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 :)

thanks this is super helpful! /gen

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

Be a shame if I reblogged this and spread the word

Sketches under the cut

I wanted to figure out how to draw them and my hands weren't hurting too bad after so I decided to draw an idea I had of the "leg pop" but both legs because he can fly. And then I realized I would have to draw kissing and I was like ugh no thank you! So I just drew them about to kiss instead. For the pose I took a picture of Lois and Clark kissing and cut it up five ways to Sunday.

Now I can't feel my drawing hand but that's just gonna be how it is if I wanna make art so c'est la vie.

Also I'm not gonna share the original sketches because they are incomprehensible, but originally I had them dressed as superboy and Robin before I drew Damian's eyes and didn't want to cover them up.

Say, what's the tag? Jondami or damijon?

WHY YOU SHOULD WRITE HORRIBLY:

1. You’ll never write anything if you don’t

That was Marinette’s cookie

An AU where after Hawk Moth finally gets the miraculous and finds out Adrien is Chat Noir, he sacrifices Marinette to bring back Emilie (he incorrectly believes Adrien will come around especially without ladybug to “poison his mind”)
