    I had an art teacher once upon a time, who was truly skilled with paint and sketching... AND she warned me that my biggest problem with the things I struggled worst about drawing was "Trying TOO hard"... I'm reminded of her from time to time, when I see comments like this one... and maybe, that's a problem for more people than just me. ;o)

    This is by far my favorite art channel on KZread for the simple reason that you guys just make things so easily learned and digestible- you just sort of explain principles (even more complicated ones) in a way that's super easy to understand and apply to your own work- for example, I hadn't even thought about the cold highlights/warm shadows thing consciously but it makes complete and total sense and I'm definitely keeping that in mind for future work down the line. I'm working on about a 50-page minicomic at the moment that I'm definitely going to apply this principle to. Thank you guys for doing what you do, it's absolutely invaluable ♥

    A lot of my art is actually based on a colder feel, which means usually I stick to the singular hue of a color, and I do sometimes use that to my advantage to create points of interest by adding in more hue variation in places such as a clearing in a forest or a cave with light shining on a pedestal, so I'll note, hue variation can be used to better direct the eyes towards the main part of the piece. This is if you wish to do this sort of coloring style. Also, this is by far the best video on cel shading 2D stuff I've ever seen, it's very thorough and simplistic enough to understand while not babying the audience.

    "Half of learning to draw, is observation. Understanding what you're looking at, and not just drawing from imagination" I always saw it as the other way round, but this makes so much sense now that it's mentioned. Thanks for the guide, it's really well put together to help understand the process 😊

    i wouldnt take her word as gospel if i were you, she was wrong about shadow and light color in this video. Warm light doesnt mean cold shadow, cold light doesnt mean warm shadow. Your shadow color is the color of your ambient light or environment. the color of the light doesnt have anything to do with the color of the shadow.

    For the cracked the glass, they should be as thick as the glass pane is. So your's was a bit too thin. Keep in mind there's also a refraction going on so they might not appear as thick as the sides of the pane of glass, but it should be at least close in thickness.
