after a few comments on my color, i decided that it was indeed hurting a bit and decided to give it a bolder approach. thanks to kyle for pointing that out to me. here are the rest, side by side to show you exactly how the values change.
i’ve always had problems finishing any drawings i start. recently i started working with a new method that i thought would help with my personal lettering/illustration pieces. so far, i think it’s working out, i just need to relearn how to use color creatively. sometimes it’s hard to get back into the swing of “art” when you do it day in and day out as a designer.
