Color Roughs


They are a way for you to nail the color scheme of the painting you're getting ready to produce. The color rough can save you loads of time in the final paintings. If you are serious about your color rough you won't have any guess work in the final.... They are very gestural and should just point out the color scheme, the overall color harmony in the piece to come.

Of course the color of your work should convey some kind of mood and emotional backdrop in keeping with the story you're illustrating.

COLOR ROUGHS:

Color roughs are not detailed at all. They are a way for you to nail the color scheme of the painting you're getting ready to produce. The color rough can save you loads of time in the final paintings. If you are serious about your color rough you won't have any guess work in the final. Don't get noodly! They are very gestural and should just point out the color scheme, the overall color harmony in the piece to come.

Of course the color of your work should convey some kind of mood and emotional backdrop in keeping with the story you're illustrating. But try to pull out the stops here, really move the viewer, immerse yourself in these stories! That's your job as an illustrator!
