i've always been a fan of art challenges, if that's trying my hand at them myself or seeing what other people come up with while working under restrictions, so i thought it'd be nice to have a topic around for one i really like.

i'm sure most people are familiar with the concept, but i'll give you the gist anyway!
all you really do is generate a random color palette with 3-5 colors and then create something with them. that can of course be anything that springs to mind! doesn't matter if it's full blown illustrations, paintings, doodles, or even OCs, just have fun with it!  :nukoyay:

here are some sites i found that let you generate random palettes or pick from shuffled premade palettes:
some of these are sadly CRINGE and include some weird ai bullshit, so if someone has a better randomizer please share!

okay, finally getting around to contribute to this topic i started!  :nukoyay:
ended up just doodling a bunch of stuff... bunch of jjk stuff because i've been rewatching with friends again and it has me excited about it! just a good ol' comfy time!

you should! i think it's always a good time.
you can always approach it like a value study too, if that makes it easier!
but i find it in general pretty nice for finding color combos that i've not considered before. i nabbed myself some more random palettes too and might do something with them the coming days, hehe.
