Simple color and design exercises

A great way to hone your color and design skills is to draw a few shapes on the computer, assemble them in a design form and then color them.


Here I have drawn a circle, triangle and square, all done in line on the computer. You could also draw freehand shapes instead of mechanical ones.


Above I have assembled them into a design, shown are four different possibilities, although many more could be created.


I add colors using the Paint Bucket Tool.


Countless variations are possible, just have fun.





Here I have pulled the designs together by just adding a black background. This is an interesting way to experiment with design and color.
