How do you add shades in paint?

To add shades in paint, you can adjust the brightness of a color.

Here's how you can add shades using the method described in the reference video for a digital painting program like Paint.net:

1. Select the Layer: Ensure that you have the layer selected that you want to add a shade to.
2. Adjust Brightness:
   • Go to the brightness adjustment tool and reduce the brightness of the color you are working with.
   • In the reference video, the brightness is dragged all the way down to -100 for the darkest shade.
3. Move/Adjust the Shade:
   • Use the move selected pixels tool to the left.
   • You can then drag the shade to adjust it to your liking.

Here is a summary of the steps in a table format:

Step	Action
1. Select Layer	Select the layer to add a shade to.
2. Adjust Brightness	Reduce the brightness of the selected color, for example, to -100.
3. Move/Adjust the Shade	Use the move selected pixels tool to drag the shaded area and adjust it.

By using the brightness tool and the pixel selection tool, you can create the effect of shadows and shading. You can use this technique to create a more three-dimensional effect in your digital artwork.
