Colour saturation in your art!

I usually use both in my art, but I prefer using high saturation. Not too high, but just enough to give colours a pastel look. Saturation really gives off the personality of a piece of art, which is what I like most about high saturations. It's bubbly and energetic, if not a little gaudy.

However, I have a harder time focusing on high saturations. My art usually focuses on art with low saturation, and because of that, I try not to make the saturation too high to the point where it sticks like a sore thumb.

 

It depends on the piece really.
Sometimes I'll use a higher one, in which case I prefer Selective Coloring as opposed to to just the Saturation adjustment.
If I want it lower I use a Black and White gradient map on lighten.

 

Over saturated art makes my eyes burn, even though I do it sometimes. It does make a piece more vibrant and appealing, though, I can't argue with that.

Depends on who I'm drawing for. (*´﹃｀*) People who like cutesy art generally go for the more saturated versions but working with personal art I enjoy muted colours that blend well together.

 

I also perfer low saturation. I love how extraordinary it can make a piece, however, it can look as if the color is bleeding if satuartion is overused. I use lower saturations in my art because it can blend the colors well, but not make the piece look over done like most higher satuarted pictures. I think high saturation is very hard to focus on because its difficult to not make it look overdone. seriously! Props to those who use it well!
