Hi!! I'm a new(er) toy house user who's only been following you for a few months,,, I've seen how beautiful your designs and color work are and I just wanted to ask how you mainly get inspo for coloring/markings or themes in general? I use moodboards but I always find myself struggling with things like markings or color layering and making it look nice,,,
thank you!!
hey! thank you <3
honestly i design quite a bit without having a moodboard infront of me, i just like messing with colors, but my better designs mainly come from when i am using a moodboard, often i'll pick a few base colors from the moodboard directly so it matches and then start adding more that resonate with it, i like to start with the 2nd lightest color as base, and then put down my undertone, and then work on layering the 'base markings' (color blocks / large markings like stripes etc) , once im happy with those then ill move on to adding smaller markings around and tweaking the overall design
once im completely done with the actual marking placement i might then mess around with different color overlays, my fav one to do is pink overlays on brown designs bc it gives them a softer vibe, or orange on grey designs.
hope that helps atleast a bit! im no good at explaining
