Description
Video tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QmsQ6…Part 1:
Sorry if this is a bit late! Finishing this drawing took way longer than expected :') I really hope it helps though! Tell me any other tutorial ideas you think I should do.
Resources:
Find your way around DA #3: Color TheoryPicking the right colors for your work can be a long process. It's about more than just personal preferences. Colors can behave strangely. Some things work better together than others, but sometimes tried and tested combinations suddenly don't work in a piece, or colors that usually don't go together are an unexpectedly great match. What madness is this?!
Rest assured: There is reason behind this madness: Color Theory. It's a term that I think many have heard before, and only few really understand. But it's a very important tool for visual artists. The basics are simple, but it can get pretty complex, and getting the hang of it takes a lot of practice.
So in this journal I have collected resources that try to explain the concept of Color Theory, and/or give tips on how to pick your palettes. This is not a journal on coloring in general! The two things obviously do overlap, but I will try to focus exclusively on the theoretical aspect of it.
I hope this list will be use

Wow! That's actually very encouraging to know. As a beginner artist, I am at times frustrated by the speed at which I create - mostly because I don't know what the "norm" is. Thank you
