Thanks for the replies.
well my thoughts on this are what ive been taught what to do very recently and i am for doing it with every piece, dont use lineart to start off, start with lower values and make your way up. i am for this because it does get the job done quicker.I'll try that next time to see how it works out.
i've also noticed that your colors are very close together (there isnt much contrast, i think its that one) using more contrast will make problems like clashing colors, so on so on. but, without the right contrast you will turn into a me and people dont like me's.Yeah, I'm not good at picking colours but I'll play around and see.
Dithering is better as an after thought after all of the volumes and main details are in place, and tends to work much better with contrasting shades to create noticable in-between shades.
And when you dither, use dithering sparingly. It's not just a way to smooth it, but it makes things look rough. Just be smart with shadows, and hard shading is fine, after all there's a lot of that in real life!Yeah, I still haven't gotten the hang of dithering. Can you post an example of how I should do it for this piece?
