Hi! Happy Tuesday! Today’s tip is on one of my favorite subject, color theory; specifically on chromatic fringe.
It is the red fringe or hot saturated color you see at the edge of cast shadow and where it meets the light area. The rougher the object edge casting the shadow or the further away the object is, the more red fringe you’ll see. This is different than chromatic abberation, which is color fringing caused by lens failure. You can see chromatic fringe with your eyes. The more you paint from life and make observation, the easier it is to see. It’s one of those things that once you see it, you cannot unsee. 🙂 XO,
Griz

ps. On stylized painting, where you want to have a hard edge on a shadow, you don’t always have to put it. Like everything in art, you can choose to put something in or not. But it’s always good to know your basic and know the rules before breaking it. Happy painting!
I’m really glad that KC Green’s work is being more widely recognized after the whole “This is not fine” comic came out.
He’s been in the comic making game for a really long time and he has…a bit of a knack for creating things that are used as reaction images and never credited back to him.
He’s a really cool guy and a great artist and I HIGHLY recommend following his work.
i feel like its important to add that hes also responsible for dickbutt. thats an important part of his resume
Some lesser known KC Green Career Highlights:
honestly I swear he’s like. the best at unintentionally making reaction images
He also did the “I guess!” comic, didn’t he?
We’ve all been fans of KC Green this whole time and never even knew
there’s also THIS classic, which is usually reduced to this:
for a reaction image
a majority of these comics come from KC’s Gunshow! It’s over now but it ran for a loooong time and has an amazing archive of his comics. I HIGHLY recommend reading through it all, it’s a goldmine
the grass in the original shrek movie is not grass. its hair. they used hair textures for the grass bc the actual grass for some reason in their computer modelling programs would not behave like grass so they used hair textures colored green.
elvis presley was a registered DEA officer who asked nixon for the title and was awarded it.
What else?
the great escape artist houdini was living in a time period where mysticism, fortune telling, ouija boards, seances and etc were becoming very common place and trendy. and he fucking hated it so much. so much that he would go to seances in disguise and make some bullshit off the wall shit like “my son died last year can you let me talk to him” and the seance person would be like ‘THIS IS YOUR SON HELLO FATHER’ then he’d rip off his disguise and be like YOU FRAUD I HAVE NO CHILDREN.
He died on Halloween night in detroit and as far as i know every year they hold seances on halloween trying to get in contact with his spirit. If seances work i bet his ghost is just pissed off and not responding out of raw spite.
foxes cant snarl like dogs and wolves cus the muscles in their muzzle dont allowe it so they just drop their jaws and scream.
