These are various character exploration pieces I’ve been working on lately. <3

I posted these on Instagram and lots of people have asked can they use these as references - the answer is yes but if you use them please remember to credit me and please no direct tracing. 

Also please do not re-post my art, re-blogs are always appreciated though <3

It exists.

With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.

SLAMs THE REBLOG BUTTON

[niyarest]

there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!

[tf2humbug]

Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.

ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.

animation education videos

People ask me sometimes How To Animate, but I’m not much of a teacher so I thought I’d make a playlist of videos from people who can really articulate this stuff!

featuring tutorials for cheap/free animation programs, basic animation lessons/exercises, and demos from professionals!  I’m gonna keep adding to it as I find stuff and I hope people will find it helpful. :>
