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

gayvampyr

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

Values & composition

Contrast in composition

Balance in colors & values

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 :)

If you'd like 2 Print books that I absolutely reccomend to every visual artist regardless of Media, Color and Light and Imaginative Realism by James Gurney are basically religious texts for artists, even the 3-D people because his understanding and explanation of how light and form work is that damn good.

If you're wondering about Mr. Gurney's chops:

James Gurney is the Dinotopia Guy (that link includes his Dinotopia books, prints and online classes too)

Freddy freeman and cissie sommerly!

Hi! I was reading chapter 16 of Mystery’s Magic of Shazam and I came across an official ship (mostly one-sided because of Cissie Somerly) and I was absolutely like “OMG! That’s so cool!”.

Don’t get me wrong, I really hate that this was presented as a love triangle idea (and I really love her ship with Billy because of the first love vibes and all the sweetness they had in the golden and bronze/silver ages [of the few appearances DC made after acquiring the rights to the characters from Fawcett Publications]). BUT, the idea that our golden girl appeared as absolutely cool but still sweet having a crush on Freddy is much more rewarding than Billy initially, God willing the writers won’t ruin it but we know they will, because when haven’t they?

Throughout most of my life, especially during high school, I was surrounded by people with physical and hidden disabilities (my little brother and most of my high school friends), and thanks to that I realized how difficult it is to witness things that many take for granted or consider easy, in addition to the flood of conscious and unconscious ableist thoughts in the form of ignorant, malicious comments stemming from misinformation, the fact that they are often left out of conversations or witnessed people talking about them as if they weren’t there, and how this greatly affects their chances of experiencing romantic love.

In virtually every comic book, Freddy has been portrayed as a moral support, often sidelined in the plot and subjected to other subtle forms of ableism by writers, beyond the obvious internalized ableism Freddy experienced in the Golden Age and his current low self-esteem. Therefore, having a character who genuinely seems (for now) to like Freddy for who he is, even knowing his disability, and to use that passion to improve as a person is very rewarding, as it’s something so uncommon in real life and gives hope that my friends and little brother still have a possibility, however small, of achieving that!

It’s great when this positive representation is done in comics, and I hope they don’t ruin it but reuse it to enhance the official stories of the main universe.

He finally let his guard down for her entirely

Some people were talking about the hanahaki trope on the Captain Marvel discord and I was reminded of my hanahaki fic where Billy's always coughing up flowers because he'd rather die than be honest about his feelings

Scenario where Kit teases Freddy, this popped up randomly in my mind.

-----

Kit and freddy are seen having a picnic at the park

" hey brother.."

Freddy is seen drinking with his lemonade, "hm?"

"you love Mary that way, don't you?"

Freddy sighed, "listen, I've decided that those feelings I have for her... it doesn't matter. What matters is that all of us stay as a family, and I intend to keep it that way."

Kit asked bluntly as he smiled "oh then you wouldn't mind if i asked her on a date?"

Freddy spits out his lemonade with an even sour looking face than his drink

" ...e-excuse me?!"

Kit laughed

" BWAHAHAHA! Kidding kidding, Billy would killed me for the second time if I did, you shoulda seen your face"

Freddy felt embarassed "....I hate you"

Kit smiled cheekily" love you too brother"

-----

Did this while half asleep so im sorry if its not in character(kit being cheeky and freddy being shy)

The king listens to you. The prince learns from you. You can raise commoners to greatness and humble foolish nobles. But the court never could understand the power you hold because they can’t look beyond the jester costume.

Damian and Tim's last name have to be my favorite head cannon I've ever seen for the Batfamily.

Like let Damian have this one kind of childish thing.

His older brother's last name is literally dragon.

Of course he wants to call him that.

Also, I just wanna make it know. I did not know Drake meant duck but I've always known Drake meant dragon. So the tiny child obsessed with animals is gonna call him dragon.

I could also honestly see if a lot of Damians behaviors have roots in a childish, kind of imagination type thing.

Now realistically children who grew up in a traumatic environment, tend to make escapes in their own head. Or have fantasy worlds that they can take comfort in or find protection in.

So if you were a mini assassin child, who grew up in a world where magic actually exist, aka People can do really cool shit.

Would you not also maybe hold onto some kind of outdated or fantasy like beliefs?

Cause I'm gonna be really honest with you I do think Damian most likely realize his father was not actually that impressive, but do you think in his own mind being the heir to the bat. A prince might've had an appeal on another angle.

Honestly, so much of Damian really seems like a little kid trying to find power in a situation where he does not have any. I am not trying to talk shit about Damian This is meant of I always see discussions about Damien's behaviors and we always tend to give it like oh he must've been told this. Or this is a part of the league of assassins.

Yet so much of his kind of out there behaviors I feel like are a textbook PTSD thing.

Something I think is super important to remember is trauma and mental illness are very layered things. maybe Damien was told something along the lines, but then you combined an active imagination of a child trying to escape the harshness of what is going on in his life. Then you add more trauma on top of it. It really tends to twist into like this giant ball of twine that it would take 400 Therapists and psychologist's to unwind.

Instead, you get Dick Grayson with some hopes and dreams and that's about it.

So in conclusion, Damian calls Tim a dragon.

“Girls want a Superman, but they walk past a Clark Kent every day”

You fuckin CLOWNS think you’re a CLARK KENT? Not on my fuckin watch. You dumb, headass motherfuckers are barely a Guy Gardner and you think you’re a CLARK KENT? The amount of disrespect is unreal.

Listen here, wannabes: My boi Clark is 240 lbs of PURE KANSAS BEEF trained from a young age by Ma Kent to Love and Respect women as the Intelligent, Independent beings they are. He is shy rambling about tractors and casually moving the copy machine when my pen falls behind it and he would NEVER demand I be sexually or romantically interested just because he’s nice.

Y’all ain’t Clark Kent.
