Weird isn't it? I never learned why that is though. I do remember that shadows should never be pure black/grey. I've tried using just black/grey in shadows and it does look strange. It's too dark! I usually mix in some blue, but I had forgotten about the complimentary color bit. Thanks for the reminder!</p> Yes, I remember learning about that with colored pencils now that you say it.
