I really got carried away with this one. More than 7 hours. This time I decided to try starting with black and white shading and then coloring but so far I’m finding it more difficult.

Very good posts here guys! Creeto and Okzorg i like the perspecitve choices a lot, and both full of great detail. Okzorg i like the color choices you made, maybe because the lighting is so well done.

Thanks Rabid1, I never like my colors and I’m surprised that you find them good. I like the colors other people use in their sketches but feel terible when I have to choose mine, I wish someone else like you or Creeto choose the colors for me:)

Ha your funny! If you’re interested, here is a link to an adobe color site which is full of interesting color combinations and patterns. It might help you with some of the decision making?

And if you find yourself interested in learning color, here is an in depth article on color theory-

Hope this helps.

Thanks Rabid1, I already have the Adobe link in my bookmarks but I will check the other.

Okzorg, i actually like your coloristic choice. the complements are singing pretty good together i think

as for color pallets, i must say Photoshop is a superb tool

something most people miss in Photoshop is the nice possibility to extract colors from pictures
they use the color picker instead of using the built-in tool. a shame really
i’ve built my own pallet(s) but i still use the extraction tool from time to time

this also allows to “move” pallets between Photoshop and Painter which i find very handy

Thanks for the encouragement Creeto, I really like and enjoy the colors of your paintings.

And thanks for the color extraction tip in Photoshop, I wasn’t aware of this feature and will check it out.
