WIP: Coloring a Character

For a while now, I’ve wanted to learn how to improve how I shade characters. My current problem is that I tend to spend too much time shading a character, but the quick ways I’ve learned haven’t achieved the look I was aiming for. It’s a big reason why I don’t tend to shade characters in Zombie Ranch.

But with me having to stay at home, I have some free time to practice and try out different techniques.

The image above has the flatting done (flatting = separating areas with a flat color). Next, I will do some research that will mostly consist of me watching YouTube videos for the desired effect, and then testing them out to see if I like them.
