Using
and selecting the correct colours to use for your IPA piece is
one of the most important aspects of the overall work. Having
a bright toxic green house with purple highlights isn't the best
thing anyone would want to look at. Just imagine your building
or scene, as it would look if you were standing right there. Whether
it be bright plastic style, or mid-tone natural colours, it's
still your choice. The only thing you have to consider is making
the right choice of colours to suit your piece. Using an example
of my work below, you can see that I don't really like to use
bright colours all that much. Although the colours aren't the
prettiest, I think it adds to the overall theme and feel of the
piece. If I were to say, create a fun game scene or children's
style piece, I would opt for the brighter and happier colours.
Remember, if you are unsure about your colour selection, divide
the palette sheet in MSPaint into thirds. Then pick your colours
from the middle third. This way, they won't have too much contrast
or too little.
