Illuminating Color
My article "Illuminating Color" has finally been published in the latest SCBWI Bulletin (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators - scbwi.org). I sold it to them almost a year ago, so I've been anxious to see it in print.
Of course, as with most periodicals, there was a space limitation which cut into what I was able to share about the topic. So, now that it's out, I'm free to post the article in full on my website, including visual examples of the ideas to which I refer, at links & articles - click on the title "Illuminating Color."
In the article I discuss the elusive skills that can make the difference between amateur and professional looking illustration - the proper use of light and color. If you give it a gander - please let me know if you found it helpful!

{{{{e}}}}} THANKS for the article. Over the past few years I have paid attention to your advice about color and shadow, but am so pleased to see this all in print and in a place where I can put my hands on it easily.
Great article, and printed in just the right place for artists, and illustrators to learn from it.
Very helpful, Elizabeth. Color is something I struggle with and need to think more about. Very generous post, as always!
Great article, Elizabeth! Just read it the other day. :-)
Very fun article and links. Wish I'd seen this when I first started to look into the topics. :)
Yeah! Glad y'all enjoyed it! :) e
