Hi everyone I can't seem to accurately convey volume in my drawings. It feels like I’m just placing highlights and shadows out of habit—putting them where I *think* they should go, rather than really seeing the form. As for realizaition, it’s as if... there isn't enough variation or contrast in value between the shadowed and illuminated areas? That’s just a guess tho; I just can't shake the feeling that my drawings look flat. There are too many tutorials out there, and I easily get lost in them. The idea was to create soft lighting—which can admittedly be trickier—but that’s no excuse; objects should still look three-dimensional even with soft lighting XD. In any case, this is a problem that plagues all my drawings. Also, I still don't get what's wrong with the way I draw faces lol, they just feel wrong.
