The answer is color separation. Colors appear brighter with more volume when they are next to opposite colors on the color wheel. Warm colors make cool colors look cooler and vice versa.
If you'd like to play with color, first draw LIGHTLY with a pencil and abstractly plan out your composition. Make sure the composition shows depth, motion, iconic expressions and correct human portions; think Leonardo's golden triangle man... we showed earlier in class. Then fill in the sketches with black or dark magic marker.
THEN: choose 5 different colors. Make sure when you are coloring in the black magic marker, the same color is NEVER touching something that is the same color ... like on the map of the USA!
Use this philosophy on our SCALED DOWN MURAL THAT we will turn into a time line book.
