A Heads Up: I Explained More Than I Needed To!

you are my favorite artist!! i really admire your coloring style, and how soft the lighting makes it feel despite being on-model. you have any tips? on the topic of lighting, i also ADORE your shading!! :3

You have no idea how happy this made me (ﾉω･､)

You are such a sweet heart

(≧◡≦) ♡

I tried my best explaining and understanding the question!

(My english isn’t the best)

A heads up: i explained more than i needed to!

First i wanted to show how i color

There are 4 simple steps

Base

Shadows

Light

Details

Before i color i decide where the light is coming from, so I’d know what im doing with light and shadows

-

Now with the actual shading and lighting

It’s actually just 2 easy steps, for me atleast

I’d say my shading&lighting is kinda lazy..

I know it hard to see it, so how about we actually use it on a model or two

Examples:

I used blue and yellow as an example to show what it looks like with warm and cool colors :p

You can see how it changes when you add shading and lighting (tho you cant see the light that much…)

For blue i gave him for shading analogues colors that means the colors are neighbors on the color wheel, the same with yellow.

Its good to know a bit of color theory! It can help! (Im also learning)

-

Next lighting&shading refrences

How they look when the light source moves

(Ignore the laziness…)

Its good to have a real reference to help you

You can see how it can changes green depending where the light source is coming from, it can change a mood.

And thats it!

This is how i shade and do lighting! (Plus color)

Thank you for reading me ramble about colors ( ˙▿˙ )
