I'm honestly really surprised this video doesn't have more attention. I watched several videos before this one and this is what I was looking for. Not only were you informative and concise, you gave excellent examples as well as include practical tips (such as blending the color you want with the background, or using the overlay feature to give the overall picture a specific color tone). Thank you so so much for this super helpful video!!

This video is a goldmine. And you said it's your first tutorial?! Girl, god sent you to show us the path. Only critic that can come up with is the pace but, may be that's just me.

This has got to be the best simplified color theory video that actually teaches you how to use color theory principles in your actual work. Thank you!

7:11 omg this is crazy useful for changing the lighting quickly. Thank you so much, I barely paid attention to the overlay feature in the past!

This was so helpful!! I'm sure my artworks will be ten times better as well as my color pallets! 🥰❤️

Wonderful tutorial! 😊 Seems perfect for beginners and a good review for those of us who have been making art for a while. I think I will try the Pinterest trick to narrow down my current color palette preferences. Great tip! [Also, your art is lovely 😍]

I really struggle with choosing colour for my works when I draw digitally. I've watched a lot of colour choosing tutorials and this one is the best by far.
Your tips are very interesting, especially the colour blending tip, I'll definitely try them.
