I usually use complementary colors for the darks and shadows but never thought of using complementary colors for reflected lights. I will give it a try... Thanks! This is a great tip!

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 06:09:03 +0000 http://danidraws.com/?p=506#comment-41329 Another great tip. So simple, but an excellent tweak to all types of illustrations. The reflected light can be totally imaginary, from some oddball source, and look convincing. It is good to note that this reflected light can be a complimentary color or some strange tertiary contrast-- a good reason to have a color wheel handy. Another great tip.

I'm glad to know that I've been able to help out a fellow artist like yourself, which is why I set up this site in the first place. Best of luck to you... Thank you for the lovely compliments, Phil.

You taught me how to ink in illustrator, paint in water colors, paint in pastels, make brushes etc.... Because of you my job as an illustrator is so much easier. I work for a party company in NJ, and in my spare time I'm working on a children's book. All I have to do is fully illustrate 4 pages and send out the dummy. For a time I was going to illustrate my children's book like you would a comic strip, but there is so much work done in pen and ink using flat color, that it's just not impressive to me anymore. Your pastel paintings are so much more visually appealing, and well suited for a children's book. Many times I've thought of writing you and asking you how you get your brushes to look like actual pastels, but I refrained because I knew the answers are all on your site and I believe I figured it out... (to a degree) I used actual pastel marks, scanned them in and created brushes out of them. Seems to have worked fairly well for me. Thanks again. -Phil Dani, Your site is my go to site for pretty much everything. You taught me how to ink in illustrator, paint in water colors, paint in pastels, make brushes etc….
