    I'm glad I'm not alone in using the clown colors method lol somehow you're the only other artist I've seen who colors this way, I thought I was a freak

    WOAHHHH so good!! With my ref sheets I usually add a color pallet somewhere 🤔 this is mainly be used for fan artists orrrr if the commissioner wants to commission others, then that way the next commissioner will have the local colors. It just makes it so much easier in those senarios.

    Thank you for the helpful video! I don’t know why I never thought to gather some of my past drawings of my character when making a reference for them. I just drew them as I remember which is what I always do but of course it always turns out a bit differently each time. And then I was dissatisfied with the faces because it didn’t look quite right. Still I didn’t think to do this! So silly in hindsight! Appreciate the advice and the ref sheet in the video turned out beautifully ❤

      Hey! I usually use a canvas 3300x2550 pixels with 300 dpi but it varies quite a bit. If there are more details and stuff I'll just make it bigger, but that's the base I use ^^

    Won't the shading and gradients make it harder to get the right colors? At least put all the flat colors in a section off to the side. A reference sheet should prioritize accuracy and readability over aesthetics in my opinion.

    • @theinkcompass
      @theinkcompass  8 місяців тому +23
