A Rainbow

There are so many bushes, flowers and trees around the places I now inhabit - every time I think I've found them all, a new one suddenly appears. Each new plant features endless combinations of leaf shapes, colors, textures and sizes. This particular bush caught my eye with its bands of multi-colored leaves.

There are a lot of plants left to draw, but I think I need to expand into other subject matter before things become a little too stale.

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.
