Here’s a little step by step for the process I used to add color to the b&w sketches! I don’t know if this is the most efficient way to reach this end result, because I was just experimenting for the most part. Hopefully it has something useful that you can integrate into your process!
I think the main thing that others can learn from this process is how it shows my piorities when choosing colors! They are:
- Making sure there’s hue variation between the highlights, midtones and shadows. If all of the values are the same hue, it’s a missed opportunity to bring more life to the color scheme!
- Defining the silhouette: I try to make sure that the silhouette of the figure is interesting and is visible! That means picking a background color that doesn’t make the character fall away too much, and sometimes also adding lighting effects to emphasize it.
- Adding hearts! This is an obvious one ;)
Hope you guys enjoy and have an amazing valentine’s day! Also, have an awesome weekend too! You guys are the best. <3
