I wanted to show you what it can look like when I try different color combinations for my illustrations, here illustrated with the January desktop background. I usually start off with just picking a color palette that I like, either by browsing photos/illustrations on google, playing around in illustrator, or using one of many color palette generators (google it!). I like Color Scheme Designer. After I have my palette ready, I start applying it to my illustration, and keep changing it around until I’m satisfied. I absolutely LOVE this part of creating an illustration.
