Using Color Palettes Part 1

richiepope

With the unlimited possibilities of color selection in Photoshop, it’s really easy to get lost. 

I start with only about 3-4 colors (I personally mix colors directly on whatever I’m working on). I limit the colors for two reasons:

  1.  It keeps me from going too color-crazy.
  2. When done right, it forms a subtle sense of unity between the colors. 

Unless it’s a black and white or 2-color image, I use a variation of each primary color. The specific choices come down to the mood I want to communicate. 

 

Here’s an example palette. Feel free to use!

I bring my brush opacity down, usually anywhere between 12% and 56%. Using my base colors, I go over one color with another.

I then go over these new colors with each other and the original colors, varying in brush opacity.

 Eventually, I have a palette like this.

It’s an interesting and diverse range of colors without fumbling around the color picker.

As an example, in How Cats Find Their Way Home, you can see the amount of base colors compared to a selection of all of the colors.

Emmie was a pretty awesome cat. And the first pet I’ve really lost.

She was awesome and had a little chirp instead of a meow and liked tuna and licking Oreos and M&Ms. She was a tiny fuzzy thing that never bit or scratched (even when she had her claws), and would tolerate being picked up and mucked about with.

Emmie, you ruined every other cat ever for me. No other cat is going to be like you, and you probably did that on purpose since you never liked other cats anyway (though a dog and a bunny you seemed to get along with just fine).

I put this on my art blog last night after I got home from the vet.

Still don’t feel quite human again, but all the kind words and stuff from people has just been overwhelming. We assign so many human traits to our pets, that losing them IS losing a member of your family. And I’m so happy to be friends with and know people who understand that.

They’re never going to be “just a cat” or “just a dog” or “just a bunny” to me. Emmie was a little sister. One that barfed on the floor and pooped in a litter box and had the worst smelling breath ever, but still.

A study has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. For example: if she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear lodged in his chest while he is on fire. No further studies are expected on this subject.
