Chapter#37

Pineapples!~ Jellybeans!~ PINEAPPLEBEANS!~

Hello there, welcome to another chapter of

Tonaye's Adventures to the World~

Today you won't be seeing much; in my

opinion, I don't think it's much, lols; 

But this was all that was for Lesson 2.

In this class we covered light and shadow 

and different forms of shading. I thought the 

names of the different types were pretty 

self explanatory, but...Well, they were, Lol~ 

Now I'm not gonna explain what these are cause...It might take awhile, and I'm not the best at explaining, Lols! So moving along!

To begin with, he said the first and easiest thing to do is the head. Since the head

is usually a round shape, we can shade it in as if its a sphere as depicted on the left.

Following that, you give abit of light to areas that'd catch abit of light~ Such as the nose.

Another thing he noted was sometimes you're allowed to exaggerate the lighting abit as

the picture can get boring with too much shadow overcast...As long as it makes sense.

I think this use of 'exaggeration' is used mainly 4 lumpy parts of surface, such as his cheek

bone and eyebrow muscle (frontalis)~Finally, you can just touch up on it abit from there.

I didn't like the direction of the light in the above pic, so i chose a more dynamic one below.

(Lol! "A more dynamic one below", get it?!?! :D)

Afterwards, we were asked to give another layer of shading...This time, it was

to cover areas that get 'zero' lighting. This part was a female hippo for me since

I knew the pose was wrong, so it kinda didn't make sense. 

I continued anyway, hoping no one will notice it, ha!~  

Can anyone tell the difference? Cause there is! Another note, my sis opposed to my style 

of rendering the hair - Anime style. She said I should color more realistically as it doesn't 

blend well with this pic, & stated that alot more of my art will look alot better this way as well. Thanks Cat.

Finally we add light to areas that attain most light. 

This part, we were told to make a grey background while doing so....

But in the end, he never told us how to rid of it =_=" Sooo...Huh?

The other 3/4 of the work were tasks coloring in shapes: Not so important for you

guys to know, haha. Well, that's it for LESSON 2~ SEE YOU NEXT TiME. :)

Sooner, hopefully.
