1. I wanna more, plsss
   This is so easy to understand!! Thanks for this video, like.. for real, it saved me hahah

2. This NEEDS to blow up!!! I've been trying to learn color theory for a few years and NOTHING has made sense the way did this. This is SO SO important for every single artist out there!!! Thanks so much for creating this amazing explanation!!! You deserve the absolute best, you just saved my art!!! <3 thanks so much!

3. when you put it that way it makes it more digestible.

4. Hi Kurt. I've been watching your videos and streams for some time now, and have really enjoyed learning from you. This is roughly my 4th or 5th time watching this video, but I'm writing this comment as a response to your Vampirella stream. During the stream, you mentioned that Caveman Color Theory wasn't quite getting the response you expected (I'm paraphrasing, there was more nuance to your comments) In essence, you seemed to be disappointed that your message or point wasn't conveyed clearly enough. I respectfully disagree. I have found a lot of value (no pun intended) in ALL your videos, but Caveman Cave Theory tends to be something I keep revisiting. It all makes sense, but I think the main issue I have is that the theory is solid. I understand what I should be looking for in the final composition, but if I was coloring that piece, I'm not sure that would have occurred to me. A green sky at first thought seems illogical–the sky is blue! But there's no doubt your choices work. So how do I learn to think outside the box like that when I'm in the moment and making those choices? This series is great, and your Caveman Color Theory is slowing teaching me to get outside that box and seek out more interesting color compositions. 

   So thank you- if nothing else, I guess I'm just trying to encourage you to come back to this series and let me pick your brain some more! LOL

5. Oh my, please make more of this! It's really helpful!!

6. more like this please!! SERIOUSLY you took thre stuff people say to know and ACTUALLY put them into context of how they are used which is infinately more useful

7. this is very useful. I think that this basic color theory course is actually a thing for me. Thank you.

8. This clicked with me like no other tutorial on color has. Thank you so much please make more cuz I think we may think in the same wavelength. This was perfect

9. This is probably the best video I've ever seen on this subject, thank you Kurt!

10. I feel like the title of this should be something like Choosing colors based on focal points. I find this a very nice analytical breakdown for if you want to use focus as the basis for color choices. A few of my favorite artists don't hardly do this at all though, or it's obviously not why they have chosen their colors. Even though it can be found in lots of art, it seems much more a priority for your industry.

11. I loved the video!!! How Did you isolate the HUES on the cover that you painted? It looked like a very interesting study

12. Your video's help a lot. Thank you for taking the time to teach and doing it in a simple way that is easy to understand. I do hope you continue to do more vids like these.

13. Giving away trade secrets — not a bad thing.

14. the thing about picking colors is that i don’t know how to shade red w/o using a darker red, you know ? or when shading white im always inclined to use grey, it looks so muddy and I just don’t know how in the world to chose colors that look good. pls this video didn’t explain how to pick colors at all. i understand that whatever’s brightest will stand out that’s not helping me w/ choosing cohesive colors 🙁

15. Brilliant! Thank you so much Kurt. I’ve been drawing and painting for 50 years, and I’ve never heard or seen these concepts explained so concisely and easy to understand. Bravo!

16. I came across you first when I was deployed in 13.. your simple color tutorial( this it was a Wolverine pic) got me hooked…. but the spikes and picture example of contrast just nailed it for me, thank you for what you do sir

17. Pretty cool. Helpful stuff!

18. Keep em coming Kurt!!!

19. Hi Kurt, are you on a PC or a Mac with Clip Studio?

20. This is very, very helpful.

21. This makes so much sense, thank you… I'm looking forward for more…

22. This video was great, I really loive it!
