How to Color Like a Professional

When Rinotuna does coloring, he doesn't use ANY fancy brushes, literally just a hard round brush and a soft round brush. 😮

More important is the strength and organization of the core shadow.

🌞 LIGHT side vs DARK side 🌚

Notice in the cover photo and the fourth photo, it's just one big shadow shape. No light-side shadows are going to be as dark as dark-side shadows.

Similarly, no dark-side highlights will be as light as light-side highlights

You need to be certain of what lighting environment your character is in and render it consistently.

📈 the dividing line 📉

The dividing line is the edge of the light and dark side you defined. it is actually the DARKEST and most SATURATED part.

That was my notes from rinotuna's course lesson 8! 😋

The course content is going to move away from drawing and more into character design elements now. Not sure if I will finish all the way, but I think that I have learned a lot so far!
