COLOR BASICS

• Hue = color. Increase saturation to make richer, desaturate for duller (horizontal in color picker).

• Value = shade: how much black (0) or white (255) is in the color (vertical in color picker).

• Use Adjustments (Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast, Levels) to change layers or selections.

• Use Blending Modes in Layers for Multiply (darker), Screen (brighter), Overlay (richer) results.

PHOTOSHOP PAINTING BASIC STEPS

1. Draw, scan, and bring into a new Photoshop file 12”x12”, 300ppi

2. Set line art layer to 40% opacity, blending mode= multiply.

3. Add 4 layers below: Palette, Shadows, Painting, and Basecolors.

4. Find a reference image for colors (photo, painting, frame of a movie or game), and color-pick 5-12 colors in various shades to paint swatches in the palette layer.

5. Basecolor Layer: With the Paintbucket, fill with a mid-value color.

6. Painting Layer: With a big brush, quickly paint the main colors to fill the areas of the line art. Use a solid brush, 100% opacity.

7. Shadows Layer: With a solid brush, 30% opacity, draw layers of shadows with dark colors. Consider primary and secondary light sources. Do the same for highlights using lighter colors. Use a 20% opacity eraser as much as the 30% brush, to paint and erase repeatedly
