Description
This week's project -- Neena Thurman, aka Domino. The color scheme was deceptively hard to work with, but I'm happy with how it turned out. This particular look is from Gail Simone's run on Domino's self-titled comic, which was a fun read, and the background is a vain attempt to draw attention to her eyes, which I kind of think are the best I've ever drawn. But I think that a lot, so don't take my word for it.

Disclaimer: I’m red-green colorblind. Because of this, it’s difficult for me to tell similar shades/hues of different colors apart, and, therefore, I need to work with very limited palettes when I color pieces. For shading and highlights, I’ll start with a gray base and lighten or darken shades from there, and then add a color overlay (and, for some skin tones, attempt to add a blue overlay to make it less “hot”). I’ve often been told to be bolder in my highlighting and shading, and I’m trying to be so, but… sometimes it still seems pretty tame. I’m just saying this in case you mentioned I need to do that on a previous piece – I’m not ignoring you, and I appreciate the input. It’s just not very easy for me to implement confidently.
