Overlay, OVERLAY. I tried this and thought I was supposed to set the high-contrast color to MULTIPLY and damn, that didn't work.

Its called "Visualizing Thru Darkness" Its easier to draw dark to light. You see things differently, and you get more idea's.

He-ey, I took some of the images out of storage. I'm not much around these days anyway so I don't have to look at them all the time

Really? How do you get it to look so rough? (I mean that in a good way, I love how it makes it look like a traditional drawing)

I just... scribble I guess. I have no idea what I do half of the time in Photoshop.

kecen [2010-05-27 00:57:47 +0000 UTC]

I should be cheating too. I didn't know you added the shadows first, but I think I start with a background colour and add highlights to it...sometimes.

GreenSprite [2010-05-27 00:36:56 +0000 UTC]

Are there any benefits to having the *highlight* on a separate layer as opposed to the shading? Just asking because most people do it the other way round.

The yellow really complements the picture here...
I can never figure out what color to use when I shade.
