Colorpalettes

I saw "Un monstre A Paris" / A Monster in Paris with my sister the other day, and can definitely recommend other animation-movie interested people to watch it. It was sweet, looked beautiful and had some charming characters too. Shame it was not shown in danish cinemas.

Having watched the movie and its surprime color-combinations from Aurelien Predal made me want to sit down and just experiment colors myself. This is what came out of it!

Proces:

This piece may not be for everyone.

But it's certainly a part of me, that I haven't previously explored artisticly. I've wanted for quite some time to do something that involved the following things: lineart, wakfu-style, fluidity, happyness, sweetness - and hopefully I managed to capture some of those keywords in my piece.

Inspiration: Xavier Houssin (Wakfu-style) and Britney Lee

Color studies

Really started to like looking at color scripts/lighting keys after reading "The Art of Pixar" recently, and since it's a personal desire to improve my skills in this field, the natural solution would be to do color studies myself. Formerly I've done color studies mostly just picking the colors from the original pictures - however, this does merely challenge the painting-aspect of it, and not so much finding, seeing and creating the colors from the ground myself.

Results follow below. Next challenge will be to do some more low-key indoor ones.
