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!!
If you’re a visual learner…
