Thank you~~ ; v ; You’re also one of my favorite artists on colors so I’m super honored and happy~ I’ll try my best in the future too, so that you won’t be disappointed o/
Oh, it IS really the date for Big Shell :O I had somehow completely forgotten v__v I’m actually just playing that chapter, talk about good timing. (Okay, I’m a few years late but still…)

Thank you so much ;v; Messages like this make me very happy and give me so much motivation to draw~

Oh, and thanks for following and all the likes ‘v’ I’m extra happy when someone likes my original stuff too.

Thank you ;v;

Sorry, I’m therrible at explaining. My basic blending method is quite simple. I use the default brush with very low opacity to add many layers of color until I reach the shade I want. I usually paint the main shadow areas first with large brush size and then soften their edges with a smaller brush. After that I add some details with the smallest brush size, opacity still low. There’s no real rule to how many shading colors I use for one area but often it’s something like: base color +2 colors, lighter and darker, for shadows +1-2 for highlights depending on how many light sources I put in the pic.

So basically I just mess around with low opacity until I’m satisfied. :D It’s kind of hard to explain without pictures, maybe I’ll post a short guide/tutorial thing to my Colors! gallery. Should serve its purpose better than this poor explanation.

First one to go.
