Description I want to replace the image or add another set at the bottom when I get a chance. This is the best I have time for right now.

as simple as this jajaja, I really love and understand the color, but when you put into practice, for some reason all become so complicated!!!!

Also hue, value, and saturation are relative to the rest of what you are looking at. Which is hard to understand.

Color and Light by Gurney is a good book on this stuff. Its going to take me a lot of practice to really get it though.

Yeah thats a great book for sure. If you take one thing at a time it really starts to make sense. Find the extremes first. Lightest light, darkest dark. Most saturated, least saturated. Find a hue you know you can identify and then find the rest relative to those. I have about 6 pages on this stuff. Ill be posting the second tomorrow.

Glad to hear you are doing more tutorials.

All those comparisons are going to take a while for me to learn.

I've mostly worked with color in comic coloring. The style I learned from the book called "Hi-Fi Color for Comics" is pretty relational since it uses multiply and screen modes. If I play it by eye it will probably work ok. There are two other things that still confuse me though. Colors get converted when they get printed so I don't know how close what I'm seeing is to what will be printed. Also I read that the HSV color picker I'm using in Painter 11 isn't perfect.

Such a simple process for such a complicated subject. Glad you posted this because my mind can get cluttered after reading through so much material that it all seems to blur together. This is something great to keep in mind when getting frustrated.
