Color realism

Color begins with value.

Palette comes after structure. Light, contrast, placement, and skin tone guide every color decision so the final piece feels dimensional and balanced.

The approach

Vibrant does not mean uncontrolled.

Tony builds color from a strong value map, separating focal points from supporting detail and adapting temperature and contrast to the body. The result is expressive color with a clear visual hierarchy.
