Some very experimental thing I did a while back. Don't want it sitting in my saved oekakis indefinitely so here it is.

how do you design a color palette for a background?

Hm, this is the first time anyone has ever asked me this and honestly? I... don't really know how to answer this, I just plop colors down that I think look nice together, haha. I do paint on one layer for the most part and make heavy use of opacity and eyedropping colors, so I guess that helps a lot with making my color choices blend together a bit more? Also I constantly check my values. I'll take a screenshot of my drawing, put it in another art program and then make it gray scale. If things are muddy and some elements aren't standing out much, I'll then adjust or add colors to the pic to fix that. I'm sorry if this isn't helpful, ack this is really hard to explain. I just do things and pray it comes out alright.

Oh, and also if I decide my color choices suck (it often does!) I'll use some layer settings to adjust the whole palette until it looks nicer. Overlay and vivid light are my go-to layer settings for color adjustment.

Ahhh!! Your art is to DIE for!

thank you!
