Step 5: Add Shading
Add a new layer and outline
the areas of your drawing
you would like to shade.
Color this outline in black
when you are ready.
Step 6: Background Color
Reduce the opacity of your shade layer for a
more subtle shade. Use brighter tones to add
lighting and reflection in your drawing. Finish
your drawing by using a translucent brush to
add shading and texture to your background.
This creates ambiance and gives your anime
character that final touch of realism it needs!
