Color Theory Basics

Color Theory Basics for Beginners

A growing artist's understanding of color theory

Introduction

     I don’t know about you, but the understanding of color and more so learning how to apply it to art feels intimidating and perhaps even scary. I’m going to try and avoid overwhelming your brain with technical facts about color theory and focus more on applying it to your artwork, because if you’re anything like me…you’ve been avoiding this topic in fear that it’s too linear and technical for us creatives to grasp. Color theory shows us how colors mix and contrast with one another, so I believe it’s essential to have some idea of how to implement it in your work. 

  The Color Wheel

     The color wheel is based on red, blue, and yellow. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram of colors in 1666. There are a lot of opinions regarding the color wheel and how to use it, but I’ll just give you the basics so you know what terms to use when discussing your art and some ideas on how to implement them into your work. 

Categories of the colors based on the color wheel: 

Primary colors: These colors are used as the base for the color wheel, Red, Blue, and Yellow. All other colors are derived from these three colors.

Secondary colors: Green, Orange, and Purple. These colors are formed by mixing the primary colors.

Tertiary colors: Yellow-Orange, Red-Orange, Red-Purple, Blue-Purple, Blue-Green, and Yellow-Green. These colors are formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color.

Properties of Color:

Value: Describes the lightness or darkness of the color. 

Hue: Refers to color in its pure state, it also determines a color's position on the color wheel.

Intensity: The brightness or dullness of a color based on its saturation. A color is most intense in its purest form, (or hue). Intensity becomes lower when a pure hue is mixed with a complementary or neutral color. 

Complementary Colors

     A complimentary color is a color that is the opposite of a color on a color wheel. If you choose any color on the wheel, you’ll be able to find its complement by just dragging your finger straight through the center until you reach a new color. The complimentary color for red is green, the complimentary color for blue is orange, and so on. 

Color Temperature:

     Color temperature can greatly impact the mood of a piece, it can be

used to create contrast between subjects or separate pieces. Warmer colors are usually deemed striking, energetic, or happy. Cooler-themed pieces are often considered peaceful, sad, or moody. 

    If you draw a line across a color wheel, half of it will be considered ‘cool’ and the other half will fall into the ‘warm’ category. 

Examples of cool colors are Purples, blues, and deep greens.

Examples of warm colors are Reds, Yellows, and Oranges.

     Warm and Cold are not limited to bright colors, greys can even have a warm or cool tone to them. 

                Shadows and highlights in art:

    A common way to use color theory is in how you apply it to shadows and highlights in your artwork. For example, it’s common that in an environment that has warm highlights (like a bright sun), then the shadows will actually reflect the complementary color of the highlight. If the sun is your highlight source, then your highlight color is probably yellow. The complementary color to yellow is purple and blue, so you can use this knowledge to find the color that best suits the mood of your scene. -show some examples-

     You can also swap this around if your highlight color is a cool icy light in the blueish-grey range, then sprinkling some deep yellows and oranges throughout the piece will help it pop. 

     You’ve reached the point in color theory where it’s up to opinion and preferences. If you want a really ‘cold’ and ‘dreary’ feeling, then only using cool colors might benefit you more than attempting to use a blue-complimentary color. Rules in art only exist so we know the fundamental structure of how they work, once you have that understanding, breaking the rules can be beneficial to your art. Don’t be afraid to get creative and try something new once you’ve figured out the basics. 

How Color changes based on the environment

    Colors will obviously look different depending on the setting of the subject. Human skin is a fascinating topic when it comes to this logic. For example, it is redder in areas where the skin is thin. It picks up the blood and veins underneath it, or the warm glow of the sun behind it depending on its transparency. 

     Color and light bounce off of different objects in different ways, so that’s where photo reference comes in. If you can find images of your subject in the environment you’re wanting to paint, you’ll have a better understanding of how color interacts with itself. If something is sitting outside in the grass, for example, it will have the warm yellow highlight of the sun. However, it may also have green gently bouncing up from the grass and onto your subject. It may also have blues from the sky reflecting off of the grass and onto your subject. Color is truly fascinating when you start observing it from an artist's perspective. 

    A lot of this isn’t directly linked to color theory, but rather lighting, ambient occlusion, and so on. I just thought it would be good to hint at it here as well. I plan to write more on the topic of lighting and ambient occlusion in the future so be on the lookout for that if this subject interests you. 

Using other Artists as a reference

     I always recommend beginners, and even non-beginners, to look at their favorite artists to better understand their process. Color is no different when it comes to that. Look at your favorite artists with the knowledge you’ve taken from this article and see how they’ve applied it to their works. Did they use primarily cool colors, with just a patch of warm colors to emphasize a point as they did here? Did they use saturation or desaturation to help draw the eye into where they want your attention? There are many different ways to use color to your benefit, and the more you expand your visual library by looking at other artists' work, the more you’ll be able to imagine unique color combinations and set-ups to benefit your work and growth as an artist. 

Summary

    Color is an extensive topic that could span across many many articles and fills multiple encyclopedias, however, the basics are pretty simple to grasp and I feel that unless the topic calls to you–are all you need to get started with color in your art. Your eye for color will develop over time as you look at the work of artists you admire and challenge yourself to try new things.

It’s always a gay thing

My Nice Guy Experience (Storytime)

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting something like this and I hope you like it, let me just say that the names I use will NOT be the nice guy’s name, due to them still being on the amino, I will also not give out which amino(s) he connected me with so there won’t be drama.

I met this dude on amino before I started dating my girlfriend, so mid or late May. He private messaged be a odd emoticon and then said “Hey” or something like that. I was talking to my brother @edgyoliver when I got the pm so I showed him, he told me not to reply, but being the idiot I was I replied. We had small talk and that was it. In June, I left that chat since I didn’t talk on there and that was it. Only for that amino. I was in a staff for its side amino (a backup amino I guess) and that dude message me on there (I’ll call him Blop). Blop said hey and asked if I had an older sister that goes by [insert her username] (don’t wanna give it out), I said yes and we talked more. Then he said something about rainbows so I said, “Lmao gay, you like rainbows” and he went mental on me. I don’t remember exactly what Blop said but it went like, “WTF WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?!?! I’M NOT GAY YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE SLUT GO KILL YOURSELF AND BURN IN HELL!!!!” Obviously I was scared and terrified, but Blop said sorry so I forgave him. Now to October, I was watching a movie with my friends and girlfriend (this is important trust me) and it was the first Hotel Transylvania. I got a message from Blop after months of not talking asking me to draw for him (for free). At that time and now I would only coin commissions but I thought he was cool so I said I could. He wanted a full animation meme, the “I Like Me Better When I’m With You” with my fursona Star and his fursona, and a full colored+edited lines+shading ref of his fursona. But here’s the thing, he asked for a clothed version and a non clothed version, WITH the dingdong, Blop even told me how long he wanted it to be and what color. My girlfriend saw and she told me, “Love, I think you shouldn’t talk to them anymore” but I told her, “he’s just acts weird”.

I accepted the request, told him I’m watching Hotel Transylvania so it might take awhile. He said it was a great movie and that Dracula’s daughter reminded him of me. Thought it was weird but shrugged it off. 2 days later I get a pm, this is what I remember the chat as:

Blop: Hey

Me: Hi

Blop: So I have to tell you something important

Me: Oki

Blop: You’re Dracula’s daughter...and I’m the human...others may see us as two different beings that will never love each other but we can prove them wrong

Me: Come again?

Blop: I love you

Blop: Will you go out with me?

Me: I’m sorry Blop, but I’m a lesbian

Me: And I have a girlfriend

Blop: So now you become a lesbian JUST as you led me on!! JUST AS I TELL YOU?!

Me: Excuse me? Do you need to sit down?

Blop: SO YOU DATE OLIVER (he’s talking about my brother friend btw) BUT NOT ME?!?! YOU ARE JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER USELESS SLUTS HERE, LEAD A MAN ON BUT FUCKING DESTROY THEIR DREAMS AND MOVE ON LIKE ITS NOTHING

Me: Wtf?

Blop: DONT WTF ME!!!! I SWEAR WHEN I FIND OUT THERE YOU LIVE I WILL COME INTO YOUR ROOM AT NIGHT, RAPE YOU, THEN CUT YOU UP IN LITTLE PIECES THROWING THEM INTO THE TRASH WHERE YOU BELONG

Me: *leaves chat*

Blop is still spamming me with chat invites saying sorry and asking if I will still date him. Once he even messaged my girlfriend saying that we need to break up or he’ll kill himself. If I’m able to I will add pictures of that chat later on. Anyways, watch out for The Nice Guys
