I did a little update to my image to make the foreground more interesting. Maybe I should desaturate the foreground color a little bit? #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #picturebookart #illustrator #illustration

I’ve been working on spreading my wings and used a (mostly) analogous color palette for this new piece. It’s been fun to try something new and I think I might try another piece with either analogous color or limited color.
Has anyone else been trying something new?
