I'm retarded. My eyes I mean but mentally sure. I've been wanting to be an artist for many years but always turn away because I am DISabled at chasing my dreams. Imagine wanting to be an artist and your art teacher asks you "why is the sky purple?" and in your head quoping with "You dumb bitch it was an abstract piece!". And I like color too y'know some people believe in God and I believe the grass is either lime green or yellow, I got to choose which crayon looked more, fitting to my niche. Either way my lack of understanding color has subconsciously made me lazy at examining colors properly, understandably so, at the cost of developing premature subconscious color-identifying function: Maroon (is fuckin dark red) Perriwinkle (is light blue) Bronze (is green), etc. Drawing everything in black and white is depressing, I've been a teenager I'm past that I want some color in this bitch, but Prince keeps his Purple Rain brewing a storm in my head. Seriously, what do I need to do to get over this hurdle and study colors effectively. Is anyone else dealing with the same issues? How do you get over the insecurity? I'm Protan color deficient scoring 60% on average in my red cone, 100% in my blue and green so it's not terrible but it's been enough to make me insecure learning art completely.
didn't read but you sound like a faggot
>>7875617Fair enough. Dealing with insecurity about making art being colorblind, any advice?
Fact: Color Blind people are the strongest beings on the planet
if your values are correct, color hardly matters. it's kind of cool that you'd accidentally create unique color palates for your work, might stand out more.
colorblind? Nothings stopping you from going monochrome.
just git good at value anf then u can do what u want. at least u can hold ur head up for hours at a time to actually draw, i have a fautige disabillity so i cant
>>7875622you realize that image tells him nothing if he's colorblind, right?
>>7875646what the fuck are you talking about
>>7875647i think he means if hes colourblind he cant tell if the artist of that is colour blind because hes gonna see it as normal. what he fails to realise is that the context of your words and the image imply that anyway, and theres like 14 types of colourblindness so he could possibly still spot the issue
>>7875651There is no issue with the picture if you are color blind though. Less colors less problems = The Strongest.
>>7875615Didn't Monet have problems with his eyes, and that was the entire reasons for his unique style that everyone loved him for? In fact, if I recall correctly, Monet had his eyes fixed, and when he saw how his paintings looked with unfucked eyes, he was so hotly ashamed he started destroying as many of his works as he could - it took intervention from his family to stop him.Anyway, what I'm saying is that fucky eyes aren't going to stop you from making art - it just means your art is going to be different from others, and that should be a good thing if you're willing to lean into it.
>>7875615>he wants to be an artist>without doing the work>all theoriesAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE AN ART TEACHER AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *sniff* BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAH
Literally as long as you can master values you'll be fine. If anything it can unwittingly make your work a lot more expressive than someone who can see all the colors.
>>7875655Monet was actually able to see ultraviolet light after his cataract surgery. It's really fucking sick. You can see the influence it has on his paintings pre and post surgery. Almost makes me wanna get the surgery myself. It's a common side effect of cataracts surgery.
>>7876079Same anon, to add on to this it's called aphakic vision. Humans can see UV light, just that our lens filters it. So when he got the surgery back then, they removed the cloudy lens and he was able to see UV light. You can literally see when he starts seeing UV light and the full spectrum of colors usually available to people, because his work becomes dominated by blues and violets. Very fucking sick.
>>7876081Pre
>>7876082PostThe difference is extremely dramatic. Pretty much any painting of his that you see that has usage of violets and blues is after his surgery.
My father was in artschool at 14 yo when he found out he was colorblind. A deep case of colorblindness.He wanted to be a painter. Imagine the blow.It was a time in my country where you have specific artschool instead of highschool... If you were lucky. And they taught really well, fine arts...So then he inclined himself towards sculpture..He never stopped drawing anyway. He passed in 2021, murdered by the hospital regime during scamdemics.I have all his remaining works. A lifetime of sculptures, inks, prints, drawings, a few paintings.Paintings are amazing pieces. I really love them.He was a succesful teacher and sculptor. Made a bunch of monuments in my town and nearby cities. Sold a lot. And his legacy now is in my hands. I will do what I can to honour his life.I paint myself. I'm not as good as him, not even near his talent and dedication. But I use a lot of colour, I am in love with colourful things.Anyway. There are infinite possibilities. Don't worry, don't limit yourself through the story you tell yourself more than your eyes are. It is a blessing in disguise. For example. One of the most beautiful pieces I have in my home, it is an ink my father painted when he was really young. He saw through the window a scenery in a snowy landscape, a couple of trees and a little fence. and all white. With a couple of strokes with the ink he captured what he saw. Sugestive and spontaneous spots of black on the white paper. Amazing, very zen. I really love it.That is a glimpse of what he was able to see...You can always do Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditations. Any thing can be healed. Even that.Anyway... Commit to a body of work.Don't even blinkYou cannot know what is going to be relevant.Worrying is preposterous.
hey alright
>>7875620I think they have laser therapy for that
>>7875615the helltaker author is colorblind - that's why all the girls have the same color palette
>>787561567
If you colorblindness is really awful, you can just use reference images as your colourpicking source. It's a shame that you'd be unable to pick the majority of the colours yourself, but that's a good way of ensuring your colours aren't atrociously off.
>>7875615Which kind of color blindness do you have?One of my favourite artist has partial color blindness for green and red, but he is still one of the best not only for drawing forms and anatomy, but even for colors too.I know that for coloring he uses references (probably he color picks).>>7875632But things in grey will always feel incomplete in a way.
>>7879840>But things in grey will always feel incomplete in a way. what ab complete black and white like some comics? some styles fare better uncoloured
>>7876084So this probably looked nicer to him than us cause he could see more colors?
>>7880787No. He ended up seeing everything a shade of blue/indigo as UV light is present almost everywhere. If you look at this paintings of flowers, you'll often see these splashes of blue around them. That's him literally painting the UV light he saw bouncing off them as flowers are naturally UV reflective to help pollinators like bees see them, he'd see blue auras/blues around objects where UV was strongest. UV is so ubiquitous, where someone would see dark shadows, he'd see the deep blues and indigos of ambient lighting, the natural bounce lighting from the Rayleigh scattering of the atmosphere, became very intense. The sky is essentially a luminescent blanket of blue color because of how the sun's light and UV light scatters throughout the molecules within it. The reason he would see blue and indigo everywhere, is because while our eyes are capable of receiving the information for UV light, we are limited by the cones in our eyes. Our eyes only have 3 cones, and since UV light is an extremely short wave length, our S cones or blue cones will be the ones reacting the most to it, so our brains will perceive it as blue/indigo. I just love monet's case. I find the entire concept of how light interacts with our eyes so fascinating. To quote Monet,"I see blue, I no longer see red, I no longer see yellow; it annoys me terribly because I know these colors exist."He ended up wearing corrective glasses that are supposed to replicate our built in UV filter to try to see normally. Although we cherish the paintings that came to be because of his eye problems and subsequent unique perspective. He did not. Just goes to show, we can only create and put into this world, we cannot control how the world reacts to it, so there is no reason other than to be true to yourself.
