Big Friend: Colour experimentation

The aim of this exercise was to try different types of colour sets on the Big Friend cover. I just brought one of my sketches into Photoshop and coloured it in a couple of different styles.

Monochromatic: Simple colourset, consisting entirely of a Blue hue, in several shades. Although easy on the eyes, it was hard to make certain items have colour that didn't look unnatural - namely, the sun.

Complimentary: I used the same shade of blue from the Monochromatic piece, but this time, I hopped across the colour wheel and got a shade of orange that coincided with the Blue. This shade was great in bringing out the warmth of the sun, and also giving the robot some more interesting colour scheming. I think this is my favourite style of colouring for this cover, that I will be going for.
