All language subtitles for 10. About The Three Elements Of Color

Hello. Thank you for watching.

Now, I would like to review the previous video briefly.

In the previous video, I talked about the theory of the body.

I explained the proportion of adult men and women and the difference in the body shape by men and women.

And I also talked about the difference between men and women in how the bones are made.

Next, I explained the movement of the joints and the range of motion of the body.

I also explained the difference between men and women in how to separate the hands.

I also explained the structure of the legs.

I also talked about the position of the ankle.

And finally, I talked about the process of incorporating them into the deformed character.

From this section 4, I will talk about color.

First of all, I will talk about the three elements of color.

First of all, please look at this.

It is called the sense of color.

When drawing a picture, it is important to have an understanding of what color is, how to make the color, and how to use the color most effectively.

This color is sometimes called a color circle, but it consists of three primary colors, red, blue, and green.

If you mix blue and red, it becomes purple.

If you mix yellow and red, it becomes orange.

This green, purple, and orange is called the sense of color.

And if you mix this sense of color and the primary color right next to it, it becomes yellow-green, blue-green, blue-purple, red-purple, red-orange, and yellow-orange.

And the colors that are next to each other in this color cycle are called the secondary colors.

In addition, the colors that meet each other, such as red-purple and yellow-green, are called complementary colors.

What is color?

It is the sensation of a different wavelength of light wave entering the eye and appearing.

The light wave is called the wave of light.

We can see things because we have a delicate and complex sensory organ called the eye, nerve, and brain.

As the ear receives the sound wave and converts it into a sense of sound, the eye receives the light and converts it into a sense.

All things with color contain a pigment, and this pigment absorbs a specific light wave and has the property to reflect other light waves.

For example, there is an apple here.

The pigment on the skin of the red apple reflects only the red light and absorbs all other light waves.

As you can see, there are various colors in the light.

The red pigment of the apple is this red light wave.

This pigment only reflects around the apple.

So it can be seen by our eyes.

All other colors are absorbed.

As it does not enter the eyes, it can be seen only by red.

Color is a very unique and variable material.

I think it will be useful if you know the basic principles of how to use colors that I will talk about in the future.

In 1866, a scientist named Helmholtz discovered that each color had three different features or elements.

These are the three elements of color.

Color, brightness, saturation.

And you have to know the difference between color, brightness, and saturation to control it.

First, let's take a look at the color layer.

The color layer is a name that distinguishes colors such as red, blue, and green.

The important properties are saturation and saturation.

The yellow, orange, and red sides of the color layer are around here.

This is saturation.

The green, blue, and purple sides are categorized as saturation.

Each color layer has a change in saturation.

If you look at this diagram, there are four colors.

The left side is red, blue, green, and purple.

The right side is red, blue, green, and purple.

This means that the colors around here are mixed.

Next, let's look at the brightness.

This represents the brightness and darkness of the color.

For example, deep blue has a dark brightness.

If you add white to this, it becomes light blue and the brightness becomes brighter.

If you add red to this, it becomes dark like this.

Let's look at this illustration.

I'm going to change the brightness of this illustration and compare it.

The top is a normal illustration, and let's change the brightness only at the bottom.

The side is the same, and the impression changes like this due to the change in brightness.

This high brightness looks fun compared to the dark brightness.

Brightness represents mood.

And finally, let's look at saturation.

Saturation refers to the intensity of the color, that is, the concentration or purity of the color.

The pure green of the highest saturation looks more vivid than the green with gray and other colors.

As you can see in this figure, the brightness is the same, but the saturation is different, so it changes like this.

Let's compare this with an illustration.

Here's another apple.

And there's another apple.

Let's lower the saturation of this apple.

Then, it looks the same, but the saturation of the big apple is higher, so it looks like it's coming out in front.

I think the lower saturation looks like it's changing.

In this way, you can use it to increase the degree of distance and make what you want to stand out higher.

That was the explanation of the three elements of color.

Next, I'd like to talk about how colors affect each other.

If you put a certain color in a picture, that color is determined and affected by the surrounding color.

For example, I put an edge here.

I put an edge like this to make it easier to understand.

There's a ball here.

I'll put a shadow on this ball like this.

It looks like a pretty dark shadow, doesn't it?

But if you put a low-light desk like this,

The shadow that looked very dark until a while ago doesn't look so dark.

As you can see, as you draw the whole screen, it often looks appropriate.

The illusion that the brightness changes is something you need to be careful about when drawing,

but the hue and saturation are also affected by the color next to it.

I'll turn it off.

It's this color.

Depending on the surrounding color, it looks warm or cold.

This is the effect of the colors next to each other.

Let's move on.

Please look at this picture.

This is a picture that shows how the brightness changes affect each other.

The yellow squares are all the same color,

but the yellow for white looks darker than the yellow for black.

And when using gray, the same illusion occurs,

but the gray for black is bright and the gray for white is dark.

If you understand these principles, it will be useful when emphasizing or weakening a part of the screen.

Let's look at another example.

I filled it in with white, and now I'm creeping the layer,

but by creeping it, it doesn't fit like this.

Copy it, add another one,

turn the background yellow,

and fill it in with green.

Then, these two people are drawn in exactly the same red,

but I think this person is brighter than the yellow one.

In this way, the colors affect each other.

I'd like to talk about the colors that change under the conditions of light.

Any color of the object is determined by three elements.

They are the color of the object, the color of the light that illuminates the object,

and the color of the surface that reflects the light towards the object.

Please look at this figure.

The upper figure here is the light source,

and it is a cube that is exposed to light from this point.

And the lower figure is the state when the cube is placed on top of the surface that reflects the light.

In this case, I'd like you to pay attention to this,

but only the right side of the shadow is reflected by this board.

This light is reflected like this.

By doing this, it gets a little brighter.

This figure is an explanation of the effect of the food light on color.

These are all illuminated by pure white light,

illuminating the true color of the object.

Each cube has a slightly different color on each side.

This side, where the light is not strongly affected by the shadow,

represents the darkest color.

Now, let's see what happens when this light source becomes yellow light.

To reflect this yellow light source, I use a layer called Hard Light.

I set the opacity to about 30%.

I'll take this yellow color with a dropper,

and use the Spray Tool to reproduce the state in which the yellow color is applied.

Select a place where the light hits with the Automatic Selection Tool,

and make sure it doesn't protrude.

The light is hitting.

It's like this.

At this light source angle, only the top side is affected by the light,

so only this side is changing color.

If you compare the top and bottom of the cube,

the side illuminated by the yellow light looks warmer than the side illuminated by the white light.

And this yellow light doesn't hit the right side, the shadow,

so there is no change in color.

Next,

let's look at the effect of the reflected light on the color.

There are four identical red cubes.

And red, yellow, blue, and gray reflectors are drawn below.

Each cube receives white light directly.

Now, I'd like to draw how the reflected light affects this cube.

I'll use the Hard Light Layer as I explained earlier.

Set the opacity to 30%.

And this time,

the only place where the reflected light is reflected is on this side.

So, I'll select it like this with the Selection Tool so that it doesn't protrude.

This color is a spot.

I reproduced the reflection like this.

The top side, which is not affected by the reflected light, and the left side are exactly the same,

but the shadow side changes like this due to the effect of the reflected light's color.

The red reflected light increases the brightness of the red light further,

and the yellow reflected light gives the shadow side an orange tone.

The blue reflected light is purplish,

and the gray reflected light does not change the color.

This is because gray is colorless.

These principles apply to both human skin, cloth, buildings, and natural objects.

Finally, I'd like to talk about the difference between a new color and an alternate color.

Colors have a color that looks like it's coming forward and a color that looks like it's alternating.

With this knowledge, you can enhance or suppress depth.

I'd like to draw a little bit about that.

There's the ground.

And the grassland is spread out like this.

There's a rocky mountain, and there's a field further back.

I'm going to draw a mountain so that it looks like it's farther away.

The sky is getting thinner.

It looks like this.

The blue sky and the blue mountains in the back look far away,

and the brown land and the mountains in the front look like they're in front of you.

In this way, red, orange, yellow, and other warm colors give you the impression that they come to you more than blue, green, purple, etc.

Also, as the color goes farther away, the degree of perception increases,

and it becomes brighter and grayer, and the saturation is lost.

This phenomenon is caused by the atmosphere separating our eyes from the object.

Using this color change to create a sense of distance is called airborne.

So, that's it for the explanation of the three elements of color in Section 4.

Color is also an important element that changes the impression greatly with a slight change,

so I hope you remember this principle well and use it in your illustration.

Next time, I'll explain the psychological effect of color.

Thank you for watching until the end.

See you next time.
