Description

The end of “Across the Spider-verse” had me so psyched up, I wanted to run home from the theater rather than drive. So I guess it's no surprise that I wanted to take a shot at drawing Gwen from those moments, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I have to admit that it was really tricky to try to line of the colors of her outfit given how many colors are shining on and around her throughout the movie, and how the time of night plays into it and such. But I did the best I could, and hopefully got within the ballpark.

Disclaimer: I’m red-green colorblind. Because of this, it’s difficult for me to tell similar shades/hues of different colors apart, and, therefore, I need to work with very limited palettes when I color pieces. For shading and highlights, I’ll start with a gray base and lighten or darken shades from there, and then add a color overlay (and, for some skin tones, attempt to add a blue overlay to make it less “hot”). I’ve often been told to be bolder in my highlighting and shading, and I’m trying to be so, but… sometimes it still seems pretty tame. I’m just saying this in case you mentioned I need to do that on a previous piece – I’m not ignoring you, and I appreciate the input. It’s just not very easy for me to implement confidently.
