Description So turns out that Udon Entertainment has it's own DA page: . Recently they uploaded this sketch of Chun Li by Alvin Lee in higher res, so that people may try and color it. It's been a while since I did something for the fun of it, so I did this inbetween working on projects. It's not super-refined, but it was cool to do, just throwing a bunch of colors together and cutting loose.

Pencils: Alvin Lee
Colors: Me (Monk)

Software: Photoshop CS

/EDIT: fixed some little lighting issues and did some subtle color changes. Not a whole, but worth it.

I know what you mean. I was simply mentioning that the arm part near the elbow would still be nearest to the audience (us) and hence there should be some (even if it is just a little bit) of light where her arm bends, especially as the overall lighting seems to be hitting from an almost front on view as mentioned by *SuperUndiesMan . (In simpler terms, a "triangle" shape of light where her arm bends, and near connected to the rest of her arm).
The top part of the arm would still be in shadow, but the little bit of light near opposite her elbow joint would allow for it to appear more solid, while still keeping that depth. It won't even be a lot of light, but would make the difference from the arm being the one shade.
I was only wishing to further explain *SuperUndiesMan 's comment and you do not have to take it into consideration.

No, I take it into consideration, it's just that I disagree. :]
I don't think the elbow would be nearest to the audience, judging by the perspective on her wrist it seems to be going away from us rather than towards us.

on her arm the lightsource seems like it's coming almost from her immediate right, and the light on her face seems to be coming from more of a front-on direction

Because if it's the left, HER right arm, then I think I see what you're talking about.

actually it's her right. judging from the cast shadow on her face from her hair the direction would be almost level with her face in a front-on/her right angle. and looking at her almost concave midsection i think there should be light hitting her lower bicep/inner elbow.
but y'no if you're trying to pull her left arm back a bit with colours then i'll sit back and shut up
