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 :)

The fact that Rocky in the movie says “I” is sending me. He could just do that this whole time and spoke in silly 3rd person for the love of the game

I think they should give a wheelchair user a miraculous and have them pilot a gigantic OP Mecha

say what you will about the writing but they must have been doing something right because you've been obsessed with this since you were 12

I can't take any screenshots of chat noir being angry seriously he looks like a baby

I understand the redesign they gave Adrien in the new art style. It takes physical features into account for character design with a wider consideration past a guy with a face. he looks way more like cat now, which was definitely the intention (specifically matches with the most common image results for black cats). It even goes with his whole damsel in distress thing. But the small mouth really grinds my gears.

I get why its like that, but I had the same problem with Marinette from day 1 because the animation is stylized with exaggerated expressions but the effect that they're going for just kind feels awkward with one of the most important things for conveying emotions being so small. It also would also make scenes in which he is feeling emotions stronger than calm-happy or piano-music-sad lose their impact without the use of a very limited range of camera angles, which are also really important for setting tone. And taking away a big emotional range from what is assumedly going to be the rest of the show from a pretty emotional character / just makes the emotions look kinda bad.

tldr; the animators are trying to animate the show like it's still 2-d, but they can't pull the same tricks because of the stiff character models and it looks weird with the new character design.

actually his face is no longer suited for mischief whichh I also dislike

#I still apologize for this #also here's what I said in the tags earlier #I am glad it didn't air as 2d because I don't think it would have gotten popular like that #& I'm pretty sure its just all around worse on the animators to make 2d than 3d #I haven't colored 2d animation on a big scale or animated anything in 3d so I can't say anything from experience #rant #ml season 6 #ml #miraculous ladybug #adrien agreste

love how Adrien's main role in Marinette's life right now is saying he loves her and dropping deeply ironic lines about her massive bubble-wrap shaped web of lies
