Eyes on me

[supreme57]

So, I finally got around to seeing the new Karate Kid, and was really pleased to find out that it was the story all about how Jaden Smith’s life got flipped turned upside down. You see, he was chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool, shooting some b-ball outside of his school, when a couple of guys (who were up to no …good) started making trouble in his neighbourhood. He got in one little fight and his mom got scared! And said “You’re going to learn kung-fu from the maintenance man downstairs.

this single post is more useful to me then four years of art school 

[lulukbraz]

We did it in color study class on my college and it’s incredible the difference between using red/blue/yellow than cyan/magenta/yellow. The purple was colored like shit, so as the greens. Than we tried the actuall primary colors and it FELT SO GOOD!

[zachdanielswhisky]

I JUST TESTED IT IN MY ART PROGRAM AND HOLY SHIT 

IT WORKED REALLY WELL

[idoko]

On the left we have dissapoinment; on the right, love.

[emeraldmercury]

Then why do they teach us that RBY are primary colours in Pre-KG????

[kamiyu910]

To mess with our heads….

Or because they think that cyan and magenta are too difficult for kids to learn? Lame either way

Okay, no. No no no no no no no no NO.

Listen up you fucks because I’m not wasting thousands of dollars on an art degree to watch y’all fuck up basic color theory.

Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors

If you’re using p i g m e n t.

Do you hear me? When you’re using traditional media, fucking actual goddamn paint, Bob Ross style, your primary colors are!

When you use paint, your primary colors are red yellow and blue and don’t forget it.

NOW THAT CHANGES COMPLETELY WHEN YOU GO FUCKING DIGITAL.

THE DIGITAL PRIMARY COLORS ARE RED BLUE AND GREEN IF AND ONLY IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO STAY DIGITAL, ON THE SCREEN, AND NEVER LEAVE THE SCREEN, AND OF COURSE IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO BE PRINTED. ON A PRINTER. WITH INK. THEN. AND O N L Y  T H E N.

ARE YOUR PRIMARY COLORS.

CYAN. 

MAGENTA.

AND YELLOW.

So say it with me folks!

Red yellow and blue, are the primary colors for traditional pigment that’s mostly used in paints and shit. You use red yellow and blue when you’re painting traditionally, Bob Ross style. 

Red blue and green is light, which is what you’re painting with when you pick up your tablet and go digital.

CMYK is ink, and ink only. You could use cyan, magenta, and yellow as your primary colors in paint if you wanted to be a complete dick, but they’re not your primary colors unless your work is going to be printed using. i n k. The only time they could be considered the primary colors in a traditional medium is if you’re using ink.

Good day.

[jheselbraum]

Also thatswhiskytoyou’s color mixing is bullshit because THIS:

Is my icon. I painted this using RED. GREEN. AND BLUE. AS MY PRIMARY COLORS and they turned out fine. Of course, I used the finger smudge tool first and then the color mixing tool and then the blur tool, but hey what do I know.

Clearly using the blur tool only doesn’t cut it.

“Oh but Leo!” You say. “You used cyan and magenta in that color wheel!”

Well bitch guess what.

this is the digital color wheel. I’d say I mimicked that pretty well, don’t you think?

Oh and one other thing, notice how Blue and Yellow are directly opposite each other on this color wheel? That’s because we’re dealing with light, and with light, yellow and blue are complimentary colors.

Which is why when you mix them, it looks like this:

Which is a pretty neutral gray tone: They cancel each other out on the rgb color wheel when you mix them together.

BUT WITH PIGMENT THE PLACEMENT IS DIFFERENT

If you’ll notice, yellow and violet are now opposite each other, meaning they’re complimentary colors and if you mix  them, they’ll make a neutral gray.

But if you mix yellow and blue, same colors as before, YOU GET THIS:

Now keep in mind that the person in the video uses a darker blue, so they get a darker green, but the point is that it doesn’t make that neutral gray.

Now what happens when we mix yellow and violet paint?

Ah yes, you get a bunch of muted colors the more evenly you mix them.

What happens when you mix yellow light and purple light?

I see, I see.

[jheselbraum]

OH AND ONE MORE THING.

They didn’t teach you about red blue green and cmyk in pre-k because when most of us were in pre-k digital art was still in its early stages and what fucking seven year old knows how to use a printer.

[jheselbraum]

GUESS WHO’S NOT FUCKING DONE YET:

The reason the primary colors for light are so dramatically different from the primary colors for paint and ink is because your eye only receives combinations of red light, blue light, and green light. Our eyes do not have a sensor (cone cell) for yellow light. So when we paint with light, red green and blue are our primary colors. Because of our eyes.

Furthermore, paint primary colors are colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors together. For paint, they are red yellow and blue, because you cannot mix orange and green to get yellow. Mixing orange and purple paint does not make red. And mixing green and purple paint does not make blue.

Mixing blue and green paints will make cyan. Mixing red and blue paints will make magenta.

That’s why cyan and magenta aren’t primary paint colors.

However, you can’t mix yellow and blue ink and get cyan. You can’t mix red and blue ink to get magenta.

And that’s why cyan and magenta are the primary ink colors.

Brighter and stronger paints are created through tints and shades, through a thorough understanding of color theory and a few quality paint recipes. Not by bullshit posts on tumblr designed to mislead you.

WicDiv Challenge Day 20

Day 20: Favourite WicDiv related post (tumblr, twitter, instagram, etc.)

Clearly, I want to select my own writer notes for ironic egomania points.

I do have something that comes to mind, but it’s not something I could link to, and I’m picking on terms of impact on me.

Obviously, Jamie and I pay more attention to the fandom chat than many creators. Almost certainly too much. Even so, it’s not like I read everything, or even most. There’s an enormous amount of it, and generally speaking when I understand the direction and nature of the argument, I stop or skim.

Jamie has a line that notes that most criticism either tells you something you already know or tells you something about the reader. The latter is basically Wilde’s All Criticism Is Autobiography which I’m fond of trotting out. This isn’t to diminish it, but is true. The former leans both positive and negative - most positive critique is noticing things we’ve expressly built into the work, and even the most brutal critique are rarely a surprise (that said the most aggressive normally involves both formal observations and personal feelings. A critic doesn’t get that angry if there’s not something that resonates with them negatively. There’s enough Phonogram reviews that seem to be primarily about the fact with someone who was into music laughed at the reviewer’s taste back when they were in school.)

But the key thing about Jamie’s line is the “most.” There’s always exceptions, and they’re always striking and stick with you. Colin TooBusyWritingAboutComics noting that all the cast in Rue Britannia are mainly suffering from an inability to experience pleasure in music is something that is undeniably there, but also undeniably not something I was conscious of directly. It’s an obvious side-effect of the guiding principle of Phonogram - that these people are not made better by music, but worse. These people are addicts. This is about music abuse. But still.

There’s been some stuff like that in WicDiv, often done without the person writing realise they were hitting something profound.

The one which sticks in my mind is a throwaway comment. It may have been no more than a single paragraph post - it could have been more around it, but the paragraph that sticks with me.

They noted that while obviously Laura is seriously depressed from the end of The Faust Act onwards, it’s only a matter of scale. Her self-annihilatory behaviour and beliefs all the way through the Faust Act are that of someone who was depressed.

I was entirely unaware I was writing a depressed character. I was just writing me.

I instantly burst into tears.

The Challenge.

[flowersandserratedteeth-blog]

Is it weird that I find this really cool?

I connected with Laura so quickly because I thought she was depression, even from issue one. I can’t afford therapy right now (gotta get back on my parents insurance, so I only have to do a $25 co-pay...is that too much information? lol), so I fill my time up getting obsessed over things, like Laura does with the Pantheon.

And I don’t mean, “Oh, this famous celebrate lives 15 minutes away. Let’s go sit outside their house for an hour.” (Would Laura do that? I haven’t gotten the super-creepy-stalker fan vibe from her. She just goes to the shows).

I mean, “Oh my god I love this series so much, I need to buy every cover that was ever printed, even though I really don’t have the money for that.” *cough wicdiv cough* or “This youtuber is really funny. I’ll watch every video they’ve done until their voice is like nails on a chalkboard.”

I don’t really have the self-annihilatory behavior like her because I’m not in the middle of a goddamn murder mystery (do you see what I did there? Goddamn? Bunch of fuckin gods running arou--okay), just mostly thoughts.

Basically, I connected with Laura right away because my depression seems to be like her unintentional depression.

But, ya’ know, I’ve got a whole lot less gods running around.

And it’s cool cuz as a wanna-be writer (who hasn’t written anything in years), it kind of another lesson for me on the fact that people can interpret your work differently than you do. I 100% thought that Laura was meant to be a shell of a human being waiting for her life to have meaning and purpose (like me, not necessarily like Kieron...I don’t know you, so I’m not going to put that on you lol), but it turns out that she wasn’t.

Looking back, I can see how she could also come off as not depressed, but maybe as an overly curious, head strong person. But I don’t relate to that, so that wasn’t my first interpretation. I related more to the depressed girl who wanted badass god powers no matter what because fuck it, that’s why.
