ArtRage #6 – Painting SpongeBob, Adding Highlights and Shadows

Click on the image above to watch the ArtRage Video Tutorial

We’re finally getting to SpongeBob in these
ArtRage digital painting tutorial videos!

There’s a lot of color mixing in this lesson, and most of it has to do with creating shadows and highlights.

SpongeBob’s whole face and body are basically just yellow, so I’ve gotta make sure the colors look alive and dimensional. I’ll take advantage of the easy-to-use ArtRage color picker to find variations in the color that represent the sunlight coming in from the upper left…

… and the shadows created on the forms on the lower right.

How are YOUR ArtRage paintings coming along?
