Hey guys Neddy here,
A friend of mine courageously admitted that she couldn't paint color studies. As a self-thought artist, I was constantly told to study art, paint color studies, and paint as much as I could. but honestly, I found it so difficult to train my eyes to see color. after fighting through the frustration I finally found a neat trick that helps me create color studies and in this video, I will be explaining that process and showing you how I create a color study digital painting from start to finish!
this video is a bit lengthy and full of information, so it might be one you may have to watch over and over before you get the hang of it. so here are some TIME STAMPs to help you find the chapter you're looking for when next you want to brush up your knowledge!
