Color Palette Generator
I’m not sure why I just found out about this but….amazing! So fast and simple!

snoipahkat:

OK SO i get asked about colors a lot and i’m really sorry i am so lame at giving detailed answers SO I’M GONNA ATTEMPT TO FORMULATE SOME„,  BASIC TIPS I GUESS
LET ME JUST START OUT BY SAYING i’m not really a very skilled or fancy or formally educated artist (shocking i know) and i don’t take drawing very seriously, BUT I HOPE A FEW THINGS I HAVE SAY WILL HELP YOU

(extra commentary in case anything is hard to read, here is the whole thing in one pic and not an obnoxious photoset)

1. HAVE FUN WHEN YOU ARE COLORING JEEZ don’t loose hair over trying really hard to study and adsorb shading and lighting ‘ruuuules’!! and while enough basic understanding is obviously important and necessary in creating believable and realistic pieces, being creative is also really important as well!! the bottom line of art is that there ARE no rules, and if you really do want to be happy with your work, i find a lot of satisfaction arises in knowing i made something only /I/ could make!! and besides, if i didn’t have fun making art, then i wouldn’t do it, frankly

2. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT TONE YOUR COLORS PORTRAY this is especially true for people and expressions and setting 

since color is such a big part of a piece, it also plays a big role in setting the tone of your work!! take a minute to evaluate the context of whatever you’re drawing and then try to see what colors would best parrallel that! and especially don’t be afraid to venture into palettes you don’t normally use!! but once you choose a palette that matches the tone of your work BE SURE TO STICK WITH IT so it is contiguous in both the background and foreground

(i used twilight princess and skyward sword as an example, i hope my analysis makes sense)

3. be sure to scribble with and test how colors look together BEFORE you take them to your lines!! and finally HAVE FUN WITH YOUR COLORING i know i already said this but it’s simply tragic when an artist becomes bored/uninterested/frustrated with colors ahhh!!! remember that every artist has different coloring styles so try you best to observe others’ techniques!! pay attention to what you like about them, but ALSO pay attention to what you dislike!!

practice a lot of styles, and ask around which programs/brush settings artists use if you find yourself interested in them!! i’m sorry i can’t help you with more technicalities, but learning for yourself is also half the fun!! plus i’m a lazy motherfucker and i’m bad a tutorials anyway

OKKKKAAY THANKS FOR READING OLLIE OUT

\o/: Pixiv Artist Rec List

aivii:

Pixiv is chock-full of incredible artists, and I figured it was time to share the artists who are particularly inspiring to me, based on my tastes :-)

As I have sadly not been on every corner of pixiv, there are bound to be many artists that I don’t but could have listed.. So please feel free to…

Forest Interior tutorial by dpaint

Here is a way to organize the complex information of an interior forest. This will work no matter what your rendering style happens to be. Whether you are an impressionist painter like me or a realist, the basic building blocks for the picture are the same the only difference is how far you want to carry the finish. This photoshop demo is based on a traditional painting I did a while back.


The challenge is to arrange the information to give you the illusion of space where no horizon is apparent. Forest scenes work best when you use clearings to establish a foreground or middle ground to help divide space in the scene. It doesn’t matter if you are painting jungle or alpine forests the abstract qualities of design still apply.


It helps to visualize the anchor points of the composition first. These objects will have the most detail and can be flagged or spotlighted for greater effect. They will give your eye a place to go in the image allowing you to use areas of less detail as counterpoints.


I always start with large areas of color keyed to the average for that mass this helps to unify the shape. I set up the different layers and work between them to balance color value and shape. Once these are established to my liking I begin to develop and refine the painting adding interest as I go.

N.B. It took me a long while to browse every blog, sorry if the category isn’t exact and if I haven’t listed everyone (link no found, hard to find artist’s own work, NSFW). I’ve discovered some lovely artists, hope you will too. I’m enjoying the experience and will now rest my eyes. Thanks everyone & happy Tumbling!

skellyvee asked: Hey, I’ve been watching your live streams for a little while now, and I’ve been very curious: how is it that you change your from a colour you’ve been using to one so complimentary in such a short period of time? I feel as though there’s a photoshop shortcut I’m just missing or something, because you go right from a base tone to a colour three tones lighter. Also, how often do you change the opacity?

hmm, i guess it’s just a habit to choose colors i’m familiar with so i don’t really have to try to find the right color -(omg this calls for an example) but when i do choose my shades, i usually stick to sort of an imaginary diagonal line.. that i only just realized i did LOL.


___

and i actually don’t change the opacity very often at all, only once in a while. i don’t really need to if i have the opacity jitter enabled, i can just press lighter for the stroke to be more transparent.

i hope i helped a little~ :0

Steve Hampton: Figure Drawing: Design and Invention

Figure Drawing 

I took one of his classes back when I went to art school and he’s an incredible professor and instructor. I’d advise people to look through his studies and even buy his book. It’s not necisarilly how to draw correct anatomy but to know it while making it stylized. His class basically teaches the mechanics of the body while using imagination. 

Seriously, I recommend anyone to attending one of his online workshops. It’s kind of pricey but much more affordable than what I paid. Then again I had my own benefits.

Anonymous asked: How do you figure out the colors you use with your pictures? Do you have a set of swatches you use or do you pick them from the wheel on your own?

from the color wheel <: i love warm tones so i usually stick to those, and more saturated colors too.

Anonymous asked: Hello thar and happy turkey day! (belated, i know) anyway, um, I hate to ask technical questions like this but, as a person who uses SAI for everything from sketching to lineart to coloring and shading, i just can't seem to get accustomed to using PS for those things. my question is, what are your main brushes you use for painting and what settings do you have them on? also, is there a smarter way to blend than the blend tool? ._. sorry for the many (dumb) questions, and thanks for your time! (:

omg switching to sai from ps has to be tough

ps is not for lazy people haha, you have to blend it by yourself by using opacity & constantly picking up color with the eyedropper tool (holding the alt key while clicking a color), like having the opacity jitter enabled and the flow% makes everything softer and less harsh, so you could try to lower that to help also.

i usually use this for painting:
