Hey there, about not shading with black. I think it´s something about the atmosphere of the painting. when you do it with black it looks kind of de-saturated or something like that. In my opinion it looks better shading with color, but also depends on what is your intention on your work. There are no rules in art, just tips and guidelines, it´s always up to what each artist wants to achieve. I hope that makes some sense? But looking at your (amazing) art, I think you already knew...
oh no!!! i didnt mean it like that! i cant find the post rn but basically it was the op saying that you shouldnt shade w black and listed a bunch of colors with their respective “shades” when in reality thats just local color in white lighting. Everything can be shaded in w diff colors and tones! and i agree with you too. art depends on everybody and i highly advocate for people to give tips and advice but never make RULES.
what i meant about my comment in the post is that /that/ post was so condescending. the tone the vocabulary used everything. i can understand op not having that intention but also they should have been careful about the phrasing. and fuck they put it CAPITALIZED. we can all agree that capitalized words sound LIKE THEY ARE SHOUTING AT YOU. and just..you know it all sounded to me like “DONT DO THIS BECAUSE I THINK ITS BAD AND I HAVENT THOUGHT OF ALTERNATIVES” it came too abrasive to me. it discourages people to experiment and try different styles when they see posts with “NEVER DO THIS” type of tone you know?
Sorry if i came too aggressive in that post or was taken in a diff light. I didnt mean that. I’m always up for advice but never obtrusive comments that do not give you room to try out new things
