Howdy! My entry to Illustration Friday theme: wool! I had so many other sketches I was working on for this theme but none of them worked...so I drew a quick sheep in Flash instead. I think it worked! I like using a limited colour palette. It just helps so much in making sure that the piece doesn't end up looking jarring or garish. This wasn't always the case. When I was much younger and just starting out, I used to not think of a specific palette before designing at all and the results were normally too bright and saturated with a few colour clashes here and there. Luckily, I learned a few lessons and tricks along the way and nowadays the way I mix colours in backgrounds and characters normally get a lot of compliments.
