Note that this is not the end all and be all of color theory. There’s so many ways you can apply it and even make your own rules. This is just how *my* brain processes the basics. So this guide is like how my subconscious works when coloring, but in visual aid form ✨
Since we’re all digital artists now, I wanted to share some of my favorite techniques that I apply to my illustrations. These were done in Procreate, but I’ve added keywords so you can find if they’re applicable in your favorite art program, but I know they work in CSP & PS. (1/)
