[DRAWINGS] Doodles and Finished Pieces 2.0

[Lexou Duck]

Finally finished.

I love Minoriko.
I wanted to prove to myself that I could make something that looks decent without having a lot of knowledge or experience with detail. I specifically went for something simple, hoping that the shading and coloring would bring out the life of Minoriko. Shading and style can make even the most simple of artstyles look incredible.
Of course I don’t think this looks incredible. It’s the first time I ever attempted anything like this. The background looks like it was made by a 9 year old, I’ve never done backgrounds before lol. I have no experience with making water either. Or skies. Or anything really. I did the background in like 30 minutes while I spent one and a half days making Minoriko.

yeah so you drew the actual color your brain thinks there should be on everything, indepently of lighting (grass is green so let's draw it green, etc)
so just to try and aim for a more united palette i played around with color gradient filters on photoshop to show you what you could do

and yeah also that elsa is there cause i also gave this same advice to a guy a while ago
