Thanks, that was really helpful (Also really fast. I did not expect an answer back that quickly!) and you definitely answered what I wanted to know. I use Krita, or else I’d take you up on your offer for the brushes.

HI, I've recently watched several of your speedpaints and, I must say, you are a fantastic artist. What I would really love to know, though, is how do you do your shading? Specifically, from what I could see, you used a new layer set to multiply, but I couldn't tell if it was a transparent layer or a solid color. And, if transparent, how do you keep it so smooth when you blend out the shadows? Sorry if you've answered this somewhere already and I didn't see it. Have a nice day!

Hey thanks for the ask and the complement, that’s super nice of you to say !

No one has ever asked me this before, I’ll do my best to try and explain how I bullshit my way through shading.

Anish Kapoor has long been known for his large-scale, intensely colored artworks, but his penchant for being proprietary has long irked others in the art world.

But then came Vantablack.

Earlier this year, Kapoor sparked outrage from artists all over the world with the announcement that he had made a deal to become the only person in the world allowed to use the blackest pigment of black paint ever developed. Known as Vantablack, the unique carbon nanotube-based pigment is produced solely by a British company called NanoSystem, and was originally developed for military technologies. However, Kapoor made an agreement with the company that he is the only person allowed to use it for artistic purposes.

Needless to say, that made plenty of other artists furious.

“When I first heard that Anish had the exclusive rights to the blackest black I was really disappointed,” artist Stuart Semple tells Kevin Holmes for The Creators Project. “I was desperate to have a play with it in my own work and I knew lots of other artists who wanted to use it too. It just seemed really mean-spirited and against the spirit of generosity that most artists who make and share their work are driven by.”

Like Kapoor, Semple’s work often uses vivid shades of color, and for years he had worked with scientists to develop increasingly intense pigments to use in his artwork. So as a response to Kapoor’s exclusive deal with Vantablack, Semple decided to release his own special pigment, known simply as “Pink,” the Irish Examiner reports.

While “Pink” isn’t based on nanotechnology, like Vantablack, Semple says it is the pinkest pink pigment ever created. Now, in an effort to thumb his nose at Kapoor, Semple is making it for sale to everyone in the world—except Kapoor, Tom Power reports for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Q.

If you’re upset about Edward’s coat in the new FMA live action flick, think about this:

It’s leather because Edward has an awful sense of style. Canonically. Izumi and multiple bad guys have called him out on it in canon. So the leather jacket WITH ZIPPERS ON THE SLEEVES A LA PERSONA 3 is just reflecting how horrible his fashion sense is.

I mean, he does make himself a new coat like a billion times. So this is more of a glass is half full scenario fma fam.
