hey yall its me the Art Mom™ to help you shade pretty

rule 1: DO NOT SHADE WITH BLACK. EVER. IT NEVER LOOKS GOOD. 

• red- shade with a slightly darker shade of purple
  
• orange- slightly darker and more saturated shade of red
• yellow- i think like..a peach could work but make it a really light peach
  
• green- shade with darker and less saturated shade of blue or teal
  
• blue- shade with purple
  
• purple- a shade thats darker than the purple you’re using and maybe a little pink (MAYBE blue)
• pink- darker shade of red
• white- a really light lavender or blue..or i guess any really light colour??
• black- okay listen dont use pure black to colour anything unless you want to leave it with flat colours because you cant really shade black lol
• grey- a slightly darker shade of purple or blue (less saturated)
• brown- slightly darker and less saturated shade of purple or red

aaaaand thats all i got lol. let me know if there is anything i should add to this list!!

If you’re a visual learner…

I made some Balls of Colour to go with Art Mom™’s post:

This is lovely and helpful but WHY IN THE DEVILS NAME IS LENNY HIDING IN THE WHITE BALL
