As someone who still has a lot of trouble with good shading & lighting, this is so helpful! You really are awesome for posting stuff like this! Beginners can learn these tips early, and even veterans can improve their art and make life easier for themselves!
The FIRST ONE with the colour wheel and being like... hey if your light is this OPPOSITE ON THE WHEEL... every damn tutorial I have watched so far, nobody, NOBODY has made it that easy or pointed that out. That one piece of advise makes this the best video ever and, you're based af. Thank you!
I've been drawing for 4 years and I have never heard the tip of using complimentary colors for light/shadows until now... you have absolutely blown my mind
There is way more to shading coloration, the colors of the nearby things on the surrounding environment appear reflected in the shadows of all things, there are many helpful tutorials on shading at the channel of Marco Bucci.
Your videos have helped me improve my art so much, I have been in a huge art-block for what feels like years cause I always felt my art wasn't any good. Thanks to your videos, the easy steps, reassuring words making me feel like I could actually do it, and overall amazing art on your part, I have been feeling SO happy with mine. Every video is absolutely amazing, thank you so much!
thanks for the tutorial!! I've always had difficulty when rendering faces because there's so much stuff concentrated in one area... so many folds, corners, shapes, sometimes I just felt like I ran out of space specially when rendering
Love the video, and it did have some super useful information, but there was one thing I think was missed with metal in particular. Metal reflections are always tinted the color of the material. When you render metal, reflections (including that of the sky) will be in the color metal you are working with (such as yellows for gold and browns for copper). Huge shout-out to a wonderful artist on RUclips, BoroCG, for that tid bit of information.
Wow, this is amazingly to the point and helpful! Many '4 tips for beginners' lists are either super basic or very specific. Your video actually provides short clear tips that are immediately and broadly applicable for most beginners. I, for one, will use these tips from now on for sure. Thank you very much. I honestly hope your channel blows up soon because your content is fantastic quality, and lots of people would benefit from it so much.
Let's say for things like brown hair, what would the complementary color or shadow color be? In one of my latest pieces, I had a blue highlight color and it looks pretty nice. 😊
if you don't want to use overlay layers, you could try grey-ish brown (looks bluish, but more neutral) or add reflective colors in the shadow (so color of clothes/ whatever is colored & close to that part of the hair)
Oh thank you! I actually learned a little bit. Colour shading is one of my weakest skills. I pretty much only did sketches growing up, so I only learned to shade in monochrome. And even then, I need to learn about light dynamics and shapes, I think
Hue of shadow isn't complement colour, it depends on surrounding area (in day light with clear sky it'll be bluish, in dark room lighted only by candles - warm)
Blimey, you talk at the speed of light. I feel that I might end up with whiplash every time I pause the video :p All joking aside, enjoyed the content, it's very on-point and you cover pieces of information that is often brushed over by other "tutors" (pun totally intended). Have subbed the channel because it definitely speaks to me as a learner whom never had the opportunity to get an education in art and because the content is conveyed to me in a way that I can absorb which is very on-par with only one other RUclips presence that really works which is Ctrl-Paint. Look forward to absorbing all the content :)
So for the color portion at the start. What would do if I say had two different color light souses? How would I do the shading and lighting then? So for example, say someone was walking down a walkway around in a nightclub or down a path at night that's lit up by neon sines. how would I go about piking the colors for the shading at that point if there are two or more colored lights? P.S. sorry for any bad grammar or spelling ^^;
I'd say if you use rendering layers (multiply, soft/hard light...) it doesn't, though some will be prettier? Not sure how that would work traditionally though.
Honestly I really wish there is somewhere I could go like specifically to ask art questions that isn’t TikTok, twitter or Reddit because everytime I try I get no views and no help Anyway question for anyone still reading this, is there like a blending/smudging/blurring (idk how to phrase it) tutorial somewhere? Like honestly everytime I use the smudge tool it’s just all over the place (yes I lower opacity) and in the end I just end up using Gaussian blur 😔 but this person doesn’t even use the smudge tool, they use a textured brush HOW I did try tho and still I can’t blend like how other ppl do it, help 😭
OH FOR FRAK SAKE!!! IS ANY FREAKING TUTORIAL THAT EXPLAINS THE SOFTWARE INSTEAD OF YET ANOTHER "oh yeah what you need to do is understand the fundamentals and color theory" I ALREADY KNOW THAT I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HOW YA'LL DO IT DIGITALLY!! NOT STUDY THE SAME THING I ALREADY STUDIED MULTIPLE TIMES!!! AND I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO RELIABLY ON PAPER!!!
A lot of the principles from analog art carry over into digital art so most videos you see about “How to do ____” are going to be similar across the board. Most creators making digital art tutorials are trying to teach you techniques not how to use your art program so my recommendation to you would be search for videos focused on teaching you to use your art program and if you still need help doing a specific task like shading or blending you can use phrases like “in (insert program name)” during your search for example: “How to blend skin tones in Clip Studio” If you can’t find a good video for your program of choice then watch a video for a different program and google search what the equivalent tool is in your program
If someone's communication speed doesn't match my own preferences, I often change the playback speed in the settings (in my case it's often faster). It can really make a big difference to my enjoyment and attention.

I use Procreate on my iPad with a logitech pen, and I want to to know if the software I use is similar to yours?
I just wanna make sure I can blend right as it’s hard to find the perfect brush to blend with.
This was so helpful!! Now my pictures are one step closer to looking less like abominations 😅
Same 😂
Mood.
This spoke too true to me today
Love it

I highly recommend watching the color shading videos of Marco Bucci.

thanks for the tutorial!! I've always had difficulty when rendering faces because there's so much stuff concentrated in one area... so many folds, corners, shapes, sometimes I just felt like I ran out of space specially when rendering
Thanks, I did not know about that way of shading (choosing the opposite of the highlight color)
Love the video, and it did have some super useful information, but there was one thing I think was missed with metal in particular. Metal reflections are always tinted the color of the material. When you render metal, reflections (including that of the sky) will be in the color metal you are working with (such as yellows for gold and browns for copper).

Tried this on some of my recent art and WOW did that make it look so much better
My mind is officially blown, the RGB shadowing technique is one I definitely need to try, I really think it's what I've been missing. God bless!

The fact that I have actually learned more from your videos than an actual art class that I payed for (college) is continuously shocking
Do you have a video explaining the difference between cel shading and soft shading?
Yes we talk about cel shading vs soft shading and different types of blending in this video! ruclips.net/video/gH0Yh7_pDtk/видео.html
@@Wingedcanvas Thank you.
you have the absolute BEST art tips known to humanity, AND you teach it so well!! thank you so so much!
I love this!
It's so simple but really good
Let's say for things like brown hair, what would the complementary color or shadow color be?
In one of my latest pieces, I had a blue highlight color and it looks pretty nice. 😊
if the brown is more of a red tone it would be blue/cyan
if you don't want to use overlay layers, you could try grey-ish brown (looks bluish, but more neutral) or add reflective colors in the shadow (so color of clothes/ whatever is colored & close to that part of the hair)
depends on the undertone
thank you, i have seen other videos on this topic and understood non of it! yours is really simple to follow
you explain everything in your vid’s so well
Now all of these color wheels images actually making sense now!
I'm about to get a drawing tablet this seams like it will be useful to know
I DID NOT KNOW ANY SHADING METHODS UNTIL NOW. THANK YOU
Oh thank you! I actually learned a little bit. Colour shading is one of my weakest skills. I pretty much only did sketches growing up, so I only learned to shade in monochrome. And even then, I need to learn about light dynamics and shapes, I think
Glad we could help! We've got a lot of other great videos on these topics that you might also enjoy.
Very helpful, thank you
WAS THE BASS IN THE BEGINNING NECESSARY OH LORDY
ooh that shiny object one is very useful
Thanks I need this to help me finish of the pieces that are in plain colours
Hue of shadow isn't complement colour, it depends on surrounding area (in day light with clear sky it'll be bluish, in dark room lighted only by candles - warm)
hell yes exactly

MIND. BLOWN. HECK. I WISH I KNEW EARLIER
So for the color portion at the start. What would do if I say had two different color light souses? How would I do the shading and lighting then?
So for example, say someone was walking down a walkway around in a nightclub or down a path at night that's lit up by neon sines. how would I go about piking the colors for the shading at that point if there are two or more colored lights?
P.S. sorry for any bad grammar or spelling ^^;
aye this was so good , great info
i need 10 hours of this sound 5:02😁
For the light and shadow, does it matter what the base color is?
I'd say if you use rendering layers (multiply, soft/hard light...) it doesn't, though some will be prettier?
Not sure how that would work traditionally though.
Yay this will be fun
cant wait
Does the light color and dark color thingy work the same on skin?
thanks sm!
Thanks
i’m trying to do the first tip for shading with a black character of mine right now, but it’s just not working. am i doing something wrong?
My attention span really be tested but I learnt something so it has been extended
yall r over here using soft light like gods while im just using add layers for my lighting 😭
i switch between both depends on my mood 🤷🏾♀️
doesn't the shading color depend on the environment the object is in?
what do you use for doing your art (tech, apps) ?
Genius
Nice vid!!
Honestly I really wish there is somewhere I could go like specifically to ask art questions that isn’t TikTok, twitter or Reddit because everytime I try I get no views and no help
Anyway question for anyone still reading this, is there like a blending/smudging/blurring (idk how to phrase it) tutorial somewhere? Like honestly everytime I use the smudge tool it’s just all over the place (yes I lower opacity) and in the end I just end up using Gaussian blur 😔 but this person doesn’t even use the smudge tool, they use a textured brush HOW I did try tho and still I can’t blend like how other ppl do it, help 😭
If I were to draw a character with an abnormal/not human skin color would the shading rules change
I notice that I shade same as in No. 1 rightside, w/c im gud.
so long story short, i have been doing it wrong this entire time.
this is exactly what female marco bucci would sound like
Is it sped up becuase it looks like yo chuged a mtn dew before this you are going so fast when drawing lol (That was a joke
)
:)
Your little laugh,😅
time to watch this video and not do any of the tips
Good shading tips, would boil your teeth! 👍
