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!!
If you’re a visual learner…
I made some Balls of Colour to go with Art Mom™’s post:
…..dont listen to this, shade and color however you want. and instead of thinking of what color the object has, consider the color of the light that shines on it, or the lack thereof. you totally can shade black, and use black to shade, idk why you would think otherwise. anyway psa there is no right or wrong in art do what you want, if it feels good and looks like you want then go for it
