ❤️
2.8k likes and no comments
I think it's because you said it well
@@coomer7879 thank you
I agree! Was gonna say the same.
Exactly
That's because he used a mix of warm and cool tones, introducing some realistic daytime lighting as a result.
This actually looks more like a real persons skin tone as oppose to the warm colors
Yeah I was thinking something very similar.
The warm colours can look a bit jaundiced, imho.
@@starlinguk when Scott tested those saturated paint he was upset that they were too saturated, same issue here. They just look fake
yeah, it does look more realistic. the warm colors have more life in them, though.
i think thats because he had to mix in some warm colors, you'll noticed he used brown and yellow as well as blue and purple
the warm tones often look oversaturated which is an awesome effect for some pieces but the cool tones are much more pleasing to the eye for me and they look well ...cool!
I feel that the best quote about art I've heard is, "art is supposed to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable"
The finished result is amazing! In cinematography you’re supposed to light people with dark complexions with green and purple light so that you can capture all of their features, and I think that the shading in cool tones really captures darker skin in a beautiful way.
While green and purple light do add up to white (at least in the correct ratio), using them separately presumably gives you more control 😊
that is such a cool addition!
I think both could work depending on the person you're drawing. Since some people have a warmer skin tone warm colors are great for them but other people have cooler skin tones. Both is good, but art is art. It's whatever you like to do.
Ok warm but not RED
@@holdmacat9932 Why not red? It's a great color!
@@holdmacat9932 it still looks good
It massively depends on the reference photo
@@holdmacat9932 your face is literally red tho🧍
as a digital artist, i have *enormous* respect for artists that color this way
I actually color that way on a digital canvas as well because I want to learn and it's fun. Just out of curiosity - what is your main approach when coloring digital art? :)
respect to digital artists, I can't do any digital art
@@eeevie_tbh idk do what i want ig
You mean the normal way ??😭
@@tulipmars there's no normal way of art
Seems unintentional, but the unfinished picture right before “I’m bad” transitioned really well into the cool lighting in the clip
In my opinion, the cool colors looks so much better 😍 both amazing though!

I love it, i think it brings out unique characteristics in the picture that you dont see with the warm tones, honestly has like a realism touch almost
There’s something really refreshing about the dark skin in cooler colors…really leans into the depth of color ❤
Bro was entertaining and gave us a therapy session
No fr 😭😭 I just had a revelation of realization 😂
@@andystealersunshine lol😭
RUclipsr and professional Therapist. AND AN ARTIST how does he do all that in one video?!
I love your cool colors! Though your warm color art is far more vibrant, the cool colors feel more "real" in a way! It definitely feels like the page has more "human" in it!
I like the cool colors, they’re relaxing
Man I like the all cool colors better. Looks softer. Might have to try using more cool skin tones in my own art then!
Wow I really like this one with cool colors! I'd love to see you incorporate more cool colors as a challenge for your traditional art! I appreciate the introspective nature of your voice overs.
the cool tones seem so much more realistic but it lacks the flare that the warm colors provide. love your work!!
Yes!
I say play with a mixture of both and see what comes out. I'd be excited to see!

I think the cool colors looks more realistic, but the warm colors give it that *pop* of color that art should have. Keep up the good work !

The warmer colors have a fun pop art style to them, and the cool tones feel more realistic. Both look amazing, its all a matter of preference
The warm colors give your art a pop look and the cool gives it a surreal feel, which i prefer imo. Both look amazing tho.
You could try drawing someone using a combination of both, using the cooler colors for darker/occlusion shadows and the warmer ones for lighter shadows and blushy areas

The cool colours make it look more real, but warm colours make it look more unique. The warm colours really make it a Scott Christian Sava drawing!
He is not just an artist. He teach how live with art. Every phase is touching. I love your mood! ❤❤❤
Turned out amazing! Couldn't hurt to switch to cool colors every once in a while

I love how it turned out, thank you for stepping outside your boundaries and making something amazing
I love how you are able to come out of your comfort zone and be able to create such cool art like this
Whatever you create, even if it's outside your comfort zone, turns out to be beautiful

I absolutely love this guys channel. The content he makes is fun and calm. The comment section is always full of support. And the art is amazing!
So glad you picked LL Cool Jay - he’s so much more chill and smiley than other rappers. I think we need more men who smile.
It looks great!! Although for some reason it looks desaturated, but I think it looks awesome anyway
This is a really cool concept! Props to Scott for making it work
I love the cool colors! The eyes on this piece are especially striking.
Personally i think the cool colors look even better than the warm ones, which can look a bit oversaturated

“It’s only paper, this is not life or death” is what I would say to the try hard kid but in PE
You should be worried about the art snipers which are always watching
This is a joke
I like seeing the cool colors in skin tones-it seems like it brings an interesting dynamic to the colors.
The cool colours give it a more realistic vibe but the warm colours give it a bright pop of colour and it just comes up to what you prefer and/or what you're trying to achieve.

We not gonna talk about how smooth the end was
Actually I think the cool colors looked more realistic dependent on the actual skin tone.
Dude, this is absolutely stunning for being your first time trying these colours!
I honestly like the cool colors more than the warm colors when doing that! But it either way looks amazing
Lizzo aged well💀

This did not age well
my exact words 😭😭
It's a shame cause I like the drawing here :/
I love the colors from another artist to another you did amazing with the cool and warmish tones in LL Cool J's skin and the colors you chose. :)
I absolutely adore the idea of doing cool colors for skin tones
You did such a great job!!!!
I actually really like the lpmost surreal + inhuman feeling that the cool colors add to the depths of the color in the face
I love how you take the suggestions of your followers and actually experiment with stuff outside your comfort zone, it usually turns out amazing even if you say you'd never do it again lol
You're really funny and I love your art too
I feel like the cool tones make it more “realistic” since the colours dont pop as much but your warm art style is so fun and bright!!
