Among the three variables that determine digital colour: Hue, Value, Saturation, the last gets misused the most. Here's a few thoughts on avoiding eye-ache for viewers ;), and have fun with exploring all the possibilities that arise from a broad range of saturation in your pictures!

"Ranarh's tiny tips" is a collection of iddy-biddy tutorials, each containing small bites of advice anyone can chew, aimed at beginner's level artists. They are not software-dependent. If there's a problem you have, something you feel someone should finally explain, or are just curious what I have to say on a particular artistic issue, feel free to tell me.


You'll find the whole Tiny Tips Collection, plus some full-grown walkthroughs in my tutorial section. Check out my blog and website for exclusive tutorials, walkthroughs, and tips.

Art is a lot of experimenting (and they say it is not a science ;).
Glad you like it. Thanks!
