1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,999
Let's talk about use of mattes and colors in your work.
2
00:00:05,002 --> 00:00:08,999
Now, most of the time I'm using grey colors, the same Josh.
3
00:00:09,002 --> 00:00:11,999
We just like simple coloring, simple toning.
4
00:00:12,002 --> 00:00:14,999
I think also black and white and grayscale is very elegant.
5
00:00:15,002 --> 00:00:17,999
You know, occasionally I do use color, like for example in here, right?
6
00:00:18,002 --> 00:00:22,999
Now, when you use color in your work, you need to use it very, very, very consciously, ok?
7
00:00:23,002 --> 00:00:27,999
Colors are very strong visual pulls, especially warm colors.
8
00:00:28,002 --> 00:00:31,999
So when you're gonna be using them, you need to know how to do it, ok?
9
00:00:32,002 --> 00:00:36,999
So, for example, if you're gonna take, you know, this model we created.
10
00:00:37,002 --> 00:00:41,999
If everything is grey, including the background, but for example we're going to change
11
00:00:42,002 --> 00:00:44,999
the color of this decal to something really warm, like this, right?
12
00:00:45,002 --> 00:00:47,999
And I'm gonna increase the lighting here to something strong.
13
00:00:48,002 --> 00:00:50,999
This is gonna create an incredibly strong visual pull.
14
00:00:51,002 --> 00:00:55,999
Because it's a warm color, the only warm color in the entire scene.
15
00:00:56,002 --> 00:00:58,999
And it's gonna be very, very visible, ok?
16
00:00:59,002 --> 00:01:02,061
So when you use colors, whether on your decals or materials, you need to be very careful.

We compress knowledge for you!
18
00:01:04,284 --> 00:01:07,999
Same in here, guys. If I change this, for example, to something crazy, right?
19
00:01:08,002 --> 00:01:09,999
I mean, look how strong this is.
20
00:01:10,002 --> 00:01:12,999
I'm not saying this is wrong and you shouldn't do that.
21
00:01:13,002 --> 00:01:17,999
But when you do that, you need to make sure that the rest of the image fits, right?
22
00:01:18,002 --> 00:01:19,999
So it's balanced, ok?
23
00:01:20,002 --> 00:01:24,999
So, for example, this very strong white would go pretty well with a really dark black, ok?
24
00:01:25,002 --> 00:01:26,999
So, you know, that looks a bit better now.
25
00:01:27,002 --> 00:01:30,999
So, what I'm saying is, you can do that, but when you do that, you make sure
26
00:01:31,002 --> 00:01:35,999
that the distribution of color in your work is following the rules very closely.
27
00:01:36,002 --> 00:01:37,999
So, for example, 70-30.
28
00:01:38,002 --> 00:01:41,999
Another way you can go about it is to create colorful matte on tiny elements, ok?
29
00:01:42,002 --> 00:01:48,999
For example, if I grab these two elements and, you know, change color on these, right?
30
00:01:49,002 --> 00:01:50,999
So, did something like that.
31
00:01:51,002 --> 00:01:54,999
This is gonna be an extremely powerful color pull.
32
00:01:55,002 --> 00:01:59,999
You'll literally look in here, nowhere else, because this is so saturated and so strong
33
00:02:00,002 --> 00:02:02,999
that it will pull the entire attention.
34
00:02:03,002 --> 00:02:05,999
Also, it's on the, you know, on the main feature of the object
35
00:02:06,002 --> 00:02:08,999
and it's really kind of surrounded with contrast.
36
00:02:09,002 --> 00:02:11,999
So, when you look here, you're locked forever, ok?
37
00:02:12,002 --> 00:02:12,999
So, don't do that.
38
00:02:13,002 --> 00:02:17,999
So, if you do something like this, you need to off-balance that color somewhere else.
39
00:02:18,002 --> 00:02:20,999
You're gonna be pulled away from this area, ok?
40
00:02:21,002 --> 00:02:23,999
Let's grab this one, for example, ok?
41
00:02:24,002 --> 00:02:28,999
So, you see that I use lights in here, the warm lights, but look how I place them
42
00:02:29,002 --> 00:02:29,999
and how small they are.
43
00:02:30,002 --> 00:02:34,999
This one is quite strong, agreed, but this one is stronger, right?
44
00:02:35,002 --> 00:02:36,999
Plus, it's surrounded by warm lights.
45
00:02:37,002 --> 00:02:39,999
So, you're gonna be pulled in here for two reasons.
46
00:02:40,002 --> 00:02:42,999
Strength of the light and the text here.
47
00:02:43,002 --> 00:02:46,999
So, there's a group of detail here, clustered, they're gonna pull you, right?
48
00:02:47,002 --> 00:02:49,999
Also, there's a tiny light in here too.
49
00:02:50,002 --> 00:02:51,999
But then you're gonna travel in here because it's a warm light
50
00:02:52,002 --> 00:02:54,999
and you're gonna be pulled to warm elements and then to the top
51
00:02:55,002 --> 00:02:56,999
and to the right and to the human.
52
00:02:57,002 --> 00:03:01,999
So, you're literally forced to circulate in the entire image, right?
53
00:03:02,002 --> 00:03:05,999
And I did that with colors, tiny ones, right, tiny lights.
54
00:03:06,002 --> 00:03:07,999
And the rest is gray and bluish.
55
00:03:08,002 --> 00:03:11,999
So, this bluish color kind of complements the warm color here
56
00:03:12,002 --> 00:03:15,999
and, you know, and so does her costume, her jacket, right?
57
00:03:16,002 --> 00:03:20,999
You know, the use of colors, use of toning, everything is important.
58
00:03:21,002 --> 00:03:24,999
So, when you wanna use colors in your work, it's fine,
59
00:03:25,002 --> 00:03:28,999
but remember that you need to place them in specific locations
60
00:03:29,002 --> 00:03:31,999
so they kind of off-balance one another, right?
61
00:03:32,002 --> 00:03:34,999
So, you know, if you're gonna do something like this, that's a very bad idea.
62
00:03:35,002 --> 00:03:36,999
Let me show you something interesting here, okay?
63
00:03:37,002 --> 00:03:38,999
So, I'm gonna go here to Depth of Field
64
00:03:39,002 --> 00:03:43,999
and I'm going to go out of focus here and watch.
65
00:03:44,002 --> 00:03:44,999
Everything is blurry, right?
66
00:03:45,002 --> 00:03:49,999
Look how strong these colorful points are, okay?
67
00:03:50,002 --> 00:03:52,999
This is clearly the major focus, right?
68
00:03:53,002 --> 00:03:54,999
Then you can see these.
69
00:03:55,002 --> 00:03:58,999
So, you do have communication here, but this is just too strong.
70
00:03:59,002 --> 00:04:01,999
So, what we need to do is gonna tone it down, you know?
71
00:04:02,002 --> 00:04:02,999
See what I mean?
72
00:04:03,002 --> 00:04:05,999
We need to tone it down so it kind of, you know,
73
00:04:06,002 --> 00:04:10,999
sort of blends better with the environment.
74
00:04:11,002 --> 00:04:13,999
So, now I'm gonna turn off this Depth of Field, right?
75
00:04:14,002 --> 00:04:15,999
Now you can see the image is much more balanced
76
00:04:16,002 --> 00:04:18,999
because you are pulled here, alright,
77
00:04:19,002 --> 00:04:20,999
but you are balanced with these two.
78
00:04:21,002 --> 00:04:24,999
So, you have this triangle of attention and that is fine, okay?
79
00:04:25,002 --> 00:04:28,999
So, you have to be very, very careful when you're using mattes
80
00:04:29,002 --> 00:04:30,999
and when you're using colors, you need to use it consciously.
81
00:04:31,002 --> 00:04:32,999
So, my advice to you is very simple.
82
00:04:33,002 --> 00:04:37,999
Study the 70-30 rule and also study the design and detailing, okay?
83
00:04:38,002 --> 00:04:40,999
When you're adding colors to very tiny details,
84
00:04:41,002 --> 00:04:42,999
do it sporadically, okay?
85
00:04:43,002 --> 00:04:45,999
Not all over the place and you really need to pay attention
86
00:04:46,002 --> 00:04:46,999
where you place them, right?
87
00:04:47,002 --> 00:04:48,999
And when you wanna use saturated color,
88
00:04:49,002 --> 00:04:49,999
make sure you know what you're doing.
89
00:04:50,002 --> 00:04:51,999
So, you know, if you wanna use it, for example,
90
00:04:52,002 --> 00:04:55,999
on a very large piece like here, that is fine,
91
00:04:56,002 --> 00:05:00,999
but, you know, make sure that there is enough of this color in the image
92
00:05:01,002 --> 00:05:04,999
to guide the eye through the entire image, okay?
93
00:05:05,002 --> 00:05:05,999
Do you see what I mean?
94
00:05:06,002 --> 00:05:08,999
And also, make sure that colors are complementary.
95
00:05:09,002 --> 00:05:13,999
You can go online and Google complementary color palette.
96
00:05:14,002 --> 00:05:16,999
You can literally grab hex from here, right?
97
00:05:17,002 --> 00:05:18,999
Like this.
98
00:05:19,002 --> 00:05:22,999
Paste it in the complementary color finder
99
00:05:23,002 --> 00:05:24,999
and find complementary hex colors
100
00:05:25,002 --> 00:05:27,999
and then copy-paste them to other elements.
101
00:05:28,002 --> 00:05:31,999
So, you will ensure that your colors in your image are complementary, okay?
102
00:05:32,002 --> 00:05:33,999
Alright guys, well, that's it on the mattes and colors.
103
00:05:34,002 --> 00:05:36,000
Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one.
