【Lynda高精度字幕由CGSUB.COM独家发布】 Here we are going to see how we can use Kuler to generate some color themes all
derived from one base color and those color themes will be Complementary,
Monochromatic, Triad and Analogous.
And we'll then apply those color themes to our artwork and see what
different results we get.
And in fact I've already done that, let's preview those results.
But before I do that, let me mention that this artwork that we are working
with is an homage to Herbert Matter and Alexey Brodovitch's cover for the June
40 Harper's Bazaar.
So I've already gone and applied the different color themes to the
different versions, this is a Complementary color scheme, Monochromatic,
Triad and Analogous.
I'd like to re-create the Color Triad, so here's how I achieve that.
I am going to go back to my starting point, which is this.
Let me just point out that the different artwork is on separate layers and we
are applying the color through the usage of Color Fill layers and layer masks.
I am going to go to Kuler and a quick overview of how Kuler works, when you are
clicked on to create you select your color harmony rule, you will get five
circles on your color wheel, all in relation to your base color, the base color
represented by the larger of those five circles.
You can drag your base color around to anywhere you like on the color wheel.
You can change your color-harmony rule.
When you come out with a color theme that you like, you can add that theme to
your Swatches panel.
What I am going to do now is turn on this layer.
It's called base color.
And I am just doing this so that I can reliably sample this color again.
This was originally sampled from the model skin color.
So I am going to click on that color to make that color my foreground color.
Then on the Kuler panel, I will click on this button, Add current foreground
color as base color, and there is my Color Triad which I'm not going to add to
my Swatches by clicking on Add this theme to swatches.
I can now close Kuler.
I can now turn off that base color layer.
If I want to concentrate just on these five colors without the distraction of
all the other colors on my Swatches panel, I can come to my Preset Manager to my
Swatches and select all of the unwanted colors and delete them.
So now I'm going to apply the colors to my artwork, starting with the background layer.
I am going to sample the green from the Swatches panel and then press
Option+Backspace or Alt+Delete key, to fill my background layer with that color.
Next, I am going to go to the lips layer, I'll turn on its visibility.
I'll double-click on that solid color adjustment layer, I'll try and move that
out of the way as best I can and then come and click on this color on my
swatches panel to use that color.
Then to the butterfly, turn on its visibility.
Double-click on the solid color adjustment layer, sample the color, click OK.
Now I have two type layers, I am going to use the same color for both.
Sample the blue, Option+Backspace or Alt +Delete key to fill with that color and
then select the other type layer and do the same thing.
So there we see an approach to using Kuler, sampling a color from your artwork,
deriving a color theme from that base color and then applying those colors to
the different elements of your artwork.
