So you’re not meant to take that literally you’re supposed to not use it as a base color because it makes the parts that are the darkest on the black and that are the lightest on the white more prominent but around that you will put lighter colors that are not true white or black and then put the true white and black on top of those desaturated colors if that makes any sense

Its true tho if you are achieving something painterly, don’t just rely black and white to do your values, it makes it muddy.

This applies mostly on physical drawings! Typically if you use pure black then all the attention will drive to that color, rather than making ur own black, which blends better with the other colors! I think digitally it can happen but not with the same strength

The white actually isn't completely pure white, but I do get the point, I'm just here to be annoying and pedantic

Carpacchio :
this rule is more meant to traditional artists as black and white kills all the vibrancy of a colour so when you mix colors don't do it with these as you will have to fix the dullness for a while after

this tip gets misused so much. when artists tell you to not use pure black or white they dont mean to literally never touch those colours, they mean to use them sparingly as you cant go lighter than white and darker than black.

I think u misunderstand what ppl mean by that 😭 never use it to color things that are white or black but instead use them when doing highlights and extremely dark shadows.

You just need to make sure to be sparing with them. If you’re drawing a white object, you’d actually want to use a bright gray with a certain tint depending on the warmth of the scene. You’d only use white for highlights

My mom who’s an artist literally says: don’t be scared to use pure black or white, it adds depth and highlight! (I tried it and omg it worked so well and now I’m not scared to use bright and dark colours)
