I see you're experimenting with coloring again

Oh dear. Is that good or bad? ;) I am, indeed, experimenting again. I'm restless and dissatisfied with what I'm doing. I need to find something new to do so yes, I'm experimenting with color.

I do want more vibrant colors. I look at posts of SPN icons I've created and they're all dark and drab and single person, usually close up in their faces. I want color and happiness.I look at the way that [livejournal.com profile] juanxyo and [livejournal.com profile] kawaii_chicken use eye-popping color and it looks juicy and fruity and happy. I'm not made for working with color quite that saturated and I'm trying to figure out how to use it. I look at [livejournal.com profile] tle_lovie69 and think, "hey, that looks like something I wish I had made." Vibrant and saturated is my way of trying to do similar things without copying.

I stink at using textures for coloring. Perhaps it's because I'm too lazy to use a bunch and then mask out most of it? I have no sense of what will work best and what settings to choose. And while experimentation is the only real way to learn, the sheer number of textures and settings options is mind boggling for me.

I love Amy Pond's face and hair. She's very pretty and they film her to catch her expressive eyes. For some reason, I'm generally more interested in the companions than in the Doctors. *shrug*
