The Color Map guide with a colorful drawing and pencils
Color is more than decoration

Color can change the way a drawing feels.

It can bring warmth or spaciousness. Movement or stability. Intensity or softness. Expansion or containment.

Sometimes you consciously reach for a color. Sometimes your hand seems to choose before your mind knows why. And sometimes you look at a finished drawing and wonder: why did I use so much red? Why am I suddenly drawn to green?

This guide gives you a language for those questions.
