I was just wondering whether or not you make your own palettes? If you make your own, how do you come to create your colours? I know it depends on what you are making, but what else do you consider when looking for a palette? If you get your palettes someplace else, could you please tell me where you usually get them? ------------- --%--{@ <3 MicheeMee |

If you are interested in really going after a cool palette I would recommend typing "color theory" into google and reading a few articles. It's well worth it if you want to pursue art seriously. |

Yes, something I've been learning these last weeks is that formal knowledge in art is terribly useful.
So make sure to check some general art tutorials about colors and shading. ------------- http://toxicdump.org/labs/frameviewer/viewer.php - Online Animated GIF Frame Viewer |

I prolly have my own colour theory. Part of it states that Green kicks ass, but the devil is yellow and pink. ------------- "I was minding my own business and walking across a pebbled path, and a Duck started giving me the business." |

Truer words have ne'er been spoken/ I don't even worry about it. I just make whatever colors match the mood or surrounding area. ------------- Kizzah! http://www.thepixelagency.com">

| Color theory is actually really interesting even if you don't want to apply it to your art. The science part of it (how our brains associate colors with moods/emotions) is fascinating. |
