About the video: Figuring Out Color
Overview
“Like before, this part of the process will come pretty easily if you’ve built a good set of references in our previous lessons.

I’m no master of color myself so I’ll bring up some basic color techniques to keep in mind, like Mother Color. Choosing the right colors for your piece is something you’ll be iterating on every step of the way up until you finish rendering it, so even if you’re not 100% sure of what you’ve made at this point, no worries, you’ll be able to make updates. ”
In this video lesson Zach Soares addresses the topic: Figuring Out Color, which is part of the Domestika online course: Introduction to Voxel Art for Character Design. Think outside the box and bring your characters to life with Qubicle, Maya or Blender, and Unity.

Zach is a French Canadian self-taught Voxel artist living in the UK. Although he has almost a decade of experience in working in the game industry, Zach initially studied Urban Design. While creating 3D designs for cities, he started exploring game design on the side, which spurred him to further explore and understand the world of game development through Voxel art.
His stylized and clean Voxel art has led him to work with many small-scale projects for indie developers, as well as for larger projects with clients like Hipster Whale. Zach works on freelance projects and is the creative director of his own studio Bunnyhug, currently creating their own game that is soon to be launched.
