Your examples were so helpful!


SO TRUE xD I hate trying to shade yellow things haha!

I'm really excited to try out some of the things I've learned now. I really like the idea of the tonal pieces as well, as I'm sure my placing of light sources etc. could also use a lot of work!

Awesome guide, thank you! :D
No problem! Always happy to help! I hope to continue making guides for the comics section and art sections (Got one up in comics so far too!)- I'm trying to put in as much theory as possible since a lot of art is subjective. That's why theory stuff is good to cover- cause they're really good things to know on what typically makes a good image. I'll probably make a guide on composition and whatnot since that's a lot on theory stuff too.

And yeah, Yellow is just an awful color at times. I always shade yellows with other warms just cause it looks better for me.

And tonal studies are quite helpful! I hate them cause I'm a color person, but tonals are still good.
