Hey guys!!! I hope that youre well! Heres some more things I worked on. I am really trying to experiment and push my shading to the limits, I thought that I would share with you some things that i have learnt!

- When you have finished the colouring and shading, copy and paste the canvas, then add a hue layer and fill the hue layer with white. This creates a black and white image. Go to the canvas below and adjust the settings, filters, go to curves and toggle the settings. Black and white forces you to focus on the tones rather tHan be distracted by the colours. Make sure that your character stands out from the background in your black and white and then remove the hue layer! The piece may look over saturated but if you adjust the layer opacity you can see what works.

- have a while fill in to help you shade. Effective well rendered shading will mean that the piece is readable even without the lineart (see 4th image).

- paint the background first, then shade the character

- Undertones is so important. I use a dark blue and screen layer

- colour theory - certain backgrounds will affect the appearance of colours used on characters eg a black background and a neon character will make the character appear slightly darker!

- if youre blurring your background, just scribble. Dont worry about accuracy
