color studies 17 April 2024 — apo nattawin (pop edition)
timelapse below the cut (original sketches here)
wanted to play around with various styles and apo's skintone because i struggle with color and color pallettes on a good day but add in skin tones, and i feel like i'm going bonkers.
i especially love playing with unusual backgrounds and line art, so that was what i explored here. making an outlandish color choice in the hair or line art and then working to balance that choice into something cohesive.
obviously inspired by andy warhol's pop art, the watermelon colored apo was directly based on one of his marilyn monroe prints.
I'm so ill about these guys I'm even putting them in my color studies. Embarrassing.
The sky and the moon have been especially pretty in daylight lately and it kinda reminded me of how sam draws moons soooo. I had to do something about it
I just realized I never posted any of my environment studies. I guess it’s because I always found it out of place from my fanart and stuff but like…who gives a shit.
this is a art studie of coloring, composition, hair and pose, and to get me a little more comfortable in doing fanart,i do not intend to ofend or steal the artist's of the original works, if any of them see this post and would like me to take theyr art off of it i for any kind of reason will do so.
the artist's of original pices are:
@ggelos_ on twitter
@Yeuko_ on twitter
im not sure who is the artist of the aether and lumine art please let me know
I can hear my art professors in the back of my head everytime I whip out my iPad to draw saying “push your colors, push your darks”, so this is my valiant attempt to shut up the voices in my head.
