Title: art tips
Post by: Himu on March 12, 2007, 05:57:30 PM
So I'm working on this piece for my new  avatar, and I got stuck for a few moments trying to get the perfect lighting on Raz's face.

With the right nudge from someone  I was able to pull off the lighting in a decent manner but I'd like to improve. As this forum has quite a few artists, I was wondering if anyone had any particular tips on shadows and lighting.

Do you know how to do gradients?  Are you using MS paint?

With traditional media? Yes, but this is done in Photoshop.

I already know how to do that if my first post was not obvious enough from what the image I posted.

Duh. I zoomed in and capped it.

I like it when it's bigger. Pity about the resolution, because I think you catch a lot of cool details when it's larger.
