Getting Started in Colour?
Hey guys, First of all - sorry I kind of disappeared, I had an external project in university to make a game and I was also away on holiday...
I’ve been studying value and painting in greyscale for a while now – but I really want to start to paint in colour…
Thing is, I’m attached to my greyscale drawings and I’m too scared to start colour because when I do start it just looks awful and not the same.
Is there any tutorials or tips for starting to paint in colour – what I want to achieve is something that is coherent with the rest of the picture – such as if it was a dark place dark colours, or a red kinda firey themed picture, reflected colour, choosing your palette etc – if that makes sense?
Something like this http://i32.tinypic.com/2qvxyxi.jpg (just a quick example I grabbed)
Could someone please link me to any of Xia's tutorials that explain painting in colour well? I'd prefer to be linked to idrawgirls.com!!!
Thanks!

Peace!
