here is a basic tutorial for shadows .
you will need your line , flat colors and a bg in separated layers. the first step is to you to create a shadow layer between the line and flats . and set it to an opacity or fill to 35%. and you will use pure black for the painting. capture the selection of the flat to use on the shadow layer. ( select/load selection) to paint the shadows you need to understand the volumes of the object you are panting and set a direction of the main light source. try to locate the round and flat areas of the object , and how the light will cast shadows over it . the shadows can be of two types. 1- the natural shadow volume that every part has . they are always soft , and for that you can use a soft brush. 2- the projected shadow from one object over another . they are mainly hard , so you can use a hard brush here, or a soft brush with a small size . after you are done with the shadows , you can set the opacity to zero , and get the selection of this shadow layer, to use on the next step. ( select/load selection) the second step is to paint the definitive shadow . you need to understand that shadows are not always black. shadows are darker versions of the base color . so , over your flat color , using the selection of the shadow layer , you will use the burn tool , with any solid brush. that will provide you a nice colored shadow to your object. its very important that you make just one pass with your pen tablet or mouse . if you let go of them and make another paint stroke , you will have double effect that we dont want . third step , is to get back a little of the shadow layer you had set opacity to zero . try to play a little with some values . you will see your burned painted areas , changing the values of dark. its a good idea to keep a copy of the flat colors , in case you make some mistake when painting the burn areas. well , I believe it would be more simple showing the process than trying to explain it ( specially with my weak english) any doubts , just ask me . thanks for looking . |

the soft shadow , you paint it very light over the round surface.normaly you use a bigger size.
for hard , you set the same soft brush to a small size , but paint it with more pressure , to make a very marked shadow.
