In developing my environments for my film, I'm thinking about how I will approach colouring the backgrounds. I did a small test on a section of the background for Alistair's room in different styles of colouring and shading to get a feel for how it would look in the rest of the shot.
Here's the full image I'm working from:

Lineart of Alistair's room
I've chosen a section of this piece to experiment with colour and lighting to test how the rest of the piece will look. This will also inform the style and palette I use for colouring and shading the rest of the backgrounds in Alistair's room, and the style for other environments for the film. |

Looking at the final test in the context of the whole space
I like how the final test with coloured lineart looks up close, but I'm not sure if it's going to lose its impact if the whole background is done in this style. Looking back to this piece below from Steven Universe, I'm considering how coloured lineart can be used strategically in direct sunlight, while maintaining darker lineart in the rest of the piece.

I want my work to evoke the same gentle, warm effect that this piece captures so well. I'll need to keep experimenting.
