Hey guys,
I'm new to this site, and I mainly made an account so I can ask for your advice, especially when it comes to day and night differences in colors. I can't really nail the feel an object's colors at night, after drawing it in the morning. Here's an example, I took a tree from Mother 3 and altered it's colors, trying to figure out what looks natural, and I need your help with this one. Hope this thing uploads: Edit: How can I upload images from my computer, I can't find the option to do so? Also, is there a certain method to follow for making an object look believable at night when compared to it's morning colors? Edited by Eldin64 - 27 April 2014 at 6:58pm |

Use an image hosting service. Generally the colors at night are desaturated and, obviously, dark. Most people are afraid to go too dark, or overestimate how bright highlights are. The colors also tend to be cooler by moonlight than by sunlight.

I think this is what you mean, no?
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2vx5c3q&s=8#.U15Gq_ldX3Q By desaturated, you mean decrease saturation, right? I get that it's supposed to be cooler, but apart from green being blue at night, I don't know what other colors should change at night. For example, yellow (to orange?), or red (to pink?), I'm just not able to imagine it, hopefully with practice that'll change, but until then I definitely need advice from people who are better than me at this. Appreciate all the help man :) |

Our eyes contains two types of photoreceptors for capturing light information; rods and cones..
The cones sense the red/green/blue wavelengths of light(the color), because there are 3 types of cones: S-cones - sense short wavelengths (blue) S-cones sense strongest near wavelengths of 420–440 nm M-cones - sense medium wavelengths (green) M-cones sense strongest near 534–545 nm, L-cones - sense long wavelengths (red) L-cones sense strongest near 564–580 nm, Cones respond well when there is a lot of direct light, and they also provide more detail because they are located in the fovea of the eye(the part responsible for more detail). Rods are more sensitive to light and indirect light, but don't capture any color information. They are located outside of the fovea. When there isn't much light, the cones have difficulty sensing it, which makes your perception of color become less intense, also things become blurry because there is less direct light hitting the fovea. The rods pick up the slack in dim conditions because they are more sensitive to light, but because they are located outside of the fovea area, your center of vision is still a bit blurry, and your peripheral is blurry too because you don't focus in that area of the eye. Also, here is a link that explains some more stuff, like why green may appear brighter than red during the night.. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/vision/rodcone.html |
