Medusa IM BACK! Continue c+c pleAse

(02-03-2010, 07:06 PM)Francisco Cifuentes Wrote: a good way to start would be to keep shading to two basic colors(flat/base color+dark shade) and then add two more colors(highlight and transition between base color and dark color).

this is by no means a rule, keep that in mind, its just a simple method of progresively shading your object in order to depict every shape.

another thing i noticed when i "tried" to shade it is that there are no shapes to be shaded besides the hair. there is nothing to be shaded and there is hardly any surface that could be hit by light. the lineart is still quite jaggy, inconsistent and hardly shows any anatomy(yes, even that thing has an anatomy to follow). even though it could be based off a sprite that originally didn't need shading, when you render it into a world where a light source is present you need to give it also a "platform" to let this lightsource thing work. or else it will look like a not so fancy whoreish make up.

PS: before i forget: picking colors from an existing sprite is fine at the beggining, as a filler, but is by no means a lifesaver. soon or later you'll realize you'll be way more efficient when you learn how to pick your own colors, that work exactly like you want them to be.
