Here is my entry for the three colours challenge hosted by simoneferriero and DA

www.deviantart.com/simoneferri…

It was quite a good challenge because of this unusual combination of colors (at least for me!). so there are only 3 colors here, a kinda pinkish red, a purple and a light pinky grey. It was said we could blend the colors, so that's what i have done here and there.
For the technical part, I first made a grayscale picture the put the 3 colors in different layers (like i explained in my tutorial: www.deviantart.com/lumenox/art… ) with different blending options.
I used Krita options to select the exact 3 colors: Red: EA1F61 Purple: 8C5C90 Pinkish Gray: DCC1CA

The most difficult part was all this skin... first i used the red+grey pink and he looks like sun burned! I desperately wanted to put some yellow and orange here and there! D: but I resisted and decided to use mostly the pinky grey with psubtle red and purple on shadows so... in the end ...i was like "omg what have i done? well he does look like a vampire from twilight xD or a K-pop singer lol"

You can find the main step detailing the process of this picture here: www.deviantart.com/lumenox/art…

By the way, it's a redraw of an old OC of mine, Stefan... the last time I drew was in... 2008! 8D here: www.deviantart.com/lumenox/art…
I thought his natural red hair was ok. i just put red eyes in this version and normalized his hair style for once xD Well, he looks a bit more mysterious right?

Well I had a lot of fun, it was a very interesting exercice proving me I could make many more color restriction experiments like that! So thank you simoneferriero for this idea of chalenge <3
