I had done some color scheme studies as part of an environment design class a few months back.
Complimentary color schemes always work well. A good rule of thumb is to have a lot of similar colors with something different. Think about a ratio of 70/30, where you use the color compliment of the primary color scheme sparingly.
If you need help coming up with color schemes, check out Adobe Color.
~~1. Finish at least three Patreon portraits.~~
~~2. Start Death Prophet for Woman in Dota.~~
~~4. Keep up with /r/watercolor101 crits. I think I'm up to date. If I haven't crit you yet, tell me.~~
I learned that I like commercial art and illustration. It is just as fulfilling to me as fine art and gallery showings.
I also learned that if you ask, people will support the art they want to see in the world.
i have several sketchbooks i'm currently using, but only one that i carry around everywhere/do nearly daily sketches in: this one. it takes ink pretty well without bleeding, but the paper is a bit thinner than i'd prefer. if i am just using colored pencils, you can't see the previous drawing on the other side though. the paper has a light cream color and is very smooth, but some pages have this weird horizontal texture. example drawing
Whew! I am impressed. That's a lot of places! It makes sense to utilize any platform available to boost exposure, but it does seem like a lot to keep up with. Maybe I'm might be overestimating the amount of time it takes... or underestimating the importance of getting my work out there. Anyway, I'm sure that once you have a process down, it goes pretty quickly. Do you use something like IFTTT to post everywhere at once?
Thanks for breaking it down! I will create a timeline for getting each account set up (and set up some kind of script to post multiple places at once I think). Do you spend much time interacting with other users on any of those sites in particular?
Cool of you to share! I really love his channel too! :D
I'm also backing his Patreon and the content he puts out over there is super solid :) Well worth it!
I found this on amazon
hopefully it's similar to what you're looking for
