Hello Hello! The process usually goes: clean linework, flat colors, determine where light comes from, cell shading and then blending. Now to explain bit more: Make a clean drawing. Good paintings start with solid and correct construction. After that fill with flat colors and determine where light comes from because it will help us with creation of shadows. In order to ensure that shadows are consistently dark enough to create depth, we must consider the relationship between light and dark (tonal value) in addition to color when setting proper shadow values in paintings. The part of the item that faces away from the light source is our core shadow. the shadow an object creates on another surface. It is usually darker than the form shadow, with a sharper edge near the object and a softer edge farther away. Draw a distinct line that indicates the areas where the shadow falls on the subject (form shadow) and the surrounding surfaces (cast shadow). Determine which edges are soft (blending) and harsh (sharp). The cell shading method is frequently used for this type of setup before blending. Furthermore, treating human figures as three-dimensional rather than two-dimensional is essential. Because of this, we break it down into simple geometric shapes when we paint or add shadows. That will give you the volume you want. Hope it helps! Happy learning! | Artwod Feedback
