Shading

Postby Normal » Thu Nov 24, 2011 9:13 am

I'm practicing shading.
I want to know how to improve, I'd appreciate comments/tips/critique :)
Also, Is there a way that I can make a seperate shading layer, that lets me see the color underneath? I've been trying to figure it for a long time :?
THankyou so much chickensmoothians c: (This was done with a mouse by the way <.<)

You can make a layer on top of the colored layer for the shading. Just make it "multiply" instead of "normal" like the other layer :)

No problem. :) This looks pretty good, though the lines seem to have faded into the coloring a bit. How many layers do you use?

I colored in the lines, I dunno why, just experimenting I guess xD
I have a Background layer, a sketch layer, a layer for the color, a layer for the lines and thats it. So 4 layers in total X3

Ok, sounds good. That's what I usually do and then I just add more layers wherever I need. I usually end up with at least 9 layers once I'm done.
