shading colour tips

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!!

Hi! I'm not sure if this is a right place to ask, but how do you draw a body? (anatomy) for beginners. I'm sorry if this is already asked before. 😅

Okay, so this is a lot to work through - after all the entirety of anatomy is a rather large subject! Instead of explaining it all myself I’ve put together a bunch of different youtube videos I’ve found have helped me with different aspects of anatomy which would be a good place for you to start from!

““I couldn’t have you in this life,” she said, trying to smile through the tears. “But I like to think that in another life, it would’ve worked out.” He looked at her sympathetically, almost as if that were enough to make him stay with her. But she knew in the end, he didn’t love her, and he didn’t feel the chemistry she did whenever she was around him. Another tear slipping from her eyes made him snap out of his thoughts. If he didn’t love her, why did it hurt so much to see her like this? “It would’ve worked out, right? We would’ve been okay? In another life, you would’ve stayed?” Her voice was broken and the begging to know the answer was insufferable. It wasn’t possible to bear watching her sob like that, and all because of him. Why didn’t he love her? Why couldn’t he? She was offering him her world and he was too selfish to take it, because he wanted other worlds too. “We would’ve been perfect,” he leaned in and whispered, kissing her forehead. “In another life, we would’ve had everything and nobody would’ve been able to stop us.” And that was the most painful goodbye she had ever had to go through. Knowing that loving him wasn’t enough, knowing that maybe, in another life, she wouldn’t have had him either.”

— In another life, I would make you stay…

Loveʼs most intimate union is through eating, tasting, and seeing interiorly. He eats us; we think we eat him, and we do eat him, of this we can be certain. But because he remains so undevoured, and so untouched, and so undesired, each [of us] remains uneaten [by him] and separated so far from each other.

why don’t you watch the season 1 finale of derry girls and maybe you’ll understand the necessity of love and friendship in the face of terror and violence and the enduring hope that keeps humanity going during its darkest moments

god i love small fictional towns in tv shows so much like in gilmore girls and schitt's creek and the good place..........the quirky weird lovable townies and the little cafes that the characters always hang out in and how detached they are from the actual world. it feels so homey and cosy and warm i love love love it

“The heart is the least vulnerable thing. The heart does what it wants and oh, it pities, how it pities. The heart is the passenger, the driver, has gum, water bottles and plastic puke bags in case you get sick. Taco Bell, the heart regrets to inform you, has closed. You will have to find some other way to soothe yourself.”
