Robosa's Lil Shit Corner

Can I ask how you pick your colors[in shading or otherwise]? I've been looking at artist I admire recently for ways to improve my own coloring, and your pieces have such variety. I can look at shadows and see so many different colors in them, blues and purples and greens all shifting into a cohesive mass and it's all so fascinating!

I usually cheat a little bit with picking colors b/c it's very easy to do so with the use of color jitter + gouache brush :] ^first part is laying down the basic flats from whatever colors I think would be fun to use --> decide how strong and what temp (warm/cool) the shadows should b and lay down the shading layer based off of that --> add some slight color variation in the shadows (keeping in mind the general idea of light bouncing off of different surfaces) --> use the gouache brush to mix everything together and add the rough texture I like getting :]

Howthe fuck do you draw People... share your secrets.....

Best way to get better at drawing people/any other animal is to break things down into basic shapes so that it's easier to understand and work with (like so) ..beside that tho anatomy is very much one of those things you just have to study a lot to get a grasp of how it works. Mayb go through some photos of professional dancers/swimmers/anyone else who has very defined muscles*
