shading

[naive wave]

Heyyy so I did this drawing and I’m having trouble shading the clothes, could someone help me ?

Like, what colour should I use so it doesn’t look muddy

So let's say that there is a yellow light, so then the shadows for everything will be redish brown, then you can mix those redish brown with the color of shirt or whatever, and you will get the color you should use.

Then you can add subsurface scattering or like rebounce light etc etc

So like this kinda

I find it easier to just lesser the opacity of the brush then mix every color but for people who use different layers for everything that must be harder
