Art tips....
If you have any, post them here. Can be traditional art, digital, whatever. I'll start with the basics. This here is the colour wheel. Knowing this simple chart can help when deciding what colours work well and which doesn't. (I'll make this as simple as possible.)
"Primary Hues" - Red, Blue, and Yellow.
"Secondary Hues" - Green, Orange, Purple.
"Shade" - Black
"Highlight" - White
"Complementary Colors" - these are colours that are on opposite ends on the colour wheel. Example, Red and Green are complementary colors, as are Blue/Orange, and Yellow/ Purple.
Complementary Colors should be used if you want to make an image stand out. For example....Green text over a Red backdrop will intesify both colours, making them easier to see.
"Analogous Colors" - colours closely related on the wheel. Example. Red, Red-Purple, Purple.....or Blue, Blue-Green, Green, etc. Using this scheme of colours will make an image more soothing to the eye. These colours usually work well together.
some other terms......."Monochromatic." This just means an image that is made up of one colour in addition to black and white (or shades and highlights)
"Neutral" to neutralize a colour and make it less intense, it's better not to use plain black but use the colour's complmentry colour. Example....say you have a very bright red backdrop. But you want to dull it down. Just add some green.
"Warm and cool colours" warm colours just means, Reds, Oranges, Yellows. Any of these colours can give an image a warm feel to it. Cool colours are Blues, Greens, Purples, will do the opposite.
* If you think about it....every colour known to man can be created with just a combination of Red, Yellow, Blue, Black and white. Hope these lil' tips help.
