Welcome to Colors, Swatches and the Swatch Libraries is going to be awesome, I will show you how to
find out about colors and how to color your artworks according to certain themes.
We're going to keep it simple and easy.
So let's take our butterfly here.
This is the best example.
Has a lot of colors you can come to file open.
And please select Butterfly step to the last one.
First of all, which color mode is this document?
In the beginning of the course, I was totally not careful about the color mode.
We went to the letter, be set to open a new document and we created CMYK document.
Now we know better from the previous texture.
Let's go and change our document to RGV.
Now we can work with RGV because our butterfly is not going to be printed, is just going to see it
on the screen.
How did you used what was Whiskas selected a shape, for example, went to the field, if it is for
the field or the stroke clicked on the color, and here we had two options, the swatches over here,
there are definite number of colors with some shading and stories like this and the mixer.
So usually how would you use the mixer here?
It can come over, start choosing a color.
OK, this is pretty tedious.
Telling the truth the way I prefer to use it is to select a color from here.
I selected the orange, click on the orange and go to the mixer.
Now, OK, in the mixer here, I can try to change the colors the way I would like.
OK, coming over here to select the colors are really, you know, very uncertain.
What's going to be selected is a bit random.
But this is the way to select colors, that is better than that.
Let me do this twice, I think three times, four times.
Five times, six times.
How many colors are changed?
Let's go to window.
And one important window is the swatches.
I'm going to click to open it now, it can open anywhere, let's put it on this side here on the left.
One nice things that you can do if you want to recall, for example, this butterfly is to come over
to the swooshes here and click and drag.
Let's make this one this green.
This is darker green.
You see, this is, you know, some darker green color and choose the color from here, OK?
What a coincidence that I chose the same color.
So I actually you can click and drag and drop the colors.
It will help you a lot in recovering your artwork.
But now you're not, so here I have a kind of folder and another one here.
How do they appear?
Well, if you come to this little button here, it looks like books standing up.
It is the Swatch Library's menu.
If you click on it, you have all kinds of colors put together to make your job a bit easier.
For example, we are working here in nature.
Come to nature.
I have beach flowers, foliage, something like this.
Let's take this butterfly, for example, to landscape.
I'll make this one bigger by clicking under here and stretching it out.
These are the combination of cars or cars put together Swatch cars, of course, that can help me,
for example, to work on my butterfly.
I could simply decide I want to use this folder over here, not as what happened as soon as I clicked
on the folder, it was put in my Swatch library.
So now it is under the file here.
Such as, you know, this just over here, I can select it from anywhere, in fact, not so select in
the same way and delete it.
Let's say we want to work on the last one here.
These are colors that you want to give to our butterfly, can click the first one and just drop it.
OK, the second one.
And Robert, click on this one.
And Robert, so I'm very happy with these colors.
And I want to continue watching to see if I could move this one up here and start working from here.
And it's inside my field, as you can see, very practical.
Now, I will delete this one because we want to put others and say, delete the switch, Alexian.
Yes, remove it.
Come to the SWASH library, you can come from over here.
Let's go for good stuff, for example.
In the Good Stuff, I like this one very much, by the way, I'm going to put it up here and not it's
not very different from this, but it's better organized.
So let's see here.
I want to work on the kids stuff, the click and drag click and drag, something like this.
And it's awesome.
Now, let me turn your attention to something a bit special.
I would come over to swash library Munu is from here or here is all the same and we go to baton.
And I'm going to take a decorative one or let's take the basic ones and the dots.
Let's say it is not a folder by color.
Now I can simply select, click on it and drag it to my butterfly.
It's going to look good somehow.
And these are pleasant colors, but not this.
This is a feel.
This is not like a brush or something.
And unfortunately, if you stretch is going to stretch with the shape itself.
So you need always to stash somehow, proportionally.
These are the patterns you can come over and play with them, they are very nice, you can use them.
And the other one, for example, that is quite useful is the skin tones here, their skin tones.
It's always difficult to choose the skin tone, but let's say you're working on a graphic and you want
the skin tone, just click on it.
It comes over here and you can start changing your output.
This was a brief introduction to swatches and the Swatch libraries.
It will help you a lot as a beginner to recall all your artworks or have a certain collection of colors
that you can work with, not as this one is called, rainbow.
This one is called Bright.
You can find it.
This one is called Skin Tones seven.
So you have the names and you can go back and maybe use them.
This was about swatches and I hope you can come and use them and do some awesome artwork.
