Ramdragn Hi-Although my idea was to make it pastel copy like, I agree it ended confusing. I am still browsing the Guild, but is there a tutorial to determine where the shadow and light is supposed to hit? I use the basic brush tool. However, I play and modified the opacity, flow, and some brush modes specially Multiply and Color Burn Edited: I'm actually always practicing cell shading since is the most common on digital artwork. Crow Mask C3 Color Shading-Thank You Hey there. heart I like what you've done so far. I really like the Crow Mask piece - the feathers look wonderful and the colored version is shaping up nicely. Feathers can be tough to get right and you did a great job with them. You might want to think about having more than one shade of shadow. Right now you have your first skin tone and then one shade darker, but if you study how things look in reality, there are lots of different colors floating about. 3nodding
On that note, you expressed some concern about shading: shadows come from the fact that an object is blocking the flow of light. The part exposed to the light source is 'highlighted' and the part hidden is 'shadowed'. 3nodding
Errol posted this for someone else and it's amazingly helpful.
One thing to keep in mind: for shading and highlighting, it's best to actually choose your own colors and not use the color burn tool. Actual shadows are made of lots of colors depending on the ambient light and all sorts of other factors but the color dodge and burn tools only add black and white. They're easy, but they don't give you the results you really want.
The best way to figure out where light and shadow hits is to actually figure it out for yourself. Tutorials are great, but the visual experience can be very helpful too. Just grab a golf ball (or anything else) and a lamp and move things around. Then, grab a Barbie doll (or the more masculine GI Joe) and do the same.
Another thing to think about: cell shading is a great thing to learn but keep in mind that it's a simplified version of normal shading, so it's best to learn the original before deviating to the more stylized.
^___^ You have a great start. heart Keep working at it!
