Man..Jessie is such an amazing teacher. The format of these classes is so fun, detailed and informative and just a really great and easy pace that I feel works for a lot of people. Following along is a big plus to these classes for me!
Every time I watch one of these videos, my motivation just goes through the roof
And I ACTUALLY draw.
I learn.
I learn more from these 10-20 minutes videos than an entire year in art class :’D
Yes! Me too!
And that motivation goes off after you start to draw.

Same
BRO ME TOO?! I HAD NO IDEA THERE WERE DIFFERENT COLORS WHEELS
a quick note: the terminator is different from the core. the terminator simply refers to the line between the shadow and not shadow area. immediately after the terminator is the core shadow, the darkest part of the shadowed area. some people include the subsurface scattering in this area and use the term terminator interchangeably. it's important to know how it's different from other parts of the shadow because this is where you'll be deciding whether the edge is soft or hard, and also where texture will be most obvious
i love just talking about what i learn on this channel to my parents and i sound like a literal genius 🤣🤣🤣
Congrats! You’re learning
This'll be so helpful im drawing something for someone and have always struggled with proper rendering
I just started getting this channel in my recommendations, and I've learned more art stuff in the last 24 hours than the last 20 years of my life!
THIS IS SOOO COOL!!
I sent this to all of my friends XD this is sooo awesome!!!
why do i feel the need to take notes 😭
Take all the notes you need! Glad you've found it valuable enough to share with friends!!
@@Wingedcanvas UPDATE: i took a full page of notes XD thank you for the video, it was awesome!!
You can also grab our past live stream class notes in our Discord if you're interested.@@Csklfjaoiwefhlksd discord.gg/wingedcanvas
So my friend sent me this video when I was lamenting about not understanding the basics of colour theory and lighting well enough to do it properly. After watching this I went back and re-did the lighting on a piece I had just done less than a week before... And ooooh my goodness, I truly leveled up.
Jessie did such a good job explaining this in a way I could wrap my brain around - Thank you so much!
These lessons are so good that my art teacher uses them to teach us. I’m not kidding
Wow!
I love the uniqueness to this tutorial!
I've seen so many shading guides that mostly just boil down to shapes and light direction but almost none of them ever describe shadow behavior or the logic behind them.
Thanks a bunch for this! I know it's still gonna take loads of practice for me to improve but I feel like a good chunk of guess-work in my shading process may finally have been reduced thanks to you ^_^
The light color actually doesn't affect the shadow color, items under yellow lighting only seem to have blue shadows because the shadow is cooler in comparison to the areas colored by the light
I’ve been learning so many art skills from you, it’s insane. I’m so glad I found your channel!
I can't wait to learn this!!
This feels like a lot to take in, and I become overwhelmed... Ahhh but im trying
You got this, one step at a time! If you need help/advice/critique, we have a Discord with an awesome community discord.gg/wingedcanvas
I’m so excited!
This is so cool!! I love how these videos are interesting enough to just watch for the fun of it, but are also really informative as well.
Makes me want to stay up past my bedtime learning about art! 😁🤩
that was so helpful and amazing! I've been struggling with lighting lately so this was perfect!
Learning about bounce light helped me sm
YES! I've always been good with sketching and lineart and such but cheating always gets me.
I hope I can make it to the stream!
Great stuff! I shall use this strategy one day!
This is so helpful. I’ve been looking for a video like this for ages.
Thanks for this video!
💓We hope you enjoyed this video!

i like this channel because i learn two things at the same time, art ando english
Now i want jello
You'll also see bounce light called reflected light. Similar concept.
Whoa I learned a lot about light and shadows, thank you for sharing this info. o.o I never knew shadow was like that, when you mentioned the artist shading like that for example like the robot.. I felt that... Btw ironically the skin at the end I know this is just how it is, but it ironic cause those are the colors I grabbed for a character that I'm designing, not for shading but for colors. That's a small world right there.
Biiiiig question:
So I decided to put the info of this video into a drawing of mine and a question popped up regarding the "how color affects shadows" segment. How does the color of the shadow influence the shadow on the the object casting the shadow? Using the yellow light casting a blue light at 1:01 as an example, what if the wire casting the shadow was a rich shade of red? (assuming that the wire is not close enough to the wall to be affected by bounce light), Would the blue shadow color cause the shadow on the wire itself to mix with the red and turn into a shade of magenta? Or would the shadow on the wire not be affected by the opposite shadow color and be a dark shade of red?
Hi winged canvas I was wondering if you could do a how to draw a character from a side view video because I'm struggling to draw my characters from a side view so I would love to see how you do it
Random question but do you know what I should do fora all red jester outfit? The tails of the red hat are hanging on the red outfit. Is there a way to make the hat pop out so it doesn't blend in with the red jester outfit?
I'm no pro, but maybe try messing around with some complimentary colors
@@PeppermintPumpki I did, its red and purple, but the red of the tail of the hat is still touching a red area.
maybe add a pattern to the hat in a new color or a lighter/darker version of the red that the outfit dosent have, or vice versa? or both give them patterns, but different ones?
i like to think of shadow and light as two creatures trying to find each other,
light is looking for shadow, and shadow is trying to run away.
so whenever there's light nearby, shadow is in the direction away from light (in most cases)
its like two ghosts that can take on any form depending on their surroundings.
its just a fun way i see it as.
Apart from looping certain areas, is there a way to shade without it overlapping into other areas?
Niicee
the forgot to mention: the form and texture the light is reflected on. tho the form is somewhat explained in the proximity. i get why they didn't cuz it adds more a couple more topics like form, anatomy and rendering. but i think it's still relevant.
Absolutely love the video, been working on my own shading so this is coming in clutch. But there’s something about the bounce light I don’t understand. What I don’t understand is at 8:20 with the bounce light. How does light bounce off of a shirts when cloth isn’t reflective?
So basically, anything that is visible is reflective, because that's what's happening in vision itself: the light that's not absorbed by the material is reflected back to us, if that weren't the case we wouldn't see anything there. What changes between the surface of a chrome object and that of a woollen jumper is how large the reflective surface is and the direction it's facing.
Essentially, a chrome sphere or smooth glass plane is a single reflective surface, while a t-shirt has miriads of very small surfaces that, because of the weave of the fibers, don't all face in the same direction.
It's what happens with cloudy skies also, the clouds give a softer light that has way less harsh shadows than a clear sky because the tiny water particles function as very small lenses that distort the reflection of the light, creating light refraction.
@@CrescentMond ohhhHHHH ok I gotcha! Thanks!!! ‘Preciate you helping me out here :))))
Hi, what about the comic “Say hello, greyson!”? Will it ever come back ?
0:24 should you not change the hue of an objects shadows or light if the lightsource is plain white then?
May i ask, Can Anyone Tell me What's The art style on 8:15?
sleep so I can't be in the stream 😅
I did not realize that there is actually a structure to shading
Can someone tell me how to get my paint palette back on medibang paint pro cuz I accidentally deleted it
what if there is no light source
Then I’m pretty sure there would be no image. There always has to be a light source. If there isn’t, the page would just be pitch black :)
Cool 27 hours
Being colorblind does not make lighting easy 😂
