Research - Gabriel Bá

Another artist I looked at is Gabriel Bá, mostly for how he colours some of his work, the most prevalent example of which would be Casanova (Written by Matt Fraction and drawn by Bá for the first seven issues)

The main reason I'm looking at Bá's work is his use of a limited colour palette. In his case he uses mostly one colour to denote shadow in his work, but what I found interesting is that colour would change over different scenes IE: a Rustic mansion would have a dark green to denote shadows, whereas a mad scientist's laboratory would have an almost pastel blue.

There are four scenes in my comic (two of which take place in the same area) so I was wondering if I could mix it up and use different colours for them all?

For example in the first scene is set in the middle of Berlin at evening, so I have dark red shadows and orange light. The second scene takes place in the middle of a forest so could I swap the red for a dark green? Would it have the same effect as the first scene? Should it? Could I potentially mix it up in between chapters and not scenes, maybe to show the passage of time?

Another thing I noticed about Bá's work is that when he uses two colours, he still uses pure white to show light (using the secondary colour to show a different set of shadows). It adds almost a sort of purity to the scene, throwing the light and dark into more contrast than it would be if he used another colour to show light. I think it makes his illustrations a bit stark or sterile though, so for my comic I think I'll stick with the a colour to denote light... at least until I possibly get to a planned scene set in a laboratory, in which case a bit of sterility would help the scene.
