I used a jpeg background Sarah put up online to test some colour lighting. Using analogous colour theory, I made two versions of the lighting exercise. The first was a triumphant colour scheme consisting of yellows that seems reminiscent of meeting the divine, or the dawn of a new day at the end of a movie.
The second thumbnail used a much more eerie colour scheme using reddish purples to create a more bleak, apocalyptic world for the scene. This exercise taught me about how to convey a mood in a scene using different colours for lighting techniques as well as using more than two different colours to demonstrate lighting.
I then made a new illustration using the analogous colour scheme, and using a black and white image, used reddish pink lighting to signify my character’s determination to finish her work. The villainous character to her left is shaded in a much darker tone of red, to signify her more villainous persona, while the protagonist character herself is illuminated in pink to show her determination and to signify her as the hero.
