Hey! Great job with these characters! I really like the variety you've achieved so far. I'll use one of them as an example to help you a bit with the lighting. First of all, you need to establish the direction of the light. For this type of character, you don't necessarily need dramatic or cinematic lighting; a simple 3/4 lighting setup is more than enough. Once you've established the light source, think about which planes won't be facing the light directly and block in the shadow shapes accordingly. You can use a Multiply layer to paint your shadows. Since the local colors are already fairly dark, you can use an Overlay layer to paint the light. Once you have both the lights and shadows established, it's simply a matter of deciding whether you'd like to paint some stronger highlights or soften the transition between light and shadow a bit, that part is entirely up to you. One more recommendation that may help is to make sure your drawing is solid and clean before you start painting. Clearly define the forms of each part of the character. This will save you a lot of time during the painting process, since you'll only need to focus on giving the forms volume through light and shadow. Thanks for sharing your work! | Artwod Feedback
