Autumn Cottage

Inspired by autumn.

This is another personal illustration that I put towards my portfolio. As well as character design and animal illustrations, I also enjoy world building and drawing environments.

I often like to express certain moods through my art and I believe your chosen colour palette has a great impact on this. When in doubt, you can take colour inspiration from things around you that give out a particular mood or atmosphere.

For example, with this piece I went with a dark but warm autumnal palette to suggest calmness and also intrigue. Who might be living in this cottage? Would the atmosphere change at all if I went for a cooler colour palette that consisted of blues and purples?
