Only in this way can the work be layered rather than a simple plane. : I don’t know if you guys have any advice on this aspect. : There is no need to reply to each article. As long as we see your masterpiece and your thoughts, we are all very happy. : I also know that it is difficult for you to post articles. Can it be faster if you edit it first and then use dntx software? : thx Regarding the changes in light and shade of light and shadow, I think it is not necessary to do it. Because there are not many colors available Some pictures are not suitable for adding light and shadow. If you impose it, it will become uncoordinated. When drawing, I pay more attention to visual comfort. Therefore, we usually try to avoid using highlights and replace them with light colors. And if you want to use highlights, you can usually only use the foreground square. If there are less changes, it will appear more rigid. So after the technical problems were overcome later, The most important thing is color selection and matching For characters, the skin color can be either white or yellow But if your hair is also yellow, it will conflict with your skin color. The solution at this time is to use high-gloss yellow hair Or use white with a light feel on the face As for the shadow, if your skin tone is white, you can use yellow as the shadow. If the skin color is yellow, you can use red as a shadow or indigo. However, you need to be more careful when using indigo as a shadow. Because yellow and indigo are not very coordinated visually. And it’s easy to have the feeling that the colors are mixed together. These are all the pictures I made in the later stages. You will find out slowly
