Self-Portrait Colored - Thiago A

Self-Portrait Colored Reflection

by Thiago A

As a continuation of the Self-Portrait Greyscale Project, This is the colored version of that project which used a copy to use as a base. However, While creating this project, I encountered a block on what colors I should use. I had been hopping between different colors like skin tones, earth tones, and neutral tones and none of them had been to my expectations. Then with inspiration, I decided on Light Blue Tones to Dark Red Tones by using the eyedropper tool from one of my favorite Spider-Man Movies, The Amazing Spider-Man. Then for the background, I decided to stick with the theme of Spider-Man and I added a cityscape as well as spider webs. One thing I am not too optimistic about this project is the use of the blue and red for a skin tone, I feel like I could've done better by choosing a more human-like color and maybe blended with the blue and reds.
