Shadow & Lightd Exercise

By @airiam12/4/2021hive-159845

A lot of things happened, including Twitter blocking my account accidentally, so I wasn't in a mood to draw before I got that sorted out.

Now, as I'm stuck in a rather ambitious drawing, I've picked up on testing a new way to color lights and shadows to fight artblock. It consist in placing a layer on multiply with a dark color, like purple, and then a yellow or another light color set in an overlay layer. Then you erase in the first layer where you want your lights to hit and voila!

It creates a pretty effect if you use a soft eraser😁

This is one of the few drawing I did to test this tecnique, as well as try out a few new things. I really like how everything but her face turned out, but that might be just my natural hatred for side-profile drawing speaking, I just can't get proportions right when they're like that xD

Anyhow, I recorded the whole process in case anyone is curious of what I did, but I'll upload it tomorrow or the day after because I'm currently 🎇E X A U S T E D🎇

Have a nice weekend everyone :P
