Is there a guide on making these swatches?
>>
>>7812399

i typically use 5 different degrees of color for cel-shading pixel art or 3 colors for simple edge highlighting (border color, edge highlight, body color). less is more.

I don't count the colors. I use whatever the fuck color the part of the drawing needs. Who limits the color? We have the fucking colors i'm going to use them.

limiting colors intentionally is a good skill to have because it teaches you how to make the most out of what you have. it's also good for making sure you can easily replicate the process exactly if you're doing something that needs uniformity, like pixel art. it's not as useful for digital painters though.
