hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty

rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD. 

red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple

orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red

yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach

green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal

blue- shade with purple

purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)

pink- darker shade of red

white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??

black- okay listen dont use pure black to colour anything unless you want to leave it with flat colours because you cant really shade black lol

grey- a slightly darker shade of purple or blue (less saturated)

brown- slightly darker and less saturated shade of purple or red

I made some Balls of Colour to go with Art Mom™’s post:

I dunno if they sound similar, but here’s some 

Songs Rated out of 10 for Werewolfness

Full Moon by Sonata Arctica - Literally just a rock ballad about a werewolf man on the run.  VERY fun to sing along with.  10/10

Be Nice to Me by The Front Bottoms - Mostly about a relationship, but features the line “You’re a werewolf, and I’m the full moon”.  Bonus points for the singer howling the word werewolf. 5/10

Poison by Stick and Poke - Stick and Poke have other songs that are more explicitly about wolves or foxes but I think this one really embodies the feral lifestyle.  “Something’s boiling in my blood” indeed.  6/10

Monsters of the North by The National Parks - If this isn’t two werewolves on a road trip together in love, I don’t know what is.  Beautiful song.  There should be a Wolf Children video with it, but there isn’t fsr.  Never says the word werewolf, though, so 8/10

Lonesome Wolf by Dawson Hollow - Has the wolf theme going for it, but feels less werewolfy.  Mostly just about being lonely. 3/10

If Only by Fiction Plane - This song is from the Holes soundtrack and no one knows about it and it’s very good!!  It ostensibly features A Wolf, but I’m mainly sharing it here because it is criminally unknown. 2/10

Dog Days Are Over by Florence & the Machine - Despite not being about wolves or even really dogs, I can’t help feeling Werewolf Energy from this one, and the feeling is important.  4/10

Teeth by 5 Seconds of Summer - A dark and sexy song about teeth and blood and stuff.  Could also be a vampire song, I guess, but this is my list and I want a sexy werewolf song on it. 1/10

The Wolf by SIAMèS - For some reason I was loathe to include this one, even though I do like it; perhaps it seemed too obvious?  But a fresh look at the lyrics made me realize it belonged on the list.  Very Lycanthropy As A Curse.  Kick-ass music video too, of course!  9/10

White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes - Mentions a clearly supernatural pack of some kind.  If not werewolves, definitely magical wolves! 5/10
