The Soft Dream (Emphasis by Saturation)

This project is "Emphasis by Saturation (by adding grey)", and I named it "The Soft Dream". It is 1080 by 1080 pixels, and I create it with the software "Procreate". My emphasis in this project is the firework. Instead of only create the firework, I decided to add a character to bring a connection with the firework and add a sense of story. For my color choices, I decided to make the characters in a cold tone and make the firework and background in a heat tone so it brings the contrast.
Learning Outcomes:
Under my instructor, Mr. Jon Nguyen's help, I learned to always pay attention to the hierarchy that I want to design, make sure my focus point is always the most prominent one. When I create similar objects, thinking of more perspective angle rather than copy and paste things that already there.
