hi!! I鈥檓 a teenager who鈥檚 also transmasc and also loves painting! :D
I was wondering how you choose what colours go good with each other for the added contrast and depth and things; I鈥檓 really bad with colors.
Hi! Couple things I try to keep in mind when painting when it comes to colors:
1. Warm colors come to the front and cool colors get pushed backwards, same thing with saturated and muted colors. To bring something from the forefront i try to keep them brighter and warmer, and make my backgrounds the opposite!
I made this eel super bright and kept the background fairly grey:
2. Higher contrast areas become the focal point. Sometimes your reference might not look that way but you can push the contrast to tell viewers what to look at
For example in this painting I wanted people to look at the head first, so I added a lighter blue outline to the face to make it stand out more:
3. For stylizing colors I tend to adjust the saturation in my reference photos to bring out the undertone of the colors and then push that as far as it can go. I feel like this is really evident in some of my old portraits in the skin tone where sometimes I鈥檓 using green/blue/purple. Id say value is still the most important factor though, even if your color hues are off value will fix it!
