Description
Ok , here is something to illustrate my shadow tutorial.[link]
In this case , I am using a great line art from
when I do shadows , I like to paint the black over a white flat.
it gave the image a statue look , and its very easy to see if the shadows are on the right place .
you can see the volume and the projected ones clearly this way
try this .
find a line art that you like , make a psd file of 3 layers.
Line , shadows , and BG
choose a light source , put the opacity of the shadow layer to %35, and use a pure black brush at 100%
have fun , and send me a link to your work .

Hi, remember my entry for your Raven art jam [link] ?
U gave me advice on coloring at that pic.
So here's my work [link]
Im posting this because i used your tutorial.
Also i want to show you how much i improved from that time

yes , its indeed an improvement.
well done .
I am not a big fun of real photos on bgs , because they steal the attention of the character .
and you can try some more soft volume shadows too .

Well the background is from an mmorpg Silkroad online (the character is also from that game)
Im not really good at doing bg's myself so i put the scenery from the game/show that the characeters come from or leave it blank

Ainda bem que,no seu caso,o "prΓ‘ sempre" durou pouco tempo!
Agora devo confessar que fiquei curioso:que tipo de acusaçáes foram lanΓ§adas sobre vocΓͺ?
Agora,respondendo a sua colocação,quero dizer-lhe que estou entre seus fΓ£s,pois vocΓͺ faz algumas das mais bonitas e sensuais gravuras aqui na DA.

The grey tones look good. Getting the exact shadows is a lot of the battle. At this point its like semi cell shaded style, which due to having a low ability to work this stuff out visually I tend to just wing it. Still even from this point after applying the shadows there is a hell of a lot to do

I've always left them till last
I gotta try this way

I really like your shading. I think I am one of the few people that is not a fan of his art though. I find the way he drawn the female form a bit uncomfortable to look at. Just not my cup of tea.

no problem .
that was just an example over a good "lineart"
there are thousands of linearts here on DA .
try to find one that you like .

I think I might give this a try with one of your drawings or possibly [yet another] of Assesina's- right now I have a complete lack of my own line art.
