Colors


#1

Hey all,
I am now photoshopping for about a year, but I always get stuck at one point: The colors. Which colors should I pick? Should I add some more contrast? Is the balance good this way? I can’t always figur out what is the best looking. My question is: does someone have a website for me or some general rules for choosing a colour scheme?

Cheers,

Oh yeah, also another little thing :wink: Is there I good website where I can ask for feedback on my creations?

This is a good website for feedback. In the WIP 2D section.

I wrote a script that lets you strip color from an existing image, and be able to analyze that layer separately from the light/dark shading elements.

It might help you for a bit, to dissect existing photographs, paintings, etc and be able to see clearly how they deal with color. Check below for the link.

Wow thx, going to try that script now :smiley:

The 2D WIP section looks awesome, but I am more looking for images that are not made with a pencil or only a brush (things like photo effects, text effects, designing etc). If you know what I mean :stuck_out_tongue:

Ah, cool. I don’t believe there is anything wrong with those kinds of digital images in the 2D WIP/Crit forum here, however your right, you’d be just about the only person posting images of that nature here.

Let me know how the script works for you, if it’s helpful, or if you have any questions or suggestions.
