HI HI i really love your art, the colors are just. so. wow. i wanted to ask if you had any specific way you chose color palettes and shading to kinda get that "opalescence" look?? do u just put down base colors then paint on top or do you build your palette from the beginning? love your gummies dearly!!

hi !! thank you so much, i love your art too !!!

i consider myself to have a very clear mental image most of the time, so i dont really plan the palettes they just come to me😭 when i get visions i try to doodle them quickly, so i can remember the key colors i want to use (if i dont i WILL forget the whole idea i have a terrible memory)

for the trans gumshoe i knew i wanted a lot of pink and blues but i didnt know how to mix them or compose the background, that took me longer than drawing and rendering him lol

the same for the pink jacket + glasses gumshoe ! i knew what colors i wanted to use, some of the elements too this time, but the composition and overall palette just comes to me just messing around until i like it :3

i dont consider myself really understanding of the color theory or anything, but i reccomend always messing with values and contrast more than pre defined color palletes ! i like mixing pink-blue-yellow most of the time, but always messing with the value and saturation to make them contrast ! also how much each color takes on the drawing. i like my art colorful and saturated but readable and with a lot of elements and/or patterns, so i just try to work with that instead of any written rules or steps. the only advice i can give you is to have fun with your art and experiment with colors !!
