Color Palettes & demonstrations on how to use them.


When doing hair, I think the proportions are the trickiest to get right.  So I made a color set that has example images for help. :D  There's the basic palette which is easy to color select, & there's two images that give an idea of how to use them.

Like so:



This way, you can get an idea about how much light or dark to apply to the hair.  I encourage experimentation though, like below:


The first two on the left are using the palette in a basic manner, one as cel shading and one as painted. The third removes several of the colors to simplify it further.

The bottom left example changes the proportion of light to dark, changing the hair color to a lighter shade.  The bottom right switches the highlights & shades with 2 different palettes.  Try experimenting & modifying the palettes to your liking. :D


All the natural colors:




And some unnatural hair colors I had laying around from a few character sheets I made:



Mix & match, use it as a springboard for hair colors, use it however you like.  However you use it, I hope you enjoy it. :D

Hi, I'm Saturn and I enjoy Pixel Art & making CSP assets too much. Most of my stuff is free, but I also have some fancy brushes you can buy in my links. Feel free to check it out, but no worries if you only use free stuff. It's meant to be used anyway! :D
