My experience with “I can only soft shade I don’t know how to cel shade”, is that no matter what it feels unfinished and I can’t just leave it unfinished.
-
“Shadows are shapes, not lines” haha thank you that shot needed to hit my artwork lol.
-
now i know why my arts sometimes look kinda off, thank you for this !
-
Literally perfect timing, I needed to figure this stuff out for my portfolio lol
-
These tips were actually useful, thank you. I'll keep them in mind when i learn light and shadow. Cause let's be honest, if we don't know how to draw shadows, both soft and cell shading will look bad
-
Of course I get a cel shading video halfway through my first cel shading project.
-
This reminds me of the inking step when comics were still hand-drawn
-
Somehow out of everyone I’ve ever listened to (tips for art) you are the ONLY person who’s actually stuck to my head other people either stretched the explanation out to much and made too much going on and everything to difficult to fully understand but you make things short and simple and explain why things need to be the way they are and tips within the tips I know some of that will not make sense
-
You guys must be psychic this is just what I was needing, thanks for the help it’s super useful!!!!!!❤
-
Cel shading works a lot better especially for my art style, that’s why I’m happy I found this video because I kept running into soft shading
-
Thank you. It is so much easier to learn HOW to do something if I know WHY it's done that way.
-
Eyy this is really helpful!! I really suck at shading so this helps a lot!! Im glad i found this!
-
You can also use a single color for a shadow (light purple) and click multiply on a layer. Though I don't know if thats still a good idea or not.
-
Thank you so much for the tips!! Ive been doing cell shading for a while but this has helped me so much!!
-
I love how she makes this fairly easy to understand, she explains everything so well :}}}
-
Omg!! You don't know how grateful I am that this tutorial appeared in my recommendations! I always hated trying to shade my drawings with cel shading because it felt like it was being done wrong or something was missing. But now I have a new perspective on this technique and I can't wait to try using it again!✨💕
-
thank you for this video!
-
Thank you so much for the tutorial
-
I’m excited! I love learning from your channel ❤
-
Because of playing Blue Archive I decided that I want cel shading to become the style I'm gunning for, so thanks for this!
