You are just amazing... I have a question...Can you give any tips on choosing the right colors? I always have trouble choosing the colors that fits well together. I'm looking trough your sketches to try and figure out how you do it >:0
@chanuuw Thank you :) It's a difficult question to answer, it depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to create an interesting contrast for example, you can go with the complimentary colors (opposite on color wheel). And for something more relaxing, you could use the neighbouring colors on the wheel. But don't forget about proportions, 70-30% is a good ratio to try out, 50-50% rarely looks interesting. Another aspect to play with is saturation, keep one of the colors desaturated (closer to gray) and the other saturated. I must add that there are no obligatory laws, just more or less reliable paths to a good result.
