Here’s a quick Adder sketch with a colour blocking experiment! I really like using arch shapes within my work, they feel like windows or portals and I also enjoy how they work aesthetically within a piece.
As you can see from some of my other recent sketches (here and here for example), I normally use a black scribbled arch as a background and to frame the subject of my illustrations. For this sketch I wanted to see how else I could use this shape and so this colour blocking aesthetic was used!
I don’t typically use much, if any, colour in my work so I’m really excited by this simple method of injecting a pop of colour into a piece. I’m also looking forward to experimenting more with this to see how else I can play with colour!
