■ Painting the Belly ① The anatomy of the abdomen (In the illustration above, I drew such vivid shade since I imagined a school uniform blazer which doesn’t have a soft texture) The shade doesn’t always have to be as clear as the one on the left but you should change the strength of the vividness depending on the texture. You can see that the borderline of the shade is vague and the colors seem mixed. The mistakes I see often are like the one on the right, where the shade has been painted probably using the airbrush and the blur tool. The below compares the correct shading and the bad shading, using the crease as an example. This is the “bad habits of shading” I talked about in the beginning. Be careful as the screen can look quite dirty. but this ends up mixing the colors and the illustration would lose three-dimensionality. In contrast, you should draw the shade quite vividly on the other side since it is far from the light source.īeginners tend to do their best to blur the drop shadows of clothes and hair using the airbrush etc. The closer the distance to the light source, the blurry the edges of the drop shadow should be. Since the former would receive strong effects from the light of the outside world, the latter is the correct answer here. Which of the following do you think will have a clear borderline of color on the skin surface the part receiving strong direct light (close to the light source) or the part receiving little light (far from the light source) ? I will explain the basics of painting using the navel as an example. ![]() ![]() Keep in mind such basics when you set the light source, place it so the light hits the frontal part of the illustration. This isn’t limited to the belly but when you are thinking about the lighting, remember that you can create depth when the forepart receives the light and the back part is darker. When you are painting the shade, you have to think about where on the screen the light shines from and where the light hits, creating a shade. First I will introduce the basics of how shading should be thought of.
