Digital art practice Self Directed (Week 7)

This week's self directed is focused on generating colour schemes for my vehicle, some are quite tame, where as others are very outlandish.

Some colours are symbolic of the theme I was going for. Such as, the red and cream, which denotes a retro looking object, which would fit quite nicely with the 'new old' theme I wanted my vehicle to be based on. Furthermore, the red and yellow scheme was based off the idea of a 'hot rod' representing the flame of the car, but overall this scheme was a bit too powerful for the tone and atmosphere the car is linked to.

The muted tones work better, my personal favourite is the desert tan and olive drab car at the bottom left of the picture, because it has a militaristic colour scheme while also acting as 'camouflage' and giving off a more serious tone to the situation. Though other colour schemes reflected a more over the top tone which would be perfect for the context, using these colour schemes would de-grade the integrity of how the car would look in the final piece, ultimately discarding the more over the top ideas.
