copic bee studies (Patreon)

because traditional mediums have no "undo" button i've been trying to figure out my pallet before jumping into the full sized image.  because the bee girl is yellow, or even orange i decided to go with a complementary coloc scheme, blue and orange. using some warm browns to add shadows 

the first image was my first attempt.  i am trying to be loose and rough so i don't stress myself out on filling in the color just right, the next i tried refining the pallet of the two characters, third was focusing on just the lighting and the final i was trying to get the guy's skin color down as i felt the first was too grey and the second too "florescent"
