...

Several copies of work pasted from Deviant art and claimed to be done with them or by him then claims it as his own until caught. There is a private episode involved which I am not going to bring up.

I finished him last night, he has a shadow

Did you use a 3D modeling program to do that?

Quote: Yes! I use a base model to pose then I modify and do the artwork. It has helped and saved me loads of time. Soon I won't need it anymore, as I am figuring out the shading. These are illustrations for my graphic novel.

Here is a freehand in progress. Not using a 3D model but a picture of someone posed like this. I sketched it then scanned it. The more I do the more I figure out how to do it free hand. I drew as a kid then stopped started up again about 15 month ago.

and others using the 3D model combo picture.... the trick is to zoom way in, ad a ton of detain then zoom out... good looking art! I use a Wacom Bamboo Tablet.

I am working on the suit. If I do slightly lighter shades it may help. But black is tricky. I am still learning. And thanks My book is epic.. I want epic illustrations!

Yes, black is undoubtedly the HADREST color to achieve properly. Which is odd if you think about it.

Now if it is a shiny black and silver horse body.. yes much better.

Personally, I like drawing dark skin tones. I enjoy pushing values and you can't always do that with light skin tones.

You don't need to make the black lighter. Keep it dark and add highlights. It's the same concept of pushing values.

To experiment, take a sheet of black paper and use a piece of white chalk to draw one of your characters. You should be able to accomplish the same values by adding highlights as you would with black on a white piece of paper.
