I drew the friends on a pier looking at the sun(all the white space will soon be water). I just need help with knowing how to draw the reflections and where and what it would look like.

Since the people are in between the water and the viewer, we don't see any reflection of the people or pier at all. For the reflection of the sun, I would recommend looking up a few pictures of sunsets over water to see what that looks like.

Ok, would the pier reflect at all as well, and is their enough space for the sun to reflect

brave kestrel
#

Usually just kind of a line except it's a scribbly line

#

Sometimes you don't even really see any reflection

and thanks for telling me abt the shadows for the ppl

👍

#

Sunsets are generally challenging because the colors mix in a weird way

#

Blue and orange are complimentary colors so there's like a weird green grey that happens

Looks good remember to put shadows behind the people. Use a darker version of that brown instead of black

#

Also with colored pencils and crayons if u wanna not have the lines u can slowly layer it pressing really lightly and you get a more even color

#

How would the shadows look?

#

Like what shape

#

@brave kestrel

#

Honestly when I do shadows they're always just kinda blobs that are like sorta a stretched out version of the thing casting the shadow

#

I'm very not careful about it

fallen jay
#

Oh ok

#

Is this fine?
