“Why do you beat yourself up so much over little mistakes?”

This.

a public service announcement

and i thought only bob ross knew what was up

this single post is more useful to me then four years of art school 

We did it in color study class on my college and it’s incredible the difference between using red/blue/yellow than cyan/magenta/yellow. The purple was colored like shit, so as the greens. Than we tried the actuall primary colors and it FELT SO GOOD!

I JUST TESTED IT IN MY ART PROGRAM AND HOLY SHIT 

IT WORKED REALLY WELL

On the left we have dissapoinment; on the right, love.

Then why do they teach us that RBY are primary colours in Pre-KG????

To mess with our heads….

Or because they think that cyan and magenta are too difficult for kids to learn? Lame either way

Reshare to save lives

Okay, no. No no no no no no no no NO.

Listen up you fucks because I’m not wasting thousands of dollars on an art degree to watch y’all fuck up basic color theory.

Red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors

If you’re using p i g m e n t.

Do you hear me? When you’re using traditional media, fucking actual goddamn paint, Bob Ross style, your primary colors are!

When you use paint, your primary colors are red yellow and blue and don’t forget it.

NOW THAT CHANGES COMPLETELY WHEN YOU GO FUCKING DIGITAL.

THE DIGITAL PRIMARY COLORS ARE RED BLUE AND GREEN IF AND ONLY IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO STAY DIGITAL, ON THE SCREEN, AND NEVER LEAVE THE SCREEN, AND OF COURSE IF YOUR WORK IS GOING TO BE PRINTED. ON A PRINTER. WITH INK. THEN. AND O N L Y  T H E N.

ARE YOUR PRIMARY COLORS.

CYAN. 

MAGENTA.

AND YELLOW.

So say it with me folks!

Red yellow and blue, are the primary colors for traditional pigment that’s mostly used in paints and shit. You use red yellow and blue when you’re painting traditionally, Bob Ross style. 

Red blue and green is light, which is what you’re painting with when you pick up your tablet and go digital.

CMYK is ink, and ink only. You could use cyan, magenta, and yellow as your primary colors in paint if you wanted to be a complete dick, but they’re not your primary colors unless your work is going to be printed using. i n k. The only time they could be considered the primary colors in a traditional medium is if you’re using ink.

Good day.

Also thatswhiskytoyou’s color mixing is bullshit because THIS:

Is my icon. I painted this using RED. GREEN. AND BLUE. AS MY PRIMARY COLORS and they turned out fine. Of course, I used the finger smudge tool first and then the color mixing tool and then the blur tool, but hey what do I know.

Clearly using the blur tool only doesn’t cut it.

“Oh but Leo!” You say. “You used cyan and magenta in that color wheel!”

Well bitch guess what.

this is the digital color wheel. I’d say I mimicked that pretty well, don’t you think?

Oh and one other thing, notice how Blue and Yellow are directly opposite each other on this color wheel? That’s because we’re dealing with light, and with light, yellow and blue are complimentary colors.

Which is why when you mix them, it looks like this:

Which is a pretty neutral gray tone: They cancel each other out on the rgb color wheel when you mix them together.

BUT WITH PIGMENT THE PLACEMENT IS DIFFERENT

If you’ll notice, yellow and violet are now opposite each other, meaning they’re complimentary colors and if you mix  them, they’ll make a neutral gray.

But if you mix yellow and blue, same colors as before, YOU GET THIS:

Now keep in mind that the person in the video uses a darker blue, so they get a darker green, but the point is that it doesn’t make that neutral gray.

Now what happens when we mix yellow and violet paint?

Ah yes, you get a bunch of muted colors the more evenly you mix them.

What happens when you mix yellow light and purple light?

I see, I see.

OH AND ONE MORE THING.

They didn’t teach you about red blue green and cmyk in pre-k because when most of us were in pre-k digital art was still in its early stages and what fucking seven year old knows how to use a printer.

GUESS WHO’S NOT FUCKING DONE YET:

The reason the primary colors for light are so dramatically different from the primary colors for paint and ink is because your eye only receives combinations of red light, blue light, and green light. Our eyes do not have a sensor (cone cell) for yellow light. So when we paint with light, red green and blue are our primary colors. Because of our eyes.

Furthermore, paint primary colors are colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors together. For paint, they are red yellow and blue, because you cannot mix orange and green to get yellow. Mixing orange and purple paint does not make red. And mixing green and purple paint does not make blue.

Mixing blue and green paints will make cyan. Mixing red and blue paints will make magenta.

That’s why cyan and magenta aren’t primary paint colors.

However, you can’t mix yellow and blue ink and get cyan. You can’t mix red and blue ink to get magenta.

And that’s why cyan and magenta are the primary ink colors.

Brighter and stronger paints are created through tints and shades, through a thorough understanding of color theory and a few quality paint recipes. Not by bullshit posts on tumblr designed to mislead you.

So this is love, da da da da So this is love So this is what makes life divine I’m all aglow, do do do do And now I know The key to all heaven is mine My heart has wings, da da da da And I can fly I’ll touch ev'ry star in the sky So this is the miracle that I’ve been dreaming of  da da da da  da da da da So this is.. love.

Classic animators doing reference poses for their own drawings. I’m in love with these images.

Part of the reason animators like to work alone, late at night when no one is watching.

Why you shouldn't be afraid to alter your O.C.'s design if you want to

If anyone ever doubts that validity of changing their character design, think about this. It took roughly 2 or so years before Bugs Bunny even became close to how we know him nowadays, and a further 7 more years for him to have his current familiar body shape

It took from 1938 to 1948 until we had Bugs as we know him as he is today. In other words, changing your O.C.’s design (that is if you want to) is perfectly natural and you shouldn’t be worried about it!

OMINOUS WIND OH MY GOFDDFF

Everyone is talking about Thanos vs Vision, but what if...

What happens if the Mind Stone which gave the powers to Wanda gave her part of the energy of the Infinity Stones, energy that Thanos may use to track the stones? Perhaps the stone not only gave to Wanda her powers, but also gave her the ability to vibrate or produce a similar or equal energy, making it appear that she has a stone. If Thanos is looking for stones through a method of tracking energy (which would explain his arrival on Earth) he could confuse Wanda as who is carrying the stone. And what if Wanda lie and not reveal where the real stone is, in order to protect Vision? And what would happen if Thanos not ask two times for the stone, but simply abduct her thinking that she is the stone? If my theory is correct, the energy of Wanda would not differ with the energy of the mind stone, causing her to have the same essence. (Remember the soundtrack of Civil War, in the scene of Wanda and Vision, when he was talking about the mind stone and her powers? It’s called “celestial bodies”) And if Thanos discovers the lie, and torture her to tell him where the real stone is, and she fight him, and then Vision finds out, hell will rise.

Hey guys, remember this theory that I wrote a while ago? bringing it back for you ;)
