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

[gayvampyr]

“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

[gayvampyr]

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 :)

I don’t mind at all! I got it from Cosplay Sky 👌👌 though I altered it to fit a little nicer and replaced the buttons lol

I love our little squad TwT 💜💜

[quirkysunflowercosplay]

Gwyn: @quirkysunflowercosplay Augus: @superherosofa 🌱💧🌱💧🌱💧🌱💧🌱💧🌱💧🌱💧🌱 We cosplayed our favorite fae boys TwT We posted these on insta a while ago but I wanted them here too lol. The interpretation of the characters as we have cosplayed them belong to the ever wonderful @not-poignant 😩😩👌👌 Seriously though if you haven’t checked out any of their work on Ao3 you have to, their stories are beautifully written and always have me wanting to read more. Their writing inspires me and motivates me to practice my own and continue my attempts at storytelling. 💜💜💜 So in short, thank you for rekindling my love of writing. :’)))
