Perfect Method for Picking Colors

In the past I've winged it, or used web apps or stolen other people's color palettes. Many of my illustrations fall into the trap of being much too monotone. I'm constantly striving to get better at colors, but that times a lot of time and a lot of practice. In the meantime, this is a great approach. In a nutshell: steal colors from great photographs and mother nature. It just makes sense.
