Slowly learning about lightning and shadow...
This one isn't quite done - I leave a lot of them like this, but I have to complete this one. The background will be nearly black, with some green gloss highlights.

Hey Ollie,
This is one of those things I learned early on about creating realistic shadows in color pencil, so I thought I'd pass it along. I works fairly true for all painting/coloring mediums, but more so for Color pencil in my opinion. Just stay away from black. If you need to use black for shadowing, dont. Just mix your dark blues/purples/violets and you should achieve something close to black, but it wont flatten your image as much as black would.
Anyways, your characters are adorable as ever, great work. Love the expressions.

I swear my allegiance and undying love to your artistic style, for it is unrivaled, incomparable and utterly adorable !
The soft tones and shades, earthy smooth colors of traditional tools-of-trade, uncanny depiction of value, authentic architecture and designs, likeable characters... What is there not to be blissful about ?
This particular picture is a rainbow of sight-pleasing forms and hues, however shy the bright colors of a secretive ranger might appear.
Grand work, yet again.

That really is awesome :)
You've got the eyes looking wonderful there, they are definitely something I'd like to see in the final ^^ Perhaps a *little* more detail at the centre, possible suggestion of pupil?
The clothing is really nicely done as well, picking up every crease and fold that needs to be :) Flawless :-D
Even tho I'm pretty much homo, I'd love her to creep into my neck of the woods ^.^ She looks veery interesting :)

Wow bud. I'm really liking how you're posting these with full colors on most of it fading into the sketches. That's a really neat look. Best of all I have to say those eyes are outstanding. The texture on the colors is really nice. I'd love to be able to emulate your coloring style. It's really nice.
