      Can you please tell me how your layer labeling works please I usually label mine as Base->Shade Reference->Shade (Clipping layer)->Outline and the names are usually to big for my app's layer system.

    Question, and yes I’m a year late…but how do you know what color to add shadows with? With different skin colors?..

      @kmdraws64 2 года назад +166

      My best tip is to avoid just simply darkening the color! Skin has a lot of colors, shift around hue for shadows and lights! (For shadows I tend to lead darker and more towards red)

      It depends upon what kind of mood you are going for. If you already drew a character with a lot if warm tones , u will need to do shadows in more of a blue or purple hue, to balance the whole illustration. It's the vice versa if you created a character with cold tones.

    • @Mani00poyata
      @Mani00poyata 2 года назад +14

      You can also balance the tones, by playing around till you feel it's good enough.

    would subsurface scattering depend on blood color?
    say you had a character with blue blood, organs, etc. would their subsurface scattering be blue?

    • @flareon1368
      @flareon1368 2 года назад +29

      I'd assume it would depend on both the blood/organs of the character in addition to skin tone as well. A blue skin character could look more Harmonious with blue SSS (especially if they have blue blood) but at the same time, I've seen illustrations of characters with blue or gray skin tones who had red/pink SSS that looked both life like and dead at the same time so it may depend on the mood of the piece. That said, blue blood will definitely affect SSS. What I do know for sure is that Tarantulas actually (and other insects/arachnids, but I've got tarantulas and they are large enough to actually see things like this occurring so I'm most familiar in terms of tarantulas) have naturally occurring blue blood. After they molt their exoskeleton, they become near translucent and look a pale blueish/greenish with a very cool ghostly type of effect. If you're not too afraid of spiders to look this up, studying how light casts through freshly molted tarantulas gives a very interesting perspective on how this occurs in nature and how it might affect SSS in a humanoid creature with blue blood

    • @VeryCrazyDude
      @VeryCrazyDude Год назад +1

      I'm a year late but i believe it's not caused by blood at all! Among all the colors, red has the longest light waves, and is the only one long enough to be seen through skin

    Can you please break this topic down even further by making separate tutorials for:
    *1)* *Specular Highlights*
    (How would you color *glossy surfaces?* What color should the specular highlights be in different lighting scenarios? How should we *color-pick* the color for specular highlights? Specular Highlights need to be bright, but I doubt they should be white. So, how should we determine the best color for them?)
    *2)* How should we paint *Bounce Light?*
    *3)* How should we paint *Subsurface Scattering?*
    I feel that these topics deserve their own videos.

    I am horrible at adding shadows and general dimension to anything. I’m working on it though. I grew up focusing entirely on anatomy and making sure you could tell what a person is feeling in my drawings. So I’m realllyyy good at drawing characters but I suck at backgrounds, shading, and I’m only now getting good at color.

    I know this is a year old- but you can add a clipping layer on top of your Medibang folder! You just need to set the folders blend mode from “pass through” to “normal”!
