Colored Animals
I stumbled upon this book called Chroma: Design, Architecture and Art in Color (Glasner, Barbara; Schmidt, Petra (Eds.)). They talk about color. Nothing but color. To be honest I have yet to open the book. But I like what I see so far. The goal of the book is to show how important the role of color is to a designer.
In other words, color shouldn’t be an after thought. It should be an integral part of the design. Most of the time, when artists learn to design in schools, the first parts of the classes is to use the graphite pencil (a color less medium) and they start designing. They make sure proportions are correct, shapes are right, positions precise. They even add in texture and value when there is time. Once all these are laid out, only then do they think about color.
The photos I stole of oddly but beautifully colored animals came from the book, but I got them from we make money not art. I love that site. They are honest. The same way I want to be. Look at that cute little rhino. Now remember, color is an integral part of design, not an afterthought! Happy designing!!!!
Say something! 
Welcome!!
redesigndavid.me was created to offer CG artists guidance. I had been teaching Rigging and Visual Effects full-time for some time now and the stuff I’ve learned has been so rewarding, I have no other recourse but to share.In this site, I offer scripts, rigs and tutorials, all products of my own pair of hands–unless specified otherwise. I'll try to share as much as I could of things that I think would make a well rounded CG artist complete.
