Practical Pigment Mixing for Digital Painting

I hope this gets brought to Procreate.

I’ve always had trouble handling color when painting digitally, despite immediately grasping it when painting with oils. I knew there was something off about blending but this was my first time actually seeing a side by side—it finally clicked why it’s wrong (and it reminds me of another recent HN post about CSS gradients and avoid the gray zone).

Nice! Artrage[1] has had this functionality since 2013(!), and I'm honestly surprised it has taken so long for this to show up in ( literally any ) other software;

Oh that's lovely! I hope this gets integrated into more software soon, though I'm definitely going to check out Rebelle [1] that has it now. It'd be nice to be able to do realistic watercolors without having to actually break out the watercolors!

thats quite interesting.

Also from that same site : https://ebsynth.com/ Making a digital paining a moving object using video frames... damned clever. I feel inspired to draw/paint again just to play with it.

Without downloading and trying it out myself, I'm skeptical of the claim that Corel Painter doesn't mix colors correctly; this is one of their main selling points. I suspect they just left it in RGB mode instead of switching to CYMK mode. Can anyone confirm?

I think the talk video (last on the linked page) does a really good job of explaining the problems surrounding natural vs digital (RGB) pigments mixing, and how the Mixbox folks overcame them to create good-looking outcomes.

You're an actual saint! Thank you so much!!!
