Have tried a new technique. Not so many outlines (dark that is) for the background and main character. Am really happy with the result as it feels softer.
Colour schemes
Only in the last day or too I have been studying up on different colour schemes. One such colour scheme that is in the above image is called 'Analogous'. This wasn't intentional either when I did this background. So it was very interesting for me to discover that I am naturally doing this. Kinda cool I reckon.
Definition of a 'Analogous' colour scheme as follows; '..are colours that sit on the Colour Wheel and have a common hue'. Example for above image is the dinosaur (mr bluey) in which he has 1-3 contrasts of that blue hue.
Helpful link for colour schemes
I would thoroughly recommend to check out this artist (on Deviant art) and there helpful tips regarding colour schemes.
As a side note, I have really enjoyed pushing the character design further by way of a background. It just gives so much more context of story for the character.
Take care and thanks for visiting.
