Key Ideas from Part 1 of the tutorial:
1. Color is crucial for influencing an illustration's mood and viewer's emotional response.
2. Begin with color thumbnails to experiment with mood.
3. Understanding complementary and analogous colors is helpful for creating harmonious or contrasting palettes.
4. Using Photoshop for color thumbnails allows visual exploration of different schemes and their effects.
5. Applying color theory to rough drawings helps visualize the impact of various palettes.
When planning your Illustration:
1. Consider the environment and key elements within your scene. Determine what colors these components need to be to support your overall color plan.
2. Begin with rough sketches or thumbnail. These initial drafts don't require high fidelity but should outline the composition and major elements.
3. Start by identifying the mood and atmosphere you want your illustration to convey. Color plays a critical role in setting the emotional tone.
4. Introduce a basic color scheme in your thumbnail. Decide whether you'll be using a complementary or analogous color scheme based on the mood you aim to establish, and what is in the scene.
5. Utilize digital tools like Photoshop for experimenting with colors. Layer colors over your rough sketch, exploring how different schemes affect the illustration's mood.

Happy Drawing!

    Thank you for covering such a specific process, Tim. I've struggled with color in my paintings for a long, long time. I would say I still do, and that I don't "know" it intuitively as other artists do, so having a guide helps by leaps and bounds.

    Yes please to the comment on 25:12 to exploring a whole bunch of color schemes. I would like to see that!

    Thank you so much for these slow-paced looks into your actual process. I feel like that's a disappearing form of art videos, but one of the most helpful ones! Thank you so much. I've been wanting to get back into art and to learn more illustration techniques. Been some years since I last got to take an art class, but you're helping me get back into the groove!

    I'd love to have seen how bad the green could look there (34:00). Contrasting what definitely doesn't work with what does.

    this looks like live livestream? you can edit and cut this kind of video because after the min 45 you start talking about analogous color ( contrast ) chromatic circle, we artist dont have too much time to wath extensive video. you could have summed it up. but I will give a nice advice to the artists who reading this comment, read the book ~The psychology of color~ from eva heller, a great study about color and how the colors effect the human.

    Speak for yourself. I've watched the video in its entirety just like I've watched most of Tim other videos in their entirety. They're perfect to have them on the second monitor and draw and paint along. For that every artist has time.

    Yeah, no, KZread already has enough short, summarised videos about art. I've spent ages looking for long-form videos like this with the artist talking while drawing, explaining all his steps and decisions. This is the exact kind of video that I have been looking for because it's a great learning experience that I can just listen to while working on my own drawings. I hate short-form content because I want to just be able to sit back and listen without having to find and select a new video every 5-10 minutes.

    I beg to disagree! I've been loving Tim's longform videos, and this is exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for, as an artist myself. I put this on while I'm working on something similar (e.g. while working on thumbnails!) and it feels almost as if I'm in a classroom with Tim as the instructor speaking. I appreciate the pauses, the silent moments, the "lag" in-between as the drawing progresses.
