Shading 1O1
by Logan
Theres four 4 different ways I
ve learned to shade using ANSi, Ill
demonstrate all four by shading a ball.
Theres a flat color approach and a value change approac
h,
and a positive and negative approach for each of them
Dont worry, Ill explain everything
Flat Colors F5-F6 Value Changes F1-F6
-positive-
Now notice how both balls are recieving light from upper
-right.
Notice how the left uses only the F5 and F6 buttons to achie
ve the effect.
The style on the right is most often used, but I still like
the style on the
left. Especially when Im using color 8 or dark grey
. The style on the left
is also handy when youre working in smaller areas that dont
appreciate,
the style on the right.
I call this positive b
ecause you are Highlighting the object.
-negative-
Same basic operation except this time were actually Sha
ding.
Now choosing a style really depends on your personal taste
. Since
I use all four I choose the style that best fits the situation
ALSO, remember, when usi
ng the Value Changing style make sure your
second color is always a darker shade of the first. N
ever use black as your
second color unless youre working with dark grey. It
looks crappy.
Now you can combine the two styles only with tones of gr
ey.
colors: 8,7,and15
-both-
See, its possible to both techniques with other colors
such as red,
blue, and green, but you wil
l have to use dark grey with those as well and it
doesnt look as good.
Welp, there ya go. I hope that helps
