What's Your Process For Coloring And Shading? I'm A Beginner When It Comes To Those Elements With Art

what's your process for coloring and shading? I'm a beginner when it comes to those elements with art and I'm super inspired by your artstyle! <3

well I'd say there isn't really a process behind it!

I'm very simple. bc I quickly get overwhelmed by ADHD.

I line my sketch... and then I bucket-tool fill it with the canon eyedropper-picked colors... and then I throw some cell shading on there. on the exact same layer.

I got 2 layers; lines, and colors.

since it's a cartoon character you'll wanna keep it simple and limit the amount of colors you use to 1-2 shades for any surface max. even the shading color is actually just color picked off canon screenshots. I don't use layer modes.

the only tip I can give is to not put all the shading just on the edges of everything. use big shapes, be confident, don't blur or airbrush it if you don't know what you're doing with those tools. triangle shapes are especially nice for clothes.

think of where exactly the light source comes from before starting to shade/render, if necessary literally draw a small lamp into the corner.

the magic in my art comes from duplicating and Gaussian blurring my lineart and the particular settings I use to adjust the colors with Correction Layers (in CSP. if curious I could simply give out all of my exact settings here or you're freely allowed to color pick off my art, no credit since I don't own colors.) trust me you don't wanna see my art without those tweaks

someone mistook me for TJ bc of my username... and tagged me in a rap battle venue that he's attending... anyway we all took it with humor and someone told me that I look a good bit like him. and he's just about the most handsome irl man I have ever laid my eyes upon and that's saying smth bc I'm an extremely indifferent aroace.

so excuse me while I go cry an endless river of tears of joy over the quite possibly best compliment I've ever received in my life that is washing away 25 years of insecurities instantaneously.

I figured I never shared this one here? the art vs. artist thing of 2024, I don't wanna show my full face on big platforms but yehh!

villainous paperhat other's beautiful art I'm pretty sure that is the only way he can possibly love his job despite everything he goes thru he loves his job BECAUSE of what he goes thru🤭 you need to be a little masochistic if you work for Black Hat it's in the job application

Similar scenarios happen to me so often, it's not even normal anymore

flug’s the kind of man who would accidentally toss his cup of coffee onto his bed instead of the stack of paperwork he has in his other hand
