Color Palette Challenge

It's been almost a year since I came to a conclusion that the way I use colours suck hard and I should do something about it. It was one of the best decisions of my twenties, really (the next best decision was getting to know human anatomy better).

The Color Palette Challenge I use is the one by FallenZephyr that I found on DeviantArt. But any kind of palettes' collection would work. It's more about using colours and colour combinations that you would not think of on your own.

Here are few of the first ones I did:

(you can almost feel the struggle coming off of them)

Here are some of the new ones:

I love the progress. It's so encouraging!!!!

All the Color Palette Challenges I did are posted and tagged on my tumblr blog here.

Old enough to train a dragon

It was my sister's birthday on 31st. She's an annoying (even more of a) teenager now. I'm pretty sure I wasn't THAT annoying when I was her age :D

As a part of a birthday present I painted her because she's been whining about it for a while now. I wish I had more time to do it though (I had to be quick to finish when she was out! And she came back early!!).

She's got this picture set up as her computer wallpaper now :)
