55555 Posted June 3, 2012 Sweet, I was unaware of the concept of making shadows the compliment of your light source. That will come in handy. - 55555 Quote Link to comment

Dragonfly the Luminescent Posted June 3, 2012 Similar process I use, but as you said yourself, different artists do different things. It's a very nice tutorial, and I like the placement of the lighting source you chose to demonstrate. I don't use so many faint layers, but I should learn to, because I can see how it would certainly help with correcting color before it's too late. Sometimes when I'm not sure about what color I should use, I experiment on a different piece of paper (really, you should see all the scrap papers I have everywhere with random colors on them). As an overall style, I like your comics better than most comics out there (I'm talking professional ones, too). They're easy to see and understand what's going on, unlike the cluttered black/white style of many other comics.They're soft and fun to look at. Quote Link to comment
Aanchir Posted June 3, 2012 Great tutorial. I perhaps could have used this when I made my art contest entry. The best part of it is that these tips are all easy to remember, so it's not the sort of thing I have to read once and consult again every time I color until I have it memorized. It's fairly intuitive to understand, but having it pointed out to you in tutorial form makes a world of difference for memorization. Quote Link to comment

Thank you! =DWell I thought using the usual 'light-is-coming-from-somewhere-above' would be a bit boring, and not really helpful if I talked about light sources and did not use a specific one myself. Mhm, I would really recommend it. It also allows blending a huuuge amount of colours, which can result in a wonderfully colourful drawing. But you should keep up the method of pre-testing colours on a scrap paper; it's quite a clever method (and one I should use more often, thanks for bringing it up again!) Wow, thanks a lot! Just... thank you. :3 Great tutorial. I perhaps could have used this when I made my art contest entry.
