A little something I'm working on. I decided to see how far I've improved over the last year by redoing the first pic I drew. Er . . . I do like how this has turned out up to this point. I'm working on the shading for it now and . . . HOW DOES THE SHADING WORK!!!
I know how to do it in Illustrator, but I mean how does it work visually? How do you know where to put the shadows. I'm fumbling around a lot with it trying to figure it out, but . . . well, the objects on the ground have all turned out good, but the people are much harder, especially because frog Link has a secondary light-source hitting him directly in the chest, so he's lit completely differently from the rest of the scene. I'm going to post this work in progress now, just in case I managed to totally fuck up the shading and make it look terrible. I'm saving this version so I can maybe take a second pass at the shading in the future.
