I just cannot figure out what color the shadow will be on skin or even a object. I dont wanna use the multiply layer as it kinda grays things off.
im very very bad with painting shadow color if its from imagination.
someone help pls
The quick answer is: it depends on the light. cool light, warm shadows, warm light, cool shadows.
This is an over simplification of what happens, but it will get you close.
Now, in this image the light is warm, so the shadow is "relatively" cool. It takes on a little bit of a green tint, and is less red/orange.
This is a big subject, but I hope this helps a little :)
Definetly agree in this particular instance I see a lot of green in the shadow side of her - adding them in would make a huge diference :)
