I got them!! Thank you for sharing!!

I, for one, look forward to the nonsense. Bring it on!

Inherently the best art lessons do contain restrictions so I can fully appreciate how they might feel limiting sometimes. Best method to learn art is to identify those feelings and instead of fighting against them it’s better to schedule in sessions where you are free to draw or paint whatever you feel like doing. Art lessons such as this one is a simple and effective way to master colour but it does cost a lot of concentration to do. It can also be very motivating to see your own progress after doing assignments such as this one. Therefore maintaining a healthy balance of both types of art sessions is important for consistent growth. One type to open new possibilities for creative expression and another for enjoying the skills you’ve already acquired.

My pleasure, I wanted there to be a practical next step after my previous colour theory video and teaching concept art during spring has only reminded me of just how important this assignment is.

On brush use: its great that you’ve tried both suggestions. Personally I think using one brush helps with using the brush strokes as composition elements, as a way to describe volumes and it lets the character of the brush be part of what unifies the look of the entire piece. On this assessment: It’s really an exercise that always improves colour use. To get the most out of this assignment I recommend paying attention to where those impossible hues described in the end are found. It’s that muted edge of the hue cube that’s often completely forgotten when we just choose colours based on where we think they are. Colour symbols in our head such as “grass is green and sky is blue” are difficult to battle against. But when you approach finding the right hues through this process almost like a simple puzzle to be solved you can access a much wider spectrum of colours that in turn make the entire painting process easier. It also just happens to always result in paintings that have a strong mood because the presence of light affects every surface in the piece. It’s an exciting exercise but it also pushes me every time to find those optical illusions that change the way we see colour.

@@angrymikko Thank you so much for taking the time to explain! I really appreciate your detailed response. It means a lot to me.

Thank you so much, the purpose of this channel is to educate and inspire. My art teacher once told me being an artist is a very lonely practice. By having this channel I don’t feel that’s true at all. Even these paintings were done in stream sessions with tons of other motivated artists painting with me.

I recommend by drawing a 3d arrow in the beginning to display the direction of light in your scene. This might sound silly but I always do this in more complicated paintings because it’s really easy to forget where the light is coming from. Usually I paint the arrow with the same hue as my light source on an empty layer to have a note to refer to. Then I lock the layer so that I don’t accidentally paint or delete it.

Also the editing is very beautiful and gentle while also being easy to follow.

I find myself watching the video over and over (that’s how my brain works to process because I’m a visual learner). The explaining of how to select a lighter AND moving the ring to the direction of the light color was the key to unlocking how to do lighting.

@@JasmineCherie It's done just so well, I'm also a visual learner so I totally get what it did for you.

Vivi is currently having a very active day. I couldn’t spend as much time with her as she deserves during launch of these 3 things. Today we’ve had plenty of time to play with her favourite duck and she got new slippers to destroy. I’ve had a plan to do more traditional art again for the past 3 years but it always feels like there’s never enough time. This year I’ll try to make a video out of those at some point because otherwise I’ll never get to it. Traditional or digital, colour theory remains the same. Thank you for your kind words. It really helps to know someone out there is watching these 🐻🐻‍❄️

@@angrymikko I actually found a screenshot I took from one of your IG stories back in 2019 where you were doing a Q&A! The question was about how do you get past the ugly stage and your answer was really encouraging and reminding us that every piece of art has an ugly stage and you just have to push past it. All that to say, I’ve been following your work and teachings for awhile 💖 Color theory is always high on my “to practice” list. I love this video so much and have revisited it a few times already.

Really happy to know they’re part of your workflow. Sometimes releasing new products is really REALLY scary but I’ve always felt confident that my brushes are great because they’ve gone through so much testing before I share them. Glad to hear you’re finding these colour tutorials helpful. I don’t know why but I find it really satisfying when I figure out a visual way to explain something that in an art class sometimes can take a lot longer to explain with slides. Here in particular the original script had twice as long section explaining the buffer zones but once I got the animations done for that section it seemed like unnecessary repetition to even repeat the text that I ended up cutting completely. Weird thing to get excited about but there are endless of weird things about making videos anyway. =)

Painting from life is definitely useful. I did plenty of those in last month’s streams. They were all focused on colour theory too because it is present in all art involving colours.

My pleasure. It was fun doing the motion graphics for this one because I noticed I’ve gotten a little bit better at that which helped me visualise a lot more and more complex concepts spoken in this video.

That’s a great idea. I wasn’t prepared for how cute they were up close. I was explicitly advised not to pet them but it was difficult. They have such a gentle aura to the way they move, even when I offered snacks 🍃

I do have a full procreate course for beginners on my gumroad page. Link in the description of this video 🐻☝️

I hope you can forgive my spellcheck, it, my tablet, didn’t like me calling you Mika , it wants to type propaganda, and cause trouble for us here in Soldotna. Our state is only 40 miles from your country, we can walk cross the frozen ocean in the winter! Please text if you see fit, I am wait for words of your wisdom, and talents!

This is a great idea. I will have to do this when I get back home but this will take a while.

Do the Colors show true if they are screen shot and someone use them as a reference image, and use dropper?

You can also float normal palette window by detaching it from the top bar. Same for all colour selection tools.

All the brushes are completely unique to this set there are no brushes from any other sets.

None of the brushes in the best of collection have been sale anywhere before. They are all unique for the entire Best Of collection.

@@angrymikko awesome, thanks! And thanks for all your videos I has helped me a lot in mora thanks one way, cheers mate!

My pleasure, and if there are any topics you’d like me to cover in the future please let me know. 🐻

My pleasure, I hope you enjoy this video and the downloads. No spoilers but there might be an additional thing coming for everyone who downloaded it 🐻💖

That one is from the set in the art course Master Sky Painting in Procreate. You can do that same technique with any of the high opacity brushes that have an uneven edge. In fact in that art course the main brush is a very simple brush used in every phase of the tutorial. (not the cloud sculptor one) Cloud Weaver that is free is also great for that purpose but I recommend either duplicating the base layer or creating the body of the cloud with the wetness set to 0% Hope you enjoy the set and let me know if there is anything I can do to help with using them. Btw there is also a full video for the new set and it also has quite a bit of practical advice on using brush strokes in general. I recommend watching it if you have the time. Originally I thought to just make a cute couple of minutes intro but it ballooned into a full tutorial that’s longer than this one. 😅 I hope it helps people to not feel overwhelmed by these tools and highlight the controls and features of each brush.

Those creatures were the best part of my Xmas trip in Lapland I can’t explain how fluffy they look up close. Beautiful creatures.

@@angrymikkoI saw moose up close in Sweden and felt damn small. Lapland, reindeer and watching the northern lights are definitely still on my bucket list.
