COLORS

I just finished drawing a picture of David Bowie (that I will post tomorrow), and I realized something; I can't use COLOR.

I mean, I know how the primaries and the secondaries and the color theory stuff works. But, everytime I try to use a wide array of colors it looks like gook. Especially when I try to do bright, neon-y stuff. It's like I always just end up choosing colors that look awful together. Then, I'll try to fix it by panicking and adding more colors, AAAND it's a downward spiral from there.

This is probably why I stick to only using monochromatic schemes, and the primaries (never secondaries, I think they are gross together).

On a somewhat relevant note, Jesus I hate contrasting colors with a passion. Why do we ALWAYS use that scheme in art class? If we did nothing but primaries all year, I would be SO CONTENT. Heck, why do we even get assigned color schemes in art class? I WANT TO DO WHAT I WANT /whine. But, some people just don't get them, I guess. Just like they don't get contour lines. Dear God someone get me out of my art class pleeeaasseee


PS: I totally used primaries on David Bowie
