thank you!! I made a little guide :> it’s mostly about hair color picks but this is how I choose my colors in general!
i tend to stick to a similar value with all my colors! the only colors that get a higher saturation tend to be the highlights
and a way to make your colors pop is contrasting your warm and cool tones :> with yaoyao, I have a warm-tone base with a cool-tone shadow and kazuha’s is a little more messy, but the bright teal pops in contrast with the red and warm tones.
this chart is helpful too if you’re stuck on what kind of color scheme you’d like to go with!
I tend not to use pure white/black in my base color or lineart either my whites will either be warm/cool grays depending on the character! and I tend to have cool blue/purple blacks color has so much personality so I love adding lots of it :>
I’m physically incapable of base coloring as a solid color to save my life… it takes a while and most of it is intuitive at this point so it’s a bit difficult to explain for bigger pieces, but I hope this helps!!
