LECTURES

Color theory: the science and art of using color. It explains how humans perceive color; and the messages colors communicate artistically and emotionally.

CMYK: cyan, magenta , yellow, black is the primary colors of printing

RGB: used to display on the computer screen

Hue: the most basic of color terms and denotes an object’s color.

Shade: a hue to which black has been added.

Tint: a hue to which white has been added. For example, red + white = pink.

Tone: a color to which black and white (or grey) have been added.

1. Monochromatic: is a one-color scheme that is created using different tones of that one
same color

3. Complementary : colors opposites on the color wheel.

4. Split-Complementary: involves the use of three colors. Start with one color, find its complement and then use the two colors on either side of it.

5. Triadic colors: evenly spaced around the color wheel and tend to be very bright and dynamic.

Figure2.1: Hair color photo given by lecturer

Figure 2.2: Skin colors given by lecturer

Work Progress

First , we paste the color photos into the b&w photo by using Photoshop. Then, we can use the eyedropper tool to select the color and the use brush tool to draw it out as a palette.

Figure 2.3: Work progress using eyedropper tool and brush tool

Then, we use the quick selection tool to choose out the part we want and make a layer mask. We can also refine the mask after that so that It will become smoother and better.

Figure 2.4: work progress refining the layer mask (hair)

Then, after refining the mask, we can add a solid color and apply the layer mask into the solid color.

Figure 2.5: work progress after applying layer mask into solid color

Then we do the same steps on skin, lips, teeth, and the cloth.
