How to COLOR // 4 steps

Here's a coloring tutorial bc I said so. I tried this traditionally and it kinda works too :}}
Also I referenced the drawing I used as an example (the pink haired one)! You can go check out and support the model here: pCYOH-YYhz...

    0:32 🐥 Alright, I'll try to make it short The word ambient/ambience means "surroundings". Ambient light refers to the phenomenon where the surrounding light in the environment bounces onto the subject. This is mostly visible on the shadow areas (because that's the only place where it's dark enough for the bounce lights to appear in) Ambient occlusion on the other hand is when the light rays that are bouncing in the environment, couldn't reach the small, teeny tiny crevices of the subject. If no light ray could enter the corner... Ofcourse it'll be dark. In other words, the "ambient light" will be "occluded" (subtracted) from those areas, thus its called "ambient occlusion". These are mostly seen where two objects are so close to each other that, they physically obstruct any light to appear. And there we go, hope I've explained these concepts well enough 🥸

    Step 1- base: Desaturated base colors Step 2 - Shadows: move down the color wheel or square diagonally -> \ (not vertically -> | ) Higlights are more saturated on the right while the highlights are more desaturated on the left Step 3 - Line art colors: Lock the line art and color it in twitch the shadow color to make it look less harsh Step 4 - ambient light: Pick a desaturated blue, dab it on a shadow, and then color pick that color to draw on as polish Extra tips: 1: Oversimplify and block out your colors 2: Organize your layers to make it easier to find the one you need 3: Remember lighting. The environment influences the area. Light bounces off objects. A blue shy will bounce blue light. A camp fire will bounce orange light 4: Try not to use pure black or white 5: it’s okay to color pick form other artists to study how they color. Try not to pic from real photos or it will confuse you 6: add back some more saturated colors if you use a desaturated base Hope this helps someone

    I want to add that ambient light is based on the colour of your background. An example of this is when you take a picture of sunny area. The direct light is yellow because of the sun and the shadow/ambient light is blue because the sky is blue. The ambient light doesn't stay the same and it changes depending on the background you paint If you have no bg, just go with blue or purple as those are the more common ambient light scenarios that exist. Hope this is useful to some artists! :D

    It's crazy how having a foundation in drawing or in painting completely changes the way you approach building an image. As someone with a more of a drawing background, your approach to color and lighting/shadow was so enlightening! (pun intended) Also the fact that you started with a rough sketch and then further refined as you painted and added detail along the way is so different than what I usually do. (which is start with fully rendered detailed lineart) I'm trying to strengthen my all around illustration skills so this was really helpful!

  • @emmarina3525

    Ambient occlusion is like, those areas of extreme darkness that light cannot get to, like certain hair strands, maybe behind the ears or between fingers etc. Make sure to pay attention to them and leave them to the end of the shading process, put them on a different layer and switch it off to see the difference they make. It's really neat :)

    I'm not sure if it's correct, but my Fine Arts teacher in art school taught us that ambient light is any light in a space that may hit and thus impact the color of objects. Ambient occlusion is where the lack of the ambient light might create 'deep darks' or otherwise give you chances to use color to emphasize shadow rather than using highlights, because you're rendering a space that cannot have ambient light (like, the dark center of a cave. Outside and around the mouth of the cave you'll have ambient light, but inside will have no light source, so you may use shadow to build form rather than light.)
