Colour Tutorial by Vance Kovacs


Vance Kovacs, whose credits include work on Fallout 2 and Icewind Dale, has posted a a tutorial of sorts on the Sijun forums on how to effectively use colour in digital art.  Using his work Silver Marches as an example, Justin looks at some fundamental guidelines of colour.

Ask your self, "What do I want to achieve with my color?" What is the scene about? What pallette will best serve the emotion of my picture? this will be tricky if you're not used to this. Color does evoke emotion. If you don't believe me paint the inside of your house fire-engine red and see how it effects your emotions for the next month. The best thing to probably do as a beginner is look at good color. Get influenced by good art. Sargent, Wyeth, Cornwell, Bisley, ...there's quite a few out there. Also look at films with heavy art direction; Crouching Tiger, Minority Report, Tim Burton Movies...

I enjoyed it. even though most of my work is in grayscale or black and white, the same principles apply and even grayscale can be given the appearance of colore
