1. That's a nice musical juicebox you have there

2. Revisiting this and it helps sm still!!

3. The entire first 13 seconds were art puns. I loved it. XD

4. “I tricked you into learning”
   top 10 pranks that went way too far

5. Alright. I knew this video was going to be good, but as soon as you threw out the animal crossing music and references, IT'S AMAZING LOL. Thank you for this whole video!

6. "… gray area … "

7. i came back because of the new toucan sam and its rly bad colors

8. 8:25 Oh shoot! I’ve already done this a few times without knowing! Mainly when trying to find the right shade I want. But I did do this when I was trying to show the character was in water.

9. Very educational and well described. I've heard many of the tips before, but not the explanation for why they exist. That's both interesting and useful.

10. surprised at how useful this video was even after watching every single other "basics of colour theory" video out there – I love the explanations and suggestions of how to actually utilise all this knowledge, thank you! (same goes for your other videos to be honest, thank you doing this for all of us!!)

11. Ok what. I've seen like 20 different videos on color theory and NONE of those stuck with me cause they were either lame or didn't provide good explainations along with the right "rules".

    This is actually the first one I've seen EVER which gives clear guidelines, shows why they are important and what happens if you violate them, along with giving a few tips on how to follow the guidelines easily.

    Thanks!

12. What if a character is supposed to be subtle and blend in with the environment?

13. Person with too many splatoon characters here, lets see what I can learn to help with my squidkids and octolads
    I have learned and now I know I will try to keep my Eyecolor and Ink color the highest in saturation and value in comparison to other things
    Earned color is a bit confusing but I understand I think

    thank you for making this video and the melodica preference at the end

14. What if I'm trying to color a character where they wear a uniform that only uses one color? For example, one character wears a uniform that has to be all green. How do I apply these rules if I can really only use one hue?

    And what if the character I'm designing wears a uniform that's mostly a low-value gray? How do I apply color theory to that?

15. This was awesome. Thanks for explaining this. This is something I always struggle with and dread doing but this has me excited since now there is some logic to it. Now it feels like it can be a useful tool to further express my art 😀

16. The word play is strong in this one ^^

17. 0:17 when the music started playing in the background i lowkey thought one of the 6 other design forge videos i had paused started playing

18. Bruh i am tired of red orange yellow green blue purple pink when are some new colors coming out i seen them all

19. oh wow.
    i kinda did some of these things already, without knowing any of this.

20. Very Well explained! This is one the simplest yet detailed explanation of color theory. Thanks for the lesson

21. God those puns at the start

22. Where can I buy a lantern like that one in the background?

23. How do you always know what I need to improve on!? YOU’RE A MIND READER

24. Great tips! I figured out the red/blue hue shift on my own just a few months ago, which is a little sad because I've been drawing for…ten or eleven years?. I wish I had motivation to draw more, digital coloring is fun. Of course, it doesn't help that my drawing tablet is having issues…

25. Awesome video Brooks – also nice outro and Intro! 🙂

26. Can you do a video on how to plan environments for backgrounds and to keep it cohesive

27. The melodica returns

28. Thank youuuuu 🌺🌺💗🌺🌺

29. Oh I'm so glad the overlay/opacity trick is something that's legitimately helpful to people and not just my own personal way I cheated around actual colour theory, pfft

30. I love the video, but the music was way too distracting 😅. Also i learned to use more saturation + darken the color for darker colors and do the opposite for lighter colors. I always use HSB to pick my colors, also in design.

31. Huh. Colour theory has long been one of my weak points but recently I've been working on it a lot. I think I still need to work on my palette harmony, but I've been focusing a lot on toning down my hues for good results. I have also been eye dropping my old designs, but then I've been adjusting them to see if I can improve them. I heard a lot of this in the one year program I took, but some of it was new, like the idea of reversing the composition values in a night scene. Hoping to improve my colour use a lot, to make my characters more striking!

32. Just started making new palettes for a new design then this came out

33. Great video as always Brookes! You went all out with the puns on this one. Can’t get enough! 🙂

    Another great tip for anyone working digitally is to make multiple copies of your designs (characters, objects, etc), and try out different color combinations to compare them side by side. You’ll be surprised with what amazing color sets you can discover even by doing just a few iterations. This will also speed up your practice experimenting with color.

34. That intro was so witty it gave me a monocle and a top hat xD

35. This was extremely helpful. I've never really understood color theory before, but this really helped me to understand it much better.

36. And what about traditional tho? Color pencils and copic markers

37. I've got nothing to add here. Haha Great job Brookse. A lot of my art tends to be black and white but this will help me with a lot of my color art.
