Since there is no immediate uprising about my virtual studio I’m going to keep going with my green screen shenanigans ☝️ Video production is a long process and it was fun to have a silly new element for myself to tinker with. I hope I can do one art video from a train or space 🌌. Expect nonsense on that front ☝️
I am a self taught artist and youtube have been my school and I found this video of yours plus another video showing how the shadows projected by an object are the of the opposite hue of the light source and those where the only parts of information that I needed as an artist to paint from my mind. You have made my day and I cannot love you more as artist just because of that. Thanks a lot, my fundamentals theory are now complete and my guess work can be now reduced way further closer to zero. thanks lot brother
Really appreciate how you deliver information. This might sound silly, but how you teach has really "freed" me from ridgid art lessons iv had in the past, even though it eventually connects back. Its just nice to have the same information presented in a different way that just clicks.
Inherently the best art lessons do contain restrictions so I can fully appreciate how they might feel limiting sometimes. Best method to learn art is to identify those feelings and instead of fighting against them it’s better to schedule in sessions where you are free to draw or paint whatever you feel like doing. Art lessons such as this one is a simple and effective way to master colour but it does cost a lot of concentration to do. It can also be very motivating to see your own progress after doing assignments such as this one. Therefore maintaining a healthy balance of both types of art sessions is important for consistent growth. One type to open new possibilities for creative expression and another for enjoying the skills you’ve already acquired.
I have read so many color art theory books, but for some reason, could not put them into practice. Your video really put everything together in such a practical way! And all without any added fluff too! I did the practice that you mentioned and I’m so surprised at how well it helped me understand colors!! My artwork has leveled up because of you. Thank you so much!! ❤
My pleasure, I wanted there to be a practical next step after my previous colour theory video and teaching concept art during spring has only reminded me of just how important this assignment is.
Thank you so much for all of your amazing advice. By watching your videos, I can see improvements in my art, such as painting with just one brush for the entire painting or working with fewer layers. I have gained confidence in my brushwork using the one-brush method. Previously, I used to spend many minutes choosing brushes rather than actually painting and would quickly get bored of my process. I will definitely follow this video on experimenting with colors because I am not fully satisfied with my color usage. Thank you again for making these videos. Please stay happy and healthy, Sir Mikko.
On brush use: its great that you’ve tried both suggestions. Personally I think using one brush helps with using the brush strokes as composition elements, as a way to describe volumes and it lets the character of the brush be part of what unifies the look of the entire piece. On this assessment: It’s really an exercise that always improves colour use. To get the most out of this assignment I recommend paying attention to where those impossible hues described in the end are found. It’s that muted edge of the hue cube that’s often completely forgotten when we just choose colours based on where we think they are. Colour symbols in our head such as “grass is green and sky is blue” are difficult to battle against. But when you approach finding the right hues through this process almost like a simple puzzle to be solved you can access a much wider spectrum of colours that in turn make the entire painting process easier. It also just happens to always result in paintings that have a strong mood because the presence of light affects every surface in the piece. It’s an exciting exercise but it also pushes me every time to find those optical illusions that change the way we see colour.
Mikko, I bought the brushes to help support you (the least I could do in trade for your awesome free videos). And, will become a member as soon as my finances settle down, I just bought a house 🏡 😅 what other way helps support? Buying your prints? I love them and can’t wait to have them displayed in my new studio.
I’ve been binge consuming your videos ❤🐻❤ I’ve been anxiously waiting for another. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are a phenomenal teacher and very talented artist, I love your art!!
This has to be one of the best color tutorials out there. Suddenly so many things make sense and things I knew about before are even more elaborate in my mind. Thank you!
I find myself watching the video over and over (that’s how my brain works to process because I’m a visual learner). The explaining of how to select a lighter AND moving the ring to the direction of the light color was the key to unlocking how to do lighting.
Wow, thank you Mikko for sharing so much information and doing great video editing! my eyes are happy to watch all this beautiful work and also giggle sometimes ( the moment with “no one cares”) I started painting in procreate with dull boring sketches to oversaturated childish ones, i am very inspired to use the knowledge u shared!
This was AMAZING. I always learn so much from your videos and live streams (I usually watch the playbacks). But this was next level, Mikko. I've never heard color theory explained this way, and seeing your examples in action as you create a piece really just helps tie it all together. I flip between traditional media and working digitally, but I always get so frustrated with my digital work so I don't usually see it through to the end. Your videos always make me want to pick my apple pencil back up and get back to it. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Also - Give Vivi some scratches from me!! :)
Vivi is currently having a very active day. I couldn’t spend as much time with her as she deserves during launch of these 3 things. Today we’ve had plenty of time to play with her favourite duck and she got new slippers to destroy. I’ve had a plan to do more traditional art again for the past 3 years but it always feels like there’s never enough time. This year I’ll try to make a video out of those at some point because otherwise I’ll never get to it. Traditional or digital, colour theory remains the same. Thank you for your kind words. It really helps to know someone out there is watching these 🐻🐻❄️
@@angrymikko I actually found a screenshot I took from one of your IG stories back in 2019 where you were doing a Q&A! The question was about how do you get past the ugly stage and your answer was really encouraging and reminding us that every piece of art has an ugly stage and you just have to push past it. All that to say, I’ve been following your work and teachings for awhile 💖 Color theory is always high on my “to practice” list. I love this video so much and have revisited it a few times already.
Thank you so much, the purpose of this channel is to educate and inspire. My art teacher once told me being an artist is a very lonely practice. By having this channel I don’t feel that’s true at all. Even these paintings were done in stream sessions with tons of other motivated artists painting with me.
4:30 funnily enough, i preferred to look at the sides because there were more greys in the image, i focused on the consistentness of that grey instead of the outlier.
I recommend by drawing a 3d arrow in the beginning to display the direction of light in your scene. This might sound silly but I always do this in more complicated paintings because it’s really easy to forget where the light is coming from. Usually I paint the arrow with the same hue as my light source on an empty layer to have a note to refer to. Then I lock the layer so that I don’t accidentally paint or delete it.
Kiitos Mikko. :D That's exactly what I needed. I'm currently working on the first illustration of my fantasy novel taking place in finnish lapland and this picture contains of course northern lights. Revontulet. 💚 So yeah...here we are, the universe showing me your upload. :D Your tips are very valuable because they remind me not to start too bright. Challenge accepted. I will choose these palette for this illustration and tackle your task. :D And in addition to the great creative work, can we also leave an awwwwww-moment for these cute reindeers! ❤ So thank you for all this great input. Greetings from Germany Anke
@@angrymikkoI saw moose up close in Sweden and felt damn small. Lapland, reindeer and watching the northern lights are definitely still on my bucket list.
Mikko! This was really a gamechanger for me. I thought I understood colors but I really didn’t. You have helped me in so many ways to learn great things. I love your brushes and use them daily, has been for years. You rule! Thanks!❤
Really happy to know they’re part of your workflow. Sometimes releasing new products is really REALLY scary but I’ve always felt confident that my brushes are great because they’ve gone through so much testing before I share them. Glad to hear you’re finding these colour tutorials helpful. I don’t know why but I find it really satisfying when I figure out a visual way to explain something that in an art class sometimes can take a lot longer to explain with slides. Here in particular the original script had twice as long section explaining the buffer zones but once I got the animations done for that section it seemed like unnecessary repetition to even repeat the text that I ended up cutting completely. Weird thing to get excited about but there are endless of weird things about making videos anyway. =)
Painting from life is definitely useful. I did plenty of those in last month’s streams. They were all focused on colour theory too because it is present in all art involving colours.
I’m new and I found a shortcut. (I might not be the first to think of this but I haven’t seen a video about it yet). I screen shot all the palettes and put them into one single photo, next I used that photo as a REFERENCE so I don’t have to keep opening the color wheel! It floats so it cuts back on another step.
That’s a great idea. I wasn’t prepared for how cute they were up close. I was explicitly advised not to pet them but it was difficult. They have such a gentle aura to the way they move, even when I offered snacks 🍃
I loved this color guide you put together :) I was thinking of getting the brushset as well to support, however I already got the Graphic illustration one - does it have overlaps or its an entirely different kit? thanks!
Greetings from Alaska, Mike, that is what people call you, correct? I’ve been drawing and painting on my tablet since Apple came out with one that has an Ipencil. Never have I ever seen a technique so unusual and fantastic! How did you e er discover that way of painting? It’s not taught or learned. That’s a talent you have to be born with! I’ve tried your style, I get lost after the white of the page is gone! lol. Any secrets you aren’t sharing? I. And see your frustration sometimes and it must be exhausting to work on the tablet, go to work elsewhere, produce a video e wry week and still remain positive. My hat is off to you ! Oh, any more suggestions about how you know which color you are going to keep and is the picture you’re painting in your head? Text when you game a moment, k?
I hope you can forgive my spellcheck, it, my tablet, didn’t like me calling you Mika , it wants to type propaganda, and cause trouble for us here in Soldotna. Our state is only 40 miles from your country, we can walk cross the frozen ocean in the winter! Please text if you see fit, I am wait for words of your wisdom, and talents!
My pleasure, I hope you enjoy this video and the downloads. No spoilers but there might be an additional thing coming for everyone who downloaded it 🐻💖
Hey @angrymikko if i already have all your brush sets, do it make sense to buy the new one, i mean are there new brushes or the same ones just bundled up ? Thanks for all your hard work
My pleasure. It was fun doing the motion graphics for this one because I noticed I’ve gotten a little bit better at that which helped me visualise a lot more and more complex concepts spoken in this video.
Kiitos videosta, pitääpä testata näitä tekniikoita. Värien käyttö itellä aina ollu vähän mitä on, mennyt lähinnä ”no tää kai näyttää hyvältä” tyylillä ymmärtämättä mitään sen syvällisempää 😂
I got the set! I just have one question. In one of your recent videos I saw you making clouds with a brush that is specific for that. But it is not in this set. I there a way to get it? I got Watercolors for Bears, Best of Angrymikko, Brushes for Painters and the Cloud Weaver brush, but none of them is like this specific one :D EDIT: I found the video ruclips.net/video/0gujbnRgQLo/видео.html It is called the Cloud Sculptor brush.
That one is from the set in the art course Master Sky Painting in Procreate. You can do that same technique with any of the high opacity brushes that have an uneven edge. In fact in that art course the main brush is a very simple brush used in every phase of the tutorial. (not the cloud sculptor one) Cloud Weaver that is free is also great for that purpose but I recommend either duplicating the base layer or creating the body of the cloud with the wetness set to 0% Hope you enjoy the set and let me know if there is anything I can do to help with using them. Btw there is also a full video for the new set and it also has quite a bit of practical advice on using brush strokes in general. I recommend watching it if you have the time. Originally I thought to just make a cute couple of minutes intro but it ballooned into a full tutorial that’s longer than this one. 😅 I hope it helps people to not feel overwhelmed by these tools and highlight the controls and features of each brush.

could you have a PNG or JPG format of your free color pallets for people who don't use Procreate
This is a great idea. I will have to do this when I get back home but this will take a while.
Do the Colors show true if they are screen shot and someone use them as a reference image, and use dropper?
Thank you, Mikko! ❤
I’m new and I found a shortcut. (I might not be the first to think of this but I haven’t seen a video about it yet). I screen shot all the palettes and put them into one single photo, next I used that photo as a REFERENCE so I don’t have to keep opening the color wheel! It floats so it cuts back on another step.
You can also float normal palette window by detaching it from the top bar. Same for all colour selection tools.
Were those caribou at the end? It would be nice to see a painting with them one day as a lesson.
That’s a great idea. I wasn’t prepared for how cute they were up close. I was explicitly advised not to pet them but it was difficult. They have such a gentle aura to the way they move, even when I offered snacks 🍃
Love you mikkoo
