The tutorial on Shading\lighting Pt. 1!
ALTIt's finally here!
This is an extremely broad and complicated topic! I would like to kick this off from a little theory rundown, at the very least the way I understand it. I hope this will make sense for y'all :)
The basics:
Iβll try to concisely break down the βmodelβ of the Shading βstructureβ
ALTBTW this is also why the Moon shadow looks so dark and overbearing, there's no medium for the light to scatter in, or surface for it to bounce off :D
ALTWith this in mind, the first step of shading can be as simple as marking out the proportion between the dark and the light, before thinking of any subtleties of additional elements. For simple styles this can be enough on itβs own
ALTIn my humble opinion, the exact physics and geometry of the way light interacts with the object isnβt that important. Thereβs a lot of very neat resources and apps that can help you with it, but it is not the subject of this particular tutorial. In most cases, a vague gesture at the flightβs direction and the shape of an object is enough. In a lot of cases, even for fairly realistic styles, itβs helpful to neglect accuracy sometimes in favor of readability and\or expression :0
The other important aspect of shading is the angle. This is primarily what causes the terminator (edge between light and dark) to have variations in how sharp the transition is.
Curved surface makes the transition look smooth. Sharp turns and twists cause the change to be sudden.
ALTNote: the further the casting object is from the surface it projects on, the blur-ier the shadow gets.
If I understand correctly:
Light reflected sharply retains more of itβs energy (brightness), while wide angle makes it lose more of it to the object and surrounding medium. I think it has something to do with the wavelength stuff, which effects color outcomes too!
Iβm not 100% sure of the specifics on all that, itβs been a while since I learned this.
I highly recommend this website that has a lot of rly cool info on the topic as a whole!: http://www.huevaluechroma.com/index.php
And that's it for today! I hope this was somewhat informative, this is my first time ever attempting something like this :3
Next time I will specifically focus on application and techniques!~

dont know what the painting part of this means but heres some normal photographs ive taken, with my camera
With your camera? How… how did you get the first shot, on the outside of the plane?
