Friend of mine, who is very invested in seeing me continue to advance as an artist, assigned me homework.
Challenged me to try more expressions with the following restrictions:
-Limited Color Palette (7 Colors Total)
-64x64 canvas
-32 x 32 canvas
My takesaways and results were as such:
-Restrictions on colors force me to invest all the effort I can into the general shape and feel of a picture. With fewer colors there are fewer distractions and this was honestly a refreshing challenge.
-Fewer colors forced me to rethink how I outline and shade pieces.
-Swapping between canvas sizes on the fly wrinkles my brain and forces me to think long and hard about what are the most important details in any given piece.
-ART IS HARD
