HhhhhrrrrrrghhghhHHHHHRHRGRGRHGHHHHHHHHH I&'m NOT INTERESTED in another "beginner's guide to colour theory ^_^" type video THAT JUST REPEATS THE SAME INFORMATION AS LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE VIDEO ON THIS TOPIC EVER. I& swear every single art channel out there wants to cash in on that sweet beginner tutorial viewership by making YET ANOTHER COLOUR THEORY VIDEO that tells me& NOTHING!!!! FLYSHIT!!!!!!! It's always:

Colour wheel exists

Colour combinations like complimentary/triad/etc

If they're feeling fancy they'll tell you to use cool shadows and warm lights

If they're feeling REALLY fancy shmancy they'll explain the 60/30/10 principle

And THAT'S IT. AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT'S EXPLAINED IN "BEGINNER" COLOUR THEORY AND "ADVANCED" COLOUR THEORY. IT'S ALL THE SAME FUCKING YOUTUBE SLOP!!!!!!!! I&'M SICK OF IT!!!!!!!! I&'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!!

#ok luiger #sorry I&'m fucking tired #I&'m genuinely interested in colour theory and want to learn more but this is not it #I&'m honestly shocked that it feels like no one else is calling out the absolute slop that this whole genre of videos is #like ok sure it's like. a pretty wide topic. it feels silly to complain that there's a lot of videos on the topic of colour #but it feels like all of these videos are just gathering it from other videos and they're very poorly researched #if you're an art channel even if you're a digital artist you should explain chiaroscuro.#you should explain underpainting. you should explain some basic terminology that people confuse all the time re: tint/shade/tone #and if you're bringing up the colour wheel you should DEFINITELY explain that there are MANY DIFFERENT WAYS to arrange a colour wheel #and I&'m not even talking about the rgb vs cmyk vs rgy primary colour differences #I&'m talking specifically that there is no point talking about colours being opposite from each other on the colour wheel #if the wheel itself differs this wildly depending on what the arrangement is based on #what's the point if the opposite of red could be either green or blue depending on the scenario!!!!!!!#I&'m fucking pissed is all. I&'d make my& own tutorial or knowledge compendium or whatever #but it's been something I&'ve been picking up new knowledge bits about here and there for years now #and it'll likely take years more before I& can confidently try organizing these thoughts and putting them together #in the meantime. I&'m going to seethe and piss myself& every time another one of these videos gets reccomended to me& by youtube.
