Understanding the Concept of Color Step by Step from the Basics
A collection of basic coloring theory to solidly build your fundamental color usage skills Learn the most basic color-related knowledge such as hue, saturation, brightness, and color temperature, and strengthen your coloring inspiration by understanding the visual interactions between colors.
Expressing the Desired Atmosphere Based on Light and Shadow
Understand the relationship between light and shadow, and systematically learn the color changes and tonal effects according to cool and warm light. Grasp light that is not purely white, shadow that is not purely black, and learn a unique method of using chiaroscuro to express time and atmosphere.
Learn about color schemes and compositions that create richer visuals
Coloring know-how to make the screen richer and more interesting Learn how to express emotions based on three coloring methods: monochromatic, analogous, and complementary colors. Complete a rich screen design for your work through basic color theory and coloring principles.
WSfish's Color Hiding Formula That Adds Depth to the Screen
Instead of simple black, try expressing the color of shadows with a soft gray tone mixed with various colors. Learn how to freely control colors and create the atmosphere you want, developing your own unique color styling techniques.
Various texture expression methods to complete more three-dimensionally
Texture expression method that completes a more three-dimensional and realistic screen Understand the difference in reflected light that expresses hard or soft materials. Learn the color mixing method that naturally brings out the original texture, and improve the quality of your drawing.
From sketch to refinement, complete your own soft illustration
Learn the entire illustration process systematically, from composition setting, base coloring, detailing, to post-processing correction. Use color mixing tools to enhance the intended atmosphere, complete illustrations with soft color tones, and build your own new color styling.
