There are many different methods when it comes to coloring an image. The way that is covered in this tutorial is quite easy for giving quick colors, though it probably works best when working on a smaller scale- mainly because a lot of detailed coloring work is omitted.

Of course, you can always use the Eyedropper tool to pick up the different colors one at a time, but why not quickly get all the base colors in one go?

In this tutorial, I’ll be covering how to grab your colors in Photoshop and then load them for use at any time. It’s really a very simple method that many people don’t think to do, but I personally find it immensely useful and time-saving.
