For my pieces, I used manga (japanese graphic novels) from my bookcase to showcase the color progressions. I’ve always loved the colors in cover art of any manga, but now that I’m seeing them in a different light, I appreciate them even more now!

Shade Progression (Black to Orange & Pink)

Using volume 6 of Shaman King, I’m demonstrating the shade progression of black to color. You can really notice the progression around the middle of the character, where the black is blending into the pink and just behind the orange foliage.

Two-Color Progression (Burgundy to Brown)

Volume 8 of Death Note; the dominant burgundy color progresses to the sub-dominant values of brown, which exhibits a 2-color progression.

Tint Progression (Lake Green to White)

And volume 4 of Death Note displays a tint progression with the blue-green lake color progressing to white.
