Elk

I added two new colors to my palette - Hooker's Green and Burnt Umber. I figured a nature-inspired subject would be a suitable trial. I have to say, I'm a big fan of both colors.

This time, I tried layering small patches of color together. I wanted to create an uneven blend of various greens and browns to create the shape of the animal. Cerulean blue made it into the mix because...well why not?

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

Twinbee

Trying some new ways of picking colors for my digital pieces. I was not aware that Illustrator has a tint slider. I feel much more confident sticking to a very limited number of hues with a tint and shade for each. This illustration uses only three: blue, pink, and tan. Twinbee is one of my favorite video games - it perfectly captures the weird concepts and bright colors that find their way into my work. Not sure where this pose came from, but I didn't want it to waste away in my sketchbook.
