I absolutely love your art! It's absolutely breathtaking! So I need advice, what colors can I use to shade other colors? I want to improve my shading a small bit. I'm sorry if this is sudden.

Ah you sure you want me to give that advice😅 I draw in a rather messy way and I kinda suck at shading. Here’s how I do it most of the time, but please leave these behind immediately if you find out it’s not working for you.





It’s a small explanation I did for my friend, and I think number 2 matches your question the most.

2. It really isn’t something special. This shading method is pretty common so I won’t say much. Basically go counterclockwise on the color wheel when shading instead of going down for a darker color on the same spot of the color wheel. This will make the picture less grey-ish. Sometimes you can go clockwise, too.

4. This is just something I really want to mention because LINING OMG LINING. Lining is so important to me. My stuff looks like unicorn barf before I line it. I know there’re plenty of amazing artists who can do masterpiece without lining but they’re all freaking Da Vinci reborn so who are we kidding just let them do their magic. Lining is really important when it comes to emphasizing the things you want to show and hiding the messy parts. It’s a really important part of shading, too.

But at the end, it’s all about trials and errors. Just have fun and try new things, and you’ll get there, buddy :)

Sure hope this helps. 😅😅
