you are literally so adorable, and it makes me so happy to see your posts on my tl! Also, your art is so good. For some reason, your colors always make me think of floral-flavored hard candy, and I desperately want to eat it! I hope you are well <3
omg thank you!! i just had some plum flavoured floral lollies the other week and it was very refreshing 💐🤍 i've been good and hope you are as well :)
How do you choose your palette? The way you make your digital art, especially the backgrounds, glow is amazing. They look so magical!
Long answer ahead!
I find that an easy way for me to come up with a palette is to stick with one "main" colour. I get lots of colour inspo from other artworks and photography.
-Slowly start adding other hues to complement that main colour. This is where colour theory knowledge comes in. Know your complimentary and analogous colours.
-Don't be afraid to choose lots of beautiful neutrals in your artwork, the more neutrals you have, the more your bright colors will pop! If you have the means to, i find that practicing traditional paint colour mixing with primary colours helped me deepen my understanding of neutrals.
-Use varying hues of the same colour family. This is a good way to introduce lots of colour to your piece without having a messy colour scheme. If you're working digitally, you can tweak your brushes to include colour jitter for more hue variation.
-If working digitally, make use of layer modes and gradient maps to amplify your colours. My favorite layer modes are Overlay, Brightness, Colour burn, and Add(glow). If you're a csp user, you can log in to csp assets to download gradient map packs created by other users. I like to stack up my gradient maps to have more unique effects.
Good luck ٩(•ᴗ•)۶

thank u for ur detailed response abt the inks!!!!! <3 btw u mentioned vinta's sea and sky.... tbh i was initially going for vinta for shimmer inks but i heard they're dry ? like vinta inks in general not just the shimmer ones ig. anyway im glad that was working well for u!!! maybe i'll try vinta first too since they're more affordable compared to wearingeul 😭
ahh i definitely think they're on the drier side !! but they flow well enough for me that it's not too much of a bother :3 vinta's night sky is pretty wet though compared to their other colours !! but i'll still have to test them out though cause i've only had them for two days. i hope you'll enjoy the inks too !! they're so pretty ^q^
what are the inks u r using !!! esp the shimmer ones !!! also what kind of pens(?)/nibs(?) do use for the shimmer ones.... i haven't bought any shimmer inks yet bc i'm afraid the glitters will get clogged +other potential problems 😓 i'm planning to buy shimmer inks from wearingeul soon tho bc i can't resist 😭 idk if i should stick to dip pens with that 😓
hiii !! i'll attach a picture of my collection on the twitter post ^_^ my pens are the TWSBI eco smoke with rose gold and kaweco sport (M to EB nibs). my shimmer inks are all from vinta
i've only tried them on my kaweco sport pens since im also worried about the clogging hahaha. And i figured that it'd be better to use try them on a pen with a converter so that if clogging happens, i can simply flush the pen with it+water.
I haven't had much problems with the shimmer inks except for vinta's sea and sky, though i might have to tinker with it a bit cause the others flow very well. wearingeul's inks look super pretty !! i think as long as you clean out your pens often and maybe just stick to bigger sized nibs, shimmer inks should work well for you. definitely give them a try ✨✨
