Guess it'll be good to share my commission info on Tumblr. :)

So hey, my comms have been open for a while now, and I've only really advertised them on Twitter. So about time to probably advertise them on other places, too.

Have I posted my character on Tumblr before??

Aww tysm!!

IMO, figuring out the lighting of a drawing first then shadows second is more useful then vice-versa cause with knowing where the light is, you'll get an idea of where the shadow goes.

Here's a WIP of a drawing I was doing earlier this week. After sketching, I like to plan out the lightning first just so when it's time for it, I don't have to stress about it (Also cause, out of everything, I like lighting more than anything in my drawings lol). Sometimes I'll add shading too but, I usually save that for after I color and clean the drawing n such.

Color-wise, a majority of artists will recommend using complementary colors from the RGB wheel (Red/cyan, magenta/green, blue/orange, purple/yellow, etc.) for lighting and shading since it looks more pleasing to the eye. Most of the time, I like to use light yellow/orange for the lighting and a dark blue/purple for shadows. I set my lighting layer to "Add (Glow)" and shadow layer to "Multiply" then lower both opacities to my liking (I use CSP for my works)

Here's a ball I drew for example :) Aswell as how my layers are usually organized

To add more depth, I add a light gradient using a more saturated version of the color I used for the lighting, set it to either "Add (Glow)" or "Vivid light," place the layer under the shadow layer and lower the opacity. I like to use the airbrush and place it around the main light source.

I'll also use a transparent color and brush it around the edges of the shadow layer using an airbrush depending on how intense the lighting is.

So, it should look like this!
