Alright now that you have your bunch of different collages of your inspiration images that are grouped by color. Look through them. They're going to be, you're going to need to edit it, you can't put all the colors in there unless that's your thing for your collection, which is by all means your right as a designer. But you want to first start small. Pick about five colors at the most. Five colors that are drawn from your inspiration pages and that'll be what you use as your core colors for your collection. And from these inspiration pages you need to then get color chips. That's what these are. Color aide color chips. They are painted pieces of paper. Painted squares that you're going to match. Say I chose this. The pinks and the blues. I'm going to look through my color chips and I'm going to pick some colors that are in this page. Pinks and blues. Then I will have those laid out and I've narrowed it all down and so forth to, say I'm using these two colors based on this inspiration. See the progression now? This is what you have to decide before you can even really start drawing anything. And then you move on from there. But the color aide color chips find them online. They're easy to find. Or just, you can find them in any craft store. And then we will move on from there.
