Winter DP

very nicely done!!

a few questions:

what program did you use?
did u use a tablet pen?
did you paint both the before and after?

i like the shadows and the clothing you painted very nicely done ^^

but there is one very important notion about shadow, try avoid using black for shadow, i know what ur thinking, but if you look in real life you never really see black as shadow, and im not talking about intensity here, not at all, im talking about colour! light is warm, shadows are cold

but depending on the light sources and sub surface scattering (a bit in depth here) the shadow could change colour and you could get reflected lights and all sorts of stuff


here are some links to get you started:
