Hello! This is my entry for the #foodpaintchallenge on Instagram, it's hosted by dennispfeil.art and alaiganuza <3 both of them are amazing painters, so I encourage you to check them out.
I stepped out of my comfort zone with this piece and I think it was worth it :) as always, it was made using Rebelle 6.
Anyways, I don't think I've ever linked my Instagram account in here. So please, follow it if you're interested. I'm a bit more active on it <3
Thank you for checking it out, have a nice week!

There's something about the way you color your art that really intrigues me. It just looks SO good. There's something about the way you shade your drawings that just give me such a carefree feeling, which is something I really strive to feel when drawing something myself. If it's not a bother for you, I'd love to know how you use the colors to make your drawings look so beautiful ( ;∀;)
OMG THANKS and awww I feel so honored to get trusted for an ask like this… 🥹 Since the beginning my main focus on my digital art journey was to be good at coloring, to have vibrant, saturated and recognizable colors. And it makes me very happy to see that, while I still have a very long path, it's giving results that make me feel proud!
But enough with the storytimes! I did a little breakdown + tips on what I do when coloring. I don't follow the exact same steps on every single piece or texture I do it depends on how much time I want to spend on it but I always keep them on mind. Take them as a 'checklist'.
Disclaimer, just in case: I'm not a professional nor an art student. Everything I've learned had been by just observing, videos, inspirations and my own trial and error. This is not a guide on what everyone should do, but just a breakdown on what I do.
When I shade, I think about 6 different colors:
Base color.
The main shadow.
A strong light. Saturaded.
The highlight line. A brighter color than 3.
Ambience light. This color is a reflection of the surroundings.
One color with a different hue than the others surrounding it. May feel out of tune with the others, but I like how it stands out.
Let's take Barbiedede for some examples and observations still feeling proud with how he came out!.
❗ Extras:
It's cool to have a thin line of a different color where the light ends or the shadow starts. Like the yellow ❗️ on Dedede's hands, or the orange ❗ on his beak.
As I mentioned above, ALWAYS change the hue when selecting a new color. This makes it look more dynamic.
Keep in mind different surfaces work different. There's stronger contrasts and highlights on the metal than the fabric.
Avoid grays, I tend to have a hard time shading them. Keep sure every color you use has at least a little of saturation.
Learn how blending modes work and experiment with them! I personally love to give final touches with an overlay layer.
Don't be afraid of breaking rules ❗ or adding even more colors.
Coloring lineart is a great extra support for the lights!
This was for a drawing with a flat and simpler rendering, but I also apply these rules when I go for the softer and more elaborated shading. The only difference is I smooth the colors with a softer brush, and apply way more blending layers.
If you want me to breakdown another piece or ask for other tips feel free to ask! I'm far from being an expert but I'm willing to share what I know.
Alaiganuza is a big inspiration of mine, the colors are simply fantastic and has some guides too.
I also like watching Marco Bucci's videos. He has pretty interesting videos and facts about colors and how the human eye perceives them.
btw I'm sorry for taking a while to answer, I've been a little busy and stressed and wanted to prepare a proper post for this ask.
