no you just are retarded.
Is literally basic retard level shadow work of the muscles, but then you just blur everything, and then detail to give more volume, in this case the artist just add little sparks of blur light, like... airbrush in Sai with low opacity.
Of course is impossible if you don't even know basic anatomy.

Good attempt! Now here is my small critique + edit. I got rid of the bump of the bottom of the ribcage because it seems to be causing some confusion, and to be honest, it's not that sexy. Keep in mind the anatomy when you are rendering. It seems that you may have been trying to shade in abs, but 1) that's not where they are located and 2) without additional shading on the other side it just looks like a random lump. Also keep in mind contrast and light source. You have these light shadows all over the body but this intense shadow on the upper ribcage - ask yourself why? It is a relatively flat plane, not counting deformities. Also don't forget your hard edges!

Since this seems to be the anime shading thread allow me to ask a question

Can reflected light(ambient light) create a Cast shadow? If not then is it a stylistic choice from the Artists to make the ambient occlusion into a cast shadow shape like in this picture with Miku's necktie?

I see it all the time in awesome works, usually with skirt that are inside the core shadow and yet still projecting a cast shadow

[Anonymous No.4376457]

>>4376454
Depends on the ambient light strenght i would say. The picture is also a little confusing because that shadow could also simply be her tit casting it. Just do what looks or feels right.

certain types of coloring and rendering can affect how the viewer percieves the same object

If you paint a naked girl with reddish, warm tones, soft shadows, appealing skin coloration, etc. it makes it more approachable and inviting.
But if you approach the same painting with desaturated hues. weird, offputting colors in the skintone and say, the figure partly obscured or with striking hard shadows it can give off a completely different impression.

That's why you can tell an lewd artist from a non-nsfw one by just looking at their sfw work. some of this stuff carries over in style and most artists don't really notice.

Seconding any sort of help as well. Figuring out the light source is hell

[Anonymous No.4395446]

>>4395193
Just a few pointers from another /beg/:

First things first try studying and drawing simple cast shadow from one source of light. Like a box or whatever and something more complex with more planes with angled and round surfaces and more objects in the scene casting the shadow on one another. You may try adding more light sources. This involves perspective.

For starters you have to see and understand how value relate to the source of light. Particularly how value changes due to the plane being under an angle and where the light rays reach and don't.

Next is the reflected light and occlusion.

Each surface is basically a mirror albeit often times a really shitty one. This affects the color heavily plus creates more values in the shadow when compared to a singular light source. Technically even a scene with single light source will have reflected light from surrounding surfaces and objects but when you are starting out it's better to put it away before you understand cast shadow.

Occlusion is basically any light being blocked due to planes being too close together hence creating darker shadows since light cannot reach the surfaces.

Study the photos, real life and renders to see how color and values change due to adjacent things.

Plus the color of light itself affects the color of surfaces it reflects of off but it really depends on the material of the surface and intensity of the light.
