I love it when someone throws their 2 cents in a constructive manner!! I do understand what you mean by angle and direction, but even still, I don’t always pull it off. I think, for me, I’ve been “over shadowing” and probably need to simplify the amount of areas I add the shading to a character. When it comes to object shading, I find it easy, when it comes to people shading, it frustrates me a bit. Plus there is the whole issue of testing the ways one might want to shadow, using gray tones, or similar colors to the area being shaded etc… and how much to scale the transparency factor back to.

There is a HUGE difference between walking around a locker room bare assed, or being bare assed in general and having your “asphincter says what” violated, even for medical needs!! o.O *grin* …some people just prefer the “exit only” mantra when it comes to that general area!!

I don’t get it. These men refuse to get their prostates examined but will happily walk around a dirty locker room naked and if you let them, they’ll mow the lawn naked too.

Hey Scott. One quick note: When you think of shading, think of where the light source is coming from. I usually have it come in from the top left or top right and then from either in front or behind the characters. When you know where your light source is coming from it makes it a bit easier to determine which areas should be shaded and which should not. I don’t get it right many times myself. Sometimes it can make you crazy. In your P3 above, it looks like the light source is coming from the top left, and from behind. You might want to then try the shading under the glasses rather than above. And the same with the beard. You could try making the left (his front side) lighter rather than the bottom. Same with the hair that sticks out at the top back of his head. Maybe try the light on the left (his front) side and make the right (his back) side dark. In any event, I really like what you’re doing. As for the colors, I guess “muted” would be a good pallete description for them. But still they are clear and bright. The just don’t take over and become the focal point. I think I favor the “muted” colors.
Well take care and hope you don’t mind me throwing in my 2 cents worth.
