Description
SURPRISE! ARTSPLOSION TIME! There are three more like this that I will submit (fourth one isn't done yet but it will be this afternoon or I'll be very upset at myself)

Since drawing Mimi in different outfits, expressions, and hairstyles is something I've been really wanting to do, I decided to try it out... But I wasn't satisfied with the outcome, and the ones I drew would make me use a black lineart! So I decided on doing 4 limited palettes. They were originally drawn side-by-side in the same image, but I think they look better solo (and also you can focus on one image at a time). I had a LOT OF FUN doing these and I think they turned out wonderfully, so I hope you think the same.

So, here's Mimi Palette #1: Flowers and Ponies.
I'm still trying to learn proper anatomy with Mimi, because she is (as I've repeatedly stated) my only character with a large chest. It's more difficult to keep the anatomy proper with people with balloons on their chest than with people with average or small chests. I also have to watch and try to keep her as non twiggy as possible. Mimi is a healthy weight and she is decently thin, but she is NOT a twig. But... I've drawn Mimi a million times, and I'll draw her a million more times and I'm bound to get her completely right someday. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun doing this one. The colors work really well together.

Funfact time!! Mimi only puts her hair up in a ponytail when she's cleaning the house, which is usually partnered with a tank top or something similar with blue jeans. Another occasion in which she has her hair up is when she and Kiari have girl-time, in which they braid each other's hair. Gotta have AT LEAST a few minutes away from the males of the house.

Mimi and art belongs to me <3

OHMIGOSH JADE. Her hair looks BEAUTIFUL in a ponytail! And I love her face. She looks so kind. <3 All your limited color palette pictures look so amazing, how do you even do it?

Ahhh thank you! <3

She is kind! Well, I mean, in general. xD

And thank you very much. I don't even know how I started doing limited palettes, but I know I liked it a lot the first time I did it. Limited palettes allow me to do the painty style that I've always wanted to achieve with digital artwork and they let me do more of my own thing (It's hard for me to get rid of lineart/do a colored lineart outside of monochrome schemes or limited palettes, and I hate black lineart more than anything). I'm confident that I'll be able to do the style I want to do without limited palettes one day, but I'm having fun practicing and working with colors and mixing them until then. (I especially hate painting in real life so this is a good alternative for me xD )

That being said, I can't exactly tell you how I do something, but when I get nice internet connection, I would LOVE to do a livestream someday.

Man, I really wanna learn how to use limited palettes... They sounds like so much fun!

Oh hey, that sounds cool! Of course, I probably would never be able to see it. Library internet connection. |D

Well they're not hard to learn. You just get some colors and start doin' whatever. It's up to you on how you will apply the colors to make the picture you want to make c:

Ah, so we BOTH have sucky internet. ;m;

I like Mimi <3 Reading the facts about her do make me like her even more, also she is quite a wholesome character in overall as far as I could see

cluelesscomedy123 In reply to StellaRim [2012-07-12 11:35:59 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! This one was probably my favorite, too. The green goes surprisingly well with the pink. Gosh, this is why I love limited palettes. Such nice surprises : D

Ahhh I'm glad you like her! She's one of my most developed characters and I love her to death (also she's my first character ever made), so I try to put that into my drawings of her as well as the descriptions. I draw her a lot, so I might as well say who she is so people can get me (i guess!) : D

Hehe, I suppose! I love all of my characters, though, and I try to develop all of them. Mimi's is the most developed for obvious reasons (she's existed the longest. SO OLD) but yeah xD
