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
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!
have a nice time coloring your blorbos ✨
