shading colour tips

hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty

rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD. 

red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple

orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red

yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach

green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal

blue- shade with purple

purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)

pink- darker shade of red

white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??

black- okay listen dont use pure black to colour anything unless you want to leave it with flat colours because you cant really shade black lol

grey- a slightly darker shade of purple or blue (less saturated)

brown- slightly darker and less saturated shade of purple or red

aaaaand thats all i got lol. let me know if there is anything i should add to this list!!

Hope this helps!

im in a really fluffy mood today 

how did you figure out how to do hands

well when I do hands I tend to break them into 3 big shapes 

starting with the wrist then palm, thumb then the fingers 

once I have the big shapes in I separate the fingers

here are some more examples of the different parts

one of the best ways that I learned how to draw hands was to draw a LOT of them, in different poses, while looking at a reference. This is a site that I found useful, 

it has 3D models of hands that you can change the view so you can see the same pose from different angles. p.s. this site i linked to does contain nude figures just a heads up  

hi!! i actually just got sai and i was wondering if u had any tips for it?? thanks in advance!!

BUTTONS

Shortcut buttons are your best friend. Rework your brushes to a certain keyboard button and remember them, it’s easier and faster than manually changing them.

CTRL-ALT changes your brushes sizes on the spot.

SPACEBAR is to move the canvas but not the drawing itself

CTRL moves the drawing

CTRL-SHIFT moves a layer drawing

ALT is the eyedropper tool if you don’t want to right click.

ALT-SPACEBAR turns the canvas

CTRL-SPACEBAR does the zoom in.

CTRL-ALT-SPACEBAR does the zoom out

H will flip the canvas horizontally, just the canvas.

CTRL-Z Undo

CTRL-Y Not undo

CTRL-F fill in selection

SHIFT additional selection

ALT delete selection

GROUP MOVING

CTRL-CLICK

Click on the layer to select a thing.

PRESERVE OPACITY

In case clipping group doesn’t always help, preserve opacity helps you colour a certain thing.

STABLIZER

CTRL ONLY ON SELECT

The transform tool itself does a lot of things, but press CTRL while in select mod can free deform your selection without having to switch.

CTRL-SHIFT ON SELECT

;w; If you need to know more like brushes and other various things, you can always look them up, but for now I hope this helped !!

If you're an artist looking to diversify your faces:

click this link

draw whomever you get

don’t worry about making it super-accurate, just focus on the characteristic parts of the face and have fun

the outcome might not look like the ref, but it will be different and more varied than faces you draw out of your head, an dprobably pretty rad on its own right!

feel free to reblog with your drawing, if you want!
