Hi. I am using Ibis Paint as well. 1. One issue is values. You have the same value for everything that is why it looks so flat. 2. It heavily depends on style and what you are comfortable with but what I would suggest is using airbrush and hard round brush (pen fade) when rendering skin. Start with adding overall shadow to the object with air brush, then render each muscle by using airbrush and laso for soft shadows and hard brush for hard shadows and light accents (the softer the light and the further away the object is from another, the softer the shadow is). | Artwod Feedback
