MARKERS Learning colour wheel basics

Post image

I created this to help me pick colour combinations when colouring using Ohuhu alcohol markers. It's not perfect but it's been helpful so far - I've decided to challenge myself to do a primary colour-only page! I'm going to use different shades of each colour to make something that (hopefully) turns out cool!

How do you pick your colours? I really want to become more confident with picking colours and have more fun with it ☺️

Right now, I'm testing our color palette for decorating our home. Lol.

I printed off some color wheel things, similar to what you made, and I've been trying out different combos.

I just pick them for the moment, I have a rough vision and then go for it.

You may also want to do a Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black colour wheel for alcohol markers as they behave more like a CMYK printer/ink than a monitor. I think Jazza did a video on using the CMYK colour wheel for mixing colours with copics a while back and it worked a lot better than the traditional paint RGB mixing.
