Jisung: Does age matter?

Chan: When it comes to love, absolutely not. Love knows no bounds. It's something that can't-

Jisung: No, not love Chan, you sappy fool. I'm trying to get food from te kids menu, the adult one sucks and I have a hankering for some chicken nuggets. Do you think I could pass as 12?

Anime Recommendations

I got some asks about recommending anime series which are worth the watch and here are some I thought are amazing since I'm a very picky person lol with a very short summary

(note that there are not ranked just listed and I just realized that all except for one are fantasy OTL seems like it I have a type 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Hamatora

You like Mystery? Comedy? Super Powers? Drama? Then this ones for you. very underrated anime somehow?? this one was my favorite anime back in 2014 or so. it got 2 seasons btw and the opening of the 2nd one is just👌👌

People with special powers are called Minimum Holders and the detective agency called Hamatora is composed of two dudes called Nice and Murasaki. The jobs that they begin to receive seem to have strange connections to the serial killer whom their friend cinnamon roll I mean Art who is a police officer, is searching for. The murder victims? They are all Minimum Holders.

Tenrou: Sirius the Jaeger

WHY ARE NO ONE TALKIN ABOUT THIS YALL IM-

This one is currently on-going but one gets very hooked watching just the very first episode which is rare (for me??).

It’s about "Jaegers" who carry musical instrument cases and came to hunt vampires. The protagonist Yuliy is a werewolf who had his home village destroyed by vampires. He and his crew engage in battle against the mysterious arc known as the “The Arc of Sirius.”

It may or may not sounds like a typical story line idk but don’t be fooled this anime is surprisingly very good you will immediately want to adopt the main character, there’s action and horror & supernatural elements and the art style of the anime is soooo good btw So do yourself the favor and watch this

Charlotte

First of all, there is no girl called Charlotte like I thought there would be. Second of all, that one is surprisingly a very interesting anime which I binge-watched in a night. It was that good.

Charlotte takes place in a world where some kids have temporarily abilities and the protagonist Yuu can possess another person for 5 seconds and he uses this to cheat on to be a very smart student (basically doing something which we would all had done too come one) but gets exposed and had to forcefully transfer to a school for Pro-Ability-User because there are people who are hunting down ability users. Lastly, long story short some shit happens but its a very cool story and would recommend 10/10

Gekkan Shoujou Nozaki-kun

Idk why people think this is a very underrated anime like it was such a bomb like ¾ years ago but got little forgotten because sadly there is no new 2nd season.

But for the ones who do not know gsnk or never watched it because of reasons, it’s about Sakura Chiyo who has fallen head over heels for the oblivious Nozaki Umetarou. A very oblivious Nozaki. He turns out to be a shoujo mangaka and some things happen and she becomes one of Nozaki’s manga assistant and he befriends many of her quirky schoolmates, including Mikorin (cinnamon roll), Kashima Yuu (another cinnamon roll) and Seo Yuzuki (sinnamon roll). Gsnk is a very hilarious anime with a lot of ships too.

Assassination Classroom

This. Fucking. Anime. I’m a very cold person but this one even melted my heart??? I’m just still not over this anime. Ok so they try to kill off their teacher, a mysterious creature who choped the moon down to a permanent crescent. The students find themselves confronted with an enormous task: to assassinate the creature responsible for the disaster before the Earth turns out the same like the moon. Furthermore, the students soon find that the strange, tentacled beast is more than just indomitable—he is the best teacher they have ever had. Like no joke I wish he was my teacher. Would recommend this one 100/10

I mean look at that gif I’m-

Bungou Stray Dogs

Detectives? Check. Mafias? Check. Supernatural abilities? Double Check. Atsushi gets kicked out of the orphanage and while starving on a riverbank, he saves a suicidal man called Dazai from drowning. Turns out that Dazai is a detective and some things happen and Atsushi is coerced into joining their firm of supernatural investigators, taking on unusual cases the police cannot handle. This anime has 2 seasons, a movie and they announced the 3th season.

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works

would you believe me when I tell you that I rewatch this ¾ times ?? I rarely rewatch something but this one is so good and archer 👌👌👌

ok coming back to the topic this one is my favorite fate series for several reasons you can watch the others too but this one is hands down the best. Sorry but drop everything to watch this you will not regret it. Tohsaka Rin is a magi and enters a war where magis fight with their servants against other magis and their servants. Basically everyone against everyone. With her Servant, Archer, she hopes to obtain the ultimate prize—the Holy Grail, a magical artifact capable of granting its wielder any wish.

Ajin

Mysterious immortal humans are known as “Ajin” and whenever an Ajin is found within society, they are to be arrested and taken into custody immediately. Our main boy called Nagai Kei is a high schooler and survives an accident and becomes an Ajin. He finds himself alone on the run from the entire world.

This one got an unique art style as well and looks this one is an ajin

Nurarihyon no Mago another underrated anime

Part-time student, part time yokai

Rikuo Nura is a quarter youkai, and Nurarihyon, his grandfather, is insistent that he takes over as head of the Nura Clan even tough he doesn’t want to.

Long story short life is not easy when you’re Nurarihyon’s grandson.

With other words his yokai form, his father and his grandfather (when he was younger) are hotter than you ever will be. Period.

That transition tho I’m dead

Thats it and I know there are others which I did not include in this because I think they are already that well known like Tokyo Ghoul, Attack on Titan, Akatsuki no Yona, Boku no Hero Academia, Durarara, Fairy Tail, Kamisama Kiss, Erased, Gintama and so one. This is just a list for some forgotten or underrated anime.

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!!

If you’re a visual learner…

I made some Balls of Colour to go with Art Mom™’s post:

Okay… I’m sorry, but as an illustrator, I think this is terrible advice. This is my opinion, feel free to believe that I’m wrong. This is purely based on my experience with color and color theory.

1) The don’t color with black thing is valid to an extent. Most painters will tell you not to use it or to use it sparingly because black will make things look flat and will heavily desaturate your colors if you’re not careful. I have a problem with telling new artists “DON’T SHADE WITH BLACK OMG NEVAH NOT EVEN ONCE” because there are valid times to use black in shadows, and when you do that, you are telling them that using black is “wrong”, which means they’re less likely to experiment and try new things. I prefer to say, “as a beginner, try to shy away from using black to shade anything until you learn more about color theory. Experiment by all means, but here are some other methods that you might like better.”

2) Telling an artist, especially a new artist to only use a specific color when shading is terrible. I equate it to giving a math student a formula to plug in on tests, but never telling them what the formula actually is or why they’re using it or why it works. It’s an absolutely terrible way to teach someone- especially in art.

There are also so many different ways to color and shade with digital art, telling someone to do it one way is really limiting and not really giving them the best advantage that they have, which is versatility. Plus with painting, there are SO many things to take into account besides the color of the shadow that is going to affect what color the shadows should be- you have local color, relative color, reflected light, and so on.

Here’s some quick and dirty tips on what I do to shade in my paintings:

A) Color wheel- decide what color the shadow is. The most common shade for shadows is ultramarine blue (for those who don’t know, it’s a staple paint color for traditional artists) for natural lighting, but experiment, experiment, experiment! Once you decide on a shadow color, pretend there’s a line going straight through the color wheel dividing it in half. If you use Ultra Blue, the opposite color is MOST likely going to be yellow depending on your art program, colors in your painting should move toward Ultra blue equallyish (there’s lots of room for fudging, do what looks best!) Yellow will be a bit of a toss up depending on your painting and executive decisions as an artist. But basically orange will be shaded with a darker shade of red, red with purple, green with teal, teal with blue, blue is like yellow, dependent on your painting and executive decision. You might choose an indigo, or something warmer (more greenish/tealish) might suit your painting. Experiment! The same works in reverse for painting things lit by direct light AND reflected lighting.

B) Blending Layers- Sometimes you want your shadows to be consistent across the board and don’t want to have to figure out exactly how each color should be altered. Using a multiply layer with a color on it (and it can be any kind of color depending on what kind of lighting you’re doing) can help you manage your values and keep things from getting disjointed. This also allows you to change the color of the shadow if you decide it isn’t working out quite how you wanted it to.

C) Quicker and Dirtier- Sometimes you just don’t want to do any kind of figuring anything out. You can take the flat colors of your painting, copy onto a new layer, and then adjust that layer’s hue, saturation, and value to find shadow colors that you like (and you can experiment with other color correction tools, don’t be shy, try new things!). Once you have a good shadow color, create a blank layer mask on the layer and then erase out bits of the mask to get the lighter colors to shine through.

And remember, if the colors look flat when you’re done, saturation is generally a way to breathe more life into things- Shadows don’t have to be just one layer, you can try doing multiple effects and layer multiple colors to achieve the look you want. Is the green shadow looking a little flat? Try putting some yellow down in an Overlay layer and see if that’ll help it pop.

These are only three of the MANY ways digital programs can help us create art. Experiment! Try something new! Don’t be afraid to mess up, that’s when you find the hidden treasures you didn’t know were there!

Now, all that said, if you have not yet, I strongly encourage you to learn some color theory. Understanding how light behaves and how colors are affected by that and how they interact with one another is something every artist should (in my opinion) take the time to learn. There are a lot of great free resources online that cover color theory and lighting. Google is your best friend! Take advantage of your access to these resources, please!

Sup. Been a while.

So I got a question asking me to clarify what I meant about cutting the color wheel in half so here we go.

using a grey, completely desaturated ball here because for this is doesn’t matter what color the flats are. This is a very typical lighting scheme. the shadow being a desaturated blue, and the highlights a very pale yellow. Paint using the colora on the direct opposite enda of the color wheel is a complimentary color scheme. But in the case of using it in shadow/multiply and highlight/screen layers with blending effects and all that jazz, we’re gonna call this a complimentary lighting scheme.

This is more close to natural lighting because we generally see natural light aka light that comes from the sun as yellow to orange. As a result, when we look at things in natural light, our eyes compensate but balancing out those very strong pale yellow colors with blue in the shadows. This is part of why when you stare at a light and you turn it off, you see afterimages of the light in the OPPOSITE color, because your eyes were compensating for the huge amount of light it was just taking in. Eyes are natural balancers/compensators/equalizers. The same happens when you shine a colored light. place an object in the light and the shadow will start to look like it’s complimentary color.

FUN FACT: This is why in hospitals surgeon smocks tend to be pastel blues and greens, to help compensate for all the red they have to stare at in surgery, sometimes for hours on end. It helps combat eye fatigue.

tbh, I have no idea what the original post was getting at with their suggestion, because if you follow those suggestions to the letter and don’t understand what you’re doing, you could end up with something that looks like crap and you don’t know why and then you blame yourself because the sample balls turned out so pretty so why did you painting not? Well none of those color balls look like they belong to the same lighting scheme, do they? Coloring something with multiple colors that way without understanding the principles of color theory is going to end up with a disjointed looking piece.

Now what if you don’t want to use natural lighting? What if you want to do a true analogous color or lighting scheme instead of complimentary? No problem, pull your colors like this:

In this case the actual direct light is leaning more blue green, so to compensate and make the shadows look as vibrant, make them more yellow green.

But Yoko, can we just choose one color and make the whole picture that?

Why yes. Yes you can. This is call a monochromatic color scheme and AKA it’s ADDING BLACK to your shadows and adding WHITE to your highlights. The colors will look much flatter and not as vibrant compared to the sample above, which is why beginners are discouraged from using black and white to shade and highlight. But you know what? Sometimes you just want that look. You don’t want a piece to be vibrant. So knowing that black desaturates helps you control the mood of a piece.

There are all kinds of crazy things you can do with light and shadow. It doesn’t even have to be one color, your lights and shadows could be multiple colors.

And they don’t even necessarily having to follow a specific color scheme (of which there are many: achromatic, monochromatic, complimentary, split complimentary, triadic, analogous, etc etc etc.)

You know who’s REALLY good at using colors liberally in shadows and highlights? Watercolorists. Watercolorists are the best at using color expressively.

Cuz

C’mon

Just

Look

These

Super

Neat

Paintings

So for real, just go hog wild and do what it is you like to do. Experiment. Find out what you like and what you don’t like. And remember that just because you start coloring something one way, doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind and do it different. Especially if this is art you’re making for yourself. Make art that you like. If you want to shade with black, shade with black. If you want to shade with white, shade with white. If you like your art then like your art and NEVER feel bad about it when someone tells you, “You should be doing it this way”. ESPECIALLY if it’s unsolicited feedback (but that’s a whooooole other can of worms). You can listen to feedback and use whatever knowledge you think is valuable, but you don’t HAVE to keep any of it. Throw it all away if you think it’s useless to you. That’s what’s pretty great about art; it’s not a math equation.

Trash Queen Out.
