UPDATE:

The other day I was surfing the internet and I found this specialized painting colour wheel, it shows how real paint colours relate to each other.

Outside: the purest/brightest colours from the tube.

Inside: naturally muted or earthy colors, like browns and ochres.

The Center: dark neutral tones used for mixing shadows.

The Lines: two equilateral triangles. One shows the triad of primary colors, and the other shows the triad of secondary colors. Triads are traditionally used to create vibrant yet perfectly balanced compositions.

Complementary colors: are those located directly opposite each other on the wheel.

Shadows I:

If you want to achieve rich, dark neutrals, the standard rule is to mix a color with its direct complementary (opposite) tone. However, doing this can often make your shadows look flat or muddy.

Instead of using the exact complementary color, the real trick is to use one of the colors right next to it (either to the left or the right). By doing this, you avoid a dull mix and introduce a beautiful, subtle color bias into your shadow, keeping it clean and full of life. You can see an example of this in the second image.

I want to share this with you because I think it is really illustrative!

Skye's At-Least-Once-a-Month Artpiece Challenge of 2026 - April

For April, I decided to try and recreate my Air Riders license to better showcase how I think it would look for real. I left out a few elements but I still got most of it into the drawing. Had to cut it close though, work ate up a lot of my time so I couldn't complete this one as quickly. For this one, I challenged myself on the following:

Backgrounds, this one was considerably more complicated than my previous ones - even the Spiral Knights one - so I figured it'd be a good way to grow my skill with them.

Environmental lighting, my previous pieces have all had roughly the same type of lighting not affected by the environment at all, so I decided to rectify that here to start learning how to do it.

More perspective work, especially with Taranza's hands, it was quite challenging to get them to look right especially since I wanted each pair to be doing something different.

Overall I'm very happy with how this turned out and had a lot of fun working on it. My next drawing(s) will be quite a bit simpler so hopefully I'll be able to finish them faster.

(Yes I'm aware I'm posting this in May but I just forgot to post it here)

NEW TUMBLR SCAM

So some asshole has thought up a new Tumblr scam: it's a post on a Tumblr account that's named something to make it look official-ish.

Variations include:

account-help

account-sync

account-update

account-updating

These posts show up on your dashboard, telling you that because they think you've monetized your Tumblr account, they're putting you in the penalty box sending you to the cornfield setting you to "Lurker Mode" where you can post but no one will see your posts. And, naturally, all you have to do is click on the helpful link to give tumblrsupport your account data to get it fixed.

Friends, this is a big fat lie.

The official location of Tumblr Support is https://www.tumblr.com/support or https://support.tumblr.com. And guess what? They'll already have your account information.

Tumblr has no such thing as Lurker Mode.

If you right-click on their link, you'll see it's a munged/shortened link. You can go to a site like https://www.expandurl.net to expand that link and see where it takes you: it's not Tumblr Support.

@staff, please be aware this is happening.

Be aware. Be careful. Don't give your account info to anyone. Be safe, and happy blogging!
