* feminine, character, moody *
Pop is a personal illustration and character design project. For this visual, I took on not one, but TWO new challenges: working with a limited color palette and animating my character.
I chose two very contrasting colors: midnight blue and hot pink, and played with the surprise effect of chewing gum. I also took the opportunity to create a mini tutorial, explaining my process in less than a minute.
So… what do you think of the result? Leave me a comment on my Instagram!
