DIGITAL DRAWING: Analogous colors are 3 to 4 colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. For this contest you must use 3 to 4 colors that are adjacent to each other with NO SHADES of each color, NO DODGE OR BURN, NO WHITE OR BLACK.
For example, you can use yellow, yellow orange, and orange. You can also do blue, blue green, green, and yellow green. For more information about analogous colors go here Color scheme.
A good tool to get good analogous color themes can be found here. At the top section, select "analogic", click a color, and let the tool generate the 4 colors you can use in your drawing.
MAKE A SCREENSHOT OF THE GENERATED COLORS AND POST THIS IN YOUR SBS AS AN EXTRA STEP (this means a minimal 3 steps SBS in this contest).
fumoffu89: SO does this mean that we are free to draw anything we want, but with the colors specified? ( 5 years and 3546 days ago )
Contest Moderator: @fumoffu89: yep ( 5 years and 3546 days ago )
jaescoe21: ya pretty much. Its really cool. I had to do this for my design class. ( 5 years and 3546 days ago )
langstrum: no mixed colors also? ( 5 years and 3546 days ago )
Lamantine: this will be difficult ! ( 5 years and 3546 days ago )
jaescoe21: yes it is. No mixed colors langstrum. But you can use the smudge tool only if they color you are using it on is on another layer. so, there should be at least 3-4 different layers if that helps. ( 5 years and 3545 days ago )
sunzet: Can you give a link with an hint of what you have in mind, cause if I don´t reallyget it. Can I do a drawing with an object coming in these colors or do I have to make the whole drawing with JUST these colors. With no shadows, no dogde etc it will come out extremly 2D?

annabat: It's it allowed to use a neutral background color? Say white, black of grey? ( 5 years and 3544 days ago )

Contest Moderator: @annabat: nope ( 5 years and 3543 days ago )
iquraishi: hmmm only one entry so far.. hey jaescoe is this wht was in your mind..? do provide us with a link as sunzet asked, it would help us to understand and come up with something good... ( 5 years and 3542 days ago )
jaescoe21: sorry every one. I haven't been on in a while. here is one link It should look like this but with only 3-4 colors http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3314077267_71cc6b66dc.jpg ( 5 years and 3542 days ago )
jaescoe21: this is a good one http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0SwkVpOLo6U/R5aTRx9IjdI/AAAAAAAAAPU/uVuQfWgIwEs/s320/analogous.jpg ( 5 years and 3542 days ago )
iquraishi: now we can expect really cool entries.. thanks jaescoe.. ( 5 years and 3542 days ago )
jaescoe21: your welcome iquraishi ( 5 years and 3541 days ago )
pingenvy: Judging by the samples, there is also no blending by opacity or eraser tool? i.e. all flat color planes? ( 5 years and 3541 days ago )
jaescoe21: your welcome iquraishi ( 5 years and 3541 days ago )
jaescoe21: pingenvy: No opacity, it will be a different color if you do that. You can use the eraser to get what shape you want. ( 5 years and 3541 days ago )
pingenvy: Thanks jaescoe. My idea would have been thrown out. ( 5 years and 3541 days ago )
annabat: I thought I had the perfet thing, and the more I worked on it, the more I realised it just wasn't going to work without either black or white. I don't like these SUPER limited color schemes. ( 5 years and 3540 days ago )
IDt8r: Salute to all those brave enough and talented enough to try this contest. Like Anabat, I started a couple of entries, but yuck, didn't like the results. Good job, contestants! ( 5 years and 3540 days ago )
Howdie stranger! If you want to participate in this contest, just:
I like the clean sketch as how you made it in step 2, I like the use of light and darker green, but I'm not sure if the rough thin strokes fit in the image. Just my opinion though. Good luck!

wazowski: actually ran out of rendering colours, so I opted for line hatchimg. Also, just trying new different techniques. It could work, it might not. Thnx man
Hmm.. with doubts still in mind.. I created this.. used campaign poster of Obama as reference. I used wrong set of colors in my previous entry and thts because I was a bit confused.. no probs I got it now and here is the edited work. Hope this is on theme.. :) (5 years and 3542 days ago)
I saw your earlier entry, and I actually think that now that you have the right colors, it's much more compelling. The perspective is a bit off in spots, but I actually kind of like that, it gives it a bit of unexpected character.
Yes, You have the idea. this is suppose how it looks. I think the idea of making pictures likes this gives a different kind of perspective. I agree with anna.
I have to do this kinda thing for Fundamentals of Design class. When I saw your first entry I was like, "No!!! That's Triadic!!" Or whatever it was. I can't remember anymore. This, however is very nice. Great job!
author says:
Thank you everyone, that's encouraging, hhmm.. I'll see if I can correct the perspective.. but as you may now, looking continuously at these kind of color themes make eyes upset.. so will do that by taking sometime..
Great! And I was waiting for the first work to see what exactly the theme is... Nicely done, my friend!
author says:
@lamantine: my previous entry was off theme, in that color generator I selected 'accented analogic' instead of 'analogic' so I got a different set of colors, which I corrected after he message from mods.. the thing is I was confused about the theme..
yeah kinda cheating using an already analogous image... all you would have to do is color select and replace... Definitely something to do to get your mind in the right way to create something awesome for this contest, i would advise finding a non-analogous image and creating the color scheme yourself... good luck!
author says:
oh jackoboy.. so you think I cheated.. thanks for your advice, i created the color scheme myself, i didn't just color select and replace it... if I had done that then my entry would have been a duplicate of the reference with just changed color... and my entry in no way looks like Mr. Obama.. if you can follow my sbs you'll know that I created all the shapes and filled them.. thanks for your comment jackoboy..
Gl author , isaw the image when you posted it then all the changes you made.
author says:
Thanks Sophia, and you know I'm proud of this work.. not because its wonderful or anything but because it cleared doubts of you all so that I can enjoy the works of real masters.. Its been wonderful to see all those amazingly done entries.. Thanks everyone..
i thought the same about that butterfly, but it seems the same color, just looks weird next to the bright green that is surrounding it. Good Job author! Good Luck!
I like the clean sketch as how you made it in step 2, I like the use of light and darker green, but I'm not sure if the rough thin strokes fit in the image. Just my opinion though. Good luck!
