how do you do your color work? it looks so nice :0
hiiiiii anon thank you!
i actually answered a similar question BUT i thought i could explain it better so im gonna run it back
again im definitely not an expert but i really like fun colours
a bit of a long post so cut
i’d probably describe my colour choices as exaggerated
generally when an object goes from light to midtone to shadow the colours get more saturated (this is not always true but it’s a good starting point)
so the more diagonal the relationship is, the more stylised it looks
*i learnt this from orenjikun on instagram. he makes cool informative stuff
i like to combine a more ‘realistic’ relationship with a stylised one by overlaying saturated over unsaturated
so i block in shadows w/ just a darker more saturated colour and lights with less saturated lighter colour.
then within an area i move the hue slider around for extra funkiness
in terms of where to shift it to, i consider
*other subjects
*undertones of the subjects itself
like here. local colour (pink) -> purple-ish
i chose purple because a nearby rohkx is purple (well magenta but yk)
and it’s a cooler tone than the warm local colour, which makes an interesting contrast but not tooo different
then adjust saturation and brightness as needed to match the values, and to personal preference:3
i use a soft blending brush w/ some colour jitter
for the. colourchangification. in the whole piece i used mostly shades of greens, pinks, purples, and blues to match the other characters’ colour schemes
then i don’t introduce too many new colours & it doesn’t look overcrowded (though that isnt a bad thing necessarily! )
this also means im basically adding in very stylised bounce light, which adds nice depth
bc some colours just inherently are perceived as more vibrant, using a more saturated colour makes an area appear brighter or glowy just by being there. even if the value is the same.
also i exaggerate undertones, kind of. for example something green will often have the shadows appear blue-ish. so then you can take that and make it Really Blue
i also really like complementary-ish colours for lighting, like blue on yellow, or green on red/orange
some of my fav colour combos to use are blue and green, blue and purple, red and orange. although you can really get silly w/ it
the most crucial part is that the values look correct (ie does it still look right in greyscale?)
you can do almost whatever as long as you get that down
i also just use my intuition sometimes. vibes are very powerful
but as a foundation the values are so so important. they do most of the work in making colour choices look correct
to finish it off i play around w/ curves and gradient maps to adjust contrast and the mood of the piece
OKAY. im done. sorry it's a little long but hope this helped!!!! if youd like clarification please ask im a chronic yapper :3
it’s a little fucked up that you not only listen to taylor swift but are actively supportive of her. like the nazi? like the lady who’s actively racist? like the billionaire?
okay i don't support the fact that she's a billionaire. there are no ethical billionaires. but that's not going to be the deciding factor as to why i choose to like/dislike her.
also she's not a nazi? or racist? i don't fucking know where you guys keep getting this from. you cannot make a huge inference, a stretch the size of the mariana trench from one lyric or one piece of merch. opalite is fucking blue, guys.
one more thing- have you seen the eras tour? have you seen her dancers? have you heard her talk about how important diversity is to her? have you heard her poc dancers talk about how she is literally anything but racist to them? go watch the end of an era episodes 3-4 and then come back because you're missing some information here, bestie.
so no. im not supporting a racist nazi. i'm supporting a pop star who makes music and makes people happy. literally not that deep.
