These are for the Summer Rewind 2 round at somein30. For this batch I chose to redo Round 3: Vibrant vs Muted. I chose hard mode which means each icon needed to draw from the inspirations in the challenge post. Hover over the icons to see which inspiration was used.

Muted colouring is a weak spot of mine which is one reason I wanted I picked this round. The first 10 are (obviously IMO) inspired the vibrant inspirations in the challenge post and I had a lot of fun with them. The second ten were inspired from the muted section and I also had fun but also found it tricky. I kept defaulting to techniques that I usually used and then had to "rescue" the icons 🙈. Towards the end though I think I had managed to rewire my brain a little and was able to deliberately work towards a more muted outcome (even if they still seem a bit on the vibrant side to me).

If any of you have any concrit or favourite tips and tricks for muted colouring, please do share them! (If you want to 😁).
