i dont wanna show my coloring, because when i do color, it ends up looking like this. poor shading and borderline flat.

all i wanna know is: how do i STOP and NOT end up coloring like this forever?

preferably, something in video format to teach me? i find they usually go in depth more when it comes to instructions and it's easier to keep up with that than written instructions or pictures.

honestly, i feel the worst part of it is the very poor airbrushing and blending as well as how it somehow manages to look flat while still being shaded.

how do you fix that?

Give your light actual direction
Add rim lights (maybe)
Add core shadows

Start by not following shit like this. People who make this crap are not artists, they are political activists.

the lighting lacks a proper source most of the shadows imply its coming from the left but others imply its also coming from the right. the air brushing is also done a bit senselessly it removes a bit of the weight from the shadows and makes it feel flat
>>
The biggest tip here is to not shade with black

>the air brushing is also done a bit senselessly

what exactly does that mean though?
>>
>>7147686
Not him but he meant there's no thought into planes or where the shadows actually go. Look at the girls' eyes. Left has no shading except the hair strand. Meanwhile, not only does the right have shading under the eyebrows to indicate sockets, the right socket is mostly airbushed while the left is mostly cel shaded until it reaches the inner corner. The socket shadows also make it look like there's a big crooked nasal bone between them.

I mean its used without much thought but looking at it again I was kinda wrong there was thought behind it. Its just that it works against the shading a bit say like the shading around he eyes of the black girl implies it wants to give this feeling of a nose bridge between her eyes but it doesn't show as well because the airbrush smooths it out

so basically, certain areas should be harder shaded while others are airbrushed smooth, and the picture is doing both willy-nilly, which makes it lose the impact of shading in general?
>>
>>7147722
Yes. Cel shading in general is easier to work with. Too much airbrushing gives a pillow shading effect since soft shading is for, well, soft objects and planes farther away from the object casting it.

I think it's more of a value and lighting issue, rather than the colors being bad.
Added a light source on the left and also made the background brighter and the characters darker.

>Interracial lesbians
naw, interracial lesbians are not woke at this point. to be an 'activist' it would have to be a trans furry they-them otherkin or something.
straight guys love hot lesbians, which is why it's not woke anymore.
>>
>>7148178
Then you woke up

>>7148235
>Then you woke up
woke up from what? thinking lesbians are hot? i never woke up form that (maybe woke up from many a hot lesbian dream).
men have long been turned on by lesbians. hell, boomer porn from the 70s has lesbians. it's conservative at this point.
