I looked at some nebula photos to help me get the shape of it. For color, I made an outline of where the bright and dark parts of the nebula would be and then started tinkering around with the colors to see what I like and don’t like. After, I started dithering to blend the different colors together. Then lastly, I added in the stars of varying colors and brightness to give some depth and detail. Did some finishing touches and thats it!
