🎨Tutorial//How to create MOOD with COLOR

Added 2025-05-21 14:11:28 +0000 UTC

One of the main purposes of art is to evoke feeling and mood in the viewer of your artwork! COLOR is a fantastic tool to do just that!

In this tutorial, I guide you through the psychology of color, touch on color harmonies, and show you how you can communicate mood and even how the character is FEELING just with the color scheme of a piece.

For the last half of the tutorial, we dive into the demo where I show you how just changing the colors completely changes the MOOD of the same drawing.

I hope you find some helpful nuggets in this tutorial! Let's dive in my loves!!
