About Lighting (Patreon)

Hey guys. I just wanted to share a bit and maybe start a conversation at some point.

I was thinking about lighting and shading, which are two things I am very much trying to improve at (in case you didn't notice despite my constant mentioning of how I'm trying different techniques), and I can see some improvement, but I still take a hell of a long time creating the effects I want.

It's not like it is hard to do, it's hard for me to do at a level I want it to be. If I actually had the time and energy to just draw all day, I would possibly make all my drawings with the level of polish and care that I put into this last post of Leah. I spent long hours trying to get the slightest nudges of her figure to look just right, but it took me way too long.

The point is, I know now that I can make this type of lighting and it looks really good, in my honest and humble opinion. But since it takes so goddamn long, I was thinking of only using this on a few drawings, and possibly make that a feature here on patreon and/or as a high level for commissions. Either way, it's nice to know you've gotten better at something after a while.

Also, in case you guys want an update, I'm currently working on a comic about My Hero Academia and thinking about opening a couple of commissions to help me buy Clip Studio Paint. I never really liked the software's design, but I've used it for a couple of hours tops and everyone swears it's good, so... Yeah. Commission slots soon, I'll post them here on patreon first!

EDIT: By the way, I downloaded Discord on my tablet and now I'll get notifications if you talk to me there! I won't always answer right away, but I try to answer everybody when I can talk for at least a few minutes! I hate just answering once and having to cut short a conversation, so if I answer you, I got some time! If you wanna chat, my user is SuperFemLover#8668
