Artist's Comments

This is a basic color tutorial. I'm sure a lot of you guys learned this in school, so it's basically a refresher course.

Please note that I did not include every color combination ever, this was just mostly a general idea tutorial. Take what you learn and apply it to your own art. I know this is under traditional, but it is used for every type of art.

Thanks to everyone who responded to [link] ! I tried to include a lot of the combinations you guys liked. ;)

~totorochic linked some great websites for reference:
[link] this is a link for color harmonies in popular logos
[link] and this is a color scheme chooser.

The greatest way to learn color is to practice a lot, so get out there and practice <3~

I am so tempted to print this out and give it to the people in my art class who ask my poor teacher these simple questions every day. =/
