    An advice I can give to anyone who is struggling with colours is: be daring. Use colours that you'd usually never use to shade. For example instead of using white or a lighter hue to convey light use red, blue or any other colour. See what works and what doesn't. Experimentation is the key to success in art.

    • @ergojosh
      @ergojosh  4 года назад +67

      To add to this try using greyish colors! From my experience so far, all these colors are what I would have thought before except wayyy less saturated.

    Recently got some interesting advice that made it easier for me to process things. The basic gist of it is to unify temperatures as you would values. Cool light means warm shadow and warm light means cool shadow as a general rule. Haven't really experimented much with it yet but it has made me look at things differently.

  • @odinewb
    @odinewb 3 года назад

    Bro I know this is an older video but THANK YOU SO MUCH for this. I have a horrible habit of starting pieces, getting the main focus of the image pretty much finished and then going completely into a 'writers block' like stage to where I can't decide where I want to go with the paintings or what I want to add to help get details or context. Eventually I get stuck for so long I just completely lose motivation and interest and add to the ever growing list of failed and incomplete projects. The absolute biggest factor in this was creating or envisioning a fluid color palette/swatch that would help blend and create a more engaging and interesting pieces.
    Again man THANK YOU. You have no idea how helpful this simple process is to me.

    I’ve heard of some digital art programs having a feature that pixelates an image, and that’s a cool way to get colors also.
    I’ve seen some artists use this method where they reduce a photo to 6 different colored pixels

  • @snaabras
    @snaabras 4 года назад +7

    I think there is a lot of long term benefits from not relying directly on the palette from another image. Observing the reference and trying to mimic a palette by choosing the colors yourself is far better in my opinion. It makes you evaluate what you see and assess how to apply that to your image. Over time you'll definitely become more confident in your own senses and how to apply colors to your work.
    But that's just my opinion. Whatever makes you enjoy your own creative process is probably a good way to go about it.

    This is exactly where I am with regards to learning how to color digitally. You’ve verbalized it perfectly! It’s about finding the hue of those subtle grays. I like to pick the color I think it is, and then color, and then shift the hue around until I find what looks right to me. Color palettes are just a quicker, and probably better way of getting there!

  • @olson9954

    oh, I do that too! the way I do it is that I take a ref pic of more or less what type and color of light do I want to use, then I play a bit with color balance setting to make it more of what I want to achieve with that colors, then I eyedrop the colors, for eg. skin shadow, skin midtone, skin highlights, then hair shadows, midtones, etc, etc. But now I think I like your method better. Great vid
