It’s Scout Saturday, but on a Sunday! Here are some old sky thumbnails from 2021 to early 2023! Which one is your favorite? 🌤️

#scoutscartoon #visdev #colordesign
Three columns of three rough color thumbnails of the skies. They’re in different times: day (top), dusk/dawn (middle), and night (bottom). The title above them is "Sky Palettes - Color Roughs (2021-2023)." First Row: Daytime color thumbnails consisting of a light-blue palette. The clouds pop out more as it evolves from left to right. Second Row: Dusk/Dawn color thumbnails consisting of a warm color palette. The clouds are absent in the thumbnail with the pink-yellow gradient but are present in the rest. The second thumbnail has a dark purple-pink gradient, while the third is a lighter variant of that same palette. Third Row: Nighttime color thumbnails consisting of a dark-blue palette. Like with the second row, the clouds are absent in the first thumbnail but are present in the rest. The stars are also present in this row.
