The Tomato-Apple Color Theoryby ^Katmomma

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Corel Painter

As I've been saying, My big goal of this year is to understand color theory. It can take an amateur piece of artwork and turn it professional-- just when you use complementary colors instead of darker values and black. Please feel free to use this tutorial; especially you blossoming artists out there: Learn your Color Wheel!!! This is also not limited to digital work, traditional artists better know this stuff too.

NO BLACK WAS USED IN THE COLORING OF THIS!! YOU DON"T NEED BLACK TO SHADE SOMETHING!! --except for when it's REALLY dark.....

About the Tomato-Apple.....It was supposed to be an apple..but it looks kinda like a tomato.

=savagebinn said that "The Tomato-Apple Color Theory by =Katmomma is an excellent tutorial on color theory that explains the basics of how shading is not just black and white. It really helped me personally and I think it could help a lot of artists." ( Suggested by `savagebinn and Featured by `bleedsopretty )

i have a small question, umm, since do shadows have to be cool and highlights vice versa? or can you switch the two?

and thanks SO much for the lovely tutorial
