I always felt like my painted lettering was missing
something until a friend showed me this quick, easy tip. It is amazing how some
simple shadowing and highlighting can make painted letters and shapes stand out
so much more.
All you need is the color you intend to paint your letters
in along with black and white.
Start by painting your bubble letters in the solid color you desire.
Then,
mix a small amount of black into the original color to make a darker version of
your original color.
Use the darker color to shadow a few areas along bottom and
sides of letter.
Lastly, add thin lines of highlighting to the corners and
rounded areas of letters.
It's as easy as 1,2,3...Shadowing and highlighting takes letters from flat to dynamic quickly and can also be used on shapes.
