She says hello

Remember the car I said I'll draw? :)

I drew it! :D

Adding the sketch :)

Mmmmmh

cubes

Pic 1 :

This time i was trying to color a simple cube. I started with 1 (cause it's the 1st duh), which allow me to know how values works.

Then I wanted to try with colors. 2nd was drawn by using the closest cooler colors for shade and the closest warmer colors for light, without changing the value.

3rd was drawn using the 1st cube values as base, and 4th by only changing the contrast.

2nd pic:

I set the canva saturation at 0.

As you can see, 4th is a catastrophe. It's ugly. Boooo. Shading by varying the contrast is a bad idea.

3rd is very well made. We love 3rd. Do you love 3rd? Of course you do. I love the side's color.

But now, something that I can't understand : 2nd look very good in colors, although the values are the same.

I can't believe I'm learning this stuff only now. Well, better late than never

I always pick colors with no consideration on how colors works, and hide the mess with gradients and blend modes, like putting sprinkles on a burned cake

So I'm now studying! >:(

No more blend modes! No more gradients! Until i know how to color at least!

1st pic :

I tried to draw with value in mind. I read that the farther something is, the higher is its value. So i drew 1A, and set Saturation to 0 in 2A to see how it worked.

I then wanted to draw shadows. I don't know where I read this but it's something that was... Like sitting somewhere in my head lol like a random memory of some random tip. I picked the opposite of green on the color wheel (which is purple). It's something about cold/warm colors being at the opposite of the color wheel I guess

I drew 1B but something was wrong and i was right, 2B shows than the shadows values are mixing. So I drew 1C with more saturated shadows. It still look weird though I don't know why

But 1A look very good! :)

2nd pic :

Trying to understand how saturation and value impacted colors.

She look like a very old 3D character lol

I have to study seriously now...

Tbh the drawing that made me want to use color more appropriately was Bacun's last drawing he posted on bluesky :

https://bsky.app/profile/bacun.bsky.social/post/3ljk4dim4bc2f

It's super simple yet beautiful. I picked some colors from his drawing in my drawing app and it's crazy to see that the color he used for the sky isn't really that bright. It's just that he used the right colors to make the scene brighter... he used value!

I don't know how to make sense of it, but how we see color depends on the lighting, the shading, the ambience, the reflection, etc.... that's just crazy. Color is crazy...

So if i want to draw beautiful and colorful art and characters, I have to know exactly what color I'll use, and why, and not throw whatever colors and hide the mess with random blend modes and gradients...

Something was missing in my car drawings, and it was proper coloring and rendering!

I will try to draw this car with actually learning about render stuff :

I'd like to receive some rendering/coloring tips! :D

My last drawing was from the 1st march and we're the 5th....

I drew some cop cars yesterday though.

Also, yesterday, I have gotten to the library with my siblings to pick books for them, and I got internally angry when I saw all these child books with nice drawings on them. I mean, some were really nice!

I wunder how annoy it woud b if I started 2 write liek lolcats
