I'm trying this out, but I'm curious what was your paint brush settings or what paint brush did you use for the shadow and ambient occlusion? Or what was the layer mode?

Hi, I usually used a 20-30% opacity brush with a 100% flow. The layer mode is multiply
you can check on explanation in my blog

Is the AO created in a separate layer then merged with the shadow layer?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, the AO layer should be separated for better control. but it's up to you if you want it to be combine with shadow layer

Okay! Thank you! And one more thing! When you did the AO Layer, did you block the character in white agin then start paint in the darkest areas?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, I did block the character with the light grey color and I start the AO painting there.
Good luck!

I still don't quite understand what ambient occlusion is
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, ambient occlusion is something like a shadow that is created in the very edges of objects that doesnt get any lighting. So that shadow will create a volume to make an object looks 3 dimensional.
Hope it can answer your question

AO is Ambient Occlusion, It is used a lot in the 3d work flow. But it is funny to see it implemented in a 2d work, interesting!
