This is a photo study that I did because I fell in love for Paulina’s picture of Aurora and because I wanted to study those colors and values.
I decided to not use the color picker in this piece, so I could train my eyes to see the correct color and value.
The gazillion red and pink tones might trick you, but there’s no blue on this illustration.

*If you’re curious about the original picture, go check on Paulina’s Instagram.
