thank you!! I wish I could give a good response but I think... similar to art styles you kind of just develop a preference for certain colours over time though there are definitely the art fundamentals worth learning (like complementary colours, adding tertiary or analogus colours into the palette). The only example I can really think of is that I really like using chartreuse or olive green for gold and yellow tones instead of actually yellow LOL

I also rely heavily on gradient maps combined with layer modes~

Ty!!

I apologize for such a delayed response!

I really had to think about this ask, as the easiest response is to say that it's "vibes" based. I don't think I have a particular system but I will try my best to use words to describe the vibes based process haha.

The most important thing I think is to use colours that create a harmonious palette in the end, like complimentary or analogus colours, which is actually almost all colours if used in appropriate spaces (also appropriate hue/shades)

For example this chibi drawing I'm working on, the primary colour I used is green and pink. I could either use green (darker saturation less hue) or purple (dark hue high saturation) for the shoe.

if I used a really light blue here it would be a bit more confusing-- breaking up the shape of the shoe. And it also because it's on such a dark colour it clashes with what's meant to be the lightest colour of the overall piece.

hello!

would it be okay to use your moth miku art as an icon? with credit, of course!

and have you considered sakura miku as a rosy maple moth? :3 i think it would be very cute!
