this is not a bad advice but very badly worded. instead it should say:
- using neutral color canvas will help you see your shadows and lights better
- black lines overpower and dull other colors
- smooth two color gradients look tacky and unnatural, create custom and less regular ones
- set dodge and burn to no more than 2% if using it
- use multiply with appropriate shades, not just gray
- using white before other light colors will cut your options (there is nothing brighter than white, so leave it until you have no other choice!)
hope this helps ✨
I remember when I was first starting out in the vocaloid community I found a song I liked and I wanted to take note of who made it
so I was like "Oh I'll remember their username because it ends with a 'P', that's quite unique"
Tbh I don't see the problem with the doubletagging.. it basically means the same thing as the alternative (which could also still have t/b implications). I personally don't care about the discourse and you're free to block
It really sucks how many people are leaving the alien stage fandom not because they are naturally moving onto other things, but because there are so many genuinely terrible people here
