Robin, but the Cartoon Network bumper colour palette

[thefuchsianeko]

did that CN palette challenge a few days ago. Hadn’t drawn anything “big” in a while but I saw this going around, and I love this palette so I had to do it using the SDotM crew. Impressed with myself tbh, legit one of my favorite things I’ve made in a while... might revisit it

also did a speedpaint video that had more work put into it than usual

A cartoon network palette challenge! I had fun with cymk

[ID: a white woman dangling from some black vines. She's wearing a cloak of leaves and a witch hat, coloured using cyan yellow and pink. She's sleeping. The background is filled with circles in the cymk colours. She's slightly glitched and there's a chromatic aberration filter applied. Distorted text reads "Ivy" END ID]

Reblogs appreciated

Exercise: Less is more

Task: Identify a palette of no more than three colours that could work in combination. Remember that black and white are also colours. Pick colours that work well together, provide some contrast and can be used as dark, mid and light tones.

Use this palette to illustrate five domestic items beginning with the same letter of the alphabet. Try the same exercise again using only two colours.

I started by brainstorming household items that began with the letter P. 

 I then went around my house and selected:

Paint

Plant

Piccalilli

Perfume 

Pears

I photographed each item both individually and as a composition. As I like to work digitally I like to have each item as a movable object however it is helpful to have both composition ideas and reference to ensure all items are accurately in scale. 

Colour

I uploaded the one of the photos to adobe colour to extract some of the colours. This I felt was a good starting point to start thinking about colour. 

Based on the photos and colours in the photos alone, I knew I wanted to include yellow and blue. Yellow of the paint, piccalilli, pears and the blue of the branding and bottle. 

This got me thinking about a CYMK colour palette which is something I experimented with a lot in my last unit. 

I wondered what effect I would be able to create by using Cyan, yellow and magenta if I were to include a pointalised texture. Would this be cheating or simply bending the rules? Taking advantage of how humans see colour maybe? 

I decided I wanted to experiment with this. As it I would be rendering the image digitally I could easily change the colours should I wish to. 

Initial Sketches

Pen Line work

Work in Progress

Colour Experimentation 

Although I liked the CYM colours I wanted to experiment with other colours. Using the magic wand tool on photoshop I was able to change the individual colours and swap them for others. I used images from my visual reference as inspiration of colour ideas. I also inverted the colours to see choices I wouldn’t have thought of. 

Two Colours

Before experimenting with more colours I converted the image into black and white to see how it would read. Based on the results I made changes to the perfume bottle and paint, making the base colour one tone rather than having tone as it was difficult to read visually. 

I found this experimentation process interesting and am pleased with the overall images generated. I enjoy using limited colour pallets but generally of four to five colours or more. The challenge of creating a readable image with such a small pallet was beneficial and something I would like to explore further. My most successful images are at the top of this post.

Artist spotlight: Samuskiii!

✿ Tumblr ✿

Header source: [X]  

Introduce yourself Hello! My name is Ori, but I go by Samuskiii on the internet. I am 15 years old, and an art student! I love cartoons, such as Adventure Time, Steven Universe, She-ra, and Gravity Falls, to list a few. But overall, my main passion is comics, in particular DC Comics. I've been reading DC for as long as I could remember, and I've grown to fallen in love with the characters, art, and the plotlines. When did you start drawing? Are you a digital or traditional artist? I've been drawing my entire life, but I started to take it more seriously when I was around 11. I am both a digital and traditional artist, but I have a slight preference for digital art. Do you use any traditional mediums? If so, which are your favorites? Yes! My favorite medium is Inks. I love inks, because you can get a great sense of contrast, and it reminds me of comics.

Why do you prefer traditional over digital? (or viceversa) I love both, but I prefer digital because of the control I have while drawing. Also, the undo button. What do you think is the most challenging part about being a traditional/digital artist? Finding time to draw. I'm an art student, and school end around 4, and by the time I get home, its 5. Plus, with extra curriculars, homework, and studying for upcoming tests, it's hard to find time to draw. Even during the summer, I am working an 8-5 summer job. What inspires your pieces? So many things inspire my art. Sometimes its TV shows or comics, and how much I love a character/a character dynamic, or how well an AU would fit into it! For example, I drew a small She-Ra/Batman AU, where She-Ra was Batman and Catra was Catwoman.

image source: [X]   Explain your "everyday" drawing process First, I have to have an idea. Without an idea, I'd just be sitting in front of my screen, waiting for inspiration to strike. And that's just a waste of time. Then, I have to find references. And I use a ton of references, mainly stock photos. Then I have to choose a color palette that will fit the characters, background, environment, and most importantly, mood. And from there I'm ready to draw! Do you have an artist you admire (or more than one)?

So many. Artofkace, kurawastaken, fujifingerz, thechekhov, sixspence, 24cr, sakakikaga, jasker, dar-draws, and a ton of others I'm forgetting.

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing? 

50% of the time I listen to music. Artists I listen to are Mitski, cavetown, Dodie, Liana Flores, Alessia Cara, and some others. The other 50%, I listen to this Youtube channel called Mckay and Gray. The channel is ran by a lovely couple (who recently just got married!), one a comic book artist, and the other a comic book writer. Each video they talk about really important things, such as Bleed lines, Character Design, CYMK, Thumbnailing, storytelling, and more.

image source: [X]   What makes art interesting for you? The story behind it, which is probably what drives me into making so much fan art. What do you do when art block strikes? I don't really have a solution to art block yet :/ What’s the most valuable art advice you’ve ever received?

The whites of the eye are never pure white.
