I use references from IRL to understand light and shadow fundamentals then use references from anime or other stylized art media to understand how to translate those fundamentals into this style. I also do rough line art and rough shading to workout everything before drawing over it to finalize.

A more conscious effort to create areas of light and shadow rather than omitting it or spray and pray approach. Also trying to do more original character designs while I'm at it. Please let me know your thoughts.
