May I ask on how you choose your colors when you color your art pieces? It is so pretty to look at the colors of your art, and I want to color like that, but color picking is very hard q-q
here's!! uh, the general areas in the color wheel where i try to pick depending on the vibe
highly inaccurate because tbh i just color pick directly or try to guess the colors from my references and just adjust them to be a little bit more pastel or to the atmosphere
and if i have their colors memorized (such as ink or dream), i just pick by memory or by my modified colors LOL
color your scrunkly!
set your line work to multiply and lock opacity
i use warm tones for white ish colors so uhhh idk whatever warm color from here
color the line work!!!!! ofc, shift the hue depending on the undertones of the surrounding colors
the skull color is a warm off-white, the undershirt is a blue-ish off-white, scarf is warm brown, so on and so on
the multiply function rly helps just blend things into the palette a little more, but if ur confident enough, you dont have to set it to multiply at all for extra variation
minimal shading by just taking the surrounding colors n adjusting the hue slightly n its value n saturation
gives it a very messy cel shaded look! been into it lately and stuff
and then i add a few overlays using the pin light layer mode!
i usually use these two colors together, it gives the right amount of pastel colors that really appeals to me
if you have access to gradient maps, i recommend using them lots!
it makes the pieces look a little more cohesive
the pin light layer mode imitates it n is very versatile if u cant use them though (like me when im just doodling on sai)
that's it!!! that's the basic rundown of how i color
i'm not very well versed in color theory so i can only do very basic color picking tips, but maybe next time i can offer ways on how to color more atmospherically!
Since the designs for Error and Ink sans I felt like updating gradient and eventually paper jams designs (of course no offense to the original designs just an idea to complement ink and error better). Tell me which color placement (L-R = 1,2,3) is the best cause I feel conflicted ><!
I’m personally a fan of like a mix between 1 and 2, maybe keep the Gradient to stay on theme but the black is a little harsh for me. i like the contrast between the navy coat and the soft brown under-piece (gi? yukata?)
Actually the gradient on the bottom piece of gradient’s outfit is based on his base design. I do get it’s not the best colors tho :b. I ended up going with two since it was closes to his old design but if any of you want to draw the other designs I won’t mind! <3
