Woo! Ok, so I've got the outline going here, but I'm really not sure how to shade the front of the skirt. I'm pretty sure the lines I have for the folds are all wrong though. :p

Re: H|F Pudi - Co-stars!
Great choice of base! I really like the design so far as well!
I will say however, im not sure weather the train is connected to the rest of the skirt of the dress?
The train looks so flowy and the skirt looks pleated.
Think in more random shapes for a more realistic look. Sometimes art can be too perfect.
I would add "folds" under the waistline. Try not having so many folds, leave it up to the shading.

Re: H|F Pudi - Co-stars!
Sorry, I didn't mean to vanish! The Witcher 2 came out, and between that and work... Well. *blush*
Yeah, the train is supposed to be connected. I fixed the outline, so it drapes over the right leg a bit. I think it looks better now.
I'm not sure what you mean about random shapes?
I did scribble this mess out. Fewer folds, but... ick. All the folds near the top are horrible, and most of the ones on the bottom are too. *head desk*

Ha, don't want to feel like I'm hogging the thread. If there's anything you want to share, I'd be more than happy to take a look and offer any sort of help!

Re: H|F Pudi - Co-stars!
I really like the dress and shoes! You have such a neat shading style that it makes things pop! That said, I have to say that the hair seems... funny. It looks kind of flat compared to everything else - she needs more defined strands, rather than just the highlights. I think that might make it look more cohesive with the rest of the doll.

The very bottom of the dress is funny. Dresses confuse me greatly.

Re: H|F Pudi - Co-stars!
This was the ref pic I was going by. The dress doesn't really have any folds to it near the hem - it's pretty straight.
Linked out for size
Ha, darn, I was being lazy and thought I could get away with putting him higher up than her. Yeah, I can make him taller. Just need to stretch his legs out a bit.

Re: H|F Pudi - Co-stars!
I would say after seeing that to you should use lighter shadow colors and also try more odd shapes..... It looks like a bedsheet or something I guess?

Re: H|F Pudi - Co-stars!
Hee, I'm not dead! I just tend to disappear for extended lengths of time...
Ok, my new project is to doll John Marston. I want to try using dramatic lighting, for a sort of cowboy-in-the-sunset type look. Like this, but less... dramatic.
Buuuut I suck with light sources.

I'm not really sure what the high points would be, and where the sunlight would be hitting. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
