But that’s my entire shtick!
Bi pride, lesbian pride woo!
Do you keep track of how many colors you use in a particular comic? :)
Looking closely, the second panel here contains every different colour I used in the same panel, except Razira’s dark green hair tie, and the yellow I blended into the gold for Konsi’s two-tone eye shade - so if you include those, it’s 27.
Coloursoft pencils are quite versatile in the range of shades they can produce - so (for example) all the different shades in the wooden beams are the same pencil - or all the different reflections on the silver parts of Razira’s dress are the same pencil.
I haven’t included the black of the ink pen or the pure white of the untouched paper in this count - or the digital watermark at the bottom.
Perhaps an easier demonstration of what I mean by “producing a range of shades” is to look at something I drew a little larger:
This image uses five greens, three yellow/gold, and two white/grey pencils - so ten colours total…
Her skintone here is all the same pencil - polychromos 167, her hair is similarly all one pencil - polychromos 278
Oh cool. I didn’t even notice the glasses in the flag colors till you pointed it out.
