Thank youuuu :>

hello and thank you so much!

i usually start by choosing a light, saturated color (mostly yellow) and then block in flat colors with a low-opacity brush (around 40–50%). after that i mostly color-pick and adjust while rendering.

i don't separate lights and shadows into many layers, they usually develop naturally during the painting process. i also use tools like gradient maps and selective color in photoshop a lot, they're great shortcuts for exploring palettes :D

i think the most important thing is understanding color theory. those tools can help a lot, but knowing how colors interact, contrast, and affect the mood of an image makes choosing palettes much easier:)

Hopefully this doesn’t come off in a weird way I’d just really love to pick your brains as a fellow artist, but really no worries if not :3

Either way, you make really awesome art! Have a nice day

hello and thank youu very much!!

ughhh the process is really messy, usually I'm starting with pallete that has some kind of underpainting (usually yellow, orange, green), black lines are above and then I just render

I think a lot of work is doing brush with low opacity, slowly building layers, I edit the opacity the whole process, it depends how I want the lineart and colors work
