★★ say you have a blue and white character.
Please for the love of god
Do not shade the art in blue.
If you have a purple and white character, do not shade the art in purple.
When you do this, you drag out all the contrast from the white marks and the entire character ends up one color and it just looks bad.
I see this so often.
Tbh I don’t even think they need white in them
If you have a green character and you shade them with a darker green it does not look like shading.
It makes the entire character look like a multi-toned mess.
And pleaseeeeee
Do not shade with black unless you want a super edgy piece.
Black sucks out all of the color in art and makes things look dull and ashy
FA+





tips
Like if I can lighten the black enough to where I can shade it properly I’m totally cool with it. It’s just a bit harder to work with
It depends on how exactly the artist shades their stuff
