hi can I ask about your coloring process of how you choose color or blend? I love the colors on your art so much
aaah thank you anon! <3
i actually am very inconsistent with my process, but lately i've been using this one:
basically, after putting down a base color layer, i duplicate it and set the copy to soft light. i do this right underneath the sketch, i don't really do lineart.
then i start painting in the original base color layer. tbh, i just go with what feels right, and a lot of it is also trial and error!! my rule of thumb in most of my paintings is this though: colder and darker colors towards the bottom of the canvas, warmer and more vibrant colors for the face/hair/upper part. this isn't always applicable to every situation, but i find that it works in a lot of character-focused pieces!!
then it's just rendering, defining and giving directions to blob of colors! i play a lot with correction layers, but i have to be careful not to overdo it and end up with something super saturated akdhhdj
the layer-set-to-soft-light tecnique is actually @/say0ranarts 's idea!! i saw it around a month ago and found out that it works for me. before that i just used to have a base color layer and paint everything else on a layer over it. when choosing colors i always think about light and how every object interacts with another (you'll notice that the parts of akechi's outfit nearer to the throne are redder, in this case), so i'd say that that is the most important thing!!
thank you for the question and sorry for making such a long post, i wanted to be as clear as possible >.<
