Her choices with color are always really random and on impulse for some reason, that’s why it’s always a hit-or-miss with her art. If she thinks that Angel would look nice to be shaded with pink despite the background being orange, she’ll shade it pink. There’s this other problem with Viv’s shading as in she uses the color which she thinks would look good on that character, to shade. Not only that, but her odd use of color and how she layers them? instead of them being in that background. The character would feel as if they were just copy-pasted onto that background. If the light source comes from the left, the light will hit the character’s face even if they are facing the other way. I’ve already covered it in these previous posts. The highlights on a character always hit where it makes them look aesthetically pleasing. Viv’s shading is weird in the area that it doesn’t follow any nearby light sources. One thing people have pointed out is her weird shading?

Shading is there to show depth in your drawings, to help the character/object make it seem as if it belongs in the setting (e.g character in a background). I’ve seen some fans use her method of shading correctly and it actually enhances their art. Does every artist have their own way of shading and using color?Įvery artist does have their own way of shading, this means that Viv’s method isn’t wrong, but the way she carries the method out is just flawed in some areas that could be easily improved.
