Here To Eat Your Heart Out! 🤌
it's a drawing I did on stream a few days back and forgot to post on here. It's been a while since I've drawn, so she might look a little funky..
speaking of drawing, how do you shade 😠I was trying to do that with this one, but all the colors just look like different reds on the dress!
I mean, i love the way it ended up looking, but I'm so confused about how to shade properly. Every piece I do looks totally different because of that 🫠😔
Shading is a crucial technique that can help elevate your artwork, making it more dynamic and lifelike. When shading, consider using a gradient of colors instead of flat tones to create depth and interest. Different mediums, such as pencils, charcoal, or digital tools, can produce varying effects, so experiment to see what works best for you. For instance, when working with reds, try incorporating complementary colors like greens or yellows to add complexity and avoid a muddy appearance. In addition, studying how light interacts with different surfaces will enhance your ability to depict textures realistically. If you're still struggling, watching tutorials or joining an art community can provide invaluable insights and encouragement. Engage in discussions about your challenges and successes to keep the creative spark alive. Sharing your work on platforms like Lemon8 allows for constructive feedback and inspiration from fellow artists! Every artist has their own unique process, and embracing imperfections can lead to growth and improvement in your craft. Don't hesitate to share your journey with shading and color mixing; it may resonate with others facing similar challenges. Remember, practice makes perfect, and each artwork is an opportunity to learn something new. Happy drawing!
