Glossolalia
just happy to be here
When I'm not drawing my already established characters, my process for furry art is usually:
-doodle improvised characters in pencil until I have a drawing I'd like to finish
-ink drawing
-scan and colour digitally
At this point I almost always find myself endlessly switching around the colours in GIMP. It's fun and relaxing, but sometimes it can be a huge time-waster when I just can't seem to settle on one. Usually I'll have a vague palette in mind based on the vibe the character gives off, but I'll keep second guessing myself. Or worse, I'll find a colour scheme I absolutely love, and then I'll wonder if I'm "wasting" it on this character.
I was up into the wee hours playing around with the colours on this guy. I eventually decided to post the deep purple one, but I'm still not entirely set on it.
Does anyone else get hung up on colours? Is it easier for artists for whom colour selection is an earlier part of the design process?
