Lane's Sketchbook

Thank you for the paint over on my work. I appreciate your kindness to help me =) I love how you composed the Nymph painting, I think it's one of your strongest works yet imho.

[Cojac]

I have always set my color picker to HSB in photoshop. It seems very intuitive when thinking of color in terms of traditional painting.

Here I am playing around with the picker set to RGB. I am surprised with how significantly it effects my color choices.



It seems to lend itself to a broader spectrum of color, whereas with HSB I tend to adopt a much more limited palette. I think HSB requires more intentional color selection, where the RGB slider naturally introduces a greater range of hues. I probably just lack restraint though, and need to practice with it more.



I remember reading Lin Ran's great tutorial on RGB color picker a few years ago: http://conceptart.org/forums/showthr...t-BIG-download!
At the time I didn't understand the complexity of the RGB slider. It was just too overwhelming to bother with. Now it feels very natural to use. I think I'll keep playing with it.

Speak of the devil. I just left a comment on your dying bear/dancing dagger pieces on deviantart not long ago.
Funny how the internet can feel so small sometimes.

Amazing SB. You paintings are absolutely gorgeous and magical.
