It's also to do with the brushes you use, I like using 'softer' brushes that blend a lot smoother. Colour theory is a tricky one, I'd argue that I don't even fully understand it yet. My main advice about it, is to stop using the standard painter's colour theory predominantly taught in art classes (**RYB**) for blending & colour mixing, and learn the colour theory relevant to _digital_ art (**CMYK**). If you try to apply colour theory rules from traditional paint to digital art, you'll find that in digital art, mixing for example yellow and blue does not make green, but instead makes a gross grey-ish colour. I suggest using **RYB** for _picking colour palettes and schemes_, and using **CMYK** when it comes to the _rendering and painting process_. >[!info|plaque] Other Links >- [Guide to creating colour schemes](https://www.clipstudio.net/how-to-draw/archives/156922) >- [CMY vs RBY colours.
