Small advancements

Color tests
I brought my drawing from last week into Photoshop and played around a bunch with Hue/Saturation layers and Gradient Maps. I tried to go for analogous color schemes centered on green. The first 5 veer towards warm green and the last 4 towards cool green.

Honestly I think this background simply doesn't have enough detail. No matter what I do to the colors I just don't like it. It doesn't look how it looks in my head. Also, it's like, even though all my references and the style I want to do DON'T color things in their real life colors, I like can't stop myself from doing that. I think I really need to step away from the computer and redraw this background using the stuff in my pencil case, where I don't have access to literally every color that the human eye can register.

Character design
I've been drawing Lorraine over and over again in my sketchbook this week. I can draw her pretty good from the front but any other angle kind of sucks. I think I might do like a Fairly OddParents thing where the character has a front and a side angle and they just flip from one to the other. But now that I'm thinking about it again I don't like the idea.
