#bc if its white you will be like 'naah these colours are too strong' and you wont dare to try more

[pumpkster]

hii sorry if you’ve already answered something like this in the past but how do you shade? ur art is always rendered so nicely and the colors are chosen so well!!

HELLOO THANK YOU! SO let’s start from the basics

when something is white or black you can change that to something else, here’s an example (for black you can just pick any colour and make it darker)

2. if you have space (in the background? idk how you call it) you can put a showy colour

3. colour picking - i tone it down / take the saturation

i dont add lighting unless there's something like glass

separation line cuz its gonna get a bit long

1.

you get your base colours ( i revived my oc for this ) (now after the basics u know where the white, black and [in this case] yellow came from)

2. i hope you know how to use layers

specific art style thing, i dont know what that is

3. if you arent the type of person to stick all the layers of your base colours then CHANGE IT!! for this tutorial

so what you are going to do is create a gray layer, all gray, fill it, the layer has to be on top of the base colour layer

u click that button, it has to look like this

4. you create another layer (above the gray one) (it has to be on the same layer mode with the second button so what you do doesnt go out from the base colors)

then you put your shading, I use red

+ i like to remark around the lineart bc yes

5.

trust me

[extra unnecessary info = a good mix is red + blue, and purple or brown are good on their own (in multiply)]

6.

you experiment with the layers, adding or deleting until you like it (i usually dont like if the shading ends up too not-colourful or too heavy) (the modes for these layers are multiply and SUBEXPONER) (I DONT KNOW THE TRANSLATION BUT ITS THIS ONE)

7. once you get what you want you merge the shading layers one per one to the base colour layer, so its all gone, you have all in one layer

8. BORDERS

you make outlines around the shading, in a colour that is more ?saturated? / showy <- you can use these same lines you are doing to just remark what you want (like the speechbubble, bad example but u get it)

in the black color i used (here its darker blue) i didnt use a lighter saturated colour like everywhere else, i used a darker blue

9. SECOND ROUND OF BORDERS

whats the difference between these and the ones from before? in this step your starter color is the base color (in the other you picked from the shading) , you dont go too far to make it outstanding

all of this it makes it more solid

10. AND LAST you colour the lineart (in the same layer mode you used before where what u do doesnt go out of the layer)

very saturated here and i randomly added orange bc reusing colors is cool (since the filling behind the hair was yellow it ended up like this)

edit: i dont like to change much from the outlines, more the inside because i like it when it looks like a sticker

thank u for reading

#art tag #adding in the tags that this is only a way of the many to colour #you can stop at any step #add more #modify anything #i guess what i keep the most is that in the shading there are outlines #also its better to have a grey-darker background colour while picking colours #bc if its white you will be like 'naah these colours are too strong' and you wont dare to try more #tutorial
