ColourFULL Vector Art: GREEN

GREEN

In a series of vector art features, I'm going to be featuring key colours to help inspire and give thoughts to some of the key building blocks of art. In this feature, we're looking at the colour green.

Green is associated with growth and the environment. It can also have negative associations such as jealousy and toxic slime/snot! It can be used to emphasis how organic or natural a scene is, but can also show the emotion of envy from a character. Being "green" is often seen as being supportive of the environment by recycling, cutting carbon emissions and more. When using green in your art work, maybe consider which side of the spectrum you're trying to convey!

What is Vector Art?

In digital art there are two layer formats: raster and vector. Raster formats are based in pixels and vector is based in paths and points.

When you resize a raster image, you are expanding the pixels. Your program has to try to estimate what the colours would be for the additional pixels created. Due to this, the image loses it's clarity and creates a pixel effect.

When you resize a vector image, you are increasing the distance between the points. Due to this, the image doesn't lose it's clarity and doesn't pixellate.

The key element of vector is that it's infinitely scalable without any quality loss and it's why we love it!

Get inspired, here are great examples of vector art where green is either a key colour or is used to emphasis an element of the art.
