[Ace]

Would anyone who is good in PS tell me a few tips for making shadows on characters when you do manga coloring?

define a light source(or direction)

yeah, but after you do that, I mean, it's difficult to chose the perfect color to make the shadow... anyone have a specific color they use? Just give me the number combo of the color.

I assume you mean like shadowing on faces and stuff you can set the pallete in ps to be changed by the amount of light you can just go down a lew levels on the pallete and use that color
