In this class you will learn:

– Basic color theory

– How Hue, saturation and value change colors

– How colors change in context

– How to study colors from reference

– How to mix your own colors in procreate

In this class we’ll be going over the most basic of color theory, to help your understanding of hue, saturation and value, and how these affect colors. We’ll look at how Procreate’s color selection is setup, and how you can find the color you want.

You’ll be completing 4 different exercises to help you understand color theory and how you can find the colors that best suit your artwork. From picking colors from reference, to mix colors directly on the canvas, these exercises will give you options to incorporate in your own art process. All exercises and my favorite blending brush is available under resources.

Even if you are using a different drawing software or devise, you can learn from these exercises and methods, as they translate well to e.g. Photoshop and pc.

Although starting my digital art journey in Photoshop, once I got my first taste of Procreate I’ve never looked back. I use various ways of picking colors in my work, as I create fantasy portraits and magical settings.
