Tools for the lazy artist

Snowfly

Heheh.. just thought I'd share this. I used to use this a lot, and now I'm thinking I should use it more often. Really helps with your color vocabulary and all that...

Not exactly a 'lazy' art tool. It's just a time saver
And being more speedy isn't lazy!

Nice link, btw. Thanks

Yeah, that's really handy. I remember it from 'Steel Dolphin?'..Anyway, a real time saver - used it a lot making mambo templates.

Whenever I need a color schemer I just do a google search, but I've never come across one as useful as this. Bookmarked... thanks.

Justin Meisse

awesome, maybe this will help me get away from my obsession with brown+orange

Wells

haha. Justin, thats the first thing I did in it. See what it gave with orange, and then with brown.

I tend to only like what it pumps out on the 'monochromatic' style.

Nice link, thanks!

I also like this one, nice for html pages.

Monochromatic is just boring!
The complimentary colour sets are the best. Thanks for the link!

Snowfly

Yeah nice tool isn't it. It does just one thing though, which is contrast hues. Would be nice if contrasted saturation levels too, as those are the kinds of contrasts I like using.

Here's another one. Extracts a color palette from a picture. I use this a lot too.

That color scheme chooser is great! I'd been looking for something like that for quite some time. Thanks!

Good find Snowfly. Both tools can be very usefull. I've used a similiar color scheme tool before, but it didn't have all the options this one offers.
