thank you soo much for these! they have been really helpful in helping me to understand colours, it was never really explained to me at high school OR college properly. I finally understand now, than k you for the few examples you showed as well, helped me get a rough idea as to how it should look as an example :D :dalove: :+fav:

I'm so glad it helped, I wrote this when I was in grade 10 - my high school art teacher was absolutely amazing.

I really liked this tutorial. It didn't feel too long, and the information as presented clearly with relevant examples. I have one question....and actually it's not exactly related to the tutorial but I've always wondered this; Once you create a work in grayscale and do all the detailing and values and such, how do you add in the colours? Do you create another layer and then match shade for shade/value for value the colours to your grayscale piece or is there an easier way to do it?

I'm learning as much as I cna about using colour well, and trying to create realistic variations in values along with the colours being appealing but it seems like doing the entire drawing in grayscale, just to redraw it in colour seems like a lot of time to spend, so I was hoping there was a method to adding in colours afterwards or something. Thanks for the tutorial in any case and I hope to hear from you :)

It really depends on what fits you. I find doing more realistic styled work easier to start off in greyscale because you can see the values easier. But for my stylized work, I tend to work in colour right from the start, and switch to greyscale and back while I'm working just to double check the values. But basically once your greyscale is done, add layers and layers and layers of colour (depending on the program you use, usually overlay, softlight, colour).

I took the liberty of finding a few tutorials that start with greyscale and end in colour:

I'm pretty sure you have it reversed. Black comes forward. White recedes. Try having mountains in the background be black and they won't be background no matter how much you say they are. A black ball on a white field will always jump out at you, whereas a while ball will slide back.
