Update on the chocolates pattern
since so many of you asked for it, here comes my updated chocolates pattern!
This is what I did:
- I duplicated the original canvas to keep the old version and work freely on a duplicate, just in case! 😁
- I removed the checkerboard pattern and went with a plain yellow. I tried green and purple, but yellow was my favorite.
- I added a different upscaled checkerboard pattern in the same yellow, but set the blend mode to screen to create a brighter hue. Then turned down the opacity until I liked the contrast.
- I changed the color of 2 of the pralinés to white, to have more variety
- I kept the chocolate in one layer apart from the background so I could still make adjustments to both background (i.e. different colors!) but also to slightly move & rotate some of the chocolates, just to get rid of too much order
In general, this is once more a great example for me that less is definitely more, especially when it‘s about the background.
Now I am pretty content with the result, although it is lacking a bit of contrast, green or purple would probably look better. I just love the yellow… 😇 What do you think about the before and after?
