Background and Shading Add 2 new layers for your shading and background. On your samurai, use a translucent spray brush with a black or very dark grey color to add shading. Pick a direction for your light source, and shade all areas that are not directly exposed to sunlight. Color your background layer. Add Color Add another layer between your shading and outline, then hide the layer that has shading. In the new layer, color in your outline. To color fine details and add lighting, simply add layers higher, so that you can tackle each task individually. PicsArt Monthly | 39
