How to Shade Digitally Using CEL SHADING

Hello! I'm Paul, and today we'll be talking about Cel Shading in Digital Art.

I'll start by talking about the two general shading techniques; Cel Shading and Soft Shading, and the difference between them.
Then We'll walk through the various stages I go through when shading with Cel Shading from lineart, to the shading, to light, to sub-surface scattering, and more!

This is my first YouTube video, and I'm no pro artist, I'm just here to share my journey. So please do leave thoughts and pointers in the comments.

Be sure to leave a like if you liked the video, and subscribe if you're willing to stick around.

See you next time! 😉
