@Asyas_illos I like this idea. Thank you.

[erinrew]

@Cayleen Love you’re ideas! Thank you for the suggestions.

Does anyone else get nervous when you start to add color? I need to figure out a process to help me with my color anxiety.

[Asyas_illos]

@erinrew yes! I actually made a comment to @Lee-White on Instagram earlier today about his book mobile, he had one in color and one just in value like sepia colored and I said I needed to do this because I love so many images in value before they even get color I hadn’t even thought to make duplicates keep one in sketch or value and then another in color! Or just duplicate to try different color schemes!

@erinrew It's looking great! I'm loving the purple in the sky. It looks peaceful

[erinrew]

@Asyas_illos Good idea... unfortunately I did not do that with this one, but so think I will start.

[erinrew]

@Jacy13 Thank you Jacy. I work on it a little bit at a time to help cope with my nervousness in laying down color. Kind of like dipping your toe in a cold pool.

[erinrew]

This is my latest version. What’s working, what’s not? Thanks in advance.

@erinrew I really love the concept and the color of the sky plus the smoke but I feel the wood colors and house colors are too muted. I find I want to look at the sky and smoke more than the house

[Asyas_illos]

I agree with @ambiirae there’s so much contrast in the background I feel like you should bring some of that darkness forward a little

[K.Flagg]

I love the smoke design! I would lighten the background instead of darkening the foreground. If you darken the foreground it will be to saturated I think.

[Asyas_illos]

@K-Flagg oh yah even better

[erinrew]

I lightened the sky a bit. I don’t want to go to light with it, but is this better?

[Asyas_illos]

Yes I think it looks better with that little difference!and I just love the smoke detail, beautiful.

@erinrew I think the trees in the background and the snow rendering do not stylistically conform with your smoke and cabin rendering. They look painterly and the rest looks more patterned and line artist (which I like, BTW) I would be curious to see what would happen if you rendered them like your smoke and kept the values the same.
