So I did this >.<
tbh. not a lot art was created for the first half of the year, I was to aware that my drawing skill was not that good,

it was not until August when http://steve-the-lucario.deviantart.com/ Inspired me to really start drawing,I realised that my skill didn’t matter as long as I was having fun drawing, for that I am him grateful.
Not much else to say, then I hope I will draw even more in 2017.
all in all this was a great year. ^w^
Happy new year.

(If you haven't answered this before) how do you do shading?

iguanamouth Answer:

i havent !! and. i cant say this is gonna be any help but heres some of the things i try to keep in mind when im shading stuff

image

so youve got your flats on your initial drawing, the thing thats getting the business

image

then youve got find out where the light is coming from ! your light source is gonna determine where all the highlights and shadows are cast, and while it doesnt have to be EXACT, its generally a good rule to keep it pretty consistent through the drawing - sometimes youll probably have to deal with multiple sources, and each ones gonna be casting its own light and shadow ( and color by extension )

image

the intensity and sharpness of your shadows generally also reflects the brightness or closeness of the light ! basically if you wanna make something look BRIGHT, you gotta make sure the shadows are dark enough to get the idea across

image

so the actual shading part - the way i shade is by getting a brush on a very low opacity, picking the color i want for shadows and then layering the strokes over and over until i get about the darkness i want ( because im LAZY and i dont actually work with complex backgrounds a bunch, i can usually get away with drawing the shadows directly on the locked flat colors layer so theres nothing to clean up after )

image

afterwards i clean it up a little if i need to, add highlights while keeping in mind where the light is coming from, and start on the Detail Work ( it also might be helpful to keep in mind that highlights dont always go on the EDGE of things, but rather where the curve of something is - where the light would catch. this can help add a little depth and make flat things look rounded out ! )

image

and THEN its basically me zooming into the drawing at least 200%, putting another layer over the top of everything, and going over the outlines with a tiny brush so the harsh black is mostly gone ! there shouldnt be anything along the edge thats darker than the darkest part of the shadow ( with exceptions like the eyes and nostrils )

and thats mostly it ! i picked red for the shadow color, but picking your shading ( and flats ! ) based on the colors in your background can go a LONG way into making it seem like your character is actually in the environment

image

reflective light is also an important thing to keep in mind when choosing shadows and highlights - light and color doesnt always just hit an object and stay there, and even in the shade there could be light bouncing back from stuff like water or grass creating smaller, subtle highlights along the edges of things close by

not everything reflects the same way either ! something like a piece of wood is going to react differently than say, a metal ball

image

so you get your light source, basic highlights and shadows, not bad ! but then theres ALSO the light reflecting from the rest of the environment along the edge of the ball, and then finally the color from both the dragon and the ball reflecting a bit on each other

 honestly though these arent RULES of drawing and more just guidelines i work with sometimes, and maybe your style of shading and highlighting looks completely different than this and thats ok !! - im still figuring a bunch of stuff out about light and reflections myself, and the great thing about art is that you can do whatever the hell you want with it

Reasons why Team Skull are your friends:

  • Interact with the community to the point where they know everyone in a city by face.
  • Introduced themselves to you as soon as you left city hall since they noticed you’re new in town.
  • Asked for your Ash-Greninja, probably to share it with people who don’t have the demo.
  • Don’t actually take your Pokemon immediately like the Catching Contest jerk.
  • Challenge you to a Pokemon battle instead of a rap battle which they would clearly win easily.
  • Excessive posing is actually just them teaching you how to use Z-Moves.
  • They introduce you to their big sister, Plumeria, who compliments your strength.
  • She lets you test your Z-Move on her Pokemon and then tells you that you’re an amazing trainer.

Team Skull did nothing wrong.
