pjb21 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 advice on shading: if posable imagin the whole scene in 3d, next work out what the light source is and where it is comming from, then you should be able to see what is in shade and what is in light, oh and to keep it simple only do two or three colour shading, none of this anoying pillow stuff, that is more complex and often gives it all a very plastic feel. also, look at how light affects everyday objects, how the curves are effected, shadows etc, this will help you to see the shading in your mental 3d mode.

Fortress2000 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Here's a pic of my old sig. You might also want to add some depth to the tree, by adding pot holes and such. To do shadows, just copy the object that you are making the shadow for, but only make it at a slight angle on the ground. Writing in colour was fun while it lasted...The Tip.It. Furry! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjb21 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 my advise to beginners is keep it simple, use black outlines and two or three tone shading, dont take on anything complecated and advoid elemnts (water fire wind etc) since they are hard to draw, a simple landscape oe fight or something will be good.
