[Art / Shading Test ] Chibi Neru Akita

[PJAMA]

Thanks, Sir. Sometimes I might get confused on what "depth" really means. Being an Encyclopediac, the word "depth" can have multiple meanings (e.g. 1 - to show how deep a object is, 2 - the level of specificness) Does "depth" mean to make deep or make realistic?

*maaa'ammm

...(Somebody else explain it for me

I'm a loser at shading and I don't want to say something wrong )

Edit: ...Um. well I don't even wanna make you wait so I'll just give it my best shot.

The way I think of it is, you're drawing things on a 2D plane but you kind of want to show that they're not just flat beings. You want to...simulate 3D, I guess. So by showing depth, you're showing that things go deeper, and around, and such. You have to keep real-world light and shadow in mind, too.

Oh, so what you're saying that if my drawn 2D Neru existed in a 3D environment standing on a coordinate plane, there would be stuff in the background just behind her and some parts of her would be 3D-ish, including a shadow.

Like this picture here:


Imagine Miku is 2D and standing in a 3D enviornment, and there's a shadow.

Amirite?
