☆ KIKI - Art Comms Open ☆

i start with characters skin which will decide shade temperature of every other color

then hair and for natural hair colors i don't move the wheel and just go darker/lighter/brighter/duller from where the skin color is, and if there's no way of getting the right one (which happens often with red hair) i adjust skin color. for unnatural just choose shade of right temperature

and the rest is similar process

if theres multiple characters and some are explicitly warm and others are explicitly cool by design one of the groups has to be turned neutral for the sake of this specific art so they won't look green and purple next to each other

if everything looks kinda pale i duplicate the color layer (which i only have one) turn the top one to multiply and lower its opacity

when i struggle designing something new i make a grayscale miniature to figure out how light and dark i want things to be and then do colors separately
