*has casually been stalking your Tumblr while waiting for things to render* Do you have any specific way you chose your color schemes? Also, what's your process of creating OC's? And any tips for anyone aspiring to become a commissioned artist? Sorry for all the questions...

hi!!! dont apologize for your questions! feel free to message me here or dm on twitter at any time :) im always willing to answer!! i on the other hand would like to apologize for actually being the worst at giving advice so HERE U GO

in regards to color schemes i have a really good eye when it comes to picking colors that scintillate well together (which can be a good thing if you want that, but that isn’t necessarily the case LOL) In some of my more recent models I picked a large range of colors that seemed to work together!! i dont know how i did it but my thinking process was basically> what color does a pond look like? yellows, greens and blues? what colors are interesting when you use them in shadow with those colors? purples and reds! this basically led to a complimentary and analogous color scheme happening in multiple places but they didnt clash and meshed well together. if i find colors clashing, i will try to ask myself why they dont look good together. is it because the color doesnt match the scheme or does it take away from the overall composition? i hope this helps??? IN TERMS OF OCS... i dont really take care of my children all too well?? i have 7 children, S E V E N!!! i am constantly rehashing them, changing their names and appearances since i’ve had them since i was 10! but for two years now i haven’t changed their appearances because i’ve finally settled down with an iconic look for each of them that i genuinely feel like, is them! (their names are still constantly changing)they like to thrive in my brain but when it comes to fleshing them out i have a really hard time. Concept art and character design arent really my strong suits, so i try to come up with characteristics that i want to see in a person, and what i see in people that i dont really like. Those two things can make characters more believable in my eyes? 

in regards to becoming a commissioned artist, just do it! theres nothing stopping you or holding you back! definitely dont undersell yourself too! you dont have to aspire to be an artist if you are already one :D
