Hello,hello! Cool posing! In order to set appropriate shadow values in painting, we must pay attention to the connection between light and dark (tonal value) rather than just color, making sure that shadows are consistently dark enough to produce depth. Our core shadow is the portion of the object that faces away from the light source. the shadow that an object casts on another surface. It typically has a harder edge close to the item and softens as it gets farther away, making it darker than the form shadow. Draw a clear line that delineates the regions where the shadow falls on the surrounding surfaces (cast shadow) and the subject (form shadow). Identify the harsh (sharp) and soft (blending) edges. This kind of setup is often done using the cell shading approach prior to blending. Additionally, it is crucial that we treat human figures as three-dimensional rather than two-dimensional. For this reason, when we paint or add shadows, we break it down into basic geometric shapes. You will get the desired volume from that. Hope it helps! | Artwod Feedback
