My friend Vince Aparo and I are on a quest to get cozier with color. We're going through the alphabet, which will act as a randomizer for subject matter. One a day for 26 days.
These exercises will be less about the drawings and more about color selection and application. I'm trying to be decisive about which colors I use (or at the very least have a loose plan) and work on a single layer.
Today's takeaways (Thanks Shae Shatz) :
-Determine neutrals (base) -- Must be there for poppy colors to pop!
-Reserve saturated color for focal areas
-Pick a compliment
-"Stained glass" filter works well for color picking
-Don't start on a white background (if you can help it)
-Play with hue jitter on brush
-Play with noise layers set to soft light
