hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty
rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD.
red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple
orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red
yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach
green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal
blue- shade with purple
purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)
pink- darker shade of red
white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??
black- okay listen dont use pure black to colour anything unless you want to leave it with flat colours because you cant really shade black lol
grey- a slightly darker shade of purple or blue (less saturated)
brown- slightly darker and less saturated shade of purple or red
aaaaand thats all i got lol. let me know if there is anything i should add to this list!!
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ THIS!!!! ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Coincidentally, I already use these exact techniques. I think these shades really help make colors pop!
As a bonus, I always stray away from coloring with any pure blacks or greys. Heavily desaturated blues, teals, and browns do the job better, IMO.
Save the color black for outlines if you want a real “comic” look. Stay away from coloring with black or grey until you draw something that’s 100% absent of light (black) or 100% absent of color (grey). When you finally use those colors for their intended themes, they’ll have a greater effect.
thanks to the recent casting of white actor Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson i’m gonna say this once again:
Michael Jackson was BLACK
he was proud to be black and continuously said so throughout his life
he supported black communities, attended black pride events, wrote songs/spoke out against police brutality/institutional racism, and explicitly stated to Oprah that he would not want a white actor to portray him because he was a black American
mj suffered from vitiligo as confirmed by his official autopsy report and thus underwent a gradual depigmentation of his skin
a white man playing him IS white washing
do not see this movie, do not support this movie, and let your outrage be known
Please everyone reblog this, this is really important.
I was feeling REAAAALLY ANGSTY for some reason… Decided to draw a bunch of Mythos expression doodles…ended up going from super angry, to bby Mythos being comforted by Bby Kyrie…to some sort of gooey lovey dovey sketch of them as adults…and theeen a brief note on their gender/sexuality.
Mythos, being a Sphinx/warrior person…identifies as gender fluid…and also asexual romantic.
Kyrie, is pansexual (LIKE ME) and cisgender female. :)
Thanks for putting up with my sleep deprived doodles….
Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming positive response to my first video! And, despite what many of the tags claimed, I was not in fact crying. It was definitely you.
Heads up, there is some blood in this sequence.
THOUGHTS:
1. Used a new brush. Still needs some tweaks, but I like the feel. 2. The goal for this sequence was NO MAGIC CAMERAS. All the shots had to have realistic set ups! I drew 120 storyboards in 3 days. Improvement again! It was a bit of a scramble and some of the board get a little rough, but that’s what storyboarding is, yes?! 3. Next challenge is to see what I can accomplish without the might of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical masterpiece backing me up. Teaser trailer for DOOMMATES will post this Friday!
