OMG. Midnight discoveries...

...sounds like a bad porn title, but is really what I just realized about art. I was drawing this guy on OpenCanvas, and for no reason I decided to add a little purple around the eyes, makeup or something. And it looked nice. So I added some random purple to the arm. And it was good. So I splotched purple everywhere for shading, and added more colors, and made things darker and changed hues wildly (which I usally NEVER do) and then made two realizations.

a) Contrast and different colors for blending is good, and I will never color the same way.
b) It was one am. Another late night. -sigh-

By the way, my mum bought be Fruits as an early Christmas pressie. It's a glossy picture book that is completely made up of photographs of Japanese peple in crazy awsome clothes. Poeple who's outfits are unique, fashionable, or just homemade are featured. It's fantastic refference for poses, names, oufits(of course!) and hair.

Okay, gotta sleep now. More to post tomorrow. 'night, all.
