Description
Hey guys!Now this may look boring and shit, but it is a massive break through for me. I was just about to hit the sack last night when it clicked in my head of how I can use warm and cool colours. So I stayed up for another 2hrs doing this and putting it into practice. I have been told by a number of people that my work lacks depth and an understanding of warm and cool colours.
Still have to get depth under my belt but I feel I have taken a massive step in my understanding of warm and cool colours which should reflect in my art work too.
enjoy hope this helps someone... lol

*sorry for the bad explanation >.< I'm so sleepy, lol!*
oh it means sometimes I'd like to try pulling off neutral colors but can't. I mean neither warm nor cool, and I've learned using pure gray will make a hole in the painting, but I don't know how else to pull it off :c

Well pure grey dosent really exist in the real world same with white and black. Thats why it looks wrong. So instead try going very close to grey but just dont lose all of the colour 
I hope this helps
any more questions just hit me!

I do go to art school I study a bachelor of animation which really has nothing to do with this stuff but its fun and its different. I just do this in my spare time
I find its just trial and erorr. Like you as the artist has to find what you feel is right. Just try a few and see what you think I tend to stick around the middle left of the photoshop square pallet. And I personal

I personally never really reselct colours from the painting itself I got back into the pallet and target exactly what I want. But everyone has their own way of doing it.
Would you have msn by any chance? this would be way easier on something like that.
Or just ask me questions in notes thats what most people do.
Hope this helps you

such a simple way of demonstrating it.
ok, so, for warm?
orange highlights red
purple highlights blue
yellow highlights green
and for cold? i'm guessing here...
pink highlights red
cyan highlights blue
white highlights green?
its amazing how its almost subconsciously we perceive it as warmth, the human mind is enigmatic.

not really the main thing you have to focus on is the base colour so the first colour you put down.
That is the major thing which determins it but yes I also change the final high light to strengthen it.
Thants just what I do though dosent mean its the correct way to do it!
