So I finished The Eye of The World (Wheel of Time #1). (spoilers in art form below)

and Good News I managed to keep my mind off of Stormlight Archive during a very busy week or two where I had to Not Think about the Big Interests but bad news I may need to find The Great Hunt. More art will likely occur. I have several more ideas for sketches (mostly vine references) and one Big Drawing idea.

sorry I gave Rand Luke skywalker hair it will probably happen again

Art Tip #1 - Color Theory: A Crash Course

Art isn't complete without colors, right? Unless you'd consider a blank white sheet of paper as art, then by all means...

In today's first stop at the Art Terminal, we will be learning how to use colors using Color Theory! Being knowledgeable about basic color theory can really help you develop your skills as an artist no matter what medium you'll be using - be it traditional art, digital art, or even a mix of both! It may seem confusing at first but with this guide, you'll be making well-coordinated compositions with flying colors in no time!

PART 1: How to use the Color Wheel

This infamous wheel by Isaac Newton helps you see the relationships between the colors.

Keep in mind these 3 categories:

⓵ Primary Colors: Red┃Blue┃Yellow These are the first three basic colors - all other colors can be created by mixing them in different ways. Tip: mixing all three creates the color brown! ⓶ Secondary Colors: Purple (red+blue)┃Green (blue+yellow)┃Orange (yellow+red) If you've noticed, these colors are created by mixing our primary colors. ⓷ Tertiary Colors: Red-Orange┃Red-Purple┃Blue-Purple┃Blue-Green┃Yellow-Green┃Yellow-Orange As you might have guessed, we get these colors by mixing our primary and secondary colors.

Part 2: What are the Color Properties?

Keep in mind Color has 3 primary properties:

⓵ Hue: the colors in their purest state - or in other words, a color's name.

⓶ Saturation: the brightness or dullness of a color - the intensity or purity of a hue. Tip: High Saturation/Saturated = color looks very bright ┃ Low Saturation/Desaturation = color looks washed out or greyed out

⓷ Value: the degree of lightness or darkness of a hue. Tip: There are 3 ways to change a color's value: Shade┃Tint ┃Tone

Shade/Shading: a shade is a color that is produced by adding black.

Tint: a tint is a color that is produced by adding white.

Tone: a tone is a color that is produced by adding grey.

PART 3: What is Color Harmony?┃What Color Combinations or Schemes can we use?

Go back to the Color Wheel as it is a good reference in helping you create appealing schemes. Here are 6 common combinations you can apply in your work:

⓵ Analogous: uses colors (around 2-4) that are next to each other in the color wheel - Match them!

⓶ Complementary: uses colors that are opposite or across of each other on the color wheel - if you can't match 'em, clash 'em with their opposites! Tip: matching these colors creates great contrast and visual interest so they can overpower each other sometimes so keep that in mind.

⓷ Split-Complementary: 1 base color then 2 colors adjacent to its complementary color - if the contrast too much, split them!

⓸ Tetradic: uses 2 complementary pairs. This forms a rectangle on the wheel - if you need more variations go double complementary!

⓹ Triadic: 3 colors that are evenly spaced out in the color wheel. You're free to choose from a variety!

⓺ Monochromatic: uses different tones, shades, and tints of a singular color. Sometimes it just works!

PART 4: What is Color Temperature?

Ever wonder why some compositions feel cold or hot? It is a fact that color has the ability to evoke feelings or emotions. As such, color temperature is the one responsible for this - it is the "warmth" or "coolness" of a color.

Warm colors: Reds┃Oranges┃Yellows Generally seen as colors that are bright, cheerful, active, or happy

Cool Colors: Purples┃Blues┃Greens Generally seen as colors that are dark, mysterious, melancholic, or gloomy

And that concludes this stop for today! These tips are a lot to take in, we feel you, and that's alright - come back to this station when you need a quick reference. We hope you learned a lot from this and that you'll be able to apply them in your paintings or digital illustrations!

Now pack your art supplies and start creating! Safe travels~

Do you like color coding characters? If so, why?

I’m trying to be more conscious of color coding now because it helps keeping things consistent and it’s just a nice thing that can make your designs pop, but it’s not really something I keep in mind a lot (usually though, if I color code something it’s either because it was pre-packaged that way or it was a complete accident).

😍: What color do you think looks the best on (S/I)?

To Aurora?

[Aurora] Oh, hello! Absolutely, I'd love to answer.

Emerson defaults to a lovely violet shade when they attend to me in the castle, a pale sort of lavender. I love their gown– we're not sure what the fabric is, really, but it's soft, and it shimmers in the light. Aunt Merriweather made a face at the color once, saying violet reminded her of someone she'd rather not recall. I told her to play nice, for my sake, especially considering Maleficent really can't do us any harm or even bother us without Emerson letting her, and frankly, it wasn't even nearly the same shade as Maleficent's cloaks.

And then she said something along the lines of, oh, you know, it's actually closer to a blue, isn't it? And I said yes, Auntie, you could certainly say so. And she seemed a lot less nervous about the whole situation after that.

So I do think they look lovely in that shade. And though they don't wear it much anymore, as a child, they always dressed in forest tones– browns and greens, you know, and they'd blend right in to the trees and leaves. They've told me now it made them much better at hide-and-seek than I was, but if you hear that from them, tell them they're remembering wrong! I could always find them in no time at all.

And... well, I also think they look darling in pink. 🩷

Understanding Color Wheels: A Comprehensive Guide for Designers

Color is a key element in design, impacting emotions and perceptions. The color wheel is a valuable tool for designers to understand and utilize color effectively. This guide delves into the origins, types, and applications of color wheels, catering to both experienced designers and beginners. Familiarity with color theory is crucial for creating visually pleasing designs, and the color wheels aids in selecting colors through schemes like complementary, analogous, and triadic. By grasping the color wheel's principles, designers can improve color selection and coordination, resulting in better design outcomes. This article offers insights and tips to enhance design work and creative processes, showcasing how mastering color can boost creative potential.

Color wheels visually represent color relationships, aiding designers in making informed color choices.

Color wheels are essential tools for designers, aiding in understanding color relationships. They are displayed in a circular format, illustrating complementary, analogous, and monochromatic color schemes. This knowledge helps designers create color palettes that convey specific emotions and reinforce a brand's identity. By using color wheels, designers can streamline the design process and make quicker, more effective decisions. They can easily identify appealing color combinations for their projects based on established color relationships, resulting in designs that resonate with their audience and achieve desired outcomes across various design disciplines.

 Understanding primary, secondary, and tertiary colors enhances your design's harmony and visual appeal.

Colors are categorized into primary, secondary, and tertiary groups, which helps designers create visually appealing designs. Primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) are used to create others, while mixing primary colors produces secondary colors like green, orange, and purple. Tertiary colors come from blending primary and secondary colors. Understanding these relationships helps designers choose colors that work well together for a harmonious look. Using color wheels, designers can explore different combinations that match the emotional tone they want to convey. Applying these color classifications effectively can lead to designs that are both eye-catching and meaningful to the audience.

Complementary colours create striking contrasts, essential for dynamic and engaging design projects.

Complementary colors, positioned opposite each other on the color wheel, offer strong contrast and enhance design projects by drawing attention and boosting visual impact. Pairings like blue and orange, or red and green, are popular in branding for their energetic feel. These colors help balance and harmonize designs, creating tension that keeps viewers engaged and reinforces the intended message. Understanding color wheel principles allows designers to effectively use complementary colors for successful visual communication.

Mastering the color wheels is vital for designers to enhance their creativity and create visually appealing work. Understanding the relationships between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, as well as complementary and analogous color schemes, allows designers to evoke specific emotions in their audience. The color wheel is not just a practical tool for creating harmonious color palettes, but also a source of inspiration for innovative designs. By applying color theory effectively, designers can elevate their work and connect with viewers on a deeper level, achieving more impactful results.
