      For the record, she just couldn’t zoom in enough. You could still see the red around it and it looked blue by comparison. Find something blue and hold it up to your screen to compare.

      You need to understand the form you are drawing. When there is a change in planes the light changes too. I can recommend Drawing lessons by the great Masters by Robert Beverly Hale.

    Tips For Foreshortening:
    -The closer the object towards the viewer, the bigger it is
    -I reccomend using circles for the joints, like the first rule, the closest joint towards the viewer would be bigger than the joint behind it(I hope it makes sense, I can't explain things very well, Sorry)

    • @DarkTider
      @DarkTider 3 года назад +1

      Yeah, i met the same tip in another video, and it is really useful, but can get a bit wonky when the foreshortening also has to lead from a bigger object to a smaler one, such as an arm, with a risk of making the entire thing just look like an equally sized chunk :S

  • @samconcklin
    @samconcklin 6 лет назад +35

    Great tutorial and tips!
    I typically like to use warmer hues for highlights and cooler hues for shadows. It feels more natural to me, and I think that's because outside, the sun casts a warm light, but everything is lit a bit blue by the sky itself (even shadows). It's like everything has a slight blu-ish tone except for direct sunlight.
    Another tip for artists: study hard vs soft shadows (start by looking at photography). It's always fun to experiment, and you might stumble upon a new technique or approach that you really enjoy!

    • @JelArts
      @JelArts  7 лет назад +79

      It's all about careful planning and layering. Do multiple thumbnail sketches to figure out where you want your lighting to be, and then translate that onto the final piece. Watercolour, pencil crayon, markers, or pastels (and other things I'm probably forgetting) might work well for that, since the layers can be translucent.

      I'd say it's teal or turquoise, but not everyone describes or sees colors the same way, so it's not a mistake to call it either green or blue. In some cultures for example blue and green are considered the same and are not differentiated. Just how for a long time orange was considered a form of red (or yellow) and didn't became a separately named color until much later (thanks to orange fruits I guess)

    • @JelArts
      @JelArts  7 лет назад +35

      Asteria It kind of reminds me of that white and gold dress that was actually blue and black. I was one of the people who saw white and gold! I guess the colours around a specific colour affect how that colour is viewed, as well as each person's specific eyes. It's so fascinating!

    Makes me think that sometimes, at least when viewing a piece of art you’ve declared finished, you should get into the mind of a complete beginner so you can appreciate your own work more.

But when I'm actually doing digital drawing/painting It never occured to me to do the same thing. I just did the top apple approach. I have no idea why I never realized this before now. You just changed my life.

  • @ThePillent
    @ThePillent 7 лет назад +4

    So I get that you use darker and cooler colours when shading and when you highlight you use warmer, brighter colours. But is the cooler colours=left on the colour wheel and the warmer colour= right on the colour wheel OR is the cooler colours = down and the warmer colours=up? Example: let's say I have GREEN as my local colour, do I go toward yellow for the shadows and toward turquoise/lightblue for the highlights (left/right of the local colour) or do I go towards turquoise/lightblue for the shadows and yellow for the highlights (up/down on the colour wheel)?

      ThePillent it would be the other way so turquoise for shadow and yellow for the highlights since shadows usually have a cooler shade such as blue or purple depending on the local color.

    • @DoodlingHitman
      @DoodlingHitman 7 лет назад +1

      I use SAI too and it looks different for me as well. It's probably because you can move stuff around to your liking.

    • @mellowhamster
      @mellowhamster 7 лет назад +5

      It's because it is a different version. Its called Paint Tool Sai version 2 and it has a lot more features. For example, the layer mode at 6:06 you can see that she has a lot more options. ^^

    • @lilscenechick1995
      @lilscenechick1995 7 лет назад +15

      Faces can be tricky but if you can get the basics down, it's a lot easier. The best method is drawing a circle (for the skull shape) and two lines. One horizontal for the eye placement, and one down the center of the face (where the nose should be). Whether you're going for realism, semi-realism, or a cartoonish style, this will help you.

    I could not hear your fan. But when it is loud, it means the inside of your PC just needs to be cleaned. Get you some q-tips and a vacuum get rid of all the dust inside. Good luck.

    • @JelArts
      @JelArts  7 лет назад +22

      I use a cintiq companion 2 (a computer drawing tablet) and one of the biggest complaints/drawbacks is that it has a loud fan. It's been that way since I first bought it, haha. But I'll keep that in mind for future computers. I probably should give it a good dusting anyway. Luckily when I removed the background noise from the audio, most of the fan noise disappeared!

    • @asobeLive
      @asobeLive 7 лет назад +6

    My coloring style is not anywhere close to painting for the most part (I cell shade) but I've been following the tip of changing hues as you shade since forever and it looked good, but whenever I did the background I always noticed a disconnect from the character to the background and now I know why. I never thought of the bounce lighting from the environment. I'll try it out next drawing I do
