When he said it's super messy I died. Sir that belongs in a museum.

Here's my obligatory "how is this not a channel with 100s of thousands of subscribers?!" Your examples are so clear that I feel I might be able to actually apply these 'rules' and techniques. In the past I knew of them, but applying them was a different story. The video production is great too. Wishing good things for the future of the channel!

As a SLIGHTLY color blind person I've always been nervous about "inbetween", muddy or desaturated colors because I never trust myself, "Is there too little pink or too much yellow in this skin tone? Does it look unnatural?" and so on. This way of thinking about it however, as warm and cool light, forgetting the "base color" of the skin completely and showing the color wheel and explaining the very specific pattern this warmness/coolness of light follows, is the best bit of information on color I've ever gotten, thank you very much.

i feel so blessed watching this :) this is why i love the internet, you can be a nobody and get lessons from great people, from the comfort of your home, for free. it blows my mind :) thank you so much, Jeremy. your videos are changing the way i feel about digital painting and the way i feel while i'm painting. I started doing light studies almost daily and it's FUN! i don't know why i struggled with it so much before! always wanted to be the kind of person who sketches daily with ease and now i'm that person :) your algorythm for approaching light studies and your brushes helped a lot. i love how simple and amicable your explanations are, and the way you illustrate them right away make them stick in my mind so well you are an amazing teacher and i am eternally grateful ❤

Key thing here: the saturation trick works with transmissive materials, plastics, cheese, plants, skin... saturates because light passes through, and desaturates because of fresnel reflections... if you start to play with different materials you'll see the trick breaks a bit.. do it too much and everything will look like well lit wax Still is something that works really well for hand painting, and allows you to get these color rich images Thanks for sharing this with us!

You have literally changed my life.. not even joking,, I'm always scared of colour because how complicated it looks and I never understood it properly. When I followed you and drew this it felt amazing that I can't even believe I made something believable with no struggle and it's amazing how you taught this so easily without all complications. Thank you.

This is exactly what I’ve been scouring the internet for. A much deeper understanding of light than just “shadows and highlights”. Thank you so much!

Two videos (this on and the Color Relativity one) and my mind was blown twice. Happily subscribed. Let the binge watching begin!

Your videos often hit with the force of dawning revelation, and this one is no exception. I've always struggled with muddy shadows, naively just making my colors darker, and I watched this beautifully articulated lesson with excitement. I loved the real time demo too, and the bonus timelapse refinement was a great touch - the best of both worlds. Thank you Jeremy :)
