The ULTIMATE Color Theory Tutorial
Always struggled with color theory? well me too X,D --That's why I've recently started taking it more seriously, especially for pixel art, and started learning some color theory stuff, not just the basics, and boy did my art improve because of that. So I wanna share to you guys all the knowledge I've gathered, from basic hue shifting to using a color palette to even the color wheel, so y'all can also improve your drawings!
Enjoy :]
