Is there any specific style of rendering you want to follow?

#

nothing specific, just something thats not realism, maybe matching the lips??

Hmm well cell shading is def a good place to start

#

Mark out the parts that you think have shadow on it and just fill that in with a hard brush (not airbrush)

#

the light is on top and facing down, but i never studied shadows..

#

For example, since this finger is slightly behind, it will probably have shadows cast over it, so you can try shading the whole thing a different color

#

For now just look for things that are very obviously getting covered by other things!

ah ok!

#

For example, our ears kind of curve in, right?

#

#

The red bit is the part that sticks out and the blue part is the bit that curves in

#

Since red part sticks out, it'll cast a shadow on the blue part

#

So you could color shadows into blue part, etc etc

#

You can check back in after trying things out as well and I or someone else could give you some feedback!

#

Sweet!

#

BTW, I noticed that you used black to shade the neck

#

You could also consider using black to shade the skin in general

i could do that, but i'm not looking for something that dramatic, just something easy on the eyes

tranquil gyro May 26, 2024, 4:34 AM

#

Ooh, I see

#

Maybe try tackling the hair and the jacket and see how it goes?

im not sure if im a fan of it..

tranquil gyro May 26, 2024, 5:22 AM

#

Doesn't look too bad! Do you know what exactly is bothering you about it right now?

#

looking up specific styles that you like and/or want to emulate could help

idk where to put the highlights and shadows, and his hair isn't as messy as i usually draw hair so its harder to making it look 'good'

#

i've been drawing for 7 hours what 😭

#

green surge idk where to put the highlights and shadows, and his hair isn't as messy as i us...

Maybe try putting some shadows at the area his hair parts? Hair usually dips in at the place it stems from (unless ofc the hairstyle involved the hair standing up!

#

Defining some notable strands might also help!
