came home drunk last night and got way too excited to see my cat

haitian créole has my entire heart
i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors
“red and green are opposites 🥰” cool now how do i paint a tree with pinks and blues without it looking like a child’s finger painting or incongruous blobs of rainbow vomit
ok i can’t explain it very well but im looking for tips and techniques for rendering art like
with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, don’t distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing
is it too much to ask
gonna drop some sources I have saved on Pinterest! I don't know if these all link back to the original sources so apologies for that
cohesive but still contrasting
This kind of talks about color and composition
This is a bit about landscape specifically
Values & composition
Contrast in composition
Balance in colors & values
This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones
Cohesion within compositions/lighting
"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!
This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!
Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process
With the oranges painting you put as an example, I noticed they painted the lighter values more toward yellow - they also exaggerated the hues of the undertones of the photo, so I'm guessing they either did it in their head or bumped the saturation up to get a closer look! I really love these paintings you shared and I definitely share your desire to paint/draw like that :)
thanks this is super helpful! /gen

A series of pictures depicting issues for those who rely on wheelchairs.
A person with glasses sitting on a wheelchair stares at a door entrance located on a set of stairs.
Did you know... Some of us couldn’t even enter our own homes?
A crowd gathers in front of a bus, with a person on a wheelchair on the back, trying to get other people’s attention.
Please be mindful... Of those who can’t “push” their way around!
A woman with a hijab and glasses sits at a receptionist desk. A person on a wheelchair wearing a kippah is unable to reach the top to get her attention.
Simple things like reception desk height actually matters a lot!
A person on a wheelchair wearing a baseball hat backwards is unable to close the door to the restrooms. Despite this, the sign outside is marked as wheelchair accessible.
It is as if... Some doors aren’t meant to be closed!
A person on a wheelchair is frightened as their wheelchair goes down too fast down a ramp.
Did you know... That wheelchair ramps are steeper than recommended?
A man wearing a kippah is about to enter a temple, but covers his wheelchair wheels with a cover to keep the inside of the temple as clean as possible.
Wheelchairs go everywhere... But we can provide wheel covers for special places.
A picture of a parking lot Two cars are parked, one with most space to allow a disabled person to get on and off. A woman holding crutches is angered at a motorcycle parked in front of her car, which isn’t supposed to be there. A person on a wheelchair nearby notices her anger.
There’s a reason why... Certain space is allocated at disabled parking lots. And no, it’s not for your bike!
Two people stand in front of an automatic door. One is a child attempting to wave their hands to get it to open, and the other is a person on a wheelchair.
Notice that sometimes... Automatic door sensors are a bit short?
A bus is waiting at a stop. A person on a wheelchair is unable to get to the stop due to a steep ledge in front of them.
Are you aware that... Despite the upgraded buses, the bus stops need upgrading too?
A person on a wheelchair is using an ATM machine, which is placed at a lower position so they’re able to reach and use the machine comfortably.
In case you’re wondering... Why the new ATM machine designs are lower and slightly uncomfortable to use while standing up...

getting older is great idk why there’s this lie that “omg as soon as you hit 25 ur life is over and ur old” like no you get older and gain wisdom and confidence and imo you get even better looking as you age, like you learn sooo so much and I still have SO much life left to live, there’s so much left to see in this life :o)
Im 23 and its soooooo true

Finding a vandalized Wikipedia article while doing homework feels like winning the lottery with the ticket you found on the street
"Mandarin is Valeria's favorite fruit, if I could I would give her a hundred mandarins to prove my love for her, I love her so much fr, I wanna raise a hamster with her"

So I'm dating this guy for a while now and I asked him to be my boyfriend. I bought one of those snacks with a ring form and proposed him with it. I thought he would, AT LEAST, laugh (I mean, it's funny, right?)
He didn't laugh. He was all serious. He denied.
One upside to being a writer is you can write your own comfort fic. The downside is you still have to actually write it.

man out here has a tattoo on his arm. in yiddish. and my ma asks. well does that say what he think it does. and i says one sec, I'll find out what he thinks it means. he goes on abt how it's Important To His Faith As A Good Christian Boi and it means this and that from the bible, and I'm sittin there like. sir. sir. you have "shit" tattooed on your arm right now.
i hate my german colleagues refusing to accept that globalized culture is anglicized more than it is global. Asked them about the US states and they started listing them, about two dozen before they didn't know anymore, none visited the US. Couldn't tell me about a single chinese region, not a single turkish one, not even one city in vietnam. And like, hey i can't name much either, but that was the point. That there isn't really all that much global exchange of knowledge and culture as much as its just all anglicized or straight up americanized.
I redid this older comic I made for my storytelling class based on this post. Have some cute wlw love in your day.
It’s hard, if I had more free time I could make it so pretty, this is what I could throw together for the assignment.
