What's your favorite coloring technique for making icons? asked by

aurora_amethyst .

Sorry, this was supposed to be yesterday's but I couldn't get time so here it is. :D

Soft and saturated colouring. When I say this, I mean somewhat pastel colours but the overall icon to not be muted, though muted colouring is one of the techniques I enjoy doing. I like it when the colours overall give an impression of pastel look but the subjects stand out and the overall icon still has distinct colours visible. I’ll add some examples to get an idea, haha!

I also really love contrast in colours, where the colours are either complementary or just not at all a shade close to each other. Here are some pretties!
