Added 2021-08-11 12:51:04 +0000 UTCHonestly, I’m not a 100% satisfied with the shadings here, but I guess that for this one it is as good as it's gonna get. I’m not entirely sure what’s off. But every time I tried to fix it, I just make it worst.
I still need more practice and probably a class or two ^^
It is still a good piece none the less.
I hope you guys dig it!

Yeah, I think that's a fairly standard approach too (multiply and overlay), I seem to remember that being the method in the books by Brian and Kirsty Miller, Hi-Fi Color for Comics and Master Digital Color. Many years since I read those though so don't quote me on that. The pictures posted since are great though, I know there's a bit of a mix in new and old styles in there now.

2021-08-22 12:46:53 +0000 UTCI use Photoshop for the colors The backgrounds and characters are on different layers The lines are on their own layers I have a layer of flat colors. I add the texture un an additional layer add the layers of shadows using Multiply add the layers of lights using Overlays I often also add a few layers of effect over the whole thing to tie everything together

2021-08-21 18:39:06 +0000 UTCWhat technique are you painting with, are you flatting to a mid tone and then shading and highlighting with colour dodge/burn? That's what it looks like. That sort of method tends to ignore the tonal shifts/painting rules of contrasting warm highlights with cool shadows or vice versa. When I started out like that I found an approach that suited me better which was to flat to the cool shadow colours and paint with luminescence instead, since that's how everything we see sort of works - you're just painting in the light basically. A fairly soft pass for ambient light with a warm light colour then another pass for what would be your normal highlight layer. Assuming your program has/handles luminescence well. Painttool SAI always did this the best out of the box I thought but others worked with perhaps some slight changes in application. I hope that helps. You're a much better artist than I was overall but I never really had time to practice enough so haven't painted for ages and am just working/studying 3D now for animation.
