I designed a lettering piece with the bookish quote “Reading is my love language” for my Bookaholic Lettering Series Project. I wanted to convey a cozy mood for this artwork. Hence why I created a cozy fall vibes color palette for it!
This is the first of many color palettes that are coming to the blog! I hope you enjoy it.
The Inspiration
For this color palette, I began searching for inspiration on Pinterest. I ended up creating an entire board of photos inspired by cozy fall vibes. This board also served as inspiration for a vintage color palette of another piece I designed.
Final Artwork & Color Palette
Here’s how I applied this color palette to an artwork I designed. I used the light color as the background and the other colors are mixed in the lettering and illustration elements!
