More about Choosing Colors! + Process Gif and Discarded Version
Added 2022-07-24 09:51:17 +0000 UTCHey eveyone,
I wanted to use this recent painting of Archangel Raphael to talk a bit more about the freedom you have when selecting colors, and the primacy of value over color when conveying from. I've already talked about this a bit in this video: https://youtu.be/CXugpKLIy44
The first face example in this breakdown had the colors for shadow, light and halftone sampled from the Raphael painting:
Hope this is useful and maybe frees you up in your thinking when it comes to selecting colors and how they act in relation to value and the environment.
Here's also a discarded sketch for the painting:
I'll be posting a new vid tomorrow about rendering, now that I've talked quite a bit about blocking in. Feel free to comment with any thoughts or questions!
God bless,
Ognjen

I guess you’d either take the color closest to the local color (which would be the most saturated out of the light, halftone and shadow colors), or just keep the midtone on a separate layer and experiment around with hue, value and saturations sliders. With skin, the halftone tends to be warmer, for example.

2022-07-27 17:35:11 +0000 UTCVery clear! :) Semi-unrelated question, but what happened to the video 'tomorrow' about rendering? This post was uploaded 3 days ago at the time of writing, but I can't find anything from two days ago. Am I in the wrong tier, did I somehow miss it, or is the video not done yet? Don't mean to pressure you, just curious what happened to it.
