Your art is so pretty!!!!!!! How do you pick colors and color!!!! All your works are so vibrant yet cohesive hhhh so nice to look at <33
thank you!! I made a little guide :> it's mostly about hair color picks but this is how I choose my colors in general!
i tend to stick to a similar value with all my colors! the only colors that get a higher saturation tend to be the highlights
and a way to make your colors pop is contrasting your warm and cool tones :> with yaoyao, I have a warm-tone base with a cool-tone shadow and kazuha's is a little more messy, but the bright teal pops in contrast with the red and warm tones.
this chart is helpful too if you're stuck on what kind of color scheme you'd like to go with!
I tend not to use pure white/black in my base color or lineart either my whites will either be warm/cool grays depending on the character! and I tend to have cool blue/purple blacks color has so much personality so I love adding lots of it :>
I'm physically incapable of base coloring as a solid color to save my life... it takes a while and most of it is intuitive at this point so it's a bit difficult to explain for bigger pieces, but I hope this helps!!

Greetings, m'lord
I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!
How do you go about choosing colors? Do you have a palette or use filters? Every time I try nothing looks cohesive enough and I don't understand how gradient maps work or if I'm doing it right lol but I really like the colors you use and was wondering what you do!
i don't use a palette, but i do use gradient maps pretty often o:
a gradient map takes the values in your image and reassigns them along the new gradient you've chosen. here's an example below - left side is a grayscale sketch, right side is with the gradient map applied. you can see how the darkest values are mapped to the purple tones, and lightest values are mapped to the peach/yellow.
my cheap trick to unifying color schemes is to choose colors, render an image > flatten and duplicate > apply gradient map > adjust opacity until it harmonizes. (that's my method in procreate, but you can use gradient maps as separate adjustment layers in photoshop and CSP). i still end up doing corrections afterwards, but it's a useful trick nonetheless. hope that helps!
my color tips pdf is now available ! i had a lot of fun with this, i hope you enjoy ^^
