Art Tip: Choosing Light and Shadow Colors (Patreon)

Happy Art Tip Tuesday!

Here's a guide for choosing light and shadow colors. If you want more colorful artwork, you need to change the hue of your colors with the lighting. It is as simple as nudging the hue on the color picker toward yellow for colors in the light, and nudging toward blue for colors in the shadows. I included examples of colors on both halves of the color wheel and a ball with two colors on the surface.

In the future I can make guides for colored lights that aren't yellow, I just chose yellow for this one since yellow light and blue shadows is what you would use for an outdoor setting. For the next few weeks I'll likely be making skin art tips as requested by some patrons.

As always, feel free to ask questions or request other art tips.

Thanks!
