On my point about copying other artists' color palettes, I believe I didn't properly explain what I meant. I stand by my point. When I meant "don't copy other artists' color palettes", what I meant was color picking from their painting. The exact shades in the highlights, shadows, nuances in the skin, clothing, hair. On the point of "you can't own a color palette", yes you can. Companies can copyright colors or color palettes as they appear on their products. The UPS brown has a copyright against any other carrier company using the same color. McDonalds has its red. Milka's color scheme is copyrighted in Europe against competitors. If you take this concept from design and apply it to paintings, I could hypothetically take out a signed copyright for the palette of a painting I've created against any duplication in another painting. This doesn't apply to a simple color palette, for example-- a lime, pink, and blue. But if you color pick the exact shades from an artist's painting, the exact limes, pinks, and blues, and use those tones similarly in your own painting, you are in fact using THEIR palette. I also don't agree with this comment being elitist. In the same way that we have plagiarism laws against taking snippets of lyrics or songwriters' melodies, artists' work should be protected. Every original artwork an artist creates immediately has a copyright in their name-- you don't have to actually pay for or legally get paperwork for your copyright. Imagine how much harder it would be for you to be consistently color picking from other artists' works, investing time into your paintings and not actually making conscious choices about your color schemes, and then trying to get a freelance or contracting job with a larger company. My advice is based on my own experiences building up my style and skills. I have been completely self-taught, and the few paintings that I had directly color picked from when I was in my early teens, I haven't ever posted since they are not my original concept. If you color pick the same shadow tones and highlight tones from another painting in your own, you are ultimately not going to be making conscious choices with your color picking, ultimately stunting your growth. Whether you agree with this advice or not, I'm speaking as someone who has worked on multiple commercial commissions and knows what clients like and don't like. A high-paying client is ultimately going to want you to create as original of a piece as possible and will be very wary of stepping over any other creator's intellectual property. The reason I don't believe that my recommendation of taking colors from photographs or media stills is also "stealing" or copying is because any live-action camera work will have millions of different pixel colors on the canvas/screen based on lighting conditions and reflections. I'm also assuming that you liked a couple of colors in the still and would be utilizing them in an original way (not directly copying both the palette and imagery). For example, you could see a still of the movie The Grand Budapest Hotel, and love the combination of purple, red, and pink. This palette isn't copyrighted when it comes to a digital or traditional painting. The movie could take out a copyright infringement against another filmmaker replicating the shot, colors, and color correction. However, if you as an artist isolate those three colors and come up with a wholly original painting idea, introducing other tones and nuances into your piece, you are just taking inspiration rather than copying. It is much harder to directly copy from another creative medium than the one you are using. This was a concept talk to me in design school when it came to taking inspiration for my design projects. Every professor would ask for a mood board but would ask for a diversity of media in that mood board so that the inspiration could be more broad and vague rather than topical. I can make a full video with examples on this topic if you're interested! Thanks for reading x
Sorry, I still don't agree. Even if an artist colour picked your art and used the colours for their own art piece. There's nothing legally (edit to add: yes I know some companies own a single colour or two we here are talking about digital artists) or inherently wrong with that. Nor do you own it. What does it matter if they're making a whole new piece? It doesn't matter. And you telling others they can't colour pick your art (taking into account on a digital painting with 4000px there's thousands of colours they could land on) does sound elitest to me. So yeah, just gotta agree to disagree!
@@dibel3669 and how do you know they worked hard maybe they "stole" color pallete from another artist, think about that 😉 you cant copy a color lol they dont own it
Vamos tirar do cenário onde alguém copiou exatamente as mesmas cores nas mesmas partes do desenho. Pintar com as mesmas cores não é errado, estudando as teorias das cores sabemos quais funcionam juntas, quais representam algo na mídia. Por exemplos druidas são verdes e laranjas, como podemos ver no Ryan , trabalho da kog a 10 anos atrás, e na Skye, riot games. Concluíndo, vc deixaria de fazer uma boa composição de cores, tendo estudado toda uma teoria de cores e colorimetria, só pq alguém também as usou?
I think your beliefs about color palettes stem from a good place, but it just doesn’t make any sense in execution. How does a company copyrighting a color from their competitors prove that color palettes can also be copyrighted by artists? In terms of companies, logos tend to be very simplified and only use 1-2 colors at most, so it makes sense that certain companies would want to prevent other companies from using the same colors to avoid confusion. However, digital art can have hundreds of thousands of colors in a single work. It’s borderline elitist to claim that artists should have any kind of right to “claim” that many colors just because they put effort into it. I could easily see this logic being abused by artists who want to cause grief for other artists that may happen to have similar color palettes in their work. And speaking of respecting mediums… Why doesn’t this same logic apply to photographers, cinematographers, and old masters in your example? You’re essentially saying that it’s disrespectful to artists, but it’s completely ok to disrespect the hard work of photographers, cinematographers, and old masters because they’re too far removed from the field. This is where your argument merges legality and morality, and it doesn’t make any sense. In one argument, you claim there could be possible legal repercussions for using a color palette created by someone else, but also advocate for using color palettes created by someone else on the basis that they aren’t artists. So what is it? Do you believe people can/should sue people over color palette infringement or not? Why is it that artists could hypothetically claim damages but not “artists” in different fields who may have put in the same exact effort getting that image, if not more? Lastly, I’d like to hear about an actual legal case that ruled in claimant’s favor regarding color palette infringement. Your arguments seem to imply this is a possibility, you don’t actually show any sources for this. How can an artist successfully prove that someone intentionally copied their color palette as well as prove their actions resulted in any kind of damages? How does an artist using a color palette from a different artist inflict any kind of damages on them in the first place? Assuming the only elements the artist used was the color palette, and the rest of their art was purely original, it would be near impossible to prove that they caused any kind of damages with how far removed the work is from the original. Artistic plagiarism is already hard to prove in court, let alone color palette plagiarism. Again, I understand where you’re coming from. I agree that it’s better to train your eye to select colors rather than always using the color picker from different images. However, I believe color picking can help in the beginning stages, as it’s hard for some beginners to understand how far-off their colors are without directly comparing them first. I would definitely be interested in a more in-depth video where you explain your reasoning more thoroughly because a YT comment can only hold so much information. Maybe it could spark a wider debate on digital art copyright.
I was with you until the "don't copy color palletes" part. Colors can't be owned, and palettes can easily end up being similar just from following basic color theory. Your art is great, but maybe you should revisit what you consider art theft if you think artists in any way can "own" a palette.
@@imastupid5876 She pinned her comment long after I made my comment. Besides, while her clarification makes more sense, I still don't wholly agree with her.
I have to disagree on the color thing, it’s completely fine to take inspiration from other peoples art rather than just photos and the old masters. And it sure as hell isn’t cheating. Work smarter, not harder.
That's true! However, for a beginner artist, I'd recommend first taking inspiration to REALITY, because all works come from real-life one way or the other. Later on, one could try to take inspiration from other's fictional works as much as they please. This is just ADVICE, of course, nothing rule-like.
@@VizzyInks I think it heavily depends on what you want to draw. If you're drawing lots of portraits or landscapes then sure, but for most other things inspiration can be found anywhere
I agree with you. However, if you're a beginner artist, I would advise you to study the old masters, well accomplished modern day artists and renowned photographers more. This is because the more you develop in art the more you learn how to cherry pick what you want, and begin to understand what makes a reference good or not, whereas beginner artists generally don't grasp those notions so well. I guess inspiration itself can be taken from anywhere, but when you're learning I'd advise the references themselves to be from better acclaimed sources rather than a random person, just so that you know you're using something that is generally deemed as well made. sorry if this makes no sense, english is not my first language and I just woke up lol
I think it's perfectly fine and it's personally helped me figure out how to change my palettes around for certain moods. Nobody *owns* a color palette.
If you're an artist and you get upset about someone using something as silly as your color palette, you get triggered way to easily. It's just a color palette. Me personally if someone is using my color palette I'll take it as a compliment.
do you think you can show us how to edit our images after we finish illustrating, i feel that’d help me a lot. sometimes my images look at bit dull after post because I don’t edit them at all
I think the color palette thing is a bit extreme. It can be problematic when someone copies the color palette along side another aspect of a certain work making both pieces way too similar, but colors aren't owned by anyone. If anything, I think the reason NOT to copy a color palette is for the artists own benefit in improving their skill when picking out cohesive colors. Using colors from a photo/painting or generated online isn't bad though. That within itself can also teach the artist when studying. Just my opinion~
Been doing digital art for 13 years, freelance artist as a job for 8. I've never felt compelled to copy a colour palette from someone's art myself, nor have I done it. However, also wanted to say no one owns a colour palette. That bit sounded a bit weirdly elitist to me. If someone is creating an entirely new piece of art, who is it hurting to use colours that you don't own? Awesome video otherwise!
I felt the same thing. Sometimes a color pallet in one painting will be the springboard in a new painting. Not the same subject and in the end not the same colors but a leaping off point. Saying you can't use a color pallet is like saying "I draw birds, so anyone else who draws birds is copying and stealing my ideas." We all see differently and even if a color pallet is "copied" in the end the result will be different because people are different.
Sorry if this comes across too aggressive but I’ve actually seen people start fights about how this or that artist “stole” their color palette and it’s really annoying when people act like that’s a real thing People don’t own colors, if someone limits themselves to a certain palette and makes it part of their “style” to be “recognizable by the palette” that’s sorta on them, if a color palette is the only defining thing about someones art and the only thing that makes it good then Theyre not a good artist, and they still don’t own colors or palettes Again not tryna fight but I’ve seen people get extremely pressed about others color picking from their art as if their colors are the secret Krusty krabs recipe……
If the concept of an artist is in the palette that's not nice of you to say something like that... To each their own. No need to put down someone's art to explain your point...
I have to say i disagree when it comes to not using another artists colour pallet. You're maybe the first person i've heard actually saying this? like my professors who work in the industry never advised this and if anything have told us to seek pallets we like in order to learn. Of course learning isn't just using the eye drop tool, but like tracing and heavily referencing art, it can help develop your skills (though with these i'd never advise to post online/claim as your own works) Colour is just.. colour? Nobody owns colours or colour pallets even if some artists are known specifically for them. Because those artists are not the only artists who developed their pallets on their own. I see no difference with using a pallet already created, to learning about colour theory in order to get to that point where you'd have a colour pallet that's the same as some other art work. The only thing here is that one, one person has learned and two, the other hasn't gone through that process. The end result is still the same, because it's just colour. I'm not denying that going the eye dropped route will maybe take you longer to learn, but to put some type of.. ethics to it? as if you don't respect an artist by using their pallet? It just seems like a very strange stance for someone to take (and as someone else has said.. pretty elitist) simply because the artwork you're using the pallet from, 100% has another piece somewhere else on the internet with the same pallet.
1. Begin with a sketch that you love. → Use flowy lines rather than hard lines. 2. Use as many layers as you want. 3. Use a colour pallete from a photo that inspires you. 4. Stop when you're feeling frustrated or have been focusing on one detail/area. → If you've been overworking an area, erase that area or make a new layer on top and colour block then add details. → Take a look at your sketch to see if your proportions are correct. → Step back and analyze what's going wrong. 5. Don't be afraid to blur out/cover out details that you've worked hard on.
Was enjoying the video until you mentioned ''copying'' a color palette. I'm sorry, but nobody owns color palettes: the fact that some colors go better together than others is universal color theory and nobody should claim ownership over that lol.
I disagree about the color palette. There are plenty of art challenges out there, like "Draw this in your style," which encourage palette copying. We all copy each other subconsciously, and all art is derivative... so.. eh? Copying a palette from a movie is the same thing as copying a palette from someone else's art. It doesn't matter tbh.
I think you made a good point originally then in your comment. It makes sense. I wouldn’t call it copying but more so, not receiving a relationship with color nor learning how to create values with said color palette. I don’t think it’s inherently bad for artists to do that because in a traditional setting, most artists do masters studies and copy the heck out of particular artists at the beginning of their career yet halfway through, they start really developing their studies and aesthetics to really learn how to do their own art. I think what you’re talking about is no different. As well, a piece of work is not the same as a company like McDonald’s or Amazon. Restricting historically known palettes like Zorn palette or the primary palette would be completely useless and actual hinder a lot of artist’s art because those palettes help students of art develop their own ideas of color mixing and color choice and seeing what works. It’s inherently problematic. Again, I can understand not wanting people to copy you or other artists but in mean time they won’t.
Hi! I love your video so much! As a beginner digital artist, I was looking for a helpful tutorial on how to fix my work and improve my artistic skills. After watching your video and hearing your opinions, I found it very helpful and it gave me a clear idea of what I should do. I really appreciate your help and the knowledge you shared with me.
i dont think Sara's talking about only copying the color pallette generally speaking, with choosing colors like blue, orange, red and green, etc), but when for example someone copies literally every shade of colors of your artwork, the same atmosphere, even maybe using the color picker, after you spent hours of studying and practicing to fully understand how colors work and over time achieving the skill of picking colors that go well together, it could be frustrating i think you can get inspiration from an artwork, that's really different from copying or stealing
It’s not though. You’re learning and they’re learning. 100% that artwork probably doesn’t even look the same or could be recognized. There’s about 5 artists I can look up right now (and you can too) on Pinterest with the same color palette and atmosphere as Sara Tepes and it still looks completely different. I’m not someone that likes doing crap like that because I like my own color palette but I know that it won’t be the same.
I disagree with the color palette thing, is not like humans created colors or anything, it is just silly... It feels like people who complain about getting their poses 'stolen' despite the fact that the human body can only move in a limited amount of ways.... The same applies with colors tbh. Nothing's original, not even the most tryhard professionals 'created' a color palette from scratch, they copied and got inspired, learned from different sources and combined all of that to make something different, for that reason I disagree in that aspect of the video, other than that, good video!
Sorry, but I don't get what you said about color palettes belonging to a certain artist... For me, it's just a color association and nothing more... Maybe I just don't get what you understand by "color palettes"
Same I was kinda confused by what she said. no artist can own a color palette. There are art styles that are specific to artists that you obviously can’t trace and steal however you can’t own a palette for yourself. Some people just like the way the colors look and run with it and that’s okay, they don’t need to know the inner workings of anything. Was really confused when she started talking about it but maybe we interpreted it wrong?? Hope she explains
Super solid advice and beautiful painting as well! I love the way you contrast the warm and cool tones and how the saturation of the warm tones draws you to the face right away
Sweet video and wonderful tips! I started to chuckle at your layers tip! I remember my computer freezing after adding to many layers in Photoshop! I believe my limit was just 6 with my first Mac it only had 16 MB of Ram and I had to save constantly but even then if it detected to many layers it just froze. I was so excited to purchase an 8600 tower and I was a bit of a braggart to my computer club as I had dug down and got 448MB of Ram to allow me to go crazy and used over 15 layers in Photoshop 4.0.1! You are truly inspirational and such a delightful young lady. Thank you for sharing your art journey with us.
I'm sure no one owns a color palette. Colors are natural and for sure no one owns any color. I hate it when people think someone else is "stealing colors" just because that person's palette is similar to another palette. You could've known that many people make their own color palette and others suddenly take inspiration to that palette. Hence, maybe some people can search it up and use that instead. Now, that's not stealing.
It’s cool that you want artists who worked hard to have their own palette be respected, but i think anyone is allowed to use whatever color palette they want to as long as it suits their tastes. There isn’t really a law about copyrights on color palettes unless it’s on big companies with very specific products that might get copied by other companies. So to anyone who’s reading this, GO HAM! If you like one artist’s specific color palette then use it! Whatever’s the result of your work is *your* own and not whoever’s palette whom inspired you :)) Side note: no one can ever really copy and paste someone’s work just through their color palette, there’s always gonna be some kind of variations that makes your art YOURS, unless you copy and paste the entire art itself and call it yours which you can be sued for.
if you have time (and if you feel like it, of course), could you please make a video talking about photoshop and digital art in general? like tips on how to use it to your favor, tools that can help you, how to use them to blend colors, and etc... that would be really helpful for us that are just beggining! 😊
This is one of my favorite paintings of yours 🥰 thanks for the tips! I also like to use multiple layers for my sketch/line art phase so I can easily edit different areas without affecting the others!
As an artist who has been doing art for quite some time, I’ve seen a lot of discourse on the copying palettes. While I will say that the whole “copying is a form of flattery” is extremely stupid to say the least when it comes to art. However I don’t believe that beginner artists studying the composition of other artist’s works and learning color theory should be considered plagiarism. Not to mention the fact that a-lot of artists I know share extremely similar palettes. However this is just because they have learned what works well for their own art and what colors go well together. It’s like using a pose reference, it’s hard to do a complicated pose with no image to reference it from. I do think that beginner artists should eventually grow and be able to develop their own palette and what works best for them but in order to do that they need experience. I saw someone else mention that they should try to use color palettes from real life, however there are so many things wrong with this statement. Not all artists use realistic color palettes or do realistic art. It’s wrong to assume that every artist does extreme realism. Another thing is that a person’s environment and experience could be very limited compared to the diversity of references to use online. Ik this was kind of long but oh well
Beautiful artwork! However, I hear someone for the first time speaking about owning a color palette. But then again, I never go into things so deep, so I won't jump in conclusions I have no knowledge about. Wish ya all happy upcoming holidays!
I know it's been said already, but the tip about "copying" color palettes is incredibly misleading. I'm concerned that newbie artists will hear that, become misinformed, and feel limited in what they can create in fear that they've "copied" another artist. Obviously if you have the exact same composition and color pick the exact colors of an artwork and pass that off as your own work, it's not going to go well for you. However, artists cannot own colors or color palettes, and different people can come to the same conclusion that the same colors can look good together. It's literally color theory, of course many people are going to use the same groups of colors in their artworks. Same thing goes for poses, we can only bend our bodies in so many ways, and there are a handful of poses that are really popular to draw. If I draw a person's face in 3/4 view, am I going to accuse *every other artist* who drew someone in 3/4 of copying me?
and not only that but using EXISTING color schemes that have worked in the past to experiment teaches you a lot about the relationships of color and light when you begin making your own art. This answer is spot on and appreciated *chef's kiss*
Thank you for this!! Very helpful & good advice I haven’t heard before - I’ll definitely be implementing some of these into my digital work! Thank you, thank you!!
Então tu nem ta vendo a guerra nos comentários do pessoal discordando de um assunto que ela disse no video sobre pegar cores ou paletas de uma imagem especificamente 😬 depois dê uma traduzida pelo google aí no chat... vale a pena ver sobre esse assunto!
Thank you for the video!! notes on the video(the 5 tips): 1. Use the brush you want during the sketch layer. Using a softer/defused will help you blend the sketch into the final piece. Use loose flowy lines, use your entire arm pivoted from the elbow and not the wrist. 2. Use as many layers as you want for your sketch. You can use a smaller brush size on another layer with the lower layer's opacity turned down to refine your sketch to your liking. 3. Use a colour pallet from a photo that inspires you. Pinterest, Unsplash, movies. You shouldn't use the colour palette from another artist because it is more like copying. (As in colour picking specific shades from another artist work, not general clours.) Unless it is from the old masters or if you got permission. 4. Stop if you aren't satisfied with your render (if you are overworking one area). Why it's not working: You are hyper-focusing on the details of one area and not colour blocking anymore. Option 1: If you just can't draw this area you can erase that area and restart. Start by colour blocking shapes then add details. Option 2: Take a look at your sketch and see if the proportions are wrong to begin with. Use a reference! Doesn't have to be pretty pictures, it can be pictures of yourself. 5. Don't be afraid to blur out or cover details. If they don't tell the story or take the attention away from the focal point blur them. Add motion blurs, gaussian blurs, prism blurs. Even with the blurs in, you can still kind of tell there was a lot of details there.
I am now perplexed due to the color palette tips, I love to paint my digital painting where the palette are arranged and neat. What happened if I use several color palettes that are downloadable from Clip Studio Paint Assets & Lospec? Does it count as "copying" other artist's (the creator) palette? It is rather silly if in further events those color palettes have copyright as a signature piece for each artists...
gah this is such a good video!! i had been struggling on all of my pieces lately and your tips gave me exactly what i needed to know how to improve them!! thank u so muchh 🙏💞💞
Really gonna have to try blocking with an airbrush. I struggle so much with blending colours especially with skin, but have been avoiding any blurry brushes.
On your color palette point: Some people do put a lot of time into their color palettes, but others don't. It really depends on who made the art. Some people put a lot of work into their sketches while others don't. Some people put more time into the sketch and colorpick colors- whether from other art or from various photos- so they don't spend even more time on one piece. No one owns a color palette, you can't steal a color palette. If that were the case, then there would be a lot of legal cases on color palettes, even if it was on accident that someone has an incredibly similar color palette. That's ridiculous. I would understand if we were talking about characters, but even things like that in legal terms can be difficult to distinguish.
Dear Sarah, I absolutely adore your work, but as a photographer, I would love to comment on using a colour palette from an inspiring photo. Personally, I edit images so much that I am setting a completely different mood than in the original and the colours I normally pick have a lot of thought behind them. Often I re-colour a photo completely, and there is a lot of work behind every photoshoot as well. When I don't, I spend a lot of time choosing the right accessoires so they would colour match. I'm very happy when people use my stuff as inspiration, but it would sort of hurt if someone would just copy my colour palette for their art. Sure, there are photos on Unsplash that can be used in that way, as you mention, that's totally fair! But I see myself and my fellow photographers as artists as well and even though our creative process might be different from drawing, we also invest a lot of time thinking about our choices and editing. So, in my eyes - taking inspiration, yes, absolutely! But copying a palette when it's not from a source like Unsplash, please don't! I'm not saying that everyone should agree with me, but I hope I can get my point across as a food for thought
wish i watched that video when the dislike button was still a thing, im a new artist, im still learning, if i wanna copy someone's colours to help me learn and understand how colours work together i will, what am i gonna do with it? sell it to one of my 70 followers??? it shitty art thats going nowhere because I only draw for fun, why assume everyone getting into art wants to make a living out of it
oh and the whole 'brands can copyright colours' but they're BRANDS not some small time fan artist on twitter who doesnt have the millions required to copyright said colours. and those copyrighted colours only stop other brands or people trying to make a living out of it not regulr people trying to enjoy art without having elitist artists tell them they cant use this shade because its 'copied'
How do you do portraits without color picking from the reference? I need to do color picking to get a more accurate representation of the person I'm drawing. Or what about the "draw this in your style" challenges that encourage you to use colors matching the original work?
I'm sorry, but the idea of "owning" a color palette is absolutely ridiculous. No one has a claim to color. If that was the case, everyone who ever did art is a thief. Here's a secret: there is nothing new that you could possibly do with color combinations. It has all been done. You're not stealing anything. If an artist you like uses rust reds, navy blues, and teals; I -PROMISE- a countless number of artists/photographers/designers/f***ing DOLPHINS, have used it before. Don't let someone else insinuate that they own color combinations, or shame you for using a color palette you saw somewhere else. That's some art elitism at its finest. As long as you're not re-doing an artist's work and calling it your own, you're fine.
Hi! Maybe this sounds silly, but I'd love to see a tutorial on how you get that light blue/orange prismatic glow effect! I could only ever find Clip Studio Paint autoactions for a red/blue but have no idea how to get the one you apply in this program OTL
saying u can steal someoen else’s color pallets is like when you’re at the playground and you “claim” one of the fun things there like the slide or the monkey bars bsffr 💀💀💀💀
I can't get my workflow going... I always sketch and sketch but I never start coloring/painting and it's really killing my flow :( I get stuck in tutorials because I want to get better at drawing dynamic photos...

No one holds any copyright on color pallets, you don't need anyone permission to use it
as someone that pays a lot of attention to color right now and did purposefully take one illustration to imitate the pallete as an exercise, i 100% agree that it counts as copying, it's the very essence lol the reason it would feel kinda off to make characters a different color if it's like the twin stars or something emblematic like that. not many people have studied graphic design yet as teenagers watching this, i didn't' study it either but i understand this point that comes from that industry
thats pretty arrogant to suggest that you never copied anyone´s art. yet your work is the same cookie cut instracam art we see everyone make. get over your self. we all copy thats how we improve.
yeah, no, fam, the color palette tip was bad. say you drew something and there is a specific way you want the coloring to be, but you are bad in color theory and cant get the art to be what you want. if you find an art that has the colors that feel what you wanted to have on your art i think colorpicking is fine. besides, not everything will be a copy, because in the end, youll have to look for the colors that you need, but are not present on the image you are colorpicking from and see how they match with what you already have. id say colorpicking and trying to match stuff to that on its own is some sort of learning.
I strongly disagree with the color part, sorry no. No one owns a color *legally* and from my experience my art improved with color picking until I learned how to pick colors myself, this ain't twitter this is RUclips the rest of the tips are cool but the color part is bs
I think that in the end any artist never copy all the color palette of someone else but even if, It Is too extreme and I dont think professionals working for big clients bother about that.. Makes me think a lot of Wlop because you can see the artist Nixeu that has clearly "taken" a lot from Wlop, or all people clearly taking from Sakimi Chan. Tho i never heard of lawsuit against those people because in the end i dont think pro care.
I can kinda see where you’re coming from. Personally, I think if you’re going to draw inspiration from a color palette, the best thing to do is just try to replicate the color palette by eye if anything. Using the eye dropper may be a bit too much in my opinion. On the other hand, it’s kind of silly to get upset at someone copying your palette. From a purely graphic design perspective, like say you are working for a new fast food company and you pick yellow and red as your two base colors for advertising- THAT is when you get yourself into a pickle. Now if I were to create a painting with a pink, blue, and orange color palette and I by an off chance find out someone color picked it without stealing the composition of my piece, I simply would not care. Now if I KNOW and can prove that they’ve been doing that with multiple pieces- that’s when we are running into a problem. All in all, it’s really not that big of a deal. I think the real reason people are so pressed about this is the context of it all. I think it would’ve been best brought up on a different video where you could have further explained it. I know the amount of comments over this is probably overwhelming, but just itch past it. If you want, just go further in depth on an Instagram reel or something. Just don’t stress that’s all lol because if I were you I just KNOW my anxiety would be through the roof and so I feel bad.
Imagine being this far up your own to claim people can't copy yours or anyone else's colors. but if you copy it from movies or photos it's fine... no work went into creating those and those people deserve no respect :D also your pinned explanation sounds super entitled and keeps the exact same issues, I doubt most artists are going to color pick a milka chocolate bar wrapper and try to sell it to it's competitors
You’re such an amazing artist. Sawing you speed painting like that please my eyes so much. You are so good L love your shading method...This is so gorgeous... You’re one of my main inspiration. Thank you for your advices and for your yt chanel...thank you !
I do agree with not copying artist, but don’t forget a lot of people just getting into art do art studies of other artist to try to study their techniques and so forth to aid them in their art journey. Of course if said artist doesn’t mention it’s a study then it’s an issue.
While taking other's colors isn't morally wrong, you should still avoid it because youre becoming dependent and your understanding of color isn't improving. Idk why this is such an issue

On my point about copying other artists' color palettes, I believe I didn't properly explain what I meant. I stand by my point. When I meant "don't copy other artists' color palettes", what I meant was color picking from their painting. The exact shades in the highlights, shadows, nuances in the skin, clothing, hair. On the point of "you can't own a color palette", yes you can. Companies can copyright colors or color palettes as they appear on their products. The UPS brown has a copyright against any other carrier company using the same color. McDonalds has its red. Milka's color scheme is copyrighted in Europe against competitors. If you take this concept from design and apply it to paintings, I could hypothetically take out a signed copyright for the palette of a painting I've created against any duplication in another painting. This doesn't apply to a simple color palette, for example-- a lime, pink, and blue. But if you color pick the exact shades from an artist's painting, the exact limes, pinks, and blues, and use those tones similarly in your own painting, you are in fact using THEIR palette.
I also don't agree with this comment being elitist. In the same way that we have plagiarism laws against taking snippets of lyrics or songwriters' melodies, artists' work should be protected. Every original artwork an artist creates immediately has a copyright in their name-- you don't have to actually pay for or legally get paperwork for your copyright. Imagine how much harder it would be for you to be consistently color picking from other artists' works, investing time into your paintings and not actually making conscious choices about your color schemes, and then trying to get a freelance or contracting job with a larger company. My advice is based on my own experiences building up my style and skills. I have been completely self-taught, and the few paintings that I had directly color picked from when I was in my early teens, I haven't ever posted since they are not my original concept. If you color pick the same shadow tones and highlight tones from another painting in your own, you are ultimately not going to be making conscious choices with your color picking, ultimately stunting your growth. Whether you agree with this advice or not, I'm speaking as someone who has worked on multiple commercial commissions and knows what clients like and don't like. A high-paying client is ultimately going to want you to create as original of a piece as possible and will be very wary of stepping over any other creator's intellectual property.
The reason I don't believe that my recommendation of taking colors from photographs or media stills is also "stealing" or copying is because any live-action camera work will have millions of different pixel colors on the canvas/screen based on lighting conditions and reflections. I'm also assuming that you liked a couple of colors in the still and would be utilizing them in an original way (not directly copying both the palette and imagery). For example, you could see a still of the movie The Grand Budapest Hotel, and love the combination of purple, red, and pink. This palette isn't copyrighted when it comes to a digital or traditional painting. The movie could take out a copyright infringement against another filmmaker replicating the shot, colors, and color correction. However, if you as an artist isolate those three colors and come up with a wholly original painting idea, introducing other tones and nuances into your piece, you are just taking inspiration rather than copying. It is much harder to directly copy from another creative medium than the one you are using. This was a concept talk to me in design school when it came to taking inspiration for my design projects. Every professor would ask for a mood board but would ask for a diversity of media in that mood board so that the inspiration could be more broad and vague rather than topical.
I can make a full video with examples on this topic if you're interested! Thanks for reading x
Sorry, I still don't agree. Even if an artist colour picked your art and used the colours for their own art piece. There's nothing legally (edit to add: yes I know some companies own a single colour or two we here are talking about digital artists) or inherently wrong with that. Nor do you own it. What does it matter if they're making a whole new piece? It doesn't matter.
And you telling others they can't colour pick your art (taking into account on a digital painting with 4000px there's thousands of colours they could land on) does sound elitest to me.
So yeah, just gotta agree to disagree!
@@TheEpicMeli but why color pick their art, you got a wholeass color wheel so there's no need to overly depend on someone else's hard work.
@@dibel3669 and how do you know they worked hard maybe they "stole" color pallete from another artist, think about that 😉 you cant copy a color lol they dont own it
Vamos tirar do cenário onde alguém copiou exatamente as mesmas cores nas mesmas partes do desenho. Pintar com as mesmas cores não é errado, estudando as teorias das cores sabemos quais funcionam juntas, quais representam algo na mídia. Por exemplos druidas são verdes e laranjas, como podemos ver no Ryan , trabalho da kog a 10 anos atrás, e na Skye, riot games.
Concluíndo, vc deixaria de fazer uma boa composição de cores, tendo estudado toda uma teoria de cores e colorimetria, só pq alguém também as usou?
I think your beliefs about color palettes stem from a good place, but it just doesn’t make any sense in execution. How does a company copyrighting a color from their competitors prove that color palettes can also be copyrighted by artists? In terms of companies, logos tend to be very simplified and only use 1-2 colors at most, so it makes sense that certain companies would want to prevent other companies from using the same colors to avoid confusion. However, digital art can have hundreds of thousands of colors in a single work. It’s borderline elitist to claim that artists should have any kind of right to “claim” that many colors just because they put effort into it. I could easily see this logic being abused by artists who want to cause grief for other artists that may happen to have similar color palettes in their work.
And speaking of respecting mediums… Why doesn’t this same logic apply to photographers, cinematographers, and old masters in your example? You’re essentially saying that it’s disrespectful to artists, but it’s completely ok to disrespect the hard work of photographers, cinematographers, and old masters because they’re too far removed from the field. This is where your argument merges legality and morality, and it doesn’t make any sense. In one argument, you claim there could be possible legal repercussions for using a color palette created by someone else, but also advocate for using color palettes created by someone else on the basis that they aren’t artists. So what is it? Do you believe people can/should sue people over color palette infringement or not? Why is it that artists could hypothetically claim damages but not “artists” in different fields who may have put in the same exact effort getting that image, if not more?
Lastly, I’d like to hear about an actual legal case that ruled in claimant’s favor regarding color palette infringement. Your arguments seem to imply this is a possibility, you don’t actually show any sources for this. How can an artist successfully prove that someone intentionally copied their color palette as well as prove their actions resulted in any kind of damages? How does an artist using a color palette from a different artist inflict any kind of damages on them in the first place? Assuming the only elements the artist used was the color palette, and the rest of their art was purely original, it would be near impossible to prove that they caused any kind of damages with how far removed the work is from the original. Artistic plagiarism is already hard to prove in court, let alone color palette plagiarism.
Again, I understand where you’re coming from. I agree that it’s better to train your eye to select colors rather than always using the color picker from different images. However, I believe color picking can help in the beginning stages, as it’s hard for some beginners to understand how far-off their colors are without directly comparing them first. I would definitely be interested in a more in-depth video where you explain your reasoning more thoroughly because a YT comment can only hold so much information. Maybe it could spark a wider debate on digital art copyright.
I was with you until the "don't copy color palletes" part. Colors can't be owned, and palettes can easily end up being similar just from following basic color theory. Your art is great, but maybe you should revisit what you consider art theft if you think artists in any way can "own" a palette.
I don't think you understood her point.
@@stephanie._.cepeda Then she must not have explained it well, because a lot of people agreed with me. If you can explain it better, please do.
@Maria S. Cepeda She explained her point in her pinned comment, but it's basically what this commenter explained against.
@@imastupid5876 She pinned her comment long after I made my comment. Besides, while her clarification makes more sense, I still don't wholly agree with her.
Colors apparently can be owned but that doesn’t mean it’s not stupid
I have to disagree on the color thing, it’s completely fine to take inspiration from other peoples art rather than just photos and the old masters. And it sure as hell isn’t cheating. Work smarter, not harder.
That's true! However, for a beginner artist, I'd recommend first taking inspiration to REALITY, because all works come from real-life one way or the other. Later on, one could try to take inspiration from other's fictional works as much as they please. This is just ADVICE, of course, nothing rule-like.
@@VizzyInks I think it heavily depends on what you want to draw. If you're drawing lots of portraits or landscapes then sure, but for most other things inspiration can be found anywhere
I agree with you. However, if you're a beginner artist, I would advise you to study the old masters, well accomplished modern day artists and renowned photographers more. This is because the more you develop in art the more you learn how to cherry pick what you want, and begin to understand what makes a reference good or not, whereas beginner artists generally don't grasp those notions so well. I guess inspiration itself can be taken from anywhere, but when you're learning I'd advise the references themselves to be from better acclaimed sources rather than a random person, just so that you know you're using something that is generally deemed as well made.
sorry if this makes no sense, english is not my first language and I just woke up lol
agreed, you should learn from people who inspire you and who you love inspiration and copying is different
I think it's perfectly fine and it's personally helped me figure out how to change my palettes around for certain moods. Nobody *owns* a color palette.
If you're an artist and you get upset about someone using something as silly as your color palette, you get triggered way to easily. It's just a color palette. Me personally if someone is using my color palette I'll take it as a compliment.
Yes! And there's only so many color combinations in the world. It's kind of like accusing someone of stealing your pose lol
do you think you can show us how to edit our images after we finish illustrating, i feel that’d help me a lot. sometimes my images look at bit dull after post because I don’t edit them at all
Yes! I definitely need to do it- I just have to collect all my resources and info because I jump all over the place for like 20 minutes
@@SaraTepes ive very excited for this ahh ;;__;; thank you rasp for asking bc i struggle with this too
I think the color palette thing is a bit extreme. It can be problematic when someone copies the color palette along side another aspect of a certain work making both pieces way too similar, but colors aren't owned by anyone. If anything, I think the reason NOT to copy a color palette is for the artists own benefit in improving their skill when picking out cohesive colors. Using colors from a photo/painting or generated online isn't bad though. That within itself can also teach the artist when studying. Just my opinion~
I will say the rest of the tips are very helpful
if you tink about it tho the colors are a signature too, if youre only using the colors from a specific drawing youre just remixing that drawing
Been doing digital art for 13 years, freelance artist as a job for 8.
I've never felt compelled to copy a colour palette from someone's art myself, nor have I done it.
However, also wanted to say no one owns a colour palette. That bit sounded a bit weirdly elitist to me. If someone is creating an entirely new piece of art, who is it hurting to use colours that you don't own?
Awesome video otherwise!
I felt the same thing. Sometimes a color pallet in one painting will be the springboard in a new painting. Not the same subject and in the end not the same colors but a leaping off point. Saying you can't use a color pallet is like saying "I draw birds, so anyone else who draws birds is copying and stealing my ideas." We all see differently and even if a color pallet is "copied" in the end the result will be different because people are different.
Nobody has a trademark for a color, it would be like having the Sound of guitar copyrighted
@@evansecencefan1435 except kippor >_
i just added a pinned comment expounding on my point, I believe I didn't explain myself very well in the video.
@@SaraTepes i dont see the comment pinned? ; o ;
Sorry if this comes across too aggressive but I’ve actually seen people start fights about how this or that artist “stole” their color palette and it’s really annoying when people act like that’s a real thing
People don’t own colors, if someone limits themselves to a certain palette and makes it part of their “style” to be “recognizable by the palette” that’s sorta on them, if a color palette is the only defining thing about someones art and the only thing that makes it good then Theyre not a good artist, and they still don’t own colors or palettes
Again not tryna fight but I’ve seen people get extremely pressed about others color picking from their art as if their colors are the secret Krusty krabs recipe……
If the concept of an artist is in the palette that's not nice of you to say something like that... To each their own. No need to put down someone's art to explain your point...
I really love that people like you give their tips for their drawings, it helps us improve, thank you☺️🥞
(seeing the effects) what scratches I put :/
I have to say i disagree when it comes to not using another artists colour pallet. You're maybe the first person i've heard actually saying this? like my professors who work in the industry never advised this and if anything have told us to seek pallets we like in order to learn. Of course learning isn't just using the eye drop tool, but like tracing and heavily referencing art, it can help develop your skills (though with these i'd never advise to post online/claim as your own works) Colour is just.. colour? Nobody owns colours or colour pallets even if some artists are known specifically for them. Because those artists are not the only artists who developed their pallets on their own.
I see no difference with using a pallet already created, to learning about colour theory in order to get to that point where you'd have a colour pallet that's the same as some other art work. The only thing here is that one, one person has learned and two, the other hasn't gone through that process. The end result is still the same, because it's just colour.
I'm not denying that going the eye dropped route will maybe take you longer to learn, but to put some type of.. ethics to it? as if you don't respect an artist by using their pallet? It just seems like a very strange stance for someone to take (and as someone else has said.. pretty elitist) simply because the artwork you're using the pallet from, 100% has another piece somewhere else on the internet with the same pallet.
1. Begin with a sketch that you love.
→ Use flowy lines rather than hard lines.
2. Use as many layers as you want.
3. Use a colour pallete from a photo that inspires you.
4. Stop when you're feeling frustrated or have been focusing on one detail/area.
→ If you've been overworking an area, erase that area or make a new layer on top and colour block then add details.
→ Take a look at your sketch to see if your proportions are correct.
→ Step back and analyze what's going wrong.
5. Don't be afraid to blur out/cover out details that you've worked hard on.
thank youuu
Was enjoying the video until you mentioned ''copying'' a color palette. I'm sorry, but nobody owns color palettes: the fact that some colors go better together than others is universal color theory and nobody should claim ownership over that lol.
this is so helpful as i'm starting to seriously take up digital arts as a hobby
I disagree about the color palette. There are plenty of art challenges out there, like "Draw this in your style," which encourage palette copying. We all copy each other subconsciously, and all art is derivative... so.. eh? Copying a palette from a movie is the same thing as copying a palette from someone else's art. It doesn't matter tbh.
Love ur art! But as the others talking about the color pallets, I have to agree… no one really owns a color..
I think you made a good point originally then in your comment. It makes sense. I wouldn’t call it copying but more so, not receiving a relationship with color nor learning how to create values with said color palette.
I don’t think it’s inherently bad for artists to do that because in a traditional setting, most artists do masters studies and copy the heck out of particular artists at the beginning of their career yet halfway through, they start really developing their studies and aesthetics to really learn how to do their own art. I think what you’re talking about is no different.
As well, a piece of work is not the same as a company like McDonald’s or Amazon. Restricting historically known palettes like Zorn palette or the primary palette would be completely useless and actual hinder a lot of artist’s art because those palettes help students of art develop their own ideas of color mixing and color choice and seeing what works. It’s inherently problematic.
Again, I can understand not wanting people to copy you or other artists but in mean time they won’t.
Hi! I love your video so much! As a beginner digital artist, I was looking for a helpful tutorial on how to fix my work and improve my artistic skills. After watching your video and hearing your opinions, I found it very helpful and it gave me a clear idea of what I should do. I really appreciate your help and the knowledge you shared with me.
This is one of my favourite pieces you've done.
i dont think Sara's talking about only copying the color pallette generally speaking, with choosing colors like blue, orange, red and green, etc), but when for example someone copies literally every shade of colors of your artwork, the same atmosphere, even maybe using the color picker, after you spent hours of studying and practicing to fully understand how colors work and over time achieving the skill of picking colors that go well together, it could be frustrating
i think you can get inspiration from an artwork, that's really different from copying or stealing
It’s not though. You’re learning and they’re learning. 100% that artwork probably doesn’t even look the same or could be recognized. There’s about 5 artists I can look up right now (and you can too) on Pinterest with the same color palette and atmosphere as Sara Tepes and it still looks completely different.
I’m not someone that likes doing crap like that because I like my own color palette but I know that it won’t be the same.
I disagree with the color palette thing, is not like humans created colors or anything, it is just silly... It feels like people who complain about getting their poses 'stolen' despite the fact that the human body can only move in a limited amount of ways.... The same applies with colors tbh. Nothing's original, not even the most tryhard professionals 'created' a color palette from scratch, they copied and got inspired, learned from different sources and combined all of that to make something different, for that reason I disagree in that aspect of the video, other than that, good video!
Sorry, but I don't get what you said about color palettes belonging to a certain artist... For me, it's just a color association and nothing more... Maybe I just don't get what you understand by "color palettes"
Same I was kinda confused by what she said. no artist can own a color palette. There are art styles that are specific to artists that you obviously can’t trace and steal however you can’t own a palette for yourself. Some people just like the way the colors look and run with it and that’s okay, they don’t need to know the inner workings of anything. Was really confused when she started talking about it but maybe we interpreted it wrong?? Hope she explains
@@loonbii4653 I hope so, I'm confused about it too :)
Super solid advice and beautiful painting as well! I love the way you contrast the warm and cool tones and how the saturation of the warm tones draws you to the face right away
Sweet video and wonderful tips! I started to chuckle at your layers tip! I remember my computer freezing after adding to many layers in Photoshop! I believe my limit was just 6 with my first Mac it only had 16 MB of Ram and I had to save constantly but even then if it detected to many layers it just froze. I was so excited to purchase an 8600 tower and I was a bit of a braggart to my computer club as I had dug down and got 448MB of Ram to allow me to go crazy and used over 15 layers in Photoshop 4.0.1! You are truly inspirational and such a delightful young lady. Thank you for sharing your art journey with us.
Thank you for posting, this painting is beautiful!
I'm sure no one owns a color palette. Colors are natural and for sure no one owns any color. I hate it when people think someone else is "stealing colors" just because that person's palette is similar to another palette. You could've known that many people make their own color palette and others suddenly take inspiration to that palette. Hence, maybe some people can search it up and use that instead. Now, that's not stealing.
It’s cool that you want artists who worked hard to have their own palette be respected, but i think anyone is allowed to use whatever color palette they want to as long as it suits their tastes. There isn’t really a law about copyrights on color palettes unless it’s on big companies with very specific products that might get copied by other companies. So to anyone who’s reading this, GO HAM! If you like one artist’s specific color palette then use it! Whatever’s the result of your work is *your* own and not whoever’s palette whom inspired you :))
Side note: no one can ever really copy and paste someone’s work just through their color palette, there’s always gonna be some kind of variations that makes your art YOURS, unless you copy and paste the entire art itself and call it yours which you can be sued for.
if you have time (and if you feel like it, of course), could you please make a video talking about photoshop and digital art in general? like tips on how to use it to your favor, tools that can help you, how to use them to blend colors, and etc... that would be really helpful for us that are just beggining! 😊
Your art style is so detailed and beautiful. Watching your videos makes me wish I wasn't so lazy. 😆
This is one of my favorite paintings of yours 🥰 thanks for the tips! I also like to use multiple layers for my sketch/line art phase so I can easily edit different areas without affecting the others!
As an artist who has been doing art for quite some time, I’ve seen a lot of discourse on the copying palettes. While I will say that the whole “copying is a form of flattery” is extremely stupid to say the least when it comes to art. However I don’t believe that beginner artists studying the composition of other artist’s works and learning color theory should be considered plagiarism. Not to mention the fact that a-lot of artists I know share extremely similar palettes. However this is just because they have learned what works well for their own art and what colors go well together. It’s like using a pose reference, it’s hard to do a complicated pose with no image to reference it from. I do think that beginner artists should eventually grow and be able to develop their own palette and what works best for them but in order to do that they need experience. I saw someone else mention that they should try to use color palettes from real life, however there are so many things wrong with this statement. Not all artists use realistic color palettes or do realistic art. It’s wrong to assume that every artist does extreme realism. Another thing is that a person’s environment and experience could be very limited compared to the diversity of references to use online. Ik this was kind of long but oh well
AMAZING WORK!! and awesome tips, will definitely be using
Beautiful artwork! However, I hear someone for the first time speaking about owning a color palette. But then again, I never go into things so deep, so I won't jump in conclusions I have no knowledge about. Wish ya all happy upcoming holidays!
I know it's been said already, but the tip about "copying" color palettes is incredibly misleading. I'm concerned that newbie artists will hear that, become misinformed, and feel limited in what they can create in fear that they've "copied" another artist. Obviously if you have the exact same composition and color pick the exact colors of an artwork and pass that off as your own work, it's not going to go well for you. However, artists cannot own colors or color palettes, and different people can come to the same conclusion that the same colors can look good together. It's literally color theory, of course many people are going to use the same groups of colors in their artworks. Same thing goes for poses, we can only bend our bodies in so many ways, and there are a handful of poses that are really popular to draw. If I draw a person's face in 3/4 view, am I going to accuse *every other artist* who drew someone in 3/4 of copying me?
and not only that but using EXISTING color schemes that have worked in the past to experiment teaches you a lot about the relationships of color and light when you begin making your own art. This answer is spot on and appreciated *chef's kiss*
Newbies need to learn how color palettes are created, mindless copying wont help much, they need to "study" other artist color palettes
thank you, this was really helpful and inspiring!!
Really useful tips!! Thanks for sharing
Very pretty painting. I like the colors as well. Thank you for these helpful tips.
Thank you for this!! Very helpful & good advice I haven’t heard before - I’ll definitely be implementing some of these into my digital work! Thank you, thank you!!
thanks for the tips !!! gonna try asap also loveeeee the thumbnail that looks phenomenal ♡
Gosto muito dos seus trabalhos,uma pena eu não compreender a língua já que sou brasileiro... parabéns ao seus trabalhos são magníficos!
Então tu nem ta vendo a guerra nos comentários do pessoal discordando de um assunto que ela disse no video sobre pegar cores ou paletas de uma imagem especificamente 😬 depois dê uma traduzida pelo google aí no chat... vale a pena ver sobre esse assunto!
Thank you for the video!!
notes on the video(the 5 tips):
1. Use the brush you want during the sketch layer. Using a softer/defused will help you blend the sketch into the final piece. Use loose flowy lines, use your entire arm pivoted from the elbow and not the wrist.
2. Use as many layers as you want for your sketch. You can use a smaller brush size on another layer with the lower layer's opacity turned down to refine your sketch to your liking.
3. Use a colour pallet from a photo that inspires you. Pinterest, Unsplash, movies. You shouldn't use the colour palette from another artist because it is more like copying. (As in colour picking specific shades from another artist work, not general clours.) Unless it is from the old masters or if you got permission.
4. Stop if you aren't satisfied with your render (if you are overworking one area).
Why it's not working: You are hyper-focusing on the details of one area and not colour blocking anymore.
Option 1: If you just can't draw this area you can erase that area and restart. Start by colour blocking shapes then add details.
Option 2: Take a look at your sketch and see if the proportions are wrong to begin with. Use a reference! Doesn't have to be pretty pictures, it can be pictures of yourself.
5. Don't be afraid to blur out or cover details. If they don't tell the story or take the attention away from the focal point blur them. Add motion blurs, gaussian blurs, prism blurs. Even with the blurs in, you can still kind of tell there was a lot of details there.
Thank you so much for this.
When I draw it always seems like there's something wrong with my art.
This really helped me a lot.
I’m glad i’m not the only one that felt the color palette thing was a bit extreme. You missed the mark on that one.
man this was the best bday gift (uploaded on my bday but I only saw it now)
i didn't know people could own colours
I am now perplexed due to the color palette tips, I love to paint my digital painting where the palette are arranged and neat. What happened if I use several color palettes that are downloadable from Clip Studio Paint Assets & Lospec? Does it count as "copying" other artist's (the creator) palette? It is rather silly if in further events those color palettes have copyright as a signature piece for each artists...

Juuuust what I need!!!!
Really like this one !
So pretty 😍 and great tips!
On your color palette point:
Some people do put a lot of time into their color palettes, but others don't. It really depends on who made the art. Some people put a lot of work into their sketches while others don't. Some people put more time into the sketch and colorpick colors- whether from other art or from various photos- so they don't spend even more time on one piece. No one owns a color palette, you can't steal a color palette. If that were the case, then there would be a lot of legal cases on color palettes, even if it was on accident that someone has an incredibly similar color palette. That's ridiculous. I would understand if we were talking about characters, but even things like that in legal terms can be difficult to distinguish.
Omg first comment 👀💖.....
Ur vids. Help me a lot...thx💖🙌
Dear Sarah, I absolutely adore your work, but as a photographer, I would love to comment on using a colour palette from an inspiring photo. Personally, I edit images so much that I am setting a completely different mood than in the original and the colours I normally pick have a lot of thought behind them. Often I re-colour a photo completely, and there is a lot of work behind every photoshoot as well. When I don't, I spend a lot of time choosing the right accessoires so they would colour match. I'm very happy when people use my stuff as inspiration, but it would sort of hurt if someone would just copy my colour palette for their art. Sure, there are photos on Unsplash that can be used in that way, as you mention, that's totally fair! But I see myself and my fellow photographers as artists as well and even though our creative process might be different from drawing, we also invest a lot of time thinking about our choices and editing. So, in my eyes - taking inspiration, yes, absolutely! But copying a palette when it's not from a source like Unsplash, please don't! I'm not saying that everyone should agree with me, but I hope I can get my point across as a food for thought
idk what to comment but I heard this helps with the algorithm
Thank you for the video ^^
But so many digital artists take colour palettes from colour palette makers online so, who is stealing who?
wish i watched that video when the dislike button was still a thing, im a new artist, im still learning, if i wanna copy someone's colours to help me learn and understand how colours work together i will, what am i gonna do with it? sell it to one of my 70 followers??? it shitty art thats going nowhere because I only draw for fun, why assume everyone getting into art wants to make a living out of it
oh and the whole 'brands can copyright colours' but they're BRANDS not some small time fan artist on twitter who doesnt have the millions required to copyright said colours. and those copyrighted colours only stop other brands or people trying to make a living out of it not regulr people trying to enjoy art without having elitist artists tell them they cant use this shade because its 'copied'
How do you do portraits without color picking from the reference? I need to do color picking to get a more accurate representation of the person I'm drawing. Or what about the "draw this in your style" challenges that encourage you to use colors matching the original work?
What program are you using to do your paintings
NEED MORE PROCRETE PROCESS VIDEOS PLEASE
¿What brushes do you use? cause the blending in your drawing is beautiful
I'm sorry, but the idea of "owning" a color palette is absolutely ridiculous. No one has a claim to color. If that was the case, everyone who ever did art is a thief.
Here's a secret: there is nothing new that you could possibly do with color combinations. It has all been done. You're not stealing anything. If an artist you like uses rust reds, navy blues, and teals; I -PROMISE- a countless number of artists/photographers/designers/f***ing DOLPHINS, have used it before. Don't let someone else insinuate that they own color combinations, or shame you for using a color palette you saw somewhere else. That's some art elitism at its finest. As long as you're not re-doing an artist's work and calling it your own, you're fine.
I only wanted to get some tips for my digital Art. But instead I was instructed not to use color palettes other people made.
Hi! Maybe this sounds silly, but I'd love to see a tutorial on how you get that light blue/orange prismatic glow effect! I could only ever find Clip Studio Paint autoactions for a red/blue but have no idea how to get the one you apply in this program OTL
saying u can steal someoen else’s color pallets is like when you’re at the playground and you “claim” one of the fun things there like the slide or the monkey bars bsffr 💀💀💀💀
Your art is >>> but the talk about that color part is damn strange ngl
Thank you! :)
Just curious, did you do this all by skill or did you use a reference when drawing this piece.
Beautifully Done ❣
Love from Signature Mash ✍🏼
do u use krita because im thinking of getting it??
That’s photoshop.
so beautiful... i love ur artstyle:)
lol fourth comment
This really helps!! Tyy Also could i tell me what do u use for drawing is it a pen or ? :)
Love this! Quick question: are you using a drawing tablet or using the computer mouse?
Imagine thinking using a color pallet is theft LOL
I can't get my workflow going... I always sketch and sketch but I never start coloring/painting and it's really killing my flow :( I get stuck in tutorials because I want to get better at drawing dynamic photos...
No one holds any copyright on color pallets, you don't need anyone permission to use it
How long did this take?
as someone that pays a lot of attention to color right now and did purposefully take one illustration to imitate the pallete as an exercise, i 100% agree that it counts as copying, it's the very essence lol the reason it would feel kinda off to make characters a different color if it's like the twin stars or something emblematic like that. not many people have studied graphic design yet as teenagers watching this, i didn't' study it either but i understand this point that comes from that industry
Took it seriously until the color pallet thing. No one owns a pallet. That sounds so stupid lmao.
Ничего не понимаю , но мне очень нравится атмосфера в видео 😅🤙
thats pretty arrogant to suggest that you never copied anyone´s art. yet your work is the same cookie cut instracam art we see everyone make. get over your self. we all copy thats how we improve.
yep, i need to stop focusing on the details, its a big problem i have with digital and traditional art
yeah, no, fam, the color palette tip was bad. say you drew something and there is a specific way you want the coloring to be, but you are bad in color theory and cant get the art to be what you want. if you find an art that has the colors that feel what you wanted to have on your art i think colorpicking is fine. besides, not everything will be a copy, because in the end, youll have to look for the colors that you need, but are not present on the image you are colorpicking from and see how they match with what you already have. id say colorpicking and trying to match stuff to that on its own is some sort of learning.
Lol … but colors are everywhere.
I miss your watercolours :(
Sorry. I don't give one rip if someone else uses COLORS that I use 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Strongly disagree. Sorry.
Video was cool til you started rambling about color palletes. Came here for tips not a lecture on your pet peeves.
I strongly disagree with the color part, sorry no. No one owns a color *legally* and from my experience my art improved with color picking until I learned how to pick colors myself, this ain't twitter this is RUclips the rest of the tips are cool but the color part is bs
I think that in the end any artist never copy all the color palette of someone else but even if, It Is too extreme and I dont think professionals working for big clients bother about that.. Makes me think a lot of Wlop because you can see the artist Nixeu that has clearly "taken" a lot from Wlop, or all people clearly taking from Sakimi Chan. Tho i never heard of lawsuit against those people because in the end i dont think pro care.
I can kinda see where you’re coming from. Personally, I think if you’re going to draw inspiration from a color palette, the best thing to do is just try to replicate the color palette by eye if anything. Using the eye dropper may be a bit too much in my opinion. On the other hand, it’s kind of silly to get upset at someone copying your palette. From a purely graphic design perspective, like say you are working for a new fast food company and you pick yellow and red as your two base colors for advertising- THAT is when you get yourself into a pickle. Now if I were to create a painting with a pink, blue, and orange color palette and I by an off chance find out someone color picked it without stealing the composition of my piece, I simply would not care. Now if I KNOW and can prove that they’ve been doing that with multiple pieces- that’s when we are running into a problem. All in all, it’s really not that big of a deal. I think the real reason people are so pressed about this is the context of it all. I think it would’ve been best brought up on a different video where you could have further explained it.
I know the amount of comments over this is probably overwhelming, but just itch past it. If you want, just go further in depth on an Instagram reel or something. Just don’t stress that’s all lol because if I were you I just KNOW my anxiety would be through the roof and so I feel bad.
Please write my essays 😭
@@cryptical1210 I will if you pay, qween
Imagine being this far up your own to claim people can't copy yours or anyone else's colors.
but if you copy it from movies or photos it's fine... no work went into creating those and those people deserve no respect :D
also your pinned explanation sounds super entitled and keeps the exact same issues, I doubt most artists are going to color pick a milka chocolate bar wrapper and try to sell it to it's competitors
5 tips and you start out with ''Use soft brush'' ? Really? Literally the biggest mistake you can do is render stuff with soft brush
You’re such an amazing artist. Sawing you speed painting like that please my eyes so much. You are so good L love your shading method...This is so gorgeous... You’re one of my main inspiration. Thank you for your advices and for your yt chanel...thank you !
5:00 If they're just starting out why are you threatened by them though? You think they're going to...steal your job..?
I do agree with not copying artist, but don’t forget a lot of people just getting into art do art studies of other artist to try to study their techniques and so forth to aid them in their art journey. Of course if said artist doesn’t mention it’s a study then it’s an issue.
While taking other's colors isn't morally wrong, you should still avoid it because youre becoming dependent and your understanding of color isn't improving. Idk why this is such an issue
