[Traditional Art] The Monotone Dancers! (Aqua and Rosá)

[Traditional Art] The Monotone Dancers! (Aqua and Rosá)




This is a new technique I'm trying out, coloring in monotone (using one type of color) and I must say it's both fun and irritating all at once, fun because it's nice to learn about colors in more depth but totally annoying because I can't go outside that boundary and I like to go crazy colorful! It's a good discipline for me though, sometimes we all need that discipline at times. I highly recomend doing this as a color study or at least as a test of your patience, see how much you can do without getting outside the color type. Both on paper and on computer. I will say that on computer it might be easier to do colors like pink and yellow as from what I've seen yellows and pinks aren't as vast on traditional media as is reds, browns, oranges, blues and purples!

I hope you enjoy my art works here and I hope you try to do something like this yourself, any color you want! Have fun!

Enjoy!

  1. this is impressive! i know how hard that is, using just one colour scale, and your stuff is usually so colourful. very well done, sister, you took on a real challenge and you got great results. and the pink shades look lovely, pink so easily looks washed out but this definitely doesn't.

  2. Yay! Thank you! :D
    Pink is so hard to color without using red to shade it I had to use a raspberry prismacolor that looked more purple than pink but was still pink-ish to add some of the depth, but still was fun!

    I'm glad you liked it! :D

    Impressive stuff, indeed!

    If only I had some of your talent, surely my drawn sheep would have looked much better back then! ;S
