Josie Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 So how would I do shading for different types or similar designs like these? And how would I do it so it doesn’t look so out of whack and goofy like a kid did it but more like an adult did it? Thanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josie Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 How would I do shading for these specific designs or similar using the pen tool or shapes? I would like to know how to do it exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 The techniques are identical. You need to learn to apply the basic technique (which I think has been explained) and then it should work for all those.

Josie Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Yes but I have not figured out how to do shading when it comes to the curvy parts. That’s what I’m trying to get at. Or how to curve the shading so it fits nicely in the design This is what I have so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josie Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 I duplicated the shape twice then selected them both and subtracted them. That’s how I got the shading. Now how would I do that for different designs like these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find that you like the first result (in which case, job done) but if not you can attempt to analyze what you dislike about it and/or you can ask for input from other users.

The same way as we did the cookie at the start of this thread, but using a heart shape instead of an ellipse: use a darker shade of pink for the main heart and then put a smaller and lighter heart on top, offsetting it to one side so that part of the darker heart underneath becomes visible for the shading.
