How to Paint a Cosmic Galaxy Background

June 13, 2017 in YouTube Tutorials, Studio, Tutorials

I had a really great time creating this tutorial for you today. It was actually my first time painting such a cosmic space-y environment so I enjoyed learning it myself as much as teaching it!

What's on my palette:

  • Titanium White
  • King's Blue Light
  • King's Blue
  • Cobalt Blue
  • Violet Cobalt

I also mixed in slight amounts of the brightest yellow parts of Kaya's skin tone in order to help tie the painting together. 

The dark background (that is dry already in this video) is comprised of Phthalo Blue, French Ultramarine, and King's Blue. 

Enjoy the starry night show!
