be economical for colouring

just relised several things while I am doing the background painting. since it's all done digitally, and the main tool for creating shading is the paint bucket. in a way, it gives a really nice and smooth gradiention but also has a nice control to the colours which doesnt let the hue go too crazy.


Someone probably wondering that if the full digital produced image would make the image looks artifical. I suppose this is all depending on how the final rendering works with the picture. since the one I am working on right now is a interior scene which all the elements are defined as man made object. So it will works.

And for colouring, I was saying that the gradient tool has a nice control of colours. the same principle would also works on free hand paintings( i mean digital painting without using stright line or path tools). If 2 colours could explain one thing there is no point for using 4 instead, unless it's done for a reason. such as secondry, tertiary or even quaternary lighting and etc. after all there is a reason that people says keep it simple. however why not being ambitious then?

anyway, we will see how does this goes.
