Phenomenon I feel happens a lot
[ID: a doodle of two people looking away from each other. The first person is thinking, "If they wanted me to know they would tell me. I shouldn't ask about it." The second person is thinking, "If they cared about it they would ask me. I shouldn't talk About it." End ID.]
LGBTQ PEOPLE! if you were thinking of looking up your emotionally abusive cishet ex girlfriend/ex best friend from high school and/or college, DON’T. let me make it easier for you. if you were wondering what she’s up to now, it’s probably one of these
- nurse
- charity coordinator that is under IRS investigation
- racist
- housewife to doctor who she will probably kill
- writing job (thinkpieces on medium about taylor swift, “imposter syndrome” or writes the dialog for the duolingo owl)
- racist nurse
- catholic convert (unemployed)
stay safe. do not open facebook
i hate that every time i look for color studies and tips to improve my art and make it more dynamic and interesting all that comes up are rudimentary explanations of the color wheel that explain it to me like im in 1st grade and just now discovering my primary colors
“red and green are opposites 🥰” cool now how do i paint a tree with pinks and blues without it looking like a child’s finger painting or incongruous blobs of rainbow vomit
ok i can’t explain it very well but im looking for tips and techniques for rendering art like
with specifically the highlights and colors being hues that compliment each other, don’t distract from the scene, and make it more interesting/visually appealing
is it too much to ask
gonna drop some sources I have saved on Pinterest! I don't know if these all link back to the original sources so apologies for that
cohesive but still contrasting
This kind of talks about color and composition
This is a bit about landscape specifically
This one's more for palette building but I think it's useful and can be applied to the other ones
Cohesion within compositions/lighting
"Chromatic fringe" - I also see people using this with shading, they bring in a transition color that is a different hue than the base color or shadow, it makes it so that less vibrancy is lost and it doesn't get muddy!
This one specifically has a lot of process behind the style of painting you're looking for!
Also one of my favorite artists who makes bright and colorful art like this is Not Sorry Art on TikTok & YouTube, her website is here and it's<3 my fav. She has some videos where you can see her process
With the oranges painting you put as an example, I noticed they painted the lighter values more toward yellow - they also exaggerated the hues of the undertones of the photo, so I'm guessing they either did it in their head or bumped the saturation up to get a closer look! I really love these paintings you shared and I definitely share your desire to paint/draw like that :)
thanks this is super helpful! /gen

LIVE ACTION PRACTICAL EFFECTS TABAXI
LOOK AT THIS NOBLE CRITTER
There really is something lost with CG. even the parts you can tell it’s an effect have a charm that CG cant replicate
MAJESTIC
It’s the Hensen Effect, baby! Even the best CGI will always one day be outdated, but cool puppets will ALWAYS be cool puppets.
I love me some cool puppet content :D
