Moving right along! Another day, another page. Progress has been steady (knock on wood). This page was a great exercise in lighting. I really like the way the shadows and highlights came out on this page, and the preview shows some good examples. I have also been experimenting with coloring the line work more — darkening the lines in shadow, and lightening the highlighted lines. I have also been lightening the "detail" lines, so that they are more natural. For example, there are lines that denote the creases in the skin on the knuckles. If I left them full-strength, the hand may look too old and wrinkly. But by keeping the lines, but lightening them to slightly darker than the surrounding skin, it looks more natural.
