Yellow object? -gasp- Look to the left there. It’s orange. Want extra dark shading in there? What’s next to orange? Oh it’s red. Hello there red. Why don’t I put a little bit of you where the shading would be heaviest? Neat.

Or you could go the opposite way and shade with green and heavily shade with a darker blue. Color wheel. Or you could go complimentary style and criss cross that shit and make it contrast. Color wheels.

This this this!

Neveeeer shade under the shade.

Nude it a little to the next closest color, or spin it to a wildly different one. It makes for pretty results.

This is my favourite combination.

Light reds with greens and browns.
