      Yes, your linework is great! and I was under the impression that your color palettes were always careful picked.
      I've been wondering a lot about SCBWI, I visit the site regularly and it's definitely a shorter drive for me, would you recommend it to a friend?

        @josegalue25 Thanks! As for the SCBWI are you talking about locak illustrator groups, or the organization itself?

          Tryin' to integrate the process, texture and colour palette to include some environment elements. This is not finished (might get it done today)

          I'm cheating a little with multiply and overlay layers for blocking in the shadows and some hightlights, but for the most part the colours were all mixed.

            @Braden-Hallett I really like the color pallet you are getting. One little thing, the pink flower stands out as an anomaly (ooh big word!) amidst all your nice fall tones. Was it part of your original pallet? One trick I learned to flatten a color that stands out too much is to glaze over it with a very light wash of its complementary color.

            And is that how you spell pallet? Palet? Pallette? Ahhh Grammarly just corrected me. Palette. I have learned. 🙂

                Whenever I need to gain some clarity and organization- I know I can always count on your posts. It's been fun seeing your color exploration. ðŸĪ“

                    @chrisaakins thanks 😃 !

                    I'm trying really REALLY small spots of colour that aren't in my palette. I wanted the wild rose to be wild rose coloured 🙂 It was worth a try, right?

                    The organization itself seems pretty solid. I've only had dealing with my regional chapter. It probably varies from chapter to chapter. But in general, they've been nothing but supportive 🙂

                      :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: thank you. I'm amazed it seems organized or clear at all, lol

                        @Braden-Hallett Lol, well what you present here seems very organized and delineated. I guess behind the scenes might be a different story? 🙃 Either way, your presentation is therapeutic for my scattered brain. ðŸĪŠ

                          Simple 5 value breakdown and first colour test. I really, REALLY like it.

                              @Braden-Hallett I looked at your color study closely on this one. Did you paint with color straight on top of the sketched line work? (I mean this does not look at a color layer, or multiply layer on top of a value sketch).

                              I struggled to get a way to do color study I liked. Layer properties such as (multiply or color) easily makes the color look muddy. My current method is to use hue/saturation adjustment to give my value sketch a tone, and I paint on top of it with a normal layer. I am curious on what is your process.

                                  @xin-li I have a really hard time doing colour studies consistently that I like, too. It's infuriating 🙂

                                  What you see here is a sketch layer set to multiply and a value layer underneath. Overtop of that is a colorize layer (I'm using painter, but I THINK that in photoshop it's a color layer.) A colorize layer only alters hue and saturation, but doesn't change the value.

                                      @xin-li Sometimes I just paint overtop with whatever colour i want, too 🙂 This one though I like as is.

                                        @Braden-Hallett thanks for the explaintion. Hmm. Your colorize layer does not look muddy or overly saturated. I do that as well, I often having a hard time with colorizing, because it feels a bit random. I eventually got something I satisfied, but it feels like a guessing game for me. I think I will just do more of paint overtop with whatever color :-).

                                          I think I redrew that friggin' mouse rider at least 12 times.
