Talk About Subsurface Scattering
Added 2020-09-28 10:18:34 +0000 UTCSubsurface Scattering happens under a beam of strong light, in the shade side of a character. Usually it implies the flesh color under the skin or it implies the sub color under a material.
If you add the subsurface scattering effect for a character, it will give more fleshy sense to them.
And note it, subsurface scattering will be very strong when the skin or material is pretty thin.
Ps. Don't mess up the light source. You have to make sure which part is illuminated by the sunlight and which part is from the sky light. Yeah the sky light happens where the sunlight is not covered.

i see, i didn't know how to tell how healthy the animal can be. That's an interesting fact. :o Hey no problem. You can add some even it's not a painterly style. It can be fun. :) I'm really happy if it helps you. ^^ Oh btw, yes fur is not thin at all, but usually the ears can be the most thin body part, so adding some SS effect on them can be fine as well. :)

2020-10-02 19:46:32 +0000 UTCHooo I see OwO , I do the same kind of method when I shading and light my draw. I must admit I have more and more facility force to practice, me I generaly use the eyes's reflect for help me to see where do the light come from ^^ also recently I have try to add a new kind of light on my characerd (mine are not Thin atall if I compare them to your dragy scale :p ) so I use the furr for fo my reflexion. So like you can see it in my last post I have try a new kind of light on Hake's furr as a test and I was pretty happy with how it turned >w<. Indeed I find it make the furr more "alive" you know ? We often said we see if an animal is in good health by how his furr shining under light, more it look like a "miror surface" the most it mean the animal is in good health, a not light furr show spin are in bad health so give also an idea of the healt of the animal. I will now use this lightning method more often ^^. Well difference with you is me I don't search to have a painting-style, I want keep close from what you see on colored-manga so generaly the BG is painting but not the character and it's exactly what I want to do . But your tutorials are realy helpfull for me Ben, thanks ! I'm sure I'll improve very fast glad to your help >x< !!
