    Sat down and drew something. Results inside.

    Haven't really done this since primary school. Used whatever was to hand, mainly an A3 paper and markers. So yeah.
    If you would like to leave your opinions, do so in large(r) letters, but not capitals. The more important you deem your opinion to be,
    The larger the letters. Questions should be written in ordinary sized letters, but they should have a nice color, because fuck logic.

    It's an interesting use of negative space. The colors aren't bad, but I feel like it's a bit on the plain side. (I almost feel like I'd love to see a really strong hit of a dark color somewhere, just to anchor the piece a bit more? Not entirely sure where, though, if I was being honest. I think it'd require some experimenting.)

    Colors aren't the strong point of markers. Or scanners. Especially Yellow got fucked over hard. I also thought about coloring something in with marker (wow that is some high level technique :3) But not sure where to put it. As I was drawing on a paper and had no way of removing marker, I left it at the point I liked it best .

    Thanks for your pointers. Will remember them when next I do something like this.

    Markers can definitely be problematic, especially when you get into lighter colors. Do you have Photoshop or anything? It might be interesting to just play with the piece and see what you can come up with for adjustments.

    I already saturated the colors as much as i could with my VERY VERY limited knowledge of the magical world of Photoshop. When it first came out of the scanner the colors looked kinda like barf, put together :/. But I'll see what I can do. Should learn some Photoshop anyway. Suggestions for what to try?

    Play with the overlay / multiply layers. Adding lighter or darker colors over things may give you some interesting results. Do you have a tablet or are you working with a mouse?

    Here's a tutorial I did a while back about how those layers work. (It might be helpful if you're not familiar with how they work.)
