⭐ Pixel Art Fundamentals - Hue Shifting
This technique is not uniquely specific to pixel art, but it's a very common term to hear when starting out watching those "dos and don'ts" videos. So what is hue shifting?
Hue shifting basically means to change the hue when making your shade darker or lighter. In this context, 'hue' = colour!
You may hear 'you need to hue shift more' when getting feedback on your art, but what does that mean really? Here are some examples:
We can see even with just a bit of hue shifting, we have quite a different vibe for each drawing. In warm / daylight settings, no hue shifting can sometimes look a bit muddy or grey.
If we swap the image to grayscale, you can see that they look much the same:
As long as the hue shifted colours have a brightness that makes sense, they usually will work. You can get quite wacky with it.
But is hue shifting always good? Not necessarily.
Below is some of my art where I intentionally didn't hue-shift at all. You can see it gives them an uncanny, digital, or photographic kind of look. As always, techniques are about your intention, or personal style.
I recommend trying different hue shifting methods! I especially love to use a cool blue or teal for the lighter shades.
Thanks for reading and I hope this helped a little! Have fun with it!!

You know how most people in the Transcendental Cha Cha Cha Yaoi Club comment on how inherently ridiculous it is that the most generic and average human man would be able to attract what's probably one of the most powerful and musically-skilled cosmic entities in the multiverse and potentially The Void itself as well? I think we should explore that idea more, have some fun with it
#transcendental cha cha cha#tccc#tom cardy#tccc dj#tccc mc#in a wide existence full of so many unfathomable and gorgeous colors#why can't simple hues of brown and orange be a favorite?#update from the interplanetary ballroom:#local 4th dimensional guest hits the DJ with the stupidest pick up line in existence and then chokes on his drink a little#the DJ proceeds to have vivid daydreams of kissing him in the moonlight#also i'm absolutely a poly shipper with the void here but i'll deal with that later

#limbus company#project moon#my art#lcb heathcliff#lcb catherine#cathycliff#first thing on my new tablet!#colors are soo saturated there and have a lot more red hues#it was kind of a whiplash when i saw how dull and yellowish-green it was on my phone and monitor#anyway i have a lot of cathycliff doodles can't wait to clean them up a bit and post them#turns out it's really fun and a lot easier for me to draw on screen tablets

I think 90% of my gripes with how modern anime looks comes down to flat color design/palettes.
Non-cohesive, washed-out color palettes can destroy lineart quality. I see this all the time when comparing an anime's lineart/layout to its colored/post-processed final product and it's heartbreaking. Compare this pre-color vs. final frame from Dungeon Meshi's OP.
So much sharpness and detail and weight gets washed out and flattened by 'meh' color design. I LOVE the flow and thickness and shadows in the fabrics on the left. The white against pastel really brings it out. Check out all the detail in their hair, the highlights in Rin's, the different hues to denote hair color, the blue tint in the clothes' shadows, and how all of that just gets... lost. It works, but it's not particularly good and does a disservice to the line-artist.
I'm using Dungeon Meshi as an example not because it's bad, I'm just especially disappointed because this is Studio Trigger we're talking about. The character animation is fantastic, but the color design is usually much more exciting. We're not seeing Trigger at their full potential, so I'm focusing on them.
Here's a very quick and messy color correct. Not meant to be taken seriously, just to provide comparison to see why colors can feel "washed out." Top is edit, bottom is original.
You can really see how desaturated and "white fluorescent lighting" the original color palettes are.
[Remember: the easiest way to make your colors more lively is to choose a warm or cool tint. From there, you can play around with bringing out complementary colors for a cohesive palette (I warmed Marcille's skintone and hair but made sure to bring out her deep blue clothes). Avoid using too many blend mode layers; hand-picking colors will really help you build your innate color sense and find a color style. Try using saturated colors in unexpected places! If you're coloring a night scene, try using deep blues or greens or magentas. You see these deep colors used all the time in older anime because they couldn't rely on a lightness scale to make colors darker, they had to use darker paints with specific hues. Don't overthink it, simpler is better!]
#not art#dungeon meshi#rant#i'm someone who can get obsessive over colors in my own art#will stare at the screen adjusting hues/saturation for hours#luckily i've gotten faster at color picking#but yeah modern anime's color design is saddening to me. the general trend leans towards white/grey desaturated palettes#simply because they're easier to pick digitally#this is not the colorists fault mind you. the anime industry's problems are also labor problems. artists are severely underpaid#and overworked. colorists literally aren't paid enough to do their best#there isn't a “creative drought” in the anime industry. this trend is widespread across studios purely BECAUSE it's not up to individuals#until work conditions improve anime will unfortunately continue to miss its fullest potential visually#don't even GET ME STARTED ON THE USE OF POST-PROCESSING FILTERS AND LIGHTING IN ANIME THOUGH#SOMEONE HOLD ME BACK. I HATE LENS FLARES I HATE GRADIENT SHADING I HATE CHROMATIC ABBERATION AND BLUR

I did a little pixel headshot of Vasco! I was originally planning on doing it for artfight but I ran out of time and motivation, so here it is now. I'm a little out of practice with canine faces, and I find drawing gradients in pixels difficult, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out
.
#!!!!#tiny pixel Vasco!#I've never tried doing pixel art but I'm under the impression that it's harder than it looks#I can imagine gradients being time consuming to get right#his markings look great here! the colors are spot on#I think I'm seeing even the subtle lighter yellow under his eyes#the light sky blue background compliments the warm golden hues of his fur beautifully#thank you!#gift art#darkflamethedragondame#Vasco#own characters#big dark puppy eyes

SHERLOCK | Martin Freeman as John Watson
#inspiration for creating gifs was the wonderful @meandhisjohn#he emerged from the mist like a ghost with sadness etched on his face like the imprint of a recent storm#In his eyes a shadow of despair lingered but at the same time an unrelenting thirst for life beat in his heart#the world around him seemed empty a lifeless canvas devoid of color and sound#his brown jacket rough and worn a symbol of the storm raging within his soul gave him a harsh yet captivating appearance#and at that momen like a beacon of light in utter darkness he met him#their gazes met and the world around them burst into vibrant hues#as if a painter inspired by a divine muse had poured his palette onto the canvas#john lost in the abyss of despair suddenly found purpose meaning in his existence#he was like a ship tossed about in a tempest finding sanctuary and calm in a harbor#their encounter became a turning point illuminating his life with a gentle light comparable to the first rays of dawn#breaking through the darkness of night#love immense and unfathomable enveloped their hearts forging them into one#It was like a magical elixir awakening forgotten feelings and dreams#martin freeman#mf/serial#bbc sherlock#john watson#sherlock#sherlock bbc#benedict cumberbatch#pilot

Someone in the tags of the last post correctly guessed that Wingdings' lamp was made with these Waterfall glowing crystals soooo I took it as a chance to mention it! Hehe
Moving the lamp around a little will get it to shine brightly again when it's light is starting to fade
#I know the crystal are magenta/pink and Wingdings is holding one that looks more red but it's supposed to be the same kind of crystal#I WAS SO SURE THEY WERE MORE RED BUT NO#I'm gonna pretend there's different colors around the same hue but slightly different#forgettable-au#I didn't want to give him a regular lamp for some reason and decided this would be cute#also it implies he's gone to Waterfall before and taken some of the crystal and that's interesting! very useful to build up a little#something I'm planning!

absorbing qmengs style to pretend everything is fine.. sua!!
#i remember welpuu saying qmeng is a beast and yeah. qmengs a beast. the color theory goes insane#you move the purple hue over a bit and oh its orange. ok. i gues.#also the rendering.#1 brush#literally just the hard round#ofc i used another for her shirt#and im pretty sure the blending was a pastel#but i dont think we use the same app#theres a lot less definition than qmengs which is mostly bcs till has more definition and sharp corners compared to sua#alnst#alien stage#alnst sua#alien stage sua#plips art#art#digital art
