Tim, you are a great human being, I’ve been in contact with Tim over the past week. He is an integrity filled man. I am thankful to have been able to correspond with him via email. Tim you have a fan for life. I’m looking forward to continuing to check in over time. Such a solid standup guy.
Beginner illustrator here, would love to see more of this! Especially the nitty gritty/messier parts of the process and the decision making. I’ll be drawn to color schemes in a few pieces but have trouble translating that into the specific illustrations I want to make (for ex: I see a color scheme or color relationships I love in a pixel scene/landscape art piece, and want to translate that into a kawaii illustration with a simple subject) So I think seeing both specific and general parts of the process is so valuable for someone looking to make colorful work regardless of style! Thank you again
Watching the second Color scheme go from red/orange-purple and then turn into the dominant yellow/orange cover was very cool because often the color wheel schemes are just too harsh. When you enter into the process you can use the wheel and say superman is blue so my background should be a muted orange, and then it all goes to heck. It’s that extra step of making it work that often eludes me. I’m not sure watching you do it there was enough to solve my issues but at least I know I need to work up to that level of thinking. Thanks!
Again, great video! To a beginner like me, this is very valuable knowledge. :D By the way, I love that you always finish by saying "happy drawing" as it is exactly what it means for me and seeing my slow but steady progress.
Thanks so much for this walkthrough! So, when you have a character like the secondary figure whose colors are varied, or brown (or in general runs counter to the rest of the color scheme), do you generally color in their "true" colors first and then go over it with a filter (like blue, as you do here) to make those colors more homogenized? I've always struggled with how exactly to go about that
