Dessiner des animaux : comment dessiner un écureuil

Hi again Brittany, thank you for sharing. Oh what an adorable squirrel!Look at those little paws, so cute! About the shadows, you might have used a low-opacity brush or perhaps a low-opacity layer, so the color of the shadow changed according to the color underneath. (That's my guess at least!)Thank you for your review and feedback as well, always appreciated!Hope to see even more of your art in my other Classes.Keep on drawing, - Patricia

Hi Patricia! Thanks again for your kind words :) You were right about the opacity- I checked my layers and forgot I had changed it! I fixed it but now it seems the shadow part is way too dark. Adds some nice contrast, I guess, but not very realistic. Coloring is really difficult!

You're welcome! Ah no worries, you can try a few different things.

I usually make the shadows in a new layer set to Multiply, choose a color close to the base color of the part I want to shade, and play around with the opacity setting of the layer.

But you can try different ways and see what looks better to you!

Hope that helps :)

You’re right, I forgot about multiply! I’ll be sure to use that next time- I accidentally put the brown color and the shadows on one layer, so I can’t really do it on this project, unfortunately. Thanks for your help :) As you can tell, I need it!

No problem! I'm here to help as much as possible. You're doing great! If you need anything else don't hesitate in messaging me :) Have a great day ahead!
