1 Cat 3 Ways to Shade

I wanted to show a little bit of shading from flat colors. I used the same cat in all of the paintings and used flat colors as a base. These were all done fairly quickly in Clip Studio Paint so they are a little messy. I’ll be posting 2 more ways to shade a cat on my Patreon next month! https://www.patreon.com/SmartDummies

The first cat was created using the crayon tool. The second with the pen tool and blurring the edges with the running color on fiber blur tool. The third is with an oil paint brush and the blur tool.

    Thanks for showing us these three ways. How much is Clip Studio Art? Each of them (different applications) have advantages. What did you like most about your favorite way to do this?

      Clip Studio Paint Pro is $50 at their website: https://www.clipstudio.net/en/ don’t buy it now though! Sign up for their newsletter. They often have it at $25 for a digital download. I have not bought the EX version because I haven’t needed it yet.
