That was a huge thing I learned while painting when it came to black, and observed my own clothing to actually see it in action. The best black is to not even use black paint, but use the darkest shade of a specific color (red, brown, blue, green, etc.), give it a heavy wash, then take that base color again and make that the beginning of the color. It makes the colors on my figures explode and seem more natural. I've started to use a similar practice with white as well; base white, ink was the color I'm looking to make the prominent color, and then choose an appropriate shade (pink, lavender, pale blue, mint green, etc.) to paint over the wash, and give a layer of white as the final step. I know that painting in a digital format is vastly different though, but I'm sure the same techniques may be used...or I should just stick to painting figures, lol! XD
I also want to call this guy 'Cool Hand Luke.'Β
