Heyo~

So I use this page mostly for fanart and such. Though I do have a webcomic series that I write and illustrate call "The Tricksters Abreast Tales" on Tapas.

It's an urban-fantasy where the paranormal coexist with the everyday. It focuses on two pairs of people; a teen girl who befriends a half-trickster, and two governmental agents who specialize in paranormal based cases.

If that sounds up your ally then take a gander!

CHUCKY 1.02 | "Give Me Something Good to Eat"

About this: I saw the ghost bride hey arnold fanart timelapse and how were you able to know that the "blueish" colors felt right? (its right... – @impactrueno on Tumblr How do you feel about picking a color, say a deep orange in this example, and using that for a "Multiplied" layer for shading a character in, again for this example, a sunset?

i got a similar ask about this a while back and i've been working on something to better explain what i mean because i'm not too happy with that guide anymore so i'm just gonna address both here!

in my original post i talk about choosing analogous colors rather than using layer settings, but you guys are asking about multiply layers so let's talk about that since frankly they do save up a lot of time and headaches AND they can help understand color more easily so we can pick the palette from scratch next time.

right, so we have our guy.

in the sunset example, a deep orange multiply layer would look something like this:

however, in my previous guide i said that usually warm lighting means cool shadows. this isn't always the case, however, because the color of your shadows are determined by your environment and bounce lighting. shadows on their own have no color because they're just absence of light, so the color we perceive them to be is what's being projected onto the subject.

this same sunset with cool shadows would look a bit like this:

if that looks more natural even though it doesn't match the orange of the background, it's because sunsets only look orange around the area the sun is in the sky, so the color of the sky that's facing our character here would not be projecting an orange glow onto him.

while it's not a hard rule, like i said, usually warm lighting comes with cool shadows. i think it's also worth keeping in mind that reference photos can look very different from one another because of editing, exposure levels, filters, weather and time of day, etc. so also take your own outdoors observations into account. always observe colors when you go outside if ever (don't be like me)

here's another sunset example except the sunset is now behind our viewpoint and facing the character from the front. he's not fully lit up, perhaps he's standing under something where the sun light doesn't reach him directly. i used a red glow to indicate sun this time only because i think it looks cool with the teal sky:

now addressing the ask with the "pikachu in a green house" example: yes, i suppose using a multiply layer that matches the color of the environment works. after all, like i said up there, shadows will usually reflect the color of the surroundings the subject is in.

this was a lot of blabbing about colors and i didn't even touch on values which is also super important!!! but i'd like to do some studies before i talk about that to make sure i'm not talking out of my ass. hope this helps though!!

also this was originally going to be a patreon exclusive post but the more i think about it, the less i like the idea of putting educational material behind a paywall. i think this stuff should be more accessible for the people who can make use of it. so i will only put out there that if this helps you and you enjoy my content, i have my patreon and ko-fi if you can afford supporting me with a couple of bucks so i can continue making stuff like this 🫶

I saw the ghost bride hey arnold fanart timelapse and how were you able to know that the "blueish" colors felt right? (its right when you put the base flat colors then added like a "blue filter" to the colors, around 1:42). I color picked the colors and its crazy, helgas "skincolor" is actually a blueish gray but beside all the other colors it looks like her skincolor.

I've seen it in many cases when they put a character in a different backgrounds so they gotta match the characters colors to not feel out of place, but I have no idea how to do that.

(the timelapse in question)

honestly i just eyeballed it, it doesn't have to be the right color at first because you can always adjust as you go along. note that this grayish blue layer i put on top of the base colors ended up looking warmer once i added the rim lighting, which was a more saturated blue.

as i added more warm elements to the background (aka purple and magenta) that initial blue shading layer had to be adjusted to match. you may notice the shadows on helga ended up being more greenish than blue. that's because it's the complementary color to magenta, meaning they're on opposite ends of the color wheel. between those two sits blue-teal, which i used for the lighting. i think those are three of four colors making up a tetradic palette? the remaining one would be orange, which i didn't use.

that's the walkthrough for that specific piece but let's talk a bit more about how to pick colors for shading, lighting and backgrounds:

i didn't touch on values because that's a bit trickier, it depends on not just the color but also the material you're coloring (a soft wool sweater isn't gonna have the same contrasting values between lights and shadows as, say, a shiny leather jacket.)

i hope this made sense? these aren't hard rules, obviously you can go crazy with colors in art if you so choose. sometimes you have to bend the rules to get the desired effect.

I've been in a bit of an art funk lately, so I decided to do a little redraw of this piece from 2021.

Due to its surprising popularity on the many places it's been posted and reposted to, I decided to finally complete this little wlw sketch that I had kind of given up on. I'm hoping to have it riso printed soon !

I've read a lot of Theories on why Caine might’ve altered Scratch's mind, and I'm really not sure what will be canon. But right now I personally like the idea that it was yet another case of Caine committing War Crimes out of the fear of being abandoned.
