Now, make another layer outside of the folder (if you chose that route)and above it. If you choose to keep the layers separately in a folder make sure the folder’s blending setting is in normal!! From here you can either: merge all your colors onto one layer OR keep them all in a folder. This method might be easier for some people so… HERE’S WHAT YOU DO:Ĭolor your entire character in with base colors, don’t do any shading yet. Is similar EXCEPT you’re using the ERASER TOOL!!! Yooooo. Also by keeping the shading on another layer it makes it easy for you to fix mistakes or change the color! Wow shading sure is fun. This keeps the shading from going outside the area you want. Y’know, using the paintbrush tool, picking the light source, and adding shading to wherever you think it goes (I don’t know dude).Īdd your shading on a separate layer and make sure that layer is clipped to the base color layer. The first shading method I know is the standard one. Also, are you asking me how to shade or just…techniques to add shading? If you’re asking for techniques I know of two: I am sorry, my dude, but I don’t think there is an easy way out of shading.
