Cover design
-
@pamela-fraley arrgh! Tough choice! I also have a penchant for black and white/greyscale images, and it looks lovely as it is. I agree, though, that some spare/muted color would look amazing here!
-
Nothing goes wrong with black and white color, this cover is really simple yet so beautiful. I love every detail of it.
-
@itsjoyce @Eli Thank you! At least a couple people like the black and white.
I feel like it works better since I mixed my own "black" it looks a bit richer I think, but I've been playing around with it in my procreate app and I might add some muted colors. I might actually redo the whole piece as there are a few other elements I'm thinking about sneaking in. I like where it's going and this may become a portfolio piece. -
Beautiful work! I would be tempted to add some pale color to the figure and the title text of the book and maybe/possibly to the corner details as well, but this is where color study comparisons can be extremely helpful!
-
@pamela-fraley I think if you picked one color and just did it muted on the dress it would really pop off the page.
-
This is just some beautiful work.

If you want to know what it looks like coloured I did a quick paint over... Personally I would darken the background to push your character forward. I added some dark to the lettering too. It still has a nice soft look. Just an idea.

@evilrobot Thank you!

@bnewman @Chip-Valecek Thanks for the input! I think I'm going to do a couple little thumbnail color studies and see what I like. @Jason-Bowen Thank you! That looks really cool. I have a tendency to lose the focal point a bit when I start coloring. I like the idea of coloring her and darkening the background. I did a little painting on it in procreate and I think I put a dark green in the corners and blue on her bow. I'll post y ideas when I have a few.

@pamela-fraley sounds good

@pamela-fraley I love this piece! I am in a similar place with my work i think - mostly working in black and white and knowing i want to work in color more - i hope you don't mind my trying to color your drawing! My goal was a muted complimentary color scheme - just a quick thumbnail in Procreate with the Water Brush.... i don't think i really pulled it off ..too saturated?? ...(but i do think that fireflies would look very good in the image) I look forward to seeing where you go with this
-
@kevin-longueil I love that! I was actually hoping people would want to color it. And I was going to try to add in some glowy white flecks to push the magic a bit. I love the idea of fireflies.
