BW to color

 


For my project, I wanted to choose a picture that wasn't just a selfie. I chose this picture because of the flower details in my dress. I thought the flowers would be fun to change the colors of and make an interesting project. The first design I did was the analogous one. I really liked the boldness of these colors. I thought they all matched together nicely and would accent the design in my dress. I stuck with using four of the colors for the flowers in my dress, and I used the first pink color for things like my hair and shoes. I wanted to do a background color, so I stuck with that same pink color. I made the background color very light, so you could focus on the other designs. I added the blue trees for some extra pop in the background.

Next, I worked on the triad design. These colors had the purples again, but changed things up by adding the yellow and greens. Instead of having different colors in the dress, I stuck with making the flowers all yellow and using this color in the trees as well. I wanted to add a pop of color again, so I did the green hair. Then, I used purple to highlight the deck which is something unique from my other designs.

Lastly, I did the double split complementary design. This color palette was my favorite because the colors were so bold and contrasting. I used two very contrasting colors for the flowers on my dress and a dark bold blue for the fabric in the middle of my dress. In this design, I changed the color of the dress from the background by making it purple. I stuck with matching my hair, bracelet, and shoes in a yellow color for something unique.

My favorite design is the analogous one. I really liked how the flowers in the dress turned out. I also really liked the pink hair. I enjoyed this project because it was fun to see how I could manipulate the colors in different ways. The project took me around three hours to complete because I had to outline each flower individually.
