So, I really, really want to experiment a bit more with coloring in my art in general, especially in my comic. I want to stop just seeing a tree and coloring it green and brown, I want to play around more with colors and set the mood better.
Because of that I decided I wanted to try pushing the coloring in my comic so the page's main colors reflected the mood and all that.
In the first pages I've been making a point to draw colorful, bright pages, with lots of green (it's mc's fave color as well so that's a plus lmao). An example:
They're not all
as colorful but you get the idea.
Now, things are going south and that's when I wanted to get more experimental with coloring. Having more yellowish colors when mc's is in danger or scared, bluer hues for when he's sad as frick and all that. I did this on the last page and, since there were almost no actual bg, they were just blocks of colors, it worked nice enough
But now I'm working on the next page and.... It didn't work quite well? I think I just went too far lmao. A friend told me it looks as if the characters were in a enchanted forest and another told me it looked like it was autum because of the leave's colors, so I really should fix this x'D
Do take into account the page is not finished. I still need to color some stuff in the bg of the last panel, add clouds, adjust colors, delete some lines, add details, shadows, etc.
Should I just leave the trees and everything be its natural color? How can I keep the color palette and not have it look weird?
I'd really appreciate some input (and good examples for this if you can think of any), I really want to make this right but I'm still very very green x'D
