Lesson 5

Color Mixing and Painting

really nice method of digital painting.
mixing paint just as you would when you do a traditional painting.
it gives it a more authentic and realistic look.

I still tend to go to far with the clean up (mixing and smoothening).. a couple of times I went a step back, because the roughness looked better :)

Lesson 4


Coloring with 
Cell Shading

Testing cell shading ... I really like the edginess of it :)

cell-shading really enhances the cartooniness :) love it ! 
you can also play with the edge, to make it sharp or smoother.

added screen blend mode for extra lighting ;) makes it pop :)
