*PLEASE READ!!*
I've seen quite a few comments about the color wheel I used not being a 'real color wheel' or some such, and I wanted to comment on it here, as I should have within the video.

I'm using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, key/black) color wheel in the video, as there is a lot of evidence to point towards it being a much more useful and 'true' color wheel for artists, over the traditional RGB (red, green, blue) color wheel. It's also the color wheel Valve uses in their write-up I've linked, as well as the color wheel used in Clip Studio Paint (what I use), Photoshop, and Procreate, among, I'm sure, many other programs. CMYK is, in my opinion (and many others'), a far more useful and aesthetically pleasing color wheel than RGB.

Also sidenote, because I've seen it mentioned as well, I did not design the character that I'm painting LOL, he is a character from Danny Phantom - specifically Clockwork -- and I was doing the piece for a friend. :) When I first made this video I was not expecting it to blow up the way it has -- I assumed it would stay mostly within the Danny Phantom fandom, and thus didn't feel a need to specify the details! Yes, his design is quite clunky! No, it is not my fault!

Thanks, yall :)

Join me as I travel down the small rabbit-hole of why Butch Hartman is a bad character designer, and maybe we will learn something together

Thanks to Stove for letting me feature their fantastic Flynn redesign!

Clockwork painting timelapse in the background is mine, because I....... I just...... didn't know what else to put in those shots lol

Also sorry for the wonky editing in some bits, I literally had never touched a video editing program before this
