FawnCat Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 This challenge is to help you learn to use a limited color palette and get better at drawing one thing. ย 1. Use an app; online random color picker or just let someone pick for you so you have 5 different colors for seven days (I used:ย http://colormind.io/ ) 2. Pick what you want to draw for seven days (remember you can only draw that one thing) using these colors, e.g. Niche, animals, fruits, people, backgrounds... 3. Hopefully enjoy it. Or just see how I struggle because I'll be posting them here.๐ I'll be doing Niche art and here are the only colors I'm allowed to use for each day when drawing them. (Not sure if I should have posted this under Challenges?) ย 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnCat Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Well here is day 1. I'm going to allow blending/blurring or else this would have looked even worse๐ I'm only happy with the shadow. The Background is horrible๐ญ Didn't know what to to because the teen niche is already so yellow. So I still have a lot I want to improve ๐ 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnCat Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 On to day 2. I tried the dark purple for the line art but with my art style it looked a bit off. So I decided with day 2's colors being to hard to create shadows that I liked, I switched to a cute style. Simple design and color, nothing to complicated. I didn't really improve on yesterday's but this style is so cute and I'll like to explore it a bit more. We'll see what the rest of the week brings ๐ ย 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnCat Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Today is day 3! I tried to do a bit more with the background because I was really not happy with day 1's BG ๐ I also tried to improve the shadows with crosshatching (But think I made it to big๐) So I definitely want to improve on those finer things. I ended up using the dark purple on the blue as a shadow and it worked out (I was so shocked๐ฑ) Then thought 'oh, shadows are more than just one color' So another thing I want to improve on. The list is getting longer...... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is getting longer...... if you want help with back lighting, it tends to 'wrap' around and give them a 'halo' it's ''glowyer'' in areas thinner (EG mane or neck fur) and darker in areas with no sun (EG middle of body) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FawnCat Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Boom Bang Day 5. Didn't add shadows because today I tried to improve the pose of sleeping Niche. And tried a background with only 2 colors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnCat Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Day 6 is here. I focused on facial expressions today. I must admit the little niche in the back is my favorite thing of this picture. There is a lot I can improve on๐ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
