Color reveals begin at 5:00 :)
I'm using Photoshop CC, but you can follow these same steps in most digital painting apps. Happy painting everyone!
You should see Apterus Graphics' (peter polach) works. This technique yields a very similar style to his works. Maybe an analysis on it would be super neat.
I probably watched about 500+ videos about digital art and im really sure that this is the most interesting/the best i've ever seen!. Good job Marco!, deff will try this technique out!
Hi, do you know if there's an option to do this in Procreate?
@@TheDarkOne9942 I'm trying to figure this out as well.
Marco Bucci Do you know if i can do something like this in Procreate?
“Just have fun abusing that color wheel”
Color Wheel: oh no...
Eye Tea
Color wheel: *haha, I’m in danger!*
What are you doing, step-painter?
@@stensoft aWwW cOME ON I WAS GONNA SAY IT
💜💙💚💛🧡❤ nah ill give it some lovin stead
I took a composition class about 10 years ago and the teacher was showing us Frazetta paintings. We were like wow yeah, that's cool and stuff, and he was talking about values, and then he said "that sky is GREEN, people." We simply had not even noticed that the sky in the Frazetta painting was green. It totally worked and we didn't even notice.
i'm interesting to see what painting it was
I did something similar in one of my paintings inspired by Van Gogh. I painted the sky yellow, the sun of a bright red and everything else using different tones of green, and it worked pretty well
Evelyn Garcia yeah me too
Nice. A similar thing happened to me years ago, when I began learning from oil painters, and saw they all were mixing blues and greens into their fleshtones ... and it all worked.
He’s the guy that did Conan the Barbarian right?
for anyone that uses procreate: change your layer to "luminosity", abuse the color wheel, and then reveal by changing it back to "normal"
i needed you and you came through
How do you color pick though
what about the color pick?
@@kenny_ki @Jaida K Same as you usually would in procreate: the color dot in the upper right. When you switch the layer back to normal mode, your colors will show up
@@GreatBigBore ohhh thanks but i found a better way lol just change your whole ipad to grayscale temporarily
I like how with the old man painting, even though the colors look pretty random, they not only give off an emotional element to the painting, they give him an aura. I think the clash of colors there give a sense that this man is disgruntled, a mess of emotions and thoughts, and I even think it suggests sensory effects too. I can almost smell the image because of the different conflicting colors. Sweaty skin on an uncomfortably hot day, the polystyrene of his jacket, the damp, rank alleyway, sun beating down on dirty pavement. Fascinating that something so random can give you a supernatural sense of the character and overall image.
Honestly, he seemed a little pretentious at that part. "I would NEVER use colors like this!" But like there's artists that use unexpected colors on purpose? He has some skills, I grant that, but reminds me of all the pompous assholes at my art school.
@@IMadeUpKear Damn, sorry I came off like that. I'm not that person (as I know my students will attest!) but I also know how, in the throes of making these videos, things slip by that sometimes could use a re-recording for tone.
Let me know what I could have said there that would have been better, and I'll take note!
@@IMadeUpKear i am definitely one of those painters you mentioned, that uses unexpected and saturated colors (while still paying attention to value). itd be interesting to see someone talk about how this can be done 'well' or otherwise, as i didnt realize this had such a stigma around it (and feel a little silly now tbh). noel badges pugh is a good example of unexpected colors and lots of saturation while drawing/painting from observation, one of my faves
@@marcobucci For me, not being invested and utterly unartistic, it did not come off pretentious.
Just a factual statement, perhaps even an admission of a limitation.
But that was how I understood it.
@@marcobucci he indirectly called you a pompous asshole for saying you wouldnt use colours like that cause that is so far out your normal process when painting and you are apologizing? he absolutely doesn't deserve any apologies, dude has a terrible attitude and your tone was perfectly fine, it didnt come off as pretentious to me at all!! it was a very fun experiment so dude can fuck off with his bad vibes
I did this in art class 13 years ago! We used a sodium lamp as our only light source, which made all of the paint gray-scale. It was so fun to take the covers off the windows at the end.
That sounds so cool!! I've been searching for a way to do this with traditional media for a while, was it really greyscale??
was it any sodium lamp? i am interested in trying this!
@@isabella-zx2dc I did some research and it's specifically a low pressure sodium lamp, they used to be used for street lamps.
@@terrifyingtyrannosaurusturtle thank you so much! im going to try and get my hands on one this week. have you tried it yourself?
@@isabella-zx2dc I haven't! I'd be super interested in hearing how your experience turned out!
the style of the paintings along with the non-standard 'human skin' colors makes these look a lot like Disco Elysium character portraits. really good!
Yeeeah! Feel the same!
i only have notifications for one channel and it’s this one. every single video’s a gem 😭
Couldn’t agree more

Xx_ D34DP00L_xX Thanks now I hate myself
You're welcome
My heart pumps blood. Emotions aren’t related to the cardiovascular system
This was an intensely satisfying emotional and visual experience
Watching this while high is the best decision I've ever made
That means a lot coming from you and your dark side of the moon profile pic 😎😃
@@Iyentra lol I just read your second comment 😂👌💯
@@pablochamber411 I highly recommend it lol
I later used this painting technique while sober. It turned out really cool 😄
Everytime Marco posts a new video it is like opening a present!
I tried something similar to this once, only I was painting with acrylics and was wearing deeply red shaded sunglasses from a flea market. Interesting result, but won't advise it though. My vision was green for hours after taking off the shades.
Wow that sounds interesting!
Ouch that sounds painful. Rest well brother
Why wearing red glasses make your vision green
@@hanhoang7883 Because the glasses are absorbing green light, their brain was searching extra hard for green. Human vision is not like photography, and our brains make lots of informed guesses about what we see. Once the glasses were off, their brain had to re-adjust to the return of green light.
This is somewhat analogous to how our pupils dilate (i.e, open and let in more light) when in the dark. We've adjusted to see more clearly in a low-light context, but when coming back to a well-lit context, the light can be overwhelming because your pupils are letting in much more than normal. Hope this helps!
Kleph oh thank you but is the glasses absorbing green because it’s the opposite of red? Why not other colors?
Remember: love with your heart, use your head for everything else
usually when i watch art videos i know some of what is being taught
but I always learn something new when I watch Marco's videos
Wth this is the coolest tutorial I've ever encountered XD
Another way to do this is to go into your graphics driver settings, and change the saturation to 0 or -100 so that your entire screen is monochrome.
This is better in my opinion, since you won't even know what color hue you'll be picking from either!
The thing is the values change with saturation and that will make the values flat and even instead of being changed by saturation
Yeah. My thoughts are similar
Thank youuu ♡♡
I am kinda relieved because I pride myself as a colorist. If it turns out all this time that I had the "easiest job," I would feel like I wasted time. I am glad that color choice is still important to evoking feelings and being part of a design. It is still an important choice to make.
These paintings kind of look like low light scenes. Where you can only see black and white and your brain struggles to fill in some colors.
The CZcams algorithm is crazy. I watched Captain D's video about colour with footage from this in it, kinda wanted to watch this video but didn't want to track it down, then hours later this is on my home page. Neat!
Jtzkb Ah, well that makes a ton of sense
Captain Disillusion sent me here. Awesome stuff!
This so cool! I really needed that exercise. I'm always so disappointed in my coloring, not because it's bad, just because it's dull, no matter how hard I try to get the values right, I get stuck in the colors I want to lay down and the feeling of the painting. This is such a good exercise, thanks man!
I had an art teacher who had us paint using only grey tones, then he would use a plastic color filter over the painting to show how the painting could look in full color. Not as interesting as using random colors, but it did illustrate the importance of value.
Kinda reminds me when I used to play with clay as a kid, I would sometimes mix different colored ones and they would go from looking like a rainbow to uglier dark tones. This is something in between.

im in need of a good critique.. my art sucks so but... i tried so hard but im not improving at all
Would never have seen this if not for Captain D. Super interesting video, even for someone who has the artistic ability of a toddler.
These look so much like the character portraits from disco elysium. I almost feel like they used this technique for those lol.
That's what I thought!
Came here from Captain Disillusion’s latest video in colours, excellent work!
Captain D sent me, even though he failed to provide a proper link in the description.😱
same
And yet you made it...as though the captain armed you with just enough information to let you sort it out on your own. Because he’s a great teacher!
@@russellmoore8187 you loved cd slash colors with your heart and used your head to find this video
@@thecpg980 This person gets it
You know, I always have a lot of anxiety when watching most art tutorial videos, I find it difficult to control my feelings/sensitivity, I have the terrible habit of putting myself down when I see good art from others and whenever other great artists say things like "doing this is wrong" or "stop doing that, it's not good" I feel devastated, sometimes to the point my whole day is ruined because my mind just keeps echoing that feeling, and that ends up eating away my motivation for art. But the way you express yourself through words is so much warmer, gentle in a way, that it doesn't cause me any anxiety at all, and instead it encourages me to keep going! I'm glad you're my favorite artist, because then I can listen more to your videos and try to keep away from the ones that cause me harm until I learn how to deal with my emotions.
Thank you, Marco ^_^
Thanks a lot!
i suffer from the same thing! it's sometimes so unbearable, but as long as you practice and improve from the day before i consider that a big accomplishment :)
Finally figured out the feeling I was getting from the painting at 6:32 is - it reminds me of the moiré effect when taking a picture of a screen of some kind. Very cool
as a colorblind person this was really really interesting to watch
8:09 i remember those characters! We watched that movie in class, it is a retelling of the nutcracker story and i love the designs and colors used in the movie! So happy to see that u worked on it!
Cool! It was a fun project :)
okay but that painting of the two women made my jaw drop oh my god
when i first started drawing (of course i started with anime lmao) i saw this one drawing that i thought was absolutely perfect. id think, “someday i’ll be able to draw that. one day.” and now i’m past that skill level. i can draw it! upon seeing your painting (and a few paintings from the rococo era) they’re my new inspirations. hopefully art school and self teaching won’t let me down 💕
I am struggling with color and this is exactly what I needed! Thank you Marco! Love your videos as always!
Thank you Captain D.
The ULTIMATE Guide to mastering color!! Period. 💯😎👌🏻
CD sent me here, now i must absorb this artistic knowledge
I'm here after watching Captain D's video on color. Great video!
Thanks for showing me this video Captain D.
This video just blew up my mind, this was exactly what a needed and didn't know until now. Thank you!!
Watch out! Here comes Ethan Becker! 🤣🤣
Your end results remind me of renaissance-like master paintings. They're all perfect imo. This is such an awesome exercise.I think it would be great to do as a warmup or even for full projects. Can't wait to try it~
Amazing. Just tried this out reallly fun. For ipad and tablet users you can on a new layer fill any grayscale value, then set the layer blend to colour. Then paint colour in a new layer beneath it.
I love it it's like putting different coloured strobe lights
Oh man, I strive to be able to wield colors and sculpt paintings in photoshop like Marco Bucci does!!💜 just awesome
Who else is here from Captain D?
Finally I found someone else
I expected to find more people here
Hahaha yep. So cool of him to tease a spoiler, it really incentivized me to pop over here and I'm glad I did this was really interesting.
I just had to see what it looked like without the filter... he really made me come here
Me. Had to search it manually, because he didn't have a link in the description lol
Im a total beginner, and this exercise feels like it's a whole new art style in itself. Great video! Now I have more interesting exercises I can do whenever I'm bored or looking to improve.
You can use colour modes in your OS too - I don't know any others, but on Windows you can press ctrl + Windows + C and it activates that mode. It can invert your colours, or in this case, you can set it to black and white. You don't have to touch anything other than that one keybind this way, and it sets things like the colour window to black and white too, which means you don't get to see what colour you're using unless you know what the colour wheel looks like by instinct. As it's an OS feature too, it makes no difference to your colour picking.
The Old man gave me the feeling like he's in an alley way in a down town with a lot of neon lights in signs etc, and the direct light comes from a shop window or something.
I quite like it personally.
I landed here from Captain Disillusion's recent video. I don't know much about art, but this was very interesting and exciting to watch!
Came here from Captain Disillusionment and I'm glad I did. Amazing work.
coming from captain d, nice video 👊😎
Great advice as usual.
If (in Photoshop) you go to View > Proof Setup > Custom and set it to Working Gray, then attribute a key shortcut to Proof Colors you will be able to toggle BW preview of your canvas without creating any layers. Color picker and brush will still see and paint color.
As someone who usually tries to tame the color in my pieces, I think I'll really benefit from this!
i cant believe i had skipped this video for so long! How could I miss this???
This helps so much!
I always feel overwhelmed by dealing with colorshifting, saturation, and value all at once. This feels like a great way to keep your values focused while still getting to play with color. Thanks Marco
Fascinating use of colour and value ...
At 6:03 you point out how the ears appear warmer than the rest of the face. Makes me think this would make for some nice album art on a smooth jazz record or something.
CD sent me here! Great video mate
This is so good, so illustrative of how value does most or all of the work!
Man, your brush strokes are to die for. I think those paintings would look awesome in oil paint.
Thanks! I come from an oil painting background, so your comment is on-point :)
The end products look like paintings in a museum :D
the last one looks like a dark elf i love it
hey for people who want to do this on ipads go to settings > accessibility> display& text size> turn on colour filters and pick greyscale :)
Unbelievable! Your ability to distill complex ideas into 11 power packed and entertaining minutes is astounding. Thank you.
In Krita are some hidden and rarely used functions, to which you could set a shortcuts to get more random tones and heterogeneous result: make_brush_color_lighter, make_brush_color_darker, make_brush_color_desaturated, make_brush_color_saturated, shift_brush_color_counter_clockwise, shift_brush_color_clockwise, make_brush_color_yellower, make_brush_color_bluer, make_brush_color_redder, make_brush_color_greener.
i am not sure if i can use this practicaly ,but i am happy i learn something new in this infinity world of visuals and sure stuff like that halps me to understand that i dont know anything . thanks , nice lesson like most of yours !
I JUST TRIED THIS OUT YESTERDAY AND OMG ITS SO FUNNNNNN. Thank you for the experiment😊😊💓💕💓
Thanks you Captain Disillusion for showing me this channel
Here from Captain dissilusion! Amazing stuff!
last painting was amazing
Cap sent me. Tho I was surprised to see I'd watched some of your Blender videos already. Algorithm is ahead of us again.
I had a similar experience as a kid when the C64 we had was hooked up to a B/W monitor, so I couldn't see what I was doing with the color until years later when we hooked up to a color TV. I wasn't as impressed with my work back then as I was with yours now.
Now I want to get some sort of black and white glasses and try this with colored pencils
you blew my mind !!!! fantastic !!!!
Captain D sent me! Amazing stuff dude
The Captain sent me!
Love with your heart; use you brain for everything else!
On an iPad you can add colourblind filters which might also be an interesting thing to experiment with
wtf you draw so beautifully!!! 😭😭 i LOVE your painterly style, and what you said about how color lends to the emotional part of a painting makes so much sense. great video!!!
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!
Thank you for being in my life
Thanks Captain D!
thanks for your video.. good job
I'm always squealing with joy when I see your video drop! Another amazing one-will be trying this exercise out for a long time to come. I'm sure it'll help me get over my fear of colour :)
This looks like brilliant fun and very educational! Hopefully some day I'll have the chance to play with digital art again and I'll definitely try this!
Came here from Captain Disillusions video on colors. This is great. Thanks Captain!
We love you Captain D!
thank you, SO. VERY. MUCH!
This just opened my eyes. I don't know if that was the goal you had in your mind. But it actually changed the way I will paint in the future. I always think: probably my colors are off. When it's probably the value
Me, who always draws in black and white: *Interesting*
I love you Marco Bucci..
You are my favourite virtual art teacher..
Thank you so much for these videos..
Learned about this experiment from a Captain Disillusion video. I like it; the clashing colors in the second image you reveal reminds me of artifacts you might see in poorly compressed video, where weirdly colored light kind of lingers and floats over areas where it shouldn't be.
Coming from the captain! Awsome job!
I'm coming from captain disillusion. Very well done!
Values are melody. Color is harmony.
IM def going to do this later, so fun!
Amazing. I can tell you put a lot of work into your craft.
Love the way you describe and analyze. Academic yet fluid.
This was a fun exercise for me... I created a custom brush to randomize my color per stroke, liked the resulting portrait... Definitely worth doing frequently
Thanks YT for this suggestion. I have no clue why (i watched some clips on general color topic from scientific point of view recently) but I'll take it.
You are such an inspiration. It's almost surreal how after watching your videos my digital paintings improve little by little just because now I make more contious choices
I don't need to watch the rest of your channel, I subscribed before the end of your video. Thank you.
YOU AMAZING HUMAN BEING!!! What a way to show values!! Thank you so much!
