can you do a coloring tutorial? Or share some resources?? I’m obsessed with the way you paint omg

sorry for being so late, hello and thank you :) will try my best!

sadly i haven't actually consumed a tutorial since 2020 ive just been balling through it for the past few years but i passively absorb from other artists. my biggest inspiration for color is harumaki gohan :)

im not good at teaching so please bear with me. when starting a piece i go for one base color in mind for the whole composition, and build the "light" and "dark" of the color scheme with tones that are relative to the base color. (which i lay out with gradient map) i keep the subjects (characters) to the light part of the color scheme so they're blended in the environment but still stand out. i try to keep a distinct tone contrast (color curves feature helps)

ive uploaded a coloring process with pictures on tumblr so here: https://www.tumblr.com/piercemybluesky/721390093792903168/i-really-love-how-atmospheric-your-art-is-your?source=share
