How to: COLORS

in #art7 years ago (edited)

Colors (obviously) are important. Almost every art, or digital art has at least, some color in it.
So, there are some different ways of using them, specially, when it comes to shadows.
Literally every element in the art has an important role to make. For example, the light.
There is something you need to have in your mind when you’re making an art and there is colors and light.
Of course, in some way this is something that many people already know, and it’s also something you can find in internet. In my case, it’s something I developed by myself, and now its super easy. But here it goes.

What’s this?
Well. You can see it as a simple color wheel.
But it is also a super simple guide that will help you a lot (believe me).

All right. That’s a shading, yep. But it is only taking the yellow color down in the dark scale.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is not the best way of making it. The best way, is using our color wheel.

Here. I’ll show you how.

STEP.1: Choose the color.

As you see, there’s no science on it, but here comes the trick.

STEP.2: FIRST SHADOW

Yep. See the difference?
Now our yellow ball has a more pretty shadow, making it a little bit more red, and of course, making it darker in the dark scale.

STEP 3. LAST SHADOW.

Basically, we did the same than in the last step, only using a more red, and a darker color.

WE HAVE IT
Congrats, you champions.
Now you know how to give a better color to your art when your shading something

Here’s another example. This time, with blue color.

Interesting that I've never looked at a color wheel like this. Thanks for the information. Could definitely make some vivid art this way.

Not being a 2D artist I never considered this approach, but that does make a lot of sense. Would love to see a piece using this technique, does anyone have a good example?

Colors play a pivotal role in our daily lives, influencing our emotions, perceptions, and preferences. From the vibrant hues of nature to the diverse palette of our surroundings, colors evoke a myriad of sensations. One area where the significance of colors is particularly pronounced is in the realm of food. The phrase Natural Colors for Food encapsulates the growing trend towards using organic and plant-based pigments to enhance the visual appeal of various food products. As consumers increasingly prioritize health and wellness, the demand for natural colors in the food industry continues to rise. This shift not only aligns with a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach but also underscores the connection between the visual aesthetics of food and our perception of its quality and freshness.
