How do you guys choose your colors?
And how do you choose what colors to shade and highlight with?

ive read a lot of comics and looked at a lot of art i like and i guess i figured out what colors appeal to me

shading and highlights are just color theory

you gotta know the temperature of your light
shadows are the opposite temperature, darker and more saturated
highlights are the same temperature, lighter and less saturated

theres no fixed way of doing this or that

objectively no point on getting autistic about "muh colour"
you should focus on values, if for example, you masked your drawing to be only greyscale, and you used random colors as ligh/shadow, when you would go and take the mask off the drawing would still look ok, and appealing.

Holy /beg/, don't listen to this. Colors are extremely important for visual art. Don't use random colors for fuck sake.

>>4453758
Study colors used by the old masters and real professionals who have already made it. Take a Bouguereau painting or something, stick it into whatever software you use, and study the colors chosen. Eventually you should develop a good sense of what colors your highlight or shadows should be. Just study work by those who've already figured all this shit out. Maybe read a book on color theory as well.

Where in my post did you get that impression? When did I say to use the same color? Are you retarded?

Buy some real paint and play with limited palettes. Thats the best way to develop some intuition imo.

>shadows are the opposite temperature, darker and more saturated
This rule comes from landscape paintings (warm light from the sun, cool ambient light from the sky) and you shouldn't apply it to everything. You should consider your main light and your ambient light two separate sources with independent temperatures.

I already practice tradtional painting a lot and I feel mixing colors off tubes is easier than finding the color one wants in RGB

I only own a specific set of paint colors, there's some I can't make, so I just try to fake it.
