SUNNYWORLD! @sunhorns - Tumblr Blog

🌞 HELLO !!!!!

Welcome to my art blog, you can call me Sun! I'm a 24yo artist, enjoyer of sunlight, petter of cats, and maker of many things ^_^

From this blog you can expect inconsistent reblogs as well as my art, whenever I remember to post it :P My art is free to use for icons, edits, headers, etc. with credit!

Currently I'm mostly into mcyt (hermitcraft/life series), mlp, tokyo mew mew, yttd, witch's heart, homicipher, pacific rim, and a ton of other things I may or may not post about

You can find all my social links here! I am varyingly active between them, but if you need to get in contact with me then you can always add me on discord under the same username :]

Thanks for reading & enjoy your stay! 🌞

what they don't tell you about learning to draw is that at a certain point of obsession you start to see everything as a potential reference. i frequently have to force myself to stop breaking the general public and my surroundings down into illustrative components during conversations and everyday tasks.

i'm like the lion from madagascar but instead of raw steaks i see people as lines of action and fabric folds and lighting directions

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

a merry mishima for christmas💚

i hope everyone is having a wonderful day ^o^

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 :)

If you'd like 2 Print books that I absolutely reccomend to every visual artist regardless of Media, Color and Light and Imaginative Realism by James Gurney are basically religious texts for artists, even the 3-D people because his understanding and explanation of how light and form work is that damn good.

If you're wondering about Mr. Gurney's chops:

James Gurney is the Dinotopia Guy (that link includes his Dinotopia books, prints and online classes too)

KEEP STARTING NEW WIPS‼️ you never know if THIS will be the one that you still get stuck on, but this time your frustration with getting stuck on it will lead you to finally get work done on the older wips. 99% OF ARTISTS QUIT BEFORE THEY HIT BIG 💥
