@funslub1996 @patrycja.lerch @mitsuki-youko thank you all for your kinds words. Shading is complicated but fun. Imma put more time into understanding the fundamentals of light and shadows. In fact, I got the book titled as such from Scott Robertson. I will have a look at it this weekend and report back at beginning of next week

Hello peeps! Sorry for the tardy post. It has been pretty busy and I got a pink eye (I still have it ) I will make this quick since staring at the screen hurts my eyes. I will go back to this post and add the references I used, but here are my first attempts at painting and smudging (ever). With each painting, I explored different techniques, hence their dissimilarities. It is not the bet of my works but I feel proud that I tried something different.

As you may have noticed, I did not attempt 2 value studies after I realized my ignorance in the subject of shading. Therefore, my new commitment, which may take some time, is the following…

Read and put to practice Scott Robertson’s “How to shade” book

Once I have completed this commitment, I will formally move on to term 3.

Yo, nice work all around, keep at it! I personally find hair to be really challenging to render right, not to mention the different types of silhouettes that it can give off and the thinness/thickness of strands and their interactions with the face/ears/shoulders/wind XD

For 2 value studies I feel Synix design on youtube has a really good video on the topic

highly recommended!

cheers!
